Summary
The facility failed to implement and maintain an effective training program for Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), as evidenced by a review of one CNA's employee education record. The CNA, hired in August 2021, did not have documentation of completing the required 12 hours of annual in-service education, including mandatory training in dementia care, resident rights, and infection control. This deficiency was confirmed during an interview with the Payroll and Resident Accounts Manager, where it was acknowledged that the CNA had not fulfilled the annual education requirements.
