| | Plan of Correction - To be completed: 01/07/2026
Regional Director of Clinical Services will educate the facility NHA, DON and scheduler on the total number hours of general nursing care provided in each 24-hour period and the minimum number of 3.2 hours of direct care for each resident. Facility Administration will ensure the total number of hours of general nursing care provided for each 24-hour period when totaled will be a minimum of 3.2 hours of direct resident care for each resident. The facility staffing schedule was reviewed to ensure that it provided the necessary coverage per regulation of general nursing care. To prevent this from happening again the NHA, DON and scheduler will meet five times a week to ensure the general nursing care hours are maintained and discuss offering pick up bonuses, utilizing agency staff in the facility, weekly new hire orientations and reviewing wages to ensure we are competitive with other facilities. To monitor and maintain ongoing compliance the DON or designee will audit staffing weekly x4 weeks then monthly for two months. Results will be taken to QAPI for review and revision as needed.
