Summary
The facility failed to complete required Nurse Aide Registry checks for two of five sampled employees, specifically an LPN and a Maintenance Assistant, both of whom had the potential for unsupervised access to all residents. Record reviews showed that neither employee had documentation of a completed Nurse Aide Registry check in their personnel files. The facility's policy required verification of board registrations and certifications for prospective employees, but this process was not followed for these two staff members. The Administrator confirmed during an interview that the checks had not been completed for these employees.
