Summary
The facility failed to ensure that Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) received the required in-service training, including education on dementia care and abuse prevention, as mandated by facility policy and regulatory requirements. A review of training records for five CNAs revealed that at least two CNAs did not have documentation of dementia training, and one CNA's file lacked evidence of the total number of in-service hours completed. The facility's policy required all nurse aides to participate in at least 12 hours of continuing education annually, including dementia management. During an interview, administrative staff confirmed the expectation for staff to complete the required education and annual training hours.
