Federal inspectors found the facility's Direct Care Daily Staffing Numbers still showed November 11 when they arrived at 8:51 AM on November 12. The outdated postings hung in two locations — on a pony wall by the front entrance and on a wall near the Director of Nursing's office.
The Administrator told inspectors that failure to update the posting on time "could cause family members confusion of who was giving care that day." Federal regulations require facilities to post current staffing information within two hours of each shift to help families, visitors, vendors and emergency personnel understand who's working.
At Legend Oaks, most registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses and some certified nursing assistants work 12-hour shifts from 6 AM to 6 PM or 6 PM to 6 AM. The posting should have been updated by 8 AM.
Instead, inspectors watched the Staffing Coordinator remove the old posting from the wall at 9:08 AM — more than three hours after the morning shift began and nearly an hour after federal regulations required current information to be displayed.
The Staffing Coordinator, who creates schedules for the nursing department and fills in as a nursing assistant when needed, said she typically works from 8:15 AM to 5:15 PM. She's expected to update the posting within two hours of starting her shift.
But on November 12, she said, "she was helping residents on the floor which caused her update of the posting to be delayed."
The Staffing Coordinator acknowledged that failure to update the posting on time means "residents and visitors to the building not knowing the facility census or the staffing available for the day." She told inspectors she had never received training about federal regulations governing the timing of these postings.
The required postings must include the facility name, date, current census and the types and total number of scheduled direct care staff. At Legend Oaks, this includes nursing managers and the Director of Nursing who work 9 AM to 5 PM, overnight CNAs working 10 PM to 6 AM, and certified medication assistants covering 6 AM to 2 PM and 2 PM to 10 PM shifts.
Federal inspectors noted the violation could affect "residents, facility visitors, vendors, and emergency personnel by placing them at risk of not having access to information regarding daily nursing staffing in a timely manner."
The Administrator confirmed that the Staffing Coordinator was responsible for the daily postings and said the facility operates on 12-hour nursing shifts. He said postings should be visible "somewhere within 2 hours of the first shift" and "before each shift."
The inspection found that many residents were affected by the facility's failure to maintain current staffing information in publicly accessible locations.
