Observations:
Based on review of facility nursing staffing documents and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide the minimum number of general nursing care hours of 3.20 hours of direct resident care hours per resident in a 24-hour period for 11 of 17 days reviewed (1/16/26, 1/17/26, 1/18/26, 1/19/26, 1/20/26, 1/25/26, 1/26/26, 1/27/26, 1/29/26, 1/31/26, and 2/01/26).
Findings include:

The facility was unable to correct the failure to provide the 3.2 hours of direct care for each resident, in the identified 24-hour periods included in the review period. The Administrator and/or designee will provide education to the staffing coordinator, Staffing Coordinator, Director of Nursing, Assistant Director of Nursing, Case Manager, Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator, Restorative Nurse, Staff Development Coordinator, and charge nurses on the state required minimum staffing of 3.2 hours of Direct Care Per Patient Day of 3.2 hours in each 24-hour period for each resident. A staffing meeting will be conducted after the morning clinical meeting held on Monday through Friday to review deployment sheets and the Pennsylvania Department of Health staffing excel sheet. The current day and upcoming days will be reviewed at each meeting to ensure that the facility meets the required PPD at the projected census level. The Administrator will keep the admission team updated and informed. Attendees will be the Administrator, Scheduler, and Nursing Administration. The Administrator and/or designee will utilize Edinboro Manors recruitment platform as well as Indeed (which is a public hiring/employment website) for job applicants, attend job fairs as able, corporate talent acquisition specialist, employee referral bonus program and tuition reimbursement for recruitment efforts. Charge Nurses will be provided with employee contact listings and will be responsible for calling staff when the required minimum PPD is projected to be unmet. They will be able to offer our hourly call-in pay to help with incentive shift pick-ups. Call offs are to be addressed by these charge nurses to ensure staffing requirements are met. If the facility is consistently unable to meet the regulatory requirements, we will consider holding admissions.
The Administrator and/or designee will review staffing 4 times a week for 2 weeks, 3x weekly for 4 weeks to ensure that the state required staffing minimum of Direct Care Per Patient Day of 3.2 hours in each 24-hour period is met. During this staffing meeting, the previous day as well as the upcoming days will be audited to ensure the required staffing PPD requirements are met and projected to be met. Also, during these audits, call offs will be reviewed to determine if obtaining coverage was effectively attempted. The Staffing Coordinator is responsible for creating the schedules and they will be checked by the Administrator and/or Admin Nurses during the Monday-Friday Morning Meeting and Stand-Down Meeting to ensure they meet the required PPD per census before call offs occur. Projected weekend staffing will be reviewed during the Friday meeting. All audits will be reviewed through the Quality assurance/performance improvement process.
