Failure to Provide Accident Prevention Training
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide necessary training on accident prevention for three out of five nurse aides, as required by their policy. The policy, last reviewed on March 14, 2025, mandates that all personnel receive education and training related to resident care. However, a review of the facility's documents and training records revealed that Nurse Aide Employee E11, hired on March 26, 2023, did not receive accident prevention in-service education between March 26, 2024, and March 26, 2025. Similarly, Nurse Aide Employee E13, hired on March 8, 2022, lacked this training between March 8, 2024, and March 8, 2025. Additionally, Nurse Aide Employee E15, hired on April 14, 2014, did not receive the required training between April 14, 2024, and April 14, 2025. This deficiency was confirmed by the Nursing Home Administrator during an interview on April 18, 2025.
