- No harm, potential for more than minimal, widespreadF727Jun 30, 2025
Based on interviews, the facility did not ensure full time Director of Nursing (DON) coverage. This has the potential to affect all 48 residents. Former DON C resigned effective 06/17/25. The facility did not have a full time DON from 6/17 - 6/30/25. This is evidenced by: On 06/30/25 at 8:15 AM, Surveyors entered the facility and requested to meet with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) A or DON B. Social Worker Assistant (SWA) D stated DON B works part-time Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) E is on vacation. On 06/30/25 at 4:05 PM, Surveyor interviewed NHA A asking about a full-time 40 hour a week DON.

Based on record review and staff interviews, the facility did not ensure Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) received a performance review every 12 months for three of three CNAs reviewed (CNA C, CNA D, CNA P). The facility failed to have a system in place to ensure that performance reviews were being done for any of the facility CNAs. This had the potential to affect all 49 residents residing in the facility. This is evidenced by: On 06/10/25, a sample of CNAs employed by the facility was selected for review for the completion of annual performance reviews. The facility provided the following information: CNA C has been employed at the facility since 12/15/20. An annual performance review could not be located. CNA D has been employed at the facility since 09/2019. […]

- No harm, potential for more than minimal, widespreadF851Jun 11, 2025
Based on interview and record review, the facility did not ensure accurate reporting of the mandatory submission of staffing information based on payroll data to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The facility failed to enter accurate data in their Payroll Based Journal (PBJ) system from 7/1/24 - 3/31/25 which triggered excessively low weekend staffing. This has the potential to affect all 49 residents residing in the facility. This is evidenced by: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Electronic Staffing Data Submission Payroll-Based Journal, Long-term Care Facility Policy Manual, dated June 2022, states in part: Chapter 1: Overview, 1.1 introduction .(U) mandatory submission of staffing information based on payroll data in a uniform format.
