Failure to Complete Annual Performance Evaluations for GNAs
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete annual performance evaluations for two Geriatric Nursing Assistants (GNAs) as required. A review of employee records on April 8, 2025, revealed that no performance reviews for 2023 and 2024 were present for these two GNAs. This was confirmed during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator, who acknowledged that the annual evaluations had not been conducted for the specified years. No additional evidence was provided by the facility to demonstrate that the required performance evaluations had been completed for these staff members. The deficiency was identified during the annual survey, where it was noted that performance evaluations are necessary to determine in-service education needs and assess competencies of GNAs. The absence of these evaluations for the two staff members was directly observed in their employee records and confirmed by facility leadership.
