Summary
The facility failed to provide required annual training on its Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) program to staff, including several Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). The facility's QAPI plan specifies that all employees, departments, and services are to be included in the program, and that leadership is responsible for ensuring staff receive necessary technical training. Upon review of staff education records, it was found that the education provided to selected CNAs did not include QAPI program education. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that these staff members had not received the required QAPI training, despite the expectation that they should have.
