Failure to Provide Required Daily RN Coverage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a registered nurse (RN) was on duty for at least eight consecutive hours a day, seven days a week, as required, potentially affecting all 107 residents. Review of staffing schedules and staff timecard punches for the period 12/25/25 through 12/31/25 showed that no RN worked in the facility on 12/25/25 and 12/31/25, despite census data indicating that 97 residents were in the facility on each of those days. During an interview on 02/24/26 at 3:18 P.M., the DON confirmed there was no RN coverage on those two dates and stated she was the only RN in the building on those days. This deficiency was investigated under Complaint Numbers 2671148 and 2603969. The deficiency centers on the absence of required RN coverage on specific days, as evidenced by staffing records, timecard punches, and census data, and confirmed by the DON’s interview, in the context of a facility census of 107 residents overall and 97 residents present on the days without RN coverage.
