Summary
The facility failed to provide Registered Nurse (RN) coverage for at least 8 hours per day on 5 out of 30 days reviewed, specifically on 1/7/25, 1/21/25, 1/22/25, 1/25/25, and 1/26/25. This lack of RN coverage was confirmed through both schedule review and interviews with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator. The DON acknowledged that there was no RN present in the building on those dates, and the Administrator stated that the facility did not have a policy on sufficient nurse staffing, although the expectation was to have RN coverage for 8 consecutive hours each day. All 43 residents in the facility were potentially affected by this deficiency.
