Summary
The facility failed to ensure that two Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs), both employed for more than 12 months, completed the required 12 hours of in-service education within the past year. Record review showed that neither CNA had documentation of completing the necessary in-services, including education in dementia care and abuse prevention. During an interview, the administrative nurse confirmed that she and the director of nursing were responsible for ensuring completion of yearly in-service requirements. Additionally, the facility was unable to provide a policy related to required yearly in-services.
