Penalty

Fine: $27,270

Summary

The facility failed to ensure that a nurse aide received the required 12 hours of annual training that included dementia management and abuse prevention. During a complaint survey, surveyors reviewed education records for five randomly selected nurse aides on 2/9/26. For one nurse aide hired on 7/31/24 (Staff #20), review of education records from January 2025 through February 2026 showed no evidence that this staff member had completed 12 hours of training, nor that the training included dementia management and abuse prevention. In an interview on 2/9/26 at 2:13 PM, the Administrator confirmed there was no evidence that this nurse aide had received the required annual training during that period.
