Summary
The facility failed to provide sufficient Registered Nurse (RN) coverage, as required, on nine out of forty-four days reviewed. According to the Facility Nursing Daily Schedule, there were zero RN hours scheduled for entire 24-hour periods on specific dates, which was confirmed by both the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Regional Director of Operations. The facility's records indicated that 61 residents were present during this time, and the lack of RN coverage had the potential to affect all residents. The deficiency was identified through interview and record review, with the facility's own documentation confirming the absence of required RN staffing on the noted days.
