Optalis Health and Rehabilitation of Grand Rapids failed to post current staffing hours for multiple days during a December inspection, instead displaying outdated information behind the facility's main entrance.

Optalis Health and Rehabilitation of Grand Rapids facility inspection

On December 22, inspectors found staffing hours dated December 9 posted on a bulletin board in a glass case. Later that same day, staff had updated the posting to December 22 data, but then failed to change it again for the remainder of the week.

By December 29, the facility was still displaying December 22 staffing information during three separate inspector visits throughout the day.

Scheduler K, who had just taken over staffing coordination duties that morning, told inspectors she knew posting daily hours was part of her responsibilities. She acknowledged the hours weren't being updated regularly and admitted she hadn't posted current day staffing information.

Administrator A initially defended the facility's compliance, escorting an inspector to the bulletin board and gesturing to papers taped to the glass while stating "staffing hours are posted here." The administrator explained that the key to the glass enclosure was missing, forcing staff to tape postings to the front.

After reading the displayed information, Administrator A realized the data was outdated and stated "I will get the updated one right now" while removing the old papers.

Later that afternoon, inspectors observed the administrator unlocking the glass case, removing old staffing postings from inside the bulletin board, and giving verbal instructions to Scheduler K about proper posting procedures.

Federal regulations require nursing homes to post current daily staffing hours in prominent locations accessible to residents, staff and visitors to help families make informed decisions about care quality.
