Failure to Provide Required Daily RN Coverage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the services of a registered nurse (RN) were provided for at least eight consecutive hours per day, seven days a week, as required. Record review of the nursing staff schedules for 3/2/26, 3/3/26, and 3/4/26 showed that no RNs were scheduled to work on those three days. During an interview, the nursing home administrator confirmed that there were no RNs available in the facility on those dates while the director of nursing (DON) was on vacation and stated that the scheduling coordinator was responsible for creating the staffing schedule to ensure RN coverage for at least eight hours each day. No additional information was provided in the report regarding specific residents, their medical conditions, or any clinical events occurring during the period without RN coverage.
