| At the end of each month, the monthly ledger sheet and any left over monies are returned to the office for reconciliation. The spending cash for the new month is then disbursed to the home. Any previous records (dating back to 6 months) will be located with Finance at the office. Staff were also trained to record each transaction on the ledger sheet; having the receipt of purchase is not enough. House Supervisors have been instructed to include the audit of the spending cash and MAR as part of their daily inspections. Lastly, receipts for grocery or cleaning supplies must be submitted to the house supervisor and no longer stored with receipts for consumer spending cash. All of this was addressed in the all staff training conducted on 2/14/2020. |

6400.32(h) | A video capturing camera was located in the main living area of individual 1. The camera was installed in the residence without documentation of notice, consent from the individual and who controls the technological device. The purpose of the device was not clear and there was no individual centered plan on why device was installed nor any outcomes to achieve greater independence and privacy for individual 1.
Agency stated camera was turned off at the time of inspection. | An individual has the right to privacy of person and possessions. | The original purpose was an added measure to ensure the health and safety of the individuals. More specifically, it helped with any incidents of abuse or neglect reported in a timely fashion (within the last 72 hours of when the incident occurred) as we are able to view any motion movements detected by the camera. The video camera is unplugged. Also, an EIM has been entered regarding this and it is under investigation.
Going forward and with the release of the Regulatory Compliance Guide (RCG), we have been scheduling team meetings with the SCs, family members and Behavioral Specialists of the individuals and are using the technology guide of the RCG to determine if we are keeping or disconnecting the cameras. |
