8406 BROWN HEALTH AND REHABILITATION 115090 545 COOK STREET ROYSTON GA 30662 2011-10-06 356 C 0 1 Z6CD11 Based on observation, record review and staff interview the facility failed to accurately post nurse staffing in a location easily accessible to residents and visitors. Findings include: During initial tour of the facility on 10/03/11 at 11:30 a.m. posting of nursing staff hours was not observed on any unit by the survey team. During the remainder of the survey on 10/03/11 through 10/06/11 at 12 noon nursing staff hours were not observed on any unit. On 10/06/11 at 12:20 p.m. the Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed and stated nursing hours were posted inside the nurses' stations, which are glassed in enclosures. This was observed with the DON on Unit 1. It was covered with paper. The DON also stated it was posted in the time clock room which had a sign on the door which read, employees only. She further stated it was an assignment posting for staff as well as residents, but agreed it was not accessible to residents and visitors in the present locations Review of the assignment sheet also revealed it did not include the number of hours each staff member worked per shift. 2016-01-01
