Based on interview and record review, it has been confirmed that the facility failed to have sufficient staff to meet the scheduled and unscheduled needs of residents. Findings include:
During an unannounced site visit on 08/01/2022; the Compliance Specialist (CS) interviewed Staff #1, Staff #2, Staff #4 and Resident #1-Resident #3, separately. It was stated that in July staffing was a concern. It was stated that there were multiple call outs due to staff illness, which resulted in short staffing and missed needs.
CS reviewed Service plans for Resident #1-Resident #3, Staff Schedules for July and August 2022, Acuity Based Staffing Tool and call light logs from 07/05/2022-07/08/2022; which revealed multiple dates where the facility was not staffed to their posted staffing plan. CS revealed 42 instances from 07/05/2022-07/08/2022 where call light response times exceeded 15 minutes, with multiple instances with 30 plus minute wait times.
The above information was shared with Staff #1 on 08/01/2022 who was in agreement.
