Nurse Staffing Information Not Clearly Posted
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that nurse staffing information was posted in a clearly visible and prominent location that was readily accessible to residents and visitors. During observations at two nurse stations, the nurse staffing information was found posted on the wall behind the nurse's stations, making it not visible to residents. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the information was not posted in the correct location and acknowledged it should be in front of the nurse's station for visibility. A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) also confirmed posting the information behind the nurse's station and stated that although she usually posts it in front, some residents had been removing the information, which led to its placement behind the station.
