diagnoses including Antisocial Personality Disorder, Schizoaffective Disorder and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. On 11/22/25 at 12:34 pm, V6 (Resident R2's friend) stated, (Resident R2) lived with me for two and a half years and I speak with him still. (V3) told me that something happened to his debit card, and he thinks it was (V3) because the money has been missing since he gave it to her.On 11/25/25 at 10:57 am, V14 (Resident R2's friend and insurance company) stated, I used to work at the Facility as a Registered Nurse and I still go and visit.
When I talked to (Resident R2) on 9/18/25 at the Facility, (Resident R2) told me about (Resident R2's) debit card getting lost and about all the money (Resident R2) lost. (Resident R2) told me that a few weeks prior, (V3) took his debit card to buy him some cigarettes and ended up taking the card home and apparently losing the card, which is questionable. Right around that time (Resident R2's) account was drained and all these charges for gambling and extra stuff showed up
on (Resident R2's) statement. When I worked at that Facility, most of the Residents have psychological needs and are clueless to the financial aspect of their needs, so the staff usually do their shopping for them. There was never a process for taking Resident's money and shopping for them. Some Residents would also use cash and employees would go shop with their cash.On 11/25/25 at 9:44 am, V12 (Office of Attorney General Medicaid Fraud Control Unit) stated, We have a current investigation for (Resident R2) over the debit card transactions. I am still investigating these charges and waiting for further documentation.On 11/25/25 at 8:45 am, V3 (Activity Director) stated, Part of my job duties was to shop for the Resident, I had to shop for many of the Residents tobacco and stuff. I did take (Resident R2's) debit card and I misplaced it over the weekend when I was moving. I do not remember when all this happened, but I think it was a couple weeks before my last day on 9/8/25. On 9/8/25, I had to take a leave of absence for personal issues, and I no longer work there.On 11/22/25 at 9:09 am, Resident R2 stated, I have an active police investigation because a couple months ago, I gave my debit card to (V3) because (V3) was buying my tobacco for me. I really think that (V3) spent my money on that card. There are charges for liquor stores and gambling places. (V3) bought me the wrong kind of tobacco, so (V3) told me that (V3) would just keep the card and go after work and get me the right kind of tobacco, but (V3) ended up taking my debit card home over the weekend and lost it. (V3) told me that (V3) was moving that weekend and does not know where it got lost at. (V3) did not help me get a new card issued, someone else helped after I never got the first one. I had around $2600.00 on that card and
after a month it was in the negative. I filed a police report on Wednesday 9/10/25 and (V3) quit shortly after that. My card was never found, but I did get a new card finally. It was so wrong that I could not trust (V3) and it has been a real pain and has caused me many problems. I just want my money back.On 11/23/25, V1 (Administrator) stated, (Resident R2) does not have a community pass and normally does not leave the Facility, so usually (V3) would go shopping for (Resident R2's) tobacco products. A week or so before (V3's) last day (9/8/25), (V3) took (Resident R2's) debit card home over a weekend and lost the debit card. We requested a copy of the debit card statements and there were multiple charges for gambling establishments, clothing, and other business. The police were notified, and the investigation is still ongoing. We have had a hard time getting ahold of (V3) and (V3) is not returning my phone calls. We do not have a safe process in place for our employees to do personal shopping for our Residents. It is probably not a good idea that an employee take cash or a debit card from the Residents.
