services to assure resident safety and attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and
psychosocial well-being, as determined by resident assessments and individual plans of care and
considering the number, acuity and diagnoses of the facility's resident population in accordance with the
facility's assessment tool for 3 of 7 residents (Residents #1, #2 and #4) reviewed for sufficient staff. The
facility failed to have adequate staff to provide appropriate care to residents, resulting in Resident #1 sitting
in a urine-soaked brief during the 2pm-10pm on 10/11/25, Resident #2 staying in bed against his
preferences on 10/25/25 during the 6am-2pm and 2pm-10pm shift, and Resident #4 experiencing long
waiting times after pushing their call light when they need assistance with incontinent care. This failure
could place residents at risk of skin breakdown, loss of independence and decreased quality of life.

deficit related to impaired balance. The goal was for the resident to improve her current level of function
through the review date. Interventions included, Requires 1 person assist with mobility.the resident requires
assistance by 1 staff for toileting. Further record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 10/26/21 revealed

hemiparesis following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage affecting left non-dominant side and cirrhosis
of liver (a chronic condition where healthy liver tissues is replaced by scar tissue, leading to impaired liver
function). He was [AGE] years old. Record review of Resident #4's quarterly MDS assessment dated
[DATE] revealed he had a BIMS of 14, indicating no cognitive impairment. He was frequently incontinent of
urine and bowel, was dependent on staff for transfers and required substantial/maximal assistance with
toileting hygiene. In an interview on 10/16/25 at 11:55am, Resident #4 said during the evening shift, the
staff were lazy. He said they waited more than 2 hours for assistance and had to be wet and nasty until they
come help with incontinent care. He said took his brief off and threw it on the floor so he his skin did not
break down. In an interview on 10/28/25 at 9:44pm, RN B said the staffing ratios for the facility could be
better. She said they used to schedule 3 nurses each shift, but now they scheduled 2 nurses with 4 CNAs.
She said they met the residents' needs, but said the residents deserved more attention. Record review of a
Resident Council Department Recommendation/Concern dated 10/3/2025 and signed by the ADON,
revealed the residents voiced a concern about the night shift staff only changing residents one time right
before shift change, and noted sometimes they did not see the CNAs. The ‘Department Response' section
stated observations of night shift were conducted and staff were observed making rounds and answering
call lights. The ‘Resolution' section stated, staff were reminded of the importance of maintaining skin
integrity by ensuring (every 2 hour) rounds for peri-care, turning and repositioning. In an interview on
10/29/25 at 3:52pm, the Administrator said they used the facility's PPD and census to create the facility's
nursing staff schedule. He said he made sure the ratio of CNAs to residents was 1:15. He said if they took
into account the higher functioning residents then it was feasible. He said according to the facility's star
rating, they had more staff than the national average. He said when they received a grievance from resident
council, he visited the facility at night a few times to observe. He said he did not observe any issues with the
care being provided. In an interview on 10/29/25 at 4:42pm, the ADON said the facility had a weekly
scheduling meeting to create the schedule. She said they used the facility census and PPD (a metric used
to analyze costs and staffing) to determine how many staff to schedule. She said she attended the weekly
scheduling meeting with the CNA Coordinator and DON. She said they did not have a DON at that time.
She said she was not sure if the facility looked at resident's acuity when creating the schedule, but that it
could be important to look at. In a telephone interview on 10/29/25 at 5:15pm, the CNA Coordinator said
they had a weekly scheduling meeting to create the schedule. She said they used the facility census and
PPD to determine how many staff to schedule. She said she used what she knew about the residents,
including how many brief changes each resident required throughout the day, to create the staff
assignments. Record review of the facility assessment, dated 4/30/25, revealed it did not include
information regarding the level of staff needed to meet the needs of each resident. Record review of the
facility policy for Sufficient and Competent Nursing dated August 2022 read in part, Our facility provides
sufficient numbers of nursing staff with the appropriate skills and competency necessary to providing
nursing and related care and services for all residents in accordance with resident care plans and the
facility assessment.staffing numbers and the skill requirements of direct care staff are determined by the
needs of the residents based on each resident's plan of care, the resident assessments and the facility
assessment.
