Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Registered Nurse (RN) was on duty for at least eight consecutive hours per day for two out of fourteen days reviewed. This deficiency was identified through a review of the Nurse Staffing Reports for the weeks of 09/28/25 through 10/11/2025, which showed that there was no RN coverage for all shifts on 09/28/25 and 10/06/2025. The facility's own staffing policy, updated in October 2017, requires sufficient numbers of staff, including licensed nurses, to be available 24 hours a day to provide direct resident care services. The surveyor confirmed these findings through interviews and document review.
