Failure to Provide Required Daily RN Coverage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a registered nurse (RN) was scheduled and on duty for at least eight consecutive hours a day, seven days a week, as required by regulation and by the facility’s own Nursing Services and Sufficient Staff policy. The CMS-671 form dated 12/16/25 documented that 84 residents resided in the facility at the time of the survey. Review of the December 2025 nursing schedule for the period 12/1/25 through 12/16/25 showed there was no RN coverage on 12/6/25 and 12/13/25, and the facility was unable to provide any documentation that an RN worked on either of those days. During an interview on 12/18/25 at 12:19 PM, the Director of Nurses confirmed that there was no RN coverage on those two Saturdays and acknowledged the requirement to have an RN in the facility for at least eight consecutive hours each day.
