Failure to Complete Annual CNA Performance Evaluations
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete annual performance evaluations for two out of five Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs) whose records were reviewed. Specifically, one CNA hired in April 2023 did not have performance evaluations for 2024 and 2025, and another CNA hired in January 2022 did not have evaluations for 2023 and 2025. This was confirmed during a record review and interviews with the Director of Staff Development and the Director of Nursing, both of whom acknowledged the importance of annual evaluations for assessing employee attendance, skills, goals, and training needs. The facility's policy requires performance evaluations at the end of a 90-day probationary period and at least annually thereafter, but this policy was not followed for the CNAs in question.
