Summary
The facility failed to meet the required staffing levels for nurse aides across multiple shifts over a period from December 10 through December 19, 2024. Specifically, the facility did not maintain the minimum staffing ratio of one nurse aide per 10 residents during the day shift on five occasions, one nurse aide per 11 residents during the evening shift on two occasions, and one nurse aide per 15 residents during the night shift on four occasions.
