| | Plan of Correction - To be completed: 05/13/2025
1. The facility cannot correct that the State required PPD (per patient daily) minimum was not met on 4/3/25, 4/4/25, 4/5/25, 4/6/25, 4/7/25. There were no adverse resident effects on identified dates. 2. The facility Director of Nursing, scheduler and nursing supervisors will be re-educated regarding the State required PPD (per patient daily) minimum by the Nursing Home Administrator/designee. 3. Twice daily meetings will be held Monday through Friday to review schedule with State required PPD (per patient daily) minimum. Nursing supervisors will monitor on weekends. If the facility is projected to not meet the State required PPD (per patient daily) minimum the scheduler/or designee will call off duty facility staff, and will utilize pick-up bonuses. 4. All nursing positions are actively posted in recruitment. 5. The facility has developed a Retention committee. 6. Nursing Home Administrator/designee will audit staffing daily for three weeks and monthly for three months to ensure the State required PPD (per patient daily) minimum is being met. 7. Outcomes will be reported to the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement Committee for review and recommendations.
