Finding: 2023-001 Federal Agency Name: Department of Education Program Name: Student Financial Assistance Cluster ALN #: 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, and 84.268 Finding Summary: 34 CFR 690.83(b)(2) and 34 CFR 685.309 states that Institutions are responsible for timely and accurate reporting of a student's enrollment status and changes in those enrollment statuses, whether they report directly or via a third-party servicer. When an Institution is made aware of a change in a student's enrollment status, the Institution has 60 days to update the change in enrollment status via NSLDS. During the testing of compliance for Enrollment Reporting, there were six instances out of 29 where CSI did not report a student's change in enrollment status accurately or within the required time frame of 60 days from the effective date of the student's change in enrollment status. Responsible Individuals: Bethany Parmer, Registrar and Larisa Alexander Information Technology Corrective Action Plan: The Office of the Registrar and Information Technology team is currently working with the Student Information System support to determine the cause of an issue with the National Student Clearinghouse reporting related to the graduated status. The Office of the Registrar will be ensuring these graduated statuses are entered manually to NSC/NSLDS within the 60 days of completion until the reporting issue is resolved. Anticipated Completion Date: January 12, 2024

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.

U.S. Department of Education 2023-001: Special Tests and Provisions - National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Reporting Condition: Student’s change in enrollment status was not properly reported to National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS).
