Summary
The facility failed to provide the required minimum of 12 hours of annual training to a nurse aide, as mandated by regulations. Review of the nurse aide's job description indicated that completion of all assigned and legally required training is a primary responsibility. Facility education records for the calendar year showed that one nurse aide received only 0.21 hours of training, significantly less than the required amount. During interviews, the Director of Nursing confirmed that the facility did not meet the minimum training requirement for this staff member. This deficiency was identified through review of facility documents and staff interviews.
