| | Plan of Correction - To be completed: 09/17/2024
The facility cannot retroactively correct past Nursing aide ratios. The facility will continue to take measures to adequately provide nurse-aid staff to ensure the needs of the residents are met. Measures will be put in place to adequately provide staff with the required nurse aide to resident ratios. These measures include, continuing our retention committee, increased advertising efforts, utilization of agency staff, and sign on bonuses. The Director of Nursing/designee will educate minimum staffing ratios to RN Supervisors, HR, and the nursing scheduler who are responsible to maintain adequate staffing ratios. The Director of Nursing/designee will audit the daily schedules 5x week x 6 weeks to ensure that the minimum number of nurse aide staff to resident ratios have been scheduled. The results of the audits will be reviewed at the facilities QAPI meeting for recommendations.
