Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to post daily nurse staffing information in a prominent place that was readily accessible to residents and visitors, affecting all 99 residents. On 1/8/26 at 8:32 AM, the receptionist stated that nursing assignments were posted only by the employee time clock, and there was no visible staffing information in the front lobby. Subsequent observations on the same date at multiple times showed no nurse staffing postings on Units 1-South, 1-North, 2-North, 2-South, 3-South, or 3-North. The ADON confirmed that daily nurse staffing assignments were not posted where residents and visitors could see them, and a nurse manager stated that staffing was not posted for visitors, explaining that if a visitor wanted to know who was caring for a resident, the nurse would check paperwork instead. An LPN reported that she kept nursing assignments on paper but did not post them for residents or visitors. The DON acknowledged that the facility had not been posting staffing information and did not have a policy regarding nurse posting, stating they would just follow the regulations. The CMS Form 802 dated 1/6/26 documented that 99 residents were living in the facility.
