Failure to Publicly Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to display the daily nurse staffing information in a clearly visible and accessible location for residents, staff, and visitors. During a facility tour, surveyors observed that the required staffing information was not posted anywhere in public view. An interview with the receptionist confirmed that the daily nursing staff schedule was kept at the nurse's station and was not accessible to the public. Facility policy requires that the number of licensed nurses and unlicensed nursing personnel responsible for direct resident care be posted in a prominent and readable location within two hours of each shift's start. At the time of the survey, the facility census was 108 residents. No specific residents or staff members were directly affected or mentioned in relation to the deficiency, and no medical history or resident conditions were described in the report.
