Summary
The facility failed to consistently post the actual scheduled hours worked for nursing staff directly responsible for resident care per shift, as required by their policy. Observations revealed that on one occasion, the Daily Nurse Staffing Report posted was for the previous day, and on another occasion, there was no staffing report posted for part of the day. Interviews with staff confirmed that it was the night shift's responsibility to ensure the current day's staffing report was posted, but this was not done as required. The facility's policy specified that the number of licensed nurses and unlicensed nursing personnel providing direct care should be posted daily for each shift, but this was not consistently followed.
