Failure to Provide Required RN Coverage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure Registered Nurse (RN) coverage for at least eight consecutive hours a day, seven days a week, as required. Review of the facility's daily assignment sheets showed that there was no RN coverage on December 25, 2025. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the RN scheduled for that day called off and the Director did not come in to cover the shift. The facility assessment indicated that staffing would be based on resident needs and required guidelines, and the room roster documented that 50 residents were residing in the facility at the time of the deficiency. This lapse in RN coverage was confirmed through interview and record review, and it was acknowledged by the Director of Nursing that the required RN presence was not maintained for the specified period.
