Federal inspectors found Optalis Health and Rehabilitation of Grand Rapids failed to post current daily staffing hours in late December, leaving visitors with outdated information about nurse coverage.
On December 22, inspectors observed staffing hours dated December 9 posted on a bulletin board behind the main entrance. Later that day, staff had taped December 22 information to the glass case covering the board.
But the December 22 posting remained unchanged for a week. Inspectors found the same outdated information still displayed on December 23 and again during three separate visits on December 29.
Scheduler K, who had just taken over staffing coordinator duties that morning, acknowledged the failure. She told inspectors "the hours did not get posted on a regular basis like they should" and admitted she hadn't yet posted current staffing information.
Administrator A escorted inspectors to the bulletin board and gestured to two pieces of paper taped to the glass case. The administrator explained the key to the locked enclosure was missing, forcing staff to tape postings to the outside of the glass.
Administrator A read the outdated postings, removed them, and promised to "get the updated one right now."
By 3:22 PM that afternoon, Administrator A had located the missing key. Inspectors watched her unlock the glass case, remove old staffing postings from inside the bulletin board, and give verbal instructions to Scheduler K about properly posting daily staffing hours.
Federal regulations require nursing homes to post current staffing information daily in prominent locations accessible to residents, staff, and visitors. The information helps families understand nurse coverage levels when making care decisions.
