Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to refer a resident for a Level II Preadmission

Have a registered nurse on duty 8 hours a day; and select a registered nurse to be the director of nurses on
a full time basis.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to have a Registered Nurse (RN) for at least 8
consecutive hours, 7 days a week. This has the potential to affect all 38 residents who reside at this facility.
This past non-compliance occurred between 1/14/23 and 5/20/23.
Findings include:
On 7/20/2023 at 2:00 pm, V6 (Regional Director of Operations) stated that for the following dates in
January 2023 (1/14/23 and 1/28/23), February 2023 (2/25/23), and May 2023 (5/20/23) there was no
Registered Nurse (RN) coverage for those days.
On 7/20/23 at 2:15 pm, V1 (Administrator) stated that the nursing agency RN's had picked up these shifts
to cover the hours and then did not show up for the actual shift. The facility at this time did not have many
RN's on staff and many were working on finishing their schooling. As of July 1, 2023 the facility has only
RN's on staff with the exception of a new hire (Licensed Practical Nurse) as of 7/20/23.
A facility document titled Resident Census and Condition dated 7/20/23 documents there are currently 38
residents living in the facility.
Prior to the survey date, the facility implemented the following actions to correct the deficient practice:
1. The facility currently has 8 full time RN's, and Minimum Data Set Coordinator (MDS) and the Director of
Nursing which are RN's.
2. A Quality Assurance Performance Improvement Meeting was held on 1/26/23 and 4/27/23 to discuss the
reason the facility had days of no RN coverage, which included the low amount of RN's on staff and the
agency staff not showing up for shifts they had signed up for.
It was determined the facility needed to have more RN's on staff.
3. Schedules show since the last date of 5/20/23 without RN coverage, they have not had this issue. The
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN's) on staff have all became RN's with the exception of a new hire providing
more room to schedule a nurse to cover 8 consecutive hours 7 days a week.
