Summary
The facility failed to ensure that two Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) received their required annual competencies and in-service training, including education in dementia care and abuse prevention. Review of employee files showed that these CNAs had not completed their continuing annual competencies. During an interview, the Nursing Home Administrator stated that the responsibility for completing annual skills checks belonged to the Human Resource (HR) staff, but the facility did not have an HR staff member at the time of the survey. This deficiency was identified through both interview and record review and has the potential to affect all 33 residents residing in the facility.
