Summary
Facility staff failed to provide credible evidence of abuse training for two certified nursing assistants out of eight employee records reviewed. During an extended survey, a sample of eight employees was selected, and the facility administrator was asked to provide documentation of staff training in abuse prevention and reporting. Upon review of the employee records, it was found that two CNAs did not have documentation indicating they had received the required abuse training. The facility administrator and corporate staff confirmed the absence of this documentation and were unable to locate records of the training for these staff members. No further information was provided before the exit conference.
