Failure to Provide Annual Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation, and Dementia Training to Non-Nursing Staff
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that one of two non-nursing staff members selected at random received required annual training on abuse, neglect, exploitation, and dementia care. Specifically, Cook-L was hired on 10/2/23 and received initial training on abuse, neglect, exploitation, and dementia management on the date of hire, but there was no evidence of any subsequent annual training provided. During the survey, the surveyor requested in-service training records for selected staff and found that Cook-L had not received the required annual training after the initial session. When questioned, the corporate representative and the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that there was no documentation of annual training for Cook-L, and the Administrator acknowledged responsibility for ensuring non-nursing staff receive required training.
