time. Usually there's activities.
On 6/8/24 at 1:05 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated, I will talk to the activity director. We are in the process of
revising our activity schedules. Activities should be provided 7 days a week for the residents. On the
weekends, if the activity aides are not working, then they should leave the activities like games, puzzles,
and/or sheets on the table in the dining room for the residents. It's the MOD (Manager on Duty) and nurse's
jobs to administer those activities during the weekend.
On 6/11/24 at 12:40 PM, V11 (Activity Aide) stated, There's supposed to be someone on the weekends to
do the activities. If the activity aides are not working on the weekend, someone is supposed to leave the
activity on the table for the resident. That ain't good if no one didn't leave anything for the residents on
Saturday. They will get bored. They always need something to do.

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 observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to have a Director of Nursing on a
full-time basis. This has the potential to affect all 60 residents who reside in the facility.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
On 6/8/24 at 2:52 PM, V1 (Administrator) submitted a resident roster and facility data sheet that showed 60
residents were in the facility.
On 6/8/24 at 10:49 AM, surveyor asked V5 (RN-Registered Nurse) that if she can let the DON (Director of
Nursing) know that surveyor is in the building. V5 stated, We don't have a DON. It's been some time now.
The administrator is on her way. We used to have an ADON (Assistant Director of Nursing), but she is no
longer with us. Someone from corporate is helping us.
On 6/8/24 at 11:08 AM, V6 (LPN-Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, We don't have a DON here. But we have
a regional lady and we have someone from our sister facility that is helping us.
On 6/11/24 at 9:15 AM, V1 stated, (V13--Former DON--Director of Nursing) resigned on 3/29/24. Then
(V14--2nd Former DON) took over on 3/30/24. (V14) then worked for a couple of weeks. Then we had both
(V3--Regional Director of Clinical) and (V2--Acting DON) cover as DON. (V3) covers for 3 days and (V2)
covers for 2 days. (V2) also covers as DON at our sister facility for 3 days. (V3) was not here last week
because she has something personal going on and had appointments. (V2) was here last Tuesday but was
not here Wednesday to Friday because she was sick.
On 6/11/24 at 9:20 AM, V3 (Regional Director of Clinical) stated, I was just diagnosed with [medical
condition] during the facility's annual survey (5/28-5/31). I try to come here 3 times a week, but I have other
homes that I'm responsible for. (V2) who works in our sister facility also helps out 2 days a week here.
There are times when I couldn't come here because I had doctor appointments. I've been assisting, but
mainly (V2) is the one doing the job as DON. Surveyor asked V3 if the facility was meeting the federal
regulations of having a full time DON. V3 stated, Honestly, not at 100%. We don't have someone here full
time to do the duties of a DON the whole time. We are hiring a DON and ADON (Assistant Director of
Nursing). I believe they will take the position today.
On 6/11/24 at 9:47 AM, V2 (Acting DON) stated, I'm the full time DON at our sister facility. (V3) told me I
have to work 20 hours here as well. I started here approximately May 15, 2024. Intermittently, I would go to
both places. When I came here, we didn't have a structured clinical meeting on what my job duties were to
be. They told me to focus on infection control.
On 6/11/24 at 11:55 AM, telephone interview was done with V12 (Health Department Communicable
Disease Supervisor). V12 stated, (V2) is the DON for two sister facilities. This shouldn't be happening. She
shouldn't be dividing her time. She has to focus on infection control and the outbreaks at this facility.
On 6/11/24 at 12:12 PM, V2 (Acting DON) stated, When I do my required 2 days a week here, I work 10
hours a day. This morning, I stopped the by the sister facility for a few hours and now I'm here. I don't have a
ADON (Assitant Director of Nursing) here to help me. I know some changes had to happen
