Failure to Complete Annual Performance Evaluations for CNAs
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete annual performance evaluations for Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), specifically for CNA 1, CNA 2, and CNA 4. During a review of employee files with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), it was found that none of these CNAs had an annual performance evaluation for 2024, despite the facility's policy requiring such evaluations at least annually. The DSD acknowledged not being aware that performance evaluations were to be conducted annually. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that annual evaluations are expected and are used to recognize staff strengths and address weaknesses. The facility's policy, dated September 2001, also specifies that performance evaluations are to be completed at least annually and are tied to compensation reviews.
