Upon written request, how many calendar days does the facility have to return a resident's funds given for safekeeping?

The correct response to the question regarding the timeframe for returning a resident's funds given for safekeeping is 15 days. This is established under Indiana regulations that govern the handling and safekeeping of residents' funds in facilities. Upon receiving a written request from a resident for the return of their funds, the facility is obligated to process this request within 15 calendar days.

This provision ensures that residents have prompt access to their funds and maintains financial accountability for facilities entrusted with handling residents' money. Timely return of funds is crucial in fostering trust and ensuring the well-being of residents, who may rely on these funds for their daily needs.

The other options reflect durations that exceed the established timeframe and would not comply with the legal requirement to return the funds within the specified 15-day period.
