Failure to Ensure Required Annual In‑Service Training for CNA
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a CNA received the required 12 hours of annual in‑service training. Record review of CNA #2’s personnel file showed this CNA was hired on 03/11/20. Further review of CNA #2’s in‑service training transcript dated 12/05/25 showed the CNA had completed only five and a half hours of in‑service training during the period from 12/06/24 to 12/05/25. In an interview, the Payroll Specialist stated she expects all CNAs to complete the required amount of training each year and confirmed that CNA #2 had not met this requirement. This deficiency is related to the facility’s failure to ensure CNAs receive the necessary in‑service training hours, including education in dementia care and abuse prevention, as required for maintaining skills to meet residents’ care needs.
