THE FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY. Residents Affected - Many Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure adequate weekend staffing. This finding had the potential to affect all 89 residents residing in the building. The facility census was 89. Findings include: Review of the Staffing Data Report information for the fourth quarter (07/01/24 to 09/30/24) revealed the facility triggered for excessively low weekend staffing. Interview on 04/04/25 at 9:33 A.M. with the Administrator confirmed the facility triggered for excessively low weekend staffing for the fourth quarter on the Staffing Data Report form. The Administrator indicated this staffing issue was fixed when the facility hired new staff for the building. Interview on 04/04/25 at 10:09 A.M. with Regional Human Resources (HR) Director #950 indicated the facility had reported the accurate hours for the Staffing Data Report form for the fourth quarter but the facility had hired additional staff to correct the issue and added 24-hour nursing staff. Interview on 04/04/25 at 10:55 A.M. with the Administrator revealed the facility had adequate staffing but the acuity increased due to the additional residents in the vent unit which triggered the low weekend staffing on the Staffing Data Report for the fourth quarter. The deficient practice was corrected on 01/15/25 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions: • On 07/01/24, the Administrator added 24 additional hours of nursing staff (2 extra nurses, one on nightshift and one on dayshift for 12-hour shifts). • The facility received the Staffing Data Report form in 01/2025. • Page 1 of 2 366459 366459 04/04/2025 Brunswick Pointe Transitional Care 4355 Laurel Road Brunswick, OH 44212
