Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Registered Nurse (RN) was on duty for eight hours daily, as required. Review of staff schedules and timesheets for May 2015 showed there was no RN coverage on one specific day. This was confirmed during an interview with Regional Clinical Support, who acknowledged the absence of documentation indicating an RN worked in the facility on that day. This deficiency affected all 68 residents in the facility, as there was no RN present to provide required nursing oversight and care during the identified period.
