Summary
The facility failed to have a registered nurse (RN) on duty for at least 8 hours each day and did not designate a registered nurse to serve as the director of nursing (DON) on a full-time basis. This deficiency was identified through review of staffing schedules and facility records, which showed non-compliance with the required RN coverage and DON assignment.
