Summary
The facility failed to ensure that Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) completed the mandatory 12 hours of education required within a 12-month period. Review of personnel and training records showed that a Certified Medication Aide (CMA) had not completed any of the required education hours in the last year. During interviews, administrative staff confirmed that there was no facility policy related to education and that the facility relied solely on regulations. The CMA also verified not having completed the mandatory education during the specified period. No policy was provided by the facility regarding staff education requirements.
