SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
During an interview, on [DATE] at 8:55 a.m., the Administrator indicated the daily staffing calls were with their corporate office.
They discuss the census and the staffing numbers.
Corporate would suggest that they may require more staff, so they would advertise and offer different incentives.
The QAPI had begun performing staffing audits after she started her position as the Administrator.
During an interview, on [DATE] at 10:40 a.m., Resident N indicated the same nurse aide usually worked the unit on night shift.
When Resident N requested Tylenol, the nurse aide had to let the nurse know so it could be administered.
Resident N had to wait a long time sometimes to get the Tylenol after she requested it.
She heard the staff say there was only one nurse covering three units, but she was not sure.
She knew they did not have very many staff who worked the night shift, and it was not enough.
Resident N indicated she turned her call light on this morning before 6:00 a.m. to request Tylenol, and it took the nurse aide approximately half an hour to answer the call light.
The nurse aide told the resident she would let the nurse know she wanted Tylenol.
The nurse gave her the Tylenol at 7:00 a.m. with her other morning medications.
She thought this type of thing happened because they did not have enough staff and could not get to the residents more quickly.
During an interview, on [DATE] at 10:55 a.m., Resident P indicated it took a long time for him to get his pain medication. He had to request medication and waited as long as nine hours after his request until he received it.
There was no nurse specifically assigned to his unit, so he had to wait for one to come to the unit and give him the pain medication after he asked for it.
During an interview, on 10/9/
