Inspection Findings
During an interview on 2/12/25 at 1:56 p.m., licensed practical nurse (LPN)-A stated the facility worked short staffed every weekend and at least twice a week Monday through Friday. LPN-A further stated the facility would have staff float (work in a different area) than originally assigned due to staff call-ins or an open shift resulting in resident cares taking longer to complete or longer to answer call lights. LPN-A verified the facility utilized agency staff at times and rarely mandated staff to work. LPN-A confirmed it was exhausting to work short staffed and tough on the residents.
During an interview on 2/12/25 at 3:38 p.m., scheduler stated staffing levels were determined on resident acuity and census.
Scheduler further stated staff would float to other areas of need within the facility if there was a call-in or scheduled short staff instead of mandating staff to cover the open shift.
Scheduler verified the facility utilized supplemental nursing agency staff at times.
Scheduler confirmed the facility had 61 call-ins in the past 30 days and even though 61 call-ins sounded like a lot, that was an average number of call-ins for the facility.

Memory Care first floor;
-Day shift two nursing assistants (NA), one nurse.
-Evening shift two NA's and one nurse.
