Failure to Provide Restorative Nursing Training to Staff
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide required training on Restorative Nursing techniques to seven staff members, including RNs, LPNs, and NAs. According to the facility's own policy, all staff, including those under contractual arrangements and volunteers, must receive training relevant to their roles before independently providing services to residents, annually, and as necessary based on the facility assessment. Personnel file reviews for the identified staff members showed no evidence of Restorative Nursing training within the required annual period following their respective hire dates. During an interview, the Human Resources representative confirmed that none of the seven staff members received the mandated Restorative Nursing training. This lack of training was identified through a review of facility policy, staff personnel files, and direct staff interviews, establishing that the facility did not meet its own training requirements for staff competency in Restorative Nursing.
Plan Of Correction
Employee's 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 will receive the Restorative Nursing training in January 2026. All employees will receive an annual Restorative Nursing training during a set month of the year. Human Resource Director will educate all Department Directors on the annual education requirements for Restorative Nursing training. Human Resource Director or designee will audit the training to assure all staff have been educated on Restorative Nursing training topic. Audit results will be turned into Quality Assurance meeting monthly.
