Summary
The facility failed to provide the required 8 consecutive hours of registered nurse (RN) coverage per day, seven days a week, for 13 out of 104 days during the months of July, August, September, and part of October 2025. Record review of timesheets revealed that on specific weekend dates, there was insufficient RN coverage. The Administrator confirmed in an interview that the facility did not have 8 hours of RN coverage on these identified days. The Director of Nursing (DON) stated in an interview that while the facility policy requires an RN to be onsite for 8 hours daily, they were not always able to schedule RNs for weekend shifts, despite their efforts. Facility policy review confirmed the requirement for daily RN coverage.
