Failure to Maintain Required CNA Training Records
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain records demonstrating that Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) completed at least 12 hours of mandatory continuing competency training per year, as required. During the survey, the survey team requested proof of annual CNA training for five employees, but education records for two CNAs did not indicate that the required training had been completed or documented. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that she could not provide additional education records for these CNAs and stated that such records should be kept in employee folders. The Human Resource Director (HR) reported that she manages onboarding and policy training during orientation, while the DON is responsible for clinical training, but the HR Director was unaware of the specific training requirements and could not provide further documentation for the two CNAs.
