Failure to Complete Annual Performance Evaluations for Nursing Assistants
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide annual performance evaluations for four nursing assistants, as required. Employee records showed that one nursing assistant, hired in October 2023, had not received any performance evaluation since hire. Two other nursing assistants, hired in November 2022 and April 2022, each had only one performance evaluation on file from March 2023, with no subsequent evaluations documented. Another nursing assistant, hired in February 2020, had a performance evaluation from 2022 but none after that. Interviews with the nursing assistants confirmed they did not recall receiving recent evaluations. The Director of Nursing stated she had not conducted any performance evaluations for nursing assistants during her three-year tenure, and the Administrator acknowledged there was no policy for annual evaluations, though it was expected they be completed.
