Failure to Provide Required Daily RN Coverage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide the services of a Registered Nurse (RN) on duty for at least eight hours each day, as required. Review of the facility’s daily staffing schedules for the period from 1/1/2026 through 2/28/2026 showed that no RN worked at least eight hours on multiple specific dates: 1/4, 1/10, 1/11, 1/17, 1/18, 1/24, 1/25, 1/31, 2/1, 2/7, 2/8, 2/14, 2/15, 2/21, 2/22, and 2/28 of 2026. During an interview on 3/3/2026 at 9:40 AM, the Administrator stated that the facility did not have a staffing policy, that they followed state guidelines, and acknowledged there were days without RN coverage in the building. The facility’s CMS 671 form dated 3/1/2026 documented that 63 residents were residing in the facility at the time of the survey. No additional resident-specific clinical details or medical histories were provided in the report beyond the total census of 63 residents who could be affected by the lack of RN coverage.
