Summary
The facility failed to employ a full-time licensed Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) authorized by the State of Maryland during two distinct periods. Record review and interviews revealed that from November 9, 2022, until November 15, 2023, and again from February 4, 2024, until March 4, 2024, the facility did not have an NHA with a valid Maryland license. The surveyor was unable to verify the licensure status of several individuals listed as administrators during these periods, and the current administrator confirmed the absence of a licensed NHA for the specified times. This deficiency was identified during an investigation into an anonymous complaint regarding the facility's operation without a full-time licensed NHA.
