66	MERRY WOOD LODGE	15019	P O BOX 130	ELMORE	AL	36025	2020-03-03	732	C	1	1	LZCS11	> Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure Nurse Staffing information was posted on Saturday, 2/29/20, when the survey team entered the building. This was observed on 2/29/20 and had the potential to affect all 92 residents residing in the facility, as well as family and visitors in the facility. Findings include: On 2/29/20 at 1:00 p.m., the survey team entered the facility and observed the Nurse Staffing information posted; the posting was dated for the previous day, 2/28/20, instead of for the current date and shift. On 3/03/20 at 3:17 p.m., Employee Identifier (EI) # 6, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), was interviewed. EI # 6 was asked who was responsible for ensuring Nurse Staffing information was posted daily on the weekends. EI # 6 said the first hall nurse was responsible. EI # 6 further stated she had been the nurse working on the 1st hall on 2/29/20. When asked if she had posted the Nurse Staffing information that day, EI # 6 said no, she forgot. EI # 6 said she should have posted the staffing information for 2/29/20 that morning. EI # 6 was asked the purpose of posting the Nurse Staffing information daily in the facility. EI # 6 said it should be posted because it shows the public how many people are working, shows the number of employees in the building, as well as the number of residents.	2020-09-01
