Summary
The facility failed to ensure that five Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) received required training on compliance and ethics. During a survey, the surveyor requested evidence of compliance and ethics training for five specific CNAs. The Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) was unable to provide documentation that these staff members had received the necessary training. The NHA confirmed in an interview that the identified CNAs should have received the training but did not. This deficiency was identified through both interview and record review, and it has the potential to affect the facility's total census of 70 residents.
