Summary
The facility failed to provide required compliance and ethics training to two of five direct care staff reviewed. Review of the job descriptions for both Nursing Assistants and Licensed Practical Nurses indicated that staff are required to complete all assigned training and education as mandated by law and regulation. Personnel file reviews revealed that a nurse aide hired in 2000 and an LPN hired in 2020 did not have any documented education regarding compliance and ethics. Interviews with the Human Resources Director and the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that these staff members had not completed the necessary compliance and ethics education, as required by facility policy and state regulations.
