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 provide sufficient nursing coverage on specific
days and shifts ensuring adequate resident care and assistance for four (R6, R7, R10 and R11) of four
residents reviewed for staffing. This deficiency also has the potential to affect all the 95 residents currently
residing in the facility.
Findings include:
Per residents' census report dated 07/22/24, there are 95 residents currently residing in the facility.
On 07/22/24 at 11:05 AM, R6 was observed in bed, alert, oriented with ongoing oxygen treatment at 3 liters
per minute via nasal cannula. R6 stated during interview that her incontinence brief is not changed when
soiled in a timely manner. R6 also verbalized a concern regarding staffing problem in the facility that she
needs to wait to get changed. On 07/23/24 at 9:40 AM, incontinence care observation was conducted on
R6 showing that her brief was fully soaked with urine, with moderate amount of soft bowel movement.
Incontinence pad was also wet with urine. The flat sheet covering her mattress was wet with urine which
extended to her mid upper back. R6 stated, I was last changed like before sleeping last night. This would be
the first time that I will get changed this morning. There's stool in there now. I have been calling since 6:30
AM but no one came.
On 07/23/24 at 10:20 AM, incontinence care was observed on R11. R11 verbalized, it was changed last
night. This would be the first time it would be changed this morning. Afternoon shift don't change my brief. It
was observed that her brief was fully soaked with urine, along with the incontinence pad underneath her
lower back. She also had a small amount of stool in her brief. R7 and R10's incontinent briefs were also
observed saturated with urine; their incontinent pads were also wet. R10 stated that his brief was last
changed at 2 in the morning.
In a review of facility's staff schedule and time sheets dated 07/22/24, there were only 3 CNAs (Certified
Nurse Assistants, CNA) who worked during night shift. V13, (CNA) was the only CNA who worked in Unit 1
with census of 43. Unit 1 is where R6, R7, R10 and R11 reside.
On 07/22/24 at 12:07 PM, V12 (Staffing Coordinator) was interviewed regarding staffing. V12 responded,
We only have one floor. We have two units. The 100 unit and the 200 unit are both long-term care units
mixed with short term rehab/memory and skilled. Both units require two nurses each on morning (AM shift,
6 AM to 2 PM) and afternoon (PM shift, 2 PM to 10 PM) shifts. Night shift (10 PM to 6 AM) should have 3
nurses - one on each unit and the other nurse does both units. For CNAs - morning and afternoon shifts
should have 7 CNAs: 3 in Unit 1 and 4 in Unit 2. CNAs during night shift require two in Unit 1 and two in
Unit 2. For call - ins, I find replacement by calling other CNAs. If I can't find any, I will call agency staff.
Further review of facility's staff time sheets and unit assignments revealed the following:
There were only two nurses during night shift on 05/18/24; 06/23/24; 07/13/24. Three nurses on morning
shift on 06/01/24, 06/02/24, 06/08/24, 06/09/24. Three nurses working on afternoon shift on 06/16/24,
06/22/24, 07/07/24 and 07/14/24. Five CNAs on morning shift on 06/16/24; 06/30/24, 07/20/24 and
07/21/24. Five CNAs on afternoon shift on 07/07/24. Six CNAs during morning shift on 06/09/24 and

07/14/24. Six CNAs during afternoon shift on 06/09/24, 07/14/24 and 07/20/24. Three CNAs worked during
night shift on 07/13/24.
On 07/24/24 at 2:56 PM, V1 (Acting Administrator) was interviewed regarding facility staffing. V1 stated, We
make sure we have enough staff. We have a scheduler, and the DON (Director of Nursing) takes care of it.
We offer bonuses when they picked up shifts. We petition nurses, too. We discuss staffing daily; the problem
is people calling off. If they call off and if they give us enough time, we can get a replacement. But if they
call off 10 minutes before shift starts, it is hard to get one.
There was no policy presented by facility regarding staffing, as requested.
