Summary
The facility failed to complete annual written performance evaluations for nurse aides as required by its Employee Handbook and state regulations. Documentation review showed that five nurse aides, all employed for over a year, did not have evidence of a formal annual evaluation. The Employee Handbook specifies that all employees must receive a written annual rating and evaluation by their department supervisor, to be reviewed and signed by the employee. During an interview, the DON stated that while staff performance is discussed informally, there was no formal process in place for conducting and documenting annual evaluations at the time of the survey.
