Summary

The facility failed to ensure that five sampled nurse aides received at least twelve hours of annual in-service training, as required by state and federal regulations. Review of the personnel files for these nurse aides showed no documentation of completed annual in-service training. Interviews with the DON and ADON revealed that the facility had been without a Staff Development Coordinator since the previous coordinator was terminated for not fulfilling job requirements, and that annual in-service training had not been conducted since at least December 2024. Additionally, the facility was unable to locate any in-service records from the past year. The facility's own policy requires all employees to complete annual in-service education, including job-specific training for nurse aides.
