The penalty, as released by CMS, applies to the entire inspection this citation is part of, covering all citations and f-tags issued, not just this specific f-tag. For the complete original report, please refer to the 'Details' section.

Summary

The facility, licensed for 288 beds, failed to employ a qualified full-time social worker as required for facilities with more than 120 beds. The Administrator confirmed that the current Social Services Director (SSD) did not possess the minimum required credentials, such as a bachelor's degree in social work or a related human services field. Employment documentation review revealed that the social services staff, including the Social Services Assistant (SSA) 1, SSA2, and SSA3, did not meet the qualifications for a social worker, with SSA1 lacking both the necessary experience in a health care setting and direct work with individuals, and SSA2 and SSA3 also not meeting the definition of a qualified social worker. Interviews with the SSD and SSA1 further confirmed the absence of required educational background and relevant work experience among the social services staff.
