Summary
The facility failed to notify the State agency in writing of a change in the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) at the time the change occurred. Documentation showed that the Interim NHA assumed responsibility effective 9/5/25, as indicated in the facility's password agreement document. During interviews, the Director of Nursing confirmed that the previous NHA was on leave and that the Interim NHA was acting as administrator. It was also confirmed that the required written notification to the State agency regarding this administrative change was not provided at the time of the change, which did not meet regulatory requirements.
