Summary
The facility failed to ensure that initial and annual competency checklists were completed for one of four sampled employees, specifically a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA). A review of the CNA's personnel file revealed that there was no documentation of an initial competency checklist upon hire and no annual competency checklist for the following year, as required by facility policy. During an interview, the Director of Staff Development confirmed that these competency checklists were missing and acknowledged that they should have been completed according to the facility's procedures. The facility's policy states that nursing staff competency must be reviewed upon hire and annually during performance evaluations.
