Summary
The facility failed to ensure that one of five direct care staff reviewed, a nurse aide, completed the required minimum of 12 hours of annual training. Review of the nurse aide's personnel file and continuing education transcript showed that she did not meet the annual training requirement. The facility's job descriptions for both nursing assistants and LPNs specify the obligation to complete all assigned and legally required training. Interviews with the Human Resources Director and the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that staff are required to complete annual training and that the nurse aide in question did not fulfill this requirement.
