Failure to Document Required Annual Nurse Aide Training
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that nursing assistants completed and retained documentation of the required minimum of 12 hours of annual nursing training for two out of four nurse aides whose personnel records were reviewed. Specifically, for two nursing assistants, there was no documentation available to confirm completion of annual training and competencies in areas such as dementia care, abuse prevention, accident prevention, restorative nursing techniques, emergency preparedness, resident rights, and cultural competency. This deficiency was identified through reviews of staff training records, the facility assessment, and staff interviews. The Administrator confirmed that the necessary training and competency documentation for these nursing assistants was not available for review.
