Summary
The facility failed to ensure that nurse aides completed the required 12 hours of annual in‑service training, including education in dementia care and abuse prevention, as required by 42 CFR 483.95 and 28 Pa. Code 201.19(7). During review of personnel files for five nurse aides (Employees E5–E9), surveyors found no documentation that any of these employees had completed the mandated 12 hours of annual in‑service education. An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that there was no evidence in the records that these nurse aides had received the required annual training hours.
