F 0727 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many 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 ensure a Registered Nurse was on duty in the facility for a minimum of eight consecutive hours a day, seven days a week, for 6 of 26 weekend days (11/01/2025, 11/02/2025, 11/15/2025, 11/16/2025, 11/29/2025, 11/30/2025) reviewed for RN coverage. The facility failed to have RN coverage on the following dates in 2025:- 11/01/2025, 11/02/2025, 11/15/2025, 11/16/2025, 11/29/2025, 11/30/2025 This failure could place residents at risk of not having their nursing and medical needs met, and other direct care staff not receiving sufficient oversight.Findings included: Review of an undated excel file, covering the RN time stamp hours for weekend dates of the first fiscal quarter of 2026 reflected insufficient RN coverage on the following dates of 2025. - 11/01/2025, 11/02/2025, 11/15/2025, 11/16/2025, 11/29/2025, 11/30/2025During an interview on 1/08/2026 at 2:56 PM, the DON revealed she was responsible for RN weekend schedules. She said RNs were scheduled to work 6:00 PM 6:00 AM during the weekends and the RNs would take a break from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM and return for the next 6:00 PM - 6:00 AM shift (providing 6 hours of coverage in the morning and 6 hours of coverage in the evening). The DON had thought the facility just needed at least 8 hours of coverage during weekend days, not 8 consecutive hours. During an interview on 1/08/2026 at 3:20 PM with the ADM revealed he understood the RN weekend day scheduled as RNs were scheduled from 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM, because that was the schedule for weekdays. He stated the risk of not having an RN in the facility for 8 consecutive hours was not having staff present with the clinical expertise of an RNs and knowledge to make decisions for (a resident's) life. The facility did not have a policy regarding nurse staffing.
