Summary
The facility failed to ensure that annual Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation Training was completed for staff based on their anniversary or birth month, as required by facility policy. Review of a Certified Nursing Assistant's training record showed that mandated reporter training was not completed annually, with the last trainings documented outside of the required timeframes for two consecutive years. During an interview, the Standards Director confirmed that the staff member's abuse training was not current and had been out of compliance for the prior two years. The facility's policy requires all workforce members to complete annual training, but this was not followed in this instance.
