Summary
The facility failed to provide the required minimum of 12 hours of in-service education per year for two Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), which placed residents at risk of receiving care from inadequately trained staff. CNA #2, hired on 3/22/19, had only 9.5 hours of in-service training documented for 2024 and incomplete documentation for 2025. Similarly, CNA #3, hired on 1/13/10, had only 4 hours of in-service training for 2024 and 1.5 hours for 2025. The Administrator acknowledged the requirement for 12 hours of in-service training but was unaware it was based on the hire date. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that both CNAs did not meet the required in-service hours for the evaluation period.
