Residents Affected - Some The facility failed to ensure the daily staffing information was posted per shift and in a prominent place on two (07/15/2024 and 07/16/2024) of three days observed. This failure could place all residents, their families, and facility visitors at risk of not having access to information regarding staffing data.
Findings included: Observation on 07/15/2024 at 05:43 p.m., revealed a document labeled [facility name] dated 07/15/2024, was posted on a wall after the facility entry and prior to entering the resident living spaces.
