Failure to Post Accessible Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to post nurse staffing information in a prominent place accessible to residents and visitors. On two separate occasions, the white board behind the nurse's station did not display complete or current staffing information, including the date, shift, or number of hours worked by each staff member. Additionally, the board did not include the facility's census. An LPN acknowledged the incomplete information and indicated that the required details were posted down the hall across from the offices. The administrator confirmed that the staffing information was located on a cork board in a hallway that primarily contained offices, which was not easily accessible to visitors, despite their assertion that visitors frequently come down that hall to speak with administrative staff.
