Based upon observation, record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to post nurse staffing information in a prominent location, readily available for review to the public. Additionally, the facility failed to maintain current information pertaining to actual hours worked by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses or nurse aides. Census: 53Findings included: a) Observation Upon initial entrance to the facility on [DATE] at approximately 10:00 AM, the Surveyor looked for the posted nurse staffing information in the lobby, front living room area, and main entrance area where many other signs were posted. The nurse staffing data was not found. The nurse staffing data was only located after asking the Nursing Home Administrator where it was located. The nurse staffing sheet was posted in the hallway near the nursing station. b) Record Review Posted nurse staffing data was reviewed for the following dates:-07/03/25-07/04/25-07/05/25-07/06/25-07/07/25-07/08/25-07/09/25-10/30/25-10/31/25-11/01/25-11/02/25-12/23/25-12/24/25-12/25/25-01/10/26-01/11/26-01/12/26-02/17/26-02/18/26 There were no changes marked to any of the typed data on the 19 posted nurse staffing sheets, thus indicating this was not a fluid document with changes being made to staffing as they occur. On 11/02/25, the posted nurse staffing data did not report any Registered Nurse (RN) hours worked.Upon discussing this finding with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on 03/10/26 at 3:45 PM, the NHA stated she was pretty sure there was a nurse manager on duty that day, and stated we are very careful to ensure we have RN coverage. She stated she would check further and get back with me. On 03/11/26, the NHA presented a punch detail sheet from the facility's time and attendance system where there was an RN on duty on 11/02/25 from midnight until 8:45 AM. This created a discrepancy from the posted nurse staffing sheet, which stated zero (0) hours worked by RN. On 07/06/25, the Hours Per Patient Day (HPPD) was calculated to be 2.15 based upon the total hours worked and the census on the posted nurse staffing data. This finding was reviewed with the NHA on 03/10/26 at 3:45 PM. The NHA stated on 03/11/26 at 9:20 AM, she felt the numbers were wrong on the posted staffing sheet and stated she would pull staff punch time detail reports for the staff who worked. A recalculation of HPPD was performed based upon timecard punches of nursing staff who worked that day. The HPPD was then calculated to be 2.27 based upon a census of 58 and total hours worked of 131.75. This discrepancy meant the total hours worked was inaccurately reported on the posted nurse staffing sheet for 07/06/25. This finding was reviewed again with the NHA on 03/11/26 at approximately 1:15 PM. The NHA nodded her head in agreement when advised a deficiency would be cited for F732.
