Failure to Complete Timely Elder Abuse Prevention Training for New CNA
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that initial elder abuse prevention training was completed in a timely manner for one newly hired Certified Nursing Assistant. Personnel records showed that this staff member, hired on 11/01/2025, did not have documented evidence of completing elder abuse prevention training upon hire. According to the facility's policy, all staff, including contract staff and volunteers, are required to receive training on abuse prevention, reporting, and intervention upon hire, annually, and as needed. The Administrator confirmed that abuse training should be completed during the first orientation and that staff are not permitted to work on the floor prior to completing this training. However, the record review and Administrator interview confirmed that this requirement was not met for the identified employee.
