The findings included: During initial tour on 2/26/18 of the Forsythia Cottage at approximately 9:30 AM and the Rose Cottage at approximately 9:38 AM review of the hand written staff posting had no documentation of staff coverage related to the second shift (7 PM - 7:30 AM). Random observation on 2/27/18 at approximately 9 AM of the Rose Cottage and 9:30 AM of the Forsythia Cottage revealed the hand written staff posting noted on the wall with no second shift (7 PM - 7:30 AM) staff posted. An interview on 2/27/18 at approximately 12:15 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON) and Facility Administrator confirmed the second shift staff documentation was not posted for any of the cottages until the second shift staff arrived to the facility.
