months and the child felt that despite being reassured their concerns were addressed, nothing had changed significantly. They had been told the resident would be bathed twice weekly and that lasted about 2 weeks and now the resident had not had a bath for 2 weeks. During an interview on 9/29/25 at 1:10 PM, Resident 5 confirmed having had complained to administrative staff multiple times about being short staffed especially when there are only 2 Nurse Aides (NA's) in the building. This often happened during the day and evening time, and more so on the weekends. Resident 5 reported sometimes having to wait 20 or 30 minutes for help after having activated the call light and was unhappy about the response time to calls for assistance. This forced decisions to get up unassisted in which the resident felt unsafe, however didn't want to be incontinent. In addition, the resident desired 2 baths weekly, however rarely got 2 baths and sometimes went 2 weeks between baths. The resident felt they were not receiving the services paid for. In addition, the resident reported the NA's work very hard and are always kind and caring but having to cover 4 halls with 2 persons is just not enough help and when the resident complained to administration, the administration insisted they did have enough help. Resident 5 felt that had been going on since being admitted to the facility last spring. During an interview on 9/29/25 at 2:30 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed on all days of the week with the current census of 35, Nurse Aide hours include 3 Nurse Aides (NA's) during day shift (plus an additional NA to provide bathing up to 5 days a week up to 8 hours a day), 2.5 Nurse Aides on the evening shift, and 2 Nurse Aides on the night shift. This would be a total of 60 (+8 hour Bath Aide) hours of NA coverage over 24 hours for the current census of 35. In comparison, a census of 27 residents would include 2 nurse aides on the day shift (plus an additional NA to provide bathing up to 5 days a week up to 8 hours a day), 2 on the evening shift and 2 at night. This would be a total of 46 nurse aid hours + 8 hours NA up to 5 days a week per 24 hours for a census of 27. In review of
the facility staff posting, the DON confirmed the facility was not meeting needed NA staffing levels.
