Failure to Complete Annual Performance Reviews for Nurse Aides
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete required annual performance reviews for three nurse aides who had been employed for over a year. A review of personnel records showed that a Certified Medication Aide and two Certified Nurse Aides, all of whom had been employed for more than a year, did not have documented annual performance evaluations for the current year. Administrative staff confirmed that while there was an annual review from the previous year, no evaluations had been conducted for the current year due to changes in administrative personnel. Additionally, when requested, the facility was unable to provide an Employee Performance Evaluation Policy. The facility's evaluation form, which covers areas such as knowledge, skillset, judgment, quality of work, productivity, dependability, communication, initiative, and resident/family focus, was not utilized for the required annual reviews.
