Failure to Maintain Required Daily RN Coverage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide the required 8 hours of RN coverage per day on two days within a 30‑day staffing review period. Review of daily nurse staffing postings for 8/10/25 through 9/10/25 showed that no RN was scheduled for at least 8 hours on 8/30/25 and 8/31/25. During interview, the DON reported there was no RN coverage in the facility on those two days because the scheduled weekend RN called out, and the DON was not notified of the call‑outs at the time. The DON stated she did not learn that the facility had no RN coverage on those dates until the following Monday morning and acknowledged awareness of the requirement for 8 hours of RN coverage each day, as well as an expectation to be notified when an RN calls out. In a separate interview, the Administrator stated he expected the facility to have RN coverage 8 hours a day, 7 days a week. No specific residents, medical histories, or clinical conditions were mentioned in the report in relation to this deficiency.
