Failure to Complete Annual CNA Performance Evaluations
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to conduct annual performance evaluations for two Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), as confirmed during interviews and record reviews with the Director of Staff Development Consultant and the Administrator. Both staff members acknowledged that there were no performance evaluations found in the employee files for the two CNAs, despite facility policy requiring such evaluations at least annually and after a 90-day probationary period. The policy also specifies that written evaluations should include remarks, suggestions, and any necessary actions such as further training. The lack of documented performance reviews meant that areas of weakness and skills necessary for providing nursing services were not assessed for these CNAs.
