Summary
The facility failed to maintain the services of a registered nurse (RN) for at least eight consecutive hours a day, seven days a week, as required by regulations. Review of nursing staff schedules and information revealed that no RNs were present and working in the facility on two specific days. This was confirmed during an interview with the Human Resources Director, who verified the absence of an RN on those dates. The deficiency was identified during the investigation of three separate complaints and had the potential to affect all 87 residents in the facility at the time.
