Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) had an annual skills competency assessment completed as required. During an interview and review of employee records with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), it was found that the CNA's new hire competency was completed, but the annual competency, which was due, had not been performed. The DSD acknowledged that the annual competency was missed due to an oversight. According to the facility's policy and procedure, annual competency validation is necessary to evaluate staff performance, meet regulatory standards, and address any problematic issues to protect residents' health, safety, and well-being.
