Summary
The facility failed to ensure that all non-nursing staff received annual training on resident rights and facility responsibilities, as required. Specifically, a cook hired on 10/2/23 received the initial training on the date of hire but did not receive subsequent annual training. During the survey, the surveyor requested in-service training records for selected staff, including the cook, and found no evidence of annual training after the initial session. When questioned, the administrator confirmed that there was no documentation of the required annual training for the cook and acknowledged responsibility for ensuring non-nursing staff receive this training.
