Failure to Properly Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to post the required daily nurse staffing information in a location that was highly visible to residents, as mandated by regulations. On the day of the survey, the Assistant Administrator provided a document titled 'Nursing Schedule' that was found on top of the ledge of the first floor nurse's station, facing the ceiling and not visible to residents. Both the Assistant Administrator and the Director of Nursing confirmed that this was the document used for posting staffing information and that it was kept at the nurse's station. Additionally, the provided document did not include all required information, such as the facility name, the total number and actual hours worked by RNs, LPNs, and CNAs per shift, or the resident census. The facility's own policy states that nurse staffing data should be posted daily for each shift in accordance with state and federal regulations.
