Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the Director of Nursing (DON) worked full-time, defined as 35 hours per week, in the building. Review of facility deployment sheets showed that the DON was assigned to work as a charge nurse and floor nurse on multiple days, rather than performing the duties of the DON. During an interview, the DON confirmed working in these alternate nursing roles instead of fulfilling the required full-time DON responsibilities, resulting in the DON not meeting the mandated hours for the position. No information about specific residents or their medical conditions was included in the report.
