LN A medications were administered up to one hour late to the residents because of the staffing shortage. LN A stated this was a result of the high number of resident assignments per nurse. During an interview on 4/10/25 at 1:02 p.m., LN B stated the facility was extremely short-staffed for LNs after approximately eight LNs had resigned simultaneously in January of 2025 when management decided to switch from twelve-hour shifts to eight-hour shifts. LN B stated since the change, a typical assignment ranged from 28 to 34 residents during morning shift per LN. LN B stated this made it impossible to administer all the resident medications timely. LN B stated management assigned only three nurses on the floor to provide direct resident care for a census of around 90 residents. During an interview on 4/10/25 at 1:30 p.m., Resident 2 stated medications were often administered late.

The DON also reviewed the staffing sheets from February 23, 2025 through March 2, 2025, and April 3, 2025, through April 7, 2025, and confirmed the facility [AD8] had not met the State staffing requirements.
