Summary
The facility failed to provide mandatory annual Infection Control training to one of five staff members, specifically a nurse aide who was employed since 12/2/14. According to the facility's Staff Development Training Program policy, all employees are required to attend training on Infection Control upon hire and at least annually. Review of the nurse aide's personnel file showed no documentation of Infection Control training for the period between 12/2/23 and 12/2/24. This deficiency was confirmed during an interview with the Registered Nurse Educator, who acknowledged that the required training had not been provided to the staff member as stipulated by facility policy.
