Summary
The facility failed to provide the required registered nurse (RN) coverage, as evidenced by a review of staff schedules from 07/14/24 to 08/31/24, which showed multiple days with either no RN coverage or less than the mandated eight hours of RN coverage. Specific dates were identified where no RN was present, and on some days, RN coverage was less than the required duration. This deficiency was confirmed during an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), who acknowledged the lack of proper RN coverage on the listed dates. The absence of adequate RN staffing had the potential to affect all 70 residents residing in the facility.
