Summary
The facility failed to complete annual performance evaluations for two out of three Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) who had been employed for a year or more, as determined by employee record review and staff interview. Specifically, one Certified Medication Aide's (CMA) annual performance evaluation was not completed with the required employee signature, and another CMA's most recent evaluation was not current. The administrative nurse confirmed that annual evaluations should be conducted for direct care staff to identify weaknesses and address them to ensure adequate care for residents. Additionally, the facility was unable to provide a policy related to annual performance evaluations.
