St. John was charged a management fee by SeniorLife, its parent but did not have an approved management contract meeting the requirements of the regulatory agreement. Questioned costs: None. Context: St. John did not have an approved management agreement. Cause: St. John?s existing management agreement was with Lutheran Affiliated Services (LAS) from 1992 and had not been updated to reflect the current management fee charged by the successor to LAS, SeniorLife. Effect: The management agreement was not approved by HUD and did not contain the provisions required by the regulatory agreement. Recommendation: St. John should enter into an approved management agreement with SeniorLife. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: St. John updated internal agreements to reflect the change from Lutheran Affiliated Services to Lutheran SeniorLife, but neglected to complete the process with HUD. St John will submit the paperwork to obtain a certified HUD approved management agreement. While the organization was operating without this agreement in place, management fees charged were only to reimburse costs incurred in performing these management functions. During Fiscal Year 2021, St John entered into a refinancing plan with a lender in order to facilitate a repositioning of the facility and to enable facility improvements that were identified. The closing on the refinancing of the existing HUD loan took place on July 8, 2021

St. John received a REAC inspection score of less than 31, which denotes the property has physical deficiencies that do not meet contractual obligations to HUD. Questioned costs: None. Context: Results of REAC inspection 613308. Cause: St. John has not corrected all deficiencies identified during the REAC inspection. Effect: Noncompliance with HUD requirements. Recommendation: St. John should work to address all REAC inspection findings. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Subsequent to this survey, the facility incurred significant flooding, which required immediate action. Due to this, St. John did not have the ability to address the findings from the survey. With a protracted insurance claims process and the impact of Covid-19 on building operations, work on the outstanding deficiencies has been delayed. Due to the risk to residents and staff, all outside visitors including maintenance contractors and other vendors has been limited for a number of periods during the pandemic during FY21. Management completed an assessment of the facility?s use and has begun a repositioning plan to bring new living options into the building. In order to complete the needed improvements to the building, St. John has completed a refinancing of its existing HUD debt and negotiated a construction loan to fund the improvements. The closing on the refinancing of the existing HUD loan and the construction loan took place on July 8, 2021.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYQUESTIONED COSTSOTHER MATTERS

Two instances of expenses incurred prior to March 1, 2020 were included in the Non-Public Nursing Facility Act 24 Cost Reporting Form. Questioned costs: $38,962. Context: 60 expenses sampled from the Non-Public Nursing Facility Act 24 Cost Reporting Form. Cause: Expenses were included based on payment date rather than incurred date. Effect: Overstatement of reported expenses in the Non-Public Nursing Facility Act 24 Cost Reporting Form. Recommendation: St. John should review all expenses being reported to ensure they relate to the proper reporting period.. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management acknowledges the inclusion of two expenses on the ACT24 cost report that were outside the reporting period. These were pulled in error based on the payment date of the expense versus the incurred date. There were sufficient expenses reported to cover the use of funds with the exclusion of these two items. For any future reporting, management will implement further detailed review of reported expenses to ensure that all expenses are reported in the proper period by incurred date versus payment date.
