Summary
Facility staff failed to conduct annual performance evaluations and provide the required twelve hours of annual in-service education for geriatric nursing assistants, as evidenced by a review of two personnel files. Both files lacked documentation of yearly evaluations and did not show completion of the mandated in-service training hours. The Director of Nursing confirmed that annual reviews are expected to be completed and maintained in employee files, while the Director of Human Resources acknowledged that only 9.4 hours of online training were provided, with no documentation for the remaining required hours. No additional evidence was presented to demonstrate compliance with the annual training requirement.
