Summary
The facility failed to ensure that nurse aides received the required annual in-service training, as evidenced by a review of personnel training records and staff interviews. Specifically, one nurse aide had only completed 9.5 hours of annual training, falling short of the mandated 12 hours, and another nurse aide had not completed any training in dementia management. These deficiencies were confirmed by the Human Resources Director and the DON during staff interviews, who acknowledged the lack of compliance with training requirements for nurse aides. The findings were based on a review of employee records and direct confirmation from facility leadership.
