Failure to Provide Required Resident Rights Training to Direct Care Staff
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that five direct care staff members received training on resident rights and facility responsibilities. During the survey, the surveyor requested evidence from the Director of Nursing (DON) that these staff members, all Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) with varying hire dates, had completed the required training. The DON was unable to provide any documentation confirming that the CNAs had received this training. The Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) also confirmed that there was no evidence available to show that the required training had been completed by these staff members. This deficiency was identified through interviews and record reviews, and it has the potential to affect the entire resident census of 91 individuals. No information was provided regarding the medical history or condition of any specific residents at the time of the deficiency.
