Failure to Provide Required RN Coverage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide 8 consecutive hours of Registered Nurse (RN) coverage each day, as required, for all 37 residents. Review of the November and December 2025 nurse schedules showed that there were multiple days in both months when no RN was present for the required 8 consecutive hours. Specifically, there was no RN coverage for 8 consecutive hours on several dates in November and on two dates in December. The Assistant Director of Nursing, who was the only full-time RN employed at the facility, confirmed that she worked Monday through Friday for 8 consecutive hours but that there was not always RN coverage on weekends. The Director of Nursing had been on medical leave since early November, and the facility did not have a staffing policy in place, instead stating that they followed regulations.
