Summary
Facility staff failed to conduct a required annual performance review for one Geriatric Nursing Assistant who had been employed for over eight years. A review of five Geriatric Nursing Assistants' personnel files revealed that the performance review for the calendar year 2023 was not completed for this staff member. The Director of Nursing confirmed that, despite facility policy requiring annual reviews, the documentation for the required review was missing for the specified period. This deficiency was identified during a surveyor's review of personnel files and was confirmed through an interview with the Director of Nursing, who acknowledged the absence of the annual performance review for the affected staff member.
