Failure to Provide Required Annual In-Service Training for Nurse Aides
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that three out of five sampled nurse aides received the required minimum of 12 hours of in-service education per year. Personnel records and training documentation for these nurse aides (identified as E5, E6, and E8) did not contain evidence that they had completed the mandated annual in-service training. The review of facility nurse aide training records confirmed the absence of documentation for the required training hours for each of these employees. During an interview, the Human Resources staff member confirmed that the facility could not provide evidence that the three nurse aides had received the necessary yearly in-service training. The deficiency was cited under both federal and state regulations, specifically referencing requirements for ongoing staff development and the responsibility of the licensee to ensure compliance.
Plan Of Correction
Employee's 5, 6, and 8 will receive their 12 hours of in-service training in January 2026. All Nurse Aides will receive their 12 hours of in-service training during a set month of the year. Human Resource Director will educate all Director of Nursing on the annual 12 hours of in-service for Nurse Aides. Human Resource Director or designee will audit the training to ensure all nurse aides have been educated on the required topics for 12 hours of in-service annually. Audit results will be turned into Quality Assurance meeting monthly. F 0947
