Insufficient RN Coverage for Required 8-Hour Minimum
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure an RN was on duty for at least eight consecutive hours in a 24-hour period as required. During review of the facility’s Daily Staffing sheets and licensed nurse timesheets, the surveyor identified that on August 10, 2025, the facility had only three hours of RN coverage in the entire 24-hour period. On April 14, 2026, at 3:36 PM, the Director of Clinical Resources confirmed that an RN had not worked for at least eight hours on that date and acknowledged that an RN should have been on duty for that minimum period. This deficiency had the potential to affect all residents residing in the facility by leaving routine and/or emergency nursing services potentially unmet.
