Audit of ND Veterans Home raises multiple concerns, including one that led to death of resident

LISBON, N.D. (KFGO) – The North Dakota State Auditor’s Office says its latest audit of the State Veterans Home in Lisbon has raised several concerns, including an incident that led to the death of a resident because of an incorrect meal. The audit says the patient choked to death because their diet plan was not followed. It also identified three other points of concern. The office says that performance evaluations were filled out incorrectly, one salaried employee was paid more than $55,000 in overtime that didn’t match records and reviews of financial transactions was done by someone unqualified. The audit was completed for the biennium that ended on June 30th of last year. KFGO News has reached out to veterans home to request a comment.
