Summary
The facility failed to maintain an appropriate and effective in-service training program for nurse aides, as required by regulations. Specifically, a review of the records for three randomly selected Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) who had been employed for more than a year revealed that they did not complete the required 12-hour in-service training. When asked, the Administrative Nurse was unable to verify that these CNAs had received the mandated training, and the facility could not provide documentation of the required in-service hours. This deficiency was identified through observation, record review, and staff interview, and affected a facility with a census of 30 residents.
