Failure to Provide Mandatory Training to CNA
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that mandatory training, including abuse, fire, disaster, and dementia training, was provided to a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), identified as Employee 10 (E10). E10 was hired on March 4, 2003, and a review of their employee file revealed a lack of documentation for the required training. On April 11, 2025, the Human Resource/Payroll Clerk confirmed that E10 had no record of completing these mandatory trainings. The Staff Development Assistant acknowledged that the facility was expected to comply with state and local laws, which included providing state-required training such as care of dementia residents, abuse, fire, and disaster training. The Covenant Care Employee Training Requirements, updated in December 2022, outlined the necessity for new hires and annual compliance-related training for all employees, including abuse and neglect, safety-related training, and training required by federal and state requirements specific to Nevada. The State Operations Manual for Long Term Care Facilities mandates in-service training for nurse aides, including dementia management and resident abuse prevention training. The deficiency placed residents at risk for inappropriate care.
