Thanks for the information. I will definitely try this on next week with my admin staff. One thing that I have tried is giving specific assignments with specific times to have them completed. Thanks again.

I am enjoying my job as DON of a LTC facility. But I have noticed that I am very frustrated lately with the day to day running of the facility. I find myself doing things so that I know they were done and done correctly. I sometimes feel that I can not trust my team to complete assignments and do them correctly. How do I tackle this issue head on without making my staff feel like I do not appreciate them?

Sorry this post is late, but also show what disciplinary action you took toward the staff that did not follow the plan of care. In this case, the staff member should have been suspended immediately pending investigation. After a three day investigation, I would terminate the staff members and in the state of MS, report them to the Board of Nursing and the Attorney General. They conduct their own investigation and decide if other reprimand needs to be given. Always remember you have to protect the resident that harm was caused to, and protect those that could be potentially harmed.
