Summary

A review of nursing time schedules for a 21-day period revealed that the facility did not meet the required minimum nurse aide (NA) to resident ratio on one occasion. Specifically, on the night shift from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. on December 9, 2025, the facility failed to provide at least one NA for every 15 residents, as mandated by regulation. This deficiency was identified through direct examination of staffing records for the specified period. No additional details regarding the residents' medical history or condition at the time of the deficiency were provided in the report.

Tracking and trends to be submitted to the QAPI committee.
