What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0725 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many 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 interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to follow its staffing policy by not having four nurses working on the overnight shift on 12/31/24. There was no nurse present in this facility from 2:00AM until 6:04AM on 1/1/25. This failure resulted in 4 residents (R8, R9, R10, and R16) not receiving 6:00AM scheduled medications until more than one hour later or not at all; 5 diabetic residents (R7, R11, R13, R14, and R15) not having 6:00AM blood sugar level checked, and insulin administered; none of the residents received scheduled assessments and/or vital sign monitoring on the night shift. This failure has the potential to affect all 155 residents residing in this facility. Findings include: On 01.15.2025 the facaility roster indicated there were 155 residents residing in the facility. On 1/15/25 at 1:30PM, V4 LPN (licensed practical nurse) stated that she worked day shift on 1/1/25 on C wing.

V4 stated that is the reason she noted done on previous shift for each overdue medication and assessment. 1/15/25 at 3:05PM, V6 LPN (licensed practical nurse) stated that V6 works the evening shift at this facility. V6 stated that on 12/31/24 V6 was asked to stay until 2:00AM. V6 stated that from 11:00PM until 2:00AM, V6 did not document in any resident's chart, V6 just walked from unit to unit rounding on residents.

On 1/17/25 at 9:50AM, V15 LPN stated that worked 12/31/24 evening shift. V15 stated that there was a nurse in the building when she left. On 1/17/25 at 11:00AM, V2 DON stated that V2 was notified at 5:00AM on 1/1/25 that there was no nurse present and V2 came in and was present in facility at 5:30AM.
