Failure to Ensure CNA Completion of Required Annual Training
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that one of four CNAs completed the required 12 hours of annual in-service training, including mandatory education on abuse prevention and dementia care. Personnel file review revealed that this CNA did not complete orientation training, competency evaluations, or annual CNA training from the time of hire through the date of review. The orientation checklist in the file was blank, and training records showed only a single 15-minute session on communication. There was no documentation of Dependent Adult Abuse training, abuse prevention, or dementia training for this CNA. The Administrator confirmed the lack of required training and documentation, attributing the deficiency to a transition in the facility's online training platform and acknowledged that the only completed training was due to direct oversight by another staff member.
