Avir at New Braunfels: Missing Staffing Info - TX
The nursing home failed to update its federally mandated staffing board for 13 of 15 days between December 17 and December 29, inspectors found during a complaint investigation. The outdated posting showed staffing levels from December 16, leaving residents, families and visitors without current information about nurse-to-patient ratios.
The breakdown started when the staff coordinator responsible for the daily updates resigned suddenly. Her replacement assumed someone else was handling the task.
"She stated she was learning the job responsibilities and procedures day by day, which was resulting in some trial and error," inspectors wrote about the new coordinator. The employee said she had just learned about the posting requirement and thought another staff member was covering it.
Assistant Director of Nursing B told inspectors the new coordinator was "unsure if the SC had been taught the process of creating and updating the nurse staffing and census posting." The facility's wound care nurse had been helping with scheduling but wasn't involved in the daily postings.
Nobody seemed to know the procedure. The registered nurse consultant said the facility didn't even have a policy for the daily staffing board, despite it being a state regulation.
Administrator dismissed the violation's impact, telling inspectors he had "never had a resident or facility guest request to view the posting, only surveyors, and therefore did not feel it impacted anything other than meeting the requirement."
The nursing home's leadership suggested families could simply ask staff about staffing levels or review the schedule book. But federal law requires the daily posting specifically so families can independently verify how many nurses are working each shift without having to ask permission or hunt down staff members.
The violation affected all residents during the two-week period when families were kept in the dark about staffing levels.
