an extensive assist of one for bathing and personal hygiene care. She denied the resident was able to perform her own nail care and was dependent on the staff to do it. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Intake Number 259304.

On 09/08/25 at 1:40 P.M., interview with CNA #129 stated residents cannot smoke without staff and sometimes there just isn't enough time to get it all done and take them to smoke. There have been times when there just wasn't enough staff to take the residents who wanted to smoke at the scheduled times due to resident care that had to be provided to another resident.

On 09/09/25 at 10:06 A.M., interview with Central Supply (CS) #100 stated stated she was also the staffing coordinator and both temporary and contractual staff were being used. CS #100 stated it was the expectation if call offs were unable to be covered by facility staff or temporary staff, the nurse management on-call staff would come in to cover the shift.
