Incomplete and Inaccurate Daily Nurse Staffing Postings

Sunset Manor Avera HealthIrene, South Dakota Survey Completed on 12-31-2025

Summary

The provider failed to post the required nursing staffing information each day in a location readily visible to residents, staff, and visitors, and the posted information did not always clearly reflect the actual hours worked by nursing staff. From October 2025 through December 2025, the facility had missing staffing forms on multiple days for The Manor, the TBI unit, and the CBU, and several posted forms did not include RN hours. Surveyors observed on 12/29/25 that The Manor and CBU staffing information was posted on a bulletin board near the nurses' station in The Manor, but the posting included the date of 12/26/25 and census information and had no RN hours documented. On the same day, the TBI unit had no posted nurse staffing hours at all, and on 12/31/25 the posted staffing hours for The Manor and CBU again showed no RN hours for that day. Review of the staffing records showed numerous missing nurse staffing information forms across the three units during the review period. The Manor had no forms on 13 listed days, the TBI unit had no forms on many listed days throughout October, November, and December, and the CBU had no forms on multiple listed days in late October and December. The review also showed no documented RN coverage hours on several dates, and the provider's nurse staff schedules showed RN/MDS coordinator C and RN/ADON FF were scheduled on certain dates but those hours were not represented on the posted staffing forms. On 12/18/25, RN/ADON FF and DON B were scheduled to provide resident care due to an LPN calling in sick, but the posted staffing hours were not updated to reflect that change. Interviews confirmed the staffing postings were not accurate or consistently visible. LPN D stated the TBI staffing form was posted behind a desk in the common area, was to be completed daily, and was not updated when staffing changed during the shift; she also stated the TBI form inaccurately showed the nurse as scheduled on that unit for the entire 12-hour shift even though the nurse split time between the TBI and CBU units. The administrator and DON both stated the forms were supposed to be completed daily, updated for staffing changes, and accurately reflect hours worked, and the DON confirmed that the MDS coordinator and DON hours were submitted in PBJ but were not included on the posted staffing forms. The facility assessment also stated that staffing was evaluated each shift and that there was at minimum one RN/LPN in the facility at all times for 24-hour nursing coverage.
