Summary
The facility failed to have a Registered Nurse (RN) on duty for 24 hours a day over a period of seven consecutive days, as evidenced by staff interviews and review of the PBJ Staffing Data Report. The report identified specific dates on which there were no RNs present for the full 24-hour period, including multiple Saturdays, Sundays, and a holiday. The Administrator confirmed during an interview that there was no RN coverage on these dates, citing an inability to secure RN staff for weekends and holidays, either from facility staff or agency sources. Additionally, review of two weeks of staffing schedules showed a consistent lack of RN coverage on weekends.
