Summary
The facility failed to ensure that one of five nurses, specifically an agency nurse, had received the necessary training and competency assessments required to provide care for residents. During a review of five nurses' education and training files, the facility was unable to locate the training and competency documentation for the agency nurse. An interview with the Administrator confirmed that the agency nurse was no longer employed at the facility and that a recent change in the education department contributed to the inability to find the required file. This deficiency was previously cited during a prior recertification survey.
