Non-Nursing Staff Lacked Required Behavioral Health Training
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that two non-nursing staff members, specifically a cook and a housekeeping staff member, received the required behavioral health training as determined by the facility assessment. The surveyor requested in-service training records for a sample of nursing and non-nursing staff, including the cook and housekeeping staff. Upon review of the provided in-service training documentation, the surveyor was unable to locate any record indicating that either the cook or the housekeeping staff member had received behavioral health training. When questioned, the corporate representative stated that the administrator is responsible for ensuring non-nursing staff receive their required training. The administrator confirmed that there was no available documentation of behavioral health training for the two non-nursing staff members. The deficiency was identified through interviews and record reviews, with no evidence provided to demonstrate compliance with the behavioral health training requirement for these staff members.
