The files in question will be adjusted during the tenant’s annual recertification. The housing managers (along with internal audit team members) will attend yearly rent recalculation refresher courses and check for errors when recalculating rent. For the first file in question, the total overpayment of $1,430 has been credited to the tenant’s account. The internal audit team will conduct internal tenant file reviews monthly.

Silverstone Living (SL) recognized several operational opportunities for the sustainability of the Foundation, which is the reason why the affiliation occurred. These opportunities were three-fold: increasing census to fill beds which have been unoccupied for some time, maximizing the reimbursement for services already being provided, and the control and reduction of expenses. In the short amount of time since the affiliation with SL, the average daily census has increased over the prior 3-year period by nearly 7% for Assisted Living services, and nearly 9% for skilled and nursing services. This equates to over $1,000,000 in additional annual revenues because of the census increase alone. SL believes that there is potential to further increase census as we continue to stabilize and onboard additional clinical staffing. SL recently brought on an individual skilled in coding maximization to ensure the Foundation receives the appropriate reimbursement for the services being provided which was previously lacking. On the expense side, SL renegotiated rates with staffing agencies for clinical positions as well as the contracted rehabilitation services to reduce the amounts being charged which has resulted in nearly $40,000 per month in savings from the earlier part of the calendar year. SL also brought the Foundation under its umbrella in the areas of employee benefits and facility insurance, negating any premium increases and a reduction of over $50,000 in Workers Compensation insurance premiums in the coming year. Through attrition, SL also worked to restructure and eliminate several non-clinical positions for operational efficiency and will continue to review staffing needs as turnover occurs. SL is continuing to transition administrative functions such as payroll and accounting onto its systems, further reducing outside contracted services and systems over the coming months. Through this multi-pronged approach, we are seeing dramatic improvements in the financial outlook of the Foundation. During the 3-month fiscal period beginning 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, there has been a $670,000 improvement in income from operations, which we believe will trend throughout the remainder of the new fiscal year, and into the future.

Action taken in response to finding: A clerical support position was recently hired at the end of November, 2023 who will be responsible for handling all receipts and processing of deposits via remote deposit, which was also recently implemented so deposits can be done daily. This will segregate the cash handling from the recording of receipts once he is fully trained on the system. Bank reconciliation reviews will be completed monthly.

Finding Number: 2023-001 Condition: In a monitoring visit performed by HUD, the grantor found that rent reasonableness determination was not completed on five of the six files reviewed. In our testing we found that six of ten participants we tested did not have a rent reasonableness determination dated prior to the grant funds being expended Planned Corrective Action: The Organization revised the program policy to compare the rent reasonableness of at least three similar units using the Rent Reasonableness Comparison worksheet before any lease-up and document the test with evidence that is reviewed and verified with a supervisor signature prior to execution of the lease. The Organization will repeat this process annually as long as the participant remains in the same unit. The Organization also hired an extra full-time program quality control staff to monitor the compliance with the procedures. Moreover, The Organization will have an internal audit by the finance department at the halfway point of the grant year.
