How long does the facility have to account for a resident's funds after their death?

The timeframe in which a health facility must account for a resident's funds after their death is set at 30 days. This regulation ensures that there is a prompt and transparent accounting process for any financial matters related to the deceased resident. This requirement protects the interests of the resident's estate and ensures that any funds or assets are handled correctly and in accordance with legal and ethical standards. Facilities need to adhere to this timeframe to maintain accountability and transparency in their financial practices, which is essential in building trust with residents and their families.
