One thing we couldn’t confirm.

We have not confirmed Nevada's drill frequency for this licence class, so no frequency is stated. Confirm which NAC 449 subchapter governs residential facilities for groups specifically, versus hospitals and other medical facilities — the monthly fire drill and annual per-shift disaster drill were found without a clear class scope.

Silent drills are allowed on the graveyard shift

Nevada's surveyor interpretive guidelines for residential facilities for groups accept that caregivers working different shifts may participate in drills, and that SILENT DRILLS may be run with staff on the graveyard shift in large facilities. Nevada resolves the night-drill-versus-resident-sleep tension explicitly, where most states leave operators guessing.

The evidence, and where it comes from

Every item above needs something you can hand over. The Nevada fire drill log produces the drill record at the frequency this state sets, the emergency plan builder writes the plan itself from the same research, and the compliance calendar puts the life-safety tests on dates. Anything you record against the building shows up on the checklist already ticked.
