Summary
The facility failed to provide evidence that a background check had been conducted for one employee, specifically a Recreation Aide. During interviews and a review of facility documents, it was determined that no background check information was found in the employee's file. The current Human Resource Manager, who had recently started, noted that several files were missing background checks and explained that the previous Human Resource Manager worked remotely and did not print or file the necessary forms. Despite attempts by the Administrator and Assistant Director of Nursing Services to locate or obtain the background check, no documentation was produced for the Recreation Aide.
