Failure to Post Current Nurse Staffing Sheets Daily
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that nurse staffing sheets were posted for the correct day as required, with observations over a five-day period revealing that the posted sheets at the front door were consistently dated for previous days rather than the current day. On multiple occasions, the posted staffing sheets did not reflect the current date, and in one instance, a staffing sheet was posted in a hallway without residents. Interviews with the DON and Scheduler Coordinator confirmed that the first shift begins at 6:00 A.M., but staffing sheets were not posted until 8:00 A.M. and were not posted at all on weekends. The facility's own policy, provided by the DON, requires daily posting of nursing staff at the beginning of each shift, which was not followed during the survey period.
