Summary
The facility failed to ensure that Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs) received the required 12 hours of mandatory in-service training, including education in dementia care and abuse prevention, for all five CNAs whose education records were reviewed. During the survey, the personnel education files for these CNAs were requested, but no records of education were provided for any of them. The Director of Nursing (DON) stated that the facility had changed its staff education program and was unable to retrieve the education records, and no copies were saved in the employee files. When further documentation and policies regarding mandatory staff education were requested, the facility was unable to provide them.
