Failure to Accurately and Consistently Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that required daily nurse staffing information was accurately completed and consistently posted for public review. On 08/11/25 at 9:20 AM, a surveyor observed that the Daily Nurse Staffing information posted near the receptionist area was last dated 08/06/25, showing that current staffing data had not been posted for five consecutive days. The posted Daily Nursing Staffing form also lacked unit-specific information, meaning the required details for each unit were not provided. At 11:30 AM the same day, the DON confirmed that accurate and up-to-date daily staffing information is required to be posted each day. A record review of the form posted on 08/11/25 further confirmed it was incorrectly dated 08/06/25 and incomplete, lacking unit-specific data, despite the requirement that such information be available for residents and the public. The Illinois Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program Residents' Rights pamphlet cited in the report notes that facilities must provide services to keep residents’ physical and mental health at their highest practical levels and that the facility must be safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike. These failures had the potential to affect all 161 residents residing in the facility, as the required daily nurse staffing information was neither current nor complete for multiple days, and the posted documentation did not meet the specified content requirements.
