Summary
The facility failed to ensure that three out of five sampled nurse aides received the required minimum of 12 hours of in-service education within the past year. Review of facility policy indicated that all staff must participate in both initial orientation and annual in-service training. However, examination of nurse aide training records showed that the identified nurse aides did not meet the annual in-service training requirement. The facility was unable to provide documentation confirming that these nurse aides had completed the mandated training hours. This was confirmed during an interview with a Human Resources employee, who acknowledged the lack of evidence for the required in-service education.
