Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a registered nurse (RN) was on duty for eight consecutive hours each day, seven days a week, as required. Review of Direct Care Staff Daily Reports for the specified periods revealed that on eight separate days, there was no RN coverage for the required duration on any shift within a 24-hour period. This deficiency was confirmed through both record review and staff interviews, with the staffing coordinator acknowledging the lack of adequate RN coverage on the identified dates. The administrator also confirmed the expectation for appropriate RN staffing to provide necessary care and assessments for residents.
