Summary
The facility failed to follow its own policy regarding COVID-19 vaccination education and offering the vaccine to staff members. According to the facility's undated policy, all staff are to be educated about and offered the COVID-19 vaccine, with documentation maintained for each staff member. However, interviews with an LPN, the Laundry Supervisor, and a CNA revealed that none of them had been offered education or vaccination for COVID-19. Additionally, the Director of Nursing confirmed that the facility does not provide COVID-19 education or vaccination to employees. These findings indicate that the facility did not implement its stated immunization program for staff as required by its policy.
