Summary
The facility failed to ensure that nursing assistants received the required minimum of 12 hours of in-service training per year, including education in dementia management, abuse prevention, and care for individuals with cognitive impairment. Review of personnel files for two nursing assistants showed no documentation of completion of these mandatory trainings. The administrator acknowledged that some staff did not have the minimum required training and explained that the computerized training system did not automatically schedule trainings when due or required. This deficiency was identified through interviews and record reviews, with specific reference to the lack of documented training for the sampled staff.
