Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Registered Nurse (RN) was on duty for at least 8 hours per day, 7 days a week, as required. Record review and staff interviews confirmed that there was no RN coverage on several specific dates, and the Director of Nurses acknowledged the absence of RN staff on those days. Facility schedules for July and August documented the lack of RN coverage on multiple occasions, and the Director of Nurses confirmed via email that no RN was present during those times. This deficiency had the potential to affect all 50 residents currently residing in the facility. No information was provided regarding the specific medical history or condition of any individual resident at the time of the deficiency.
