Summary
The facility failed to provide accurate daily nurse staffing postings, as required. During a review of nurse staff postings over a 50-day period, it was found that on 16 days, the posted staffing numbers were below the minimum required level of 2.25. However, further examination of staff punch forms for those days showed that actual staffing met or exceeded the minimum requirement. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the staff punch forms were correct and that the postings for those 16 days were inaccurate. This discrepancy was identified during a complaint survey, and the facility census at the time was 59.
