Summary
The facility failed to implement its written policies and procedures regarding abuse, neglect, and misappropriation training for staff, as evidenced by the lack of documentation showing that a nurse aide received required abuse training upon their most recent re-hire. Facility policy mandates that all employees complete abuse, neglect, and misappropriation/exploitation training upon hire and at least annually. However, a review of training records for one nurse aide did not include evidence of such training at the time of their re-hire. During interviews, the Director of Nursing confirmed the absence of documentation and acknowledged that the required training could not be verified for this employee.
