Summary
The facility failed to ensure that one of five nursing assistant certified (NAC) staff received the required training in dementia care, abuse and neglect, communication, quality assurance performance improvement (QAPI), and the mandated 12-hour annual training. Review of the staff member's training record showed only a few completed documents related to abuse/neglect and care of the cognitively impaired, with no evidence of other required trainings. Interviews with facility staff revealed that there was no system in place to track the 12-hour education requirement for agency NACs, and responsibilities for tracking and providing training were unclear among staff. This deficiency was previously cited in a prior statement of deficiencies.
