Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Certified Medication Aide completed dependent adult abuse training within six months of hire, as required by facility policy. Review of the employee file for this staff member showed no documentation of the required training, either within the initial six-month period or annually thereafter. During an interview, the Director of Nursing confirmed the absence of this documentation. The facility's policy mandates that employees complete two hours of training on identification and reporting of dependent adult abuse within six months of employment, and that all nurse aides receive initial and annual abuse prevention training.
