Summary
The facility failed to provide at least 12 hours of annual education to two certified nurse aides (CNAs) over the past 12 months, as required. When surveyors requested the education records for these CNAs, administrative staff, including the executive director and director of clinical services, indicated that they might not be able to provide the requested documentation due to a recent sale of the facility and lack of access to previous personnel records. The assistant director of clinical services, who was new to the role, confirmed she could not account for the missing education hours in the past. No further information or documentation was provided to the survey team prior to the exit interview.
