Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 8 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0732 Post nurse staffing information every day. Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Based on record review, interview and policy review, the facility failed to ensure the posted staffing document included the total number and the actual hours worked for each discipline and failed to ensure the staffing document reflected any staff absences due to call-offs or illness. This had the potential to affect all residents residing in the facility. Residents Affected - Many Findings include: The facility's document titled Report of Nursing Staff Directly Responsible for Resident Care, for the time frame from 05/13/2024 through 06/13/2024, used by the facility to post the daily staffing, did not reflect the actual hours worked for each discipline nor did it reflect any staff absences or changes due to call-outs or illness. The Report of Nursing Staff Directly Responsible for Resident Care document did not include any RN hours for 05/31/2024 and 06/10/2024. A document titled, Daily Coverage Report, for 05/31/2024 and 06/10/20024 revealed there was RN coverage that was not reflected on the facility's Report of Nursing Staff Directly Responsible for Resident Care forms for 05/31/2024 and 06/10/2024. During an interview on 06/14/2024 at 12:55 PM, the Scheduler stated she had been told to include how many nurses, RNs, LPNs, and state tested nurse aides (STNAs) that were working on the form. She said no one told her she needed to include the total number of actual hours worked on the form. The Scheduler stated she only updated the form at the beginning of the day when she completed it and did not make any changes to the posted forms to reflect any call-ins. During an interview on 06/14/2024 at 3:30 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she thought the staff postings in the lobby only had to include the number of RNs, LPNs, and STNAs for the day, but she did not know the actual hours worked also needed to be posted. The DON said she was unaware the numbers needed to be updated per shift; she thought it was just at the beginning of the day. The DON stated she expected the information to be posted accurately. During an interview on 06/14/2024 at 1:05 PM, the Administrator stated the forms should include the census, the number of staff from each discipline, the DON, and the Administrator on the top as well as the total census. The Administrator said the form should be updated with each shift if they had any call ins, however, she was unaware it needed to include the total number and actual hours worked per shift for each discipline. Review of the policy titled Staffing & Scheduling, last reviewed on 06/08/22, revealed, Facility will follow CMS [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] Staffing requirements, maintain staffing schedule, and posting of staffing. 1.
