Summary
The facility failed to post its updated daily nurse staffing information as required. During an inspection, the Direct Care Report form displayed across from the nurse's station was found to be dated three days prior to the inspection date, indicating it had not been updated daily. Interviews with a licensed nurse and an administrative nurse confirmed that nursing staff and the charge nurse were responsible for updating and posting the staffing form each day. A review of the facility's staffing policy indicated that staffing hours must be maintained and made available upon request, but the daily posting requirement was not met at the time of the survey.
