Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure sufficient number of nursing staff was provided to attend to the resident's needs and assure resident safety, when the nursing staff had an extended lunch break with no staff coverage. This failure had the potential to result in several residents to not have their needs met safely nor in a way to promote their rights. Findings: On April 29, 2025, at 10 a.m. an unannounced visit was made to the facility for the investigation of a complaint regarding quality of care and insufficient staffing.

The DSD stated she would assign the lunch breaks for the CNAs with only one CNA to go on lunch break in their assigned area, leaving two CNAs on the floor to cover one another. The DSD stated CNAs do go to lunch together, but two CNAs need to be in each assigned area to care for residents, if one of the CNAs goes late, it could put the remaining lunches behind, and the CNAs need to wait until they come back and then can go on their break. On May 1, 2025, at 11:05 a.m., an email was received from the DSD. The document was reviewed and indicated, Following a comprehensive investigation into the reported incident of April 27, 2025, concerning Certified Nursing Assistants exceeding their allotted 30-minute lunch break. The findings indicated CNA 2 and CNA 3 took extended lunch breaks during the PM shift (2:30 p.m.-11 p.m.) on April 27, 2025.
