Summary
The facility failed to ensure that one Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) maintained a current and valid certification. Review of personnel files showed that the CNA was hired in May 2022, but there was no evidence of a current CNA certificate in the file. Further review of the Nurse Aide Registry confirmed that the CNA's status had been inactive since June 2023. During an interview, administrative staff acknowledged the expectation that all CNAs should have current certification. The facility was unable to provide a policy regarding the renewal of CNA certification.
