Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Registered Nurse (RN) was on duty for at least eight consecutive hours, seven days a week, as required. Review of the Payroll Based Journal (PBJ) and RN schedules for the months of October, November, and December 2024 showed multiple days each month with no RN coverage in the nursing home. Specifically, there were four days in both October and December, and five days in November, when no RN was present. Staff interviews confirmed that the facility did not always have an RN scheduled to provide care and that, on some occasions, the RN working in the assisted living area was counted as coverage for the nursing home. The facility census during this period was 30 residents.
