Failure to Ensure Required CNA In‑Service Training Completion
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a certified nurse assistant (CNA) completed the required 12 hours of in‑service training needed to ensure continued competency. Interview and record review showed that one CNA, identified as CNA F, was hired on 8/24/24 and, as of the time of survey, had completed 0 hours of in‑service training. A list of assigned in‑service trainings for this CNA documented that none of the assigned trainings had been attempted. The Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) reported that in‑services were assigned at the beginning of the year and monthly, and that CNAs were notified electronically when new training was assigned. The NHA confirmed that CNA F did not have 12 hours of completed in‑service trainings and stated that the Human Resources staff member responsible for maintaining the list of employees and training completions was unavailable during the survey. This deficiency resulted in the potential for a decrease in resident safety, as the facility did not ensure that this CNA had the required in‑service education, including dementia care and abuse prevention, as required for ongoing competency.
