Summary
The facility failed to ensure that nurse aides received the required 12 hours of annual in-service training, as evidenced by a review of employee education records and staff interviews. Specifically, three nurse aides, all hired prior to the current year, had only completed six hours of in-service training since January 2025, with no documentation showing completion of the full annual requirement. The Director of Nursing confirmed that in-service trainings for nurse aides had only recently begun in January 2025, resulting in insufficient training hours for the reviewed staff. This deficiency was identified through review of personnel files and confirmed in an interview with the Director of Nursing.
