Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in
charge on each shift.
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.
On April 29, 2025, at 4:45 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Staff Development (DSD).
The DSD stated all staff who were hourly employees must clock in and out for lunch breaks, payroll keeps
track of their breaks, and it should be reflected in the payroll sheets. The DSD stated she received a phone
call on April 27, 2025, from a staff member regarding a few Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) taking
extended lunches, during the weekend, and the CNAs thought no one would notice. 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.
On May 1, 2025, a review of the documents, pertaining to CNA schedules and timecards, dated April 15,
2025, April 16, 2025, and April 27, 2025, were conducted.
The documents indicated, on April 15, 2025, the facility census was 93, there were 10 CNAs, and one
Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA) scheduled to work the day shift from 6:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m., nine or
ten residents were assigned to each CNA. Four CNAs covering rooms 15C to 18C, and 53A to 74A,
clocked out for lunch between 10:31 a.m. and 10:38 a.m. and clocked back in from lunch between 11:02
a.m. and 11:09 a.m., with no CNA coverage to the front hallway of the facility for approximately 20 minutes.
Five CNAs covering rooms 10A to 15B, and 74B to 24C clocked out for lunch between 11 a.m. and 11:10
a.m. and clocked back in from lunch between 11:30 a.m. and 11:40 a.m., leaving the back hallway of the
facility without CNA coverage for approximately 20 minutes. The PM shift (2:30 p.m. until 11:00 p.m.) had 8
CNAs scheduled to work, with a census of 92. Three of the CNAs clocked out for lunch between 7:05 p.m.

CNA 3 took his break; the timecard was adjusted by payroll from 7:08 p.m. until 7:43 p.m., and she stated it
was longer than 30 minutes. The DSD stated two to three employees cannot care for 96 residents in a safe
manner, this many CNAs should not have been at lunch at the same time, this is not safe for the residents.
The DSD stated the CNAs should have varied their lunches, to ensure there was adequate coverage for all
the residents in the facility.
