Failure to Provide Required Annual Abuse and Resident Rights Training to Staff
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement its abuse policy and procedure requiring annual training on abuse, neglect, exploitation, and resident rights for staff who had been employed more than four months. Record review on 3/6/26 showed that an LPN who started on 4/12/24 and a CNA who started on 7/11/24 had not completed abuse training or resident rights training since their start dates in 2024. During interview, the Business Office Manager confirmed that these two staff members had no abuse or resident rights training in 2025, and the Corporate Regional Manager stated that such training was required to be completed yearly. A facility policy dated 5/6/25, identified by the Administrator as current, indicated the facility would maintain an effective training program for all staff that included, at a minimum, training on abuse and abuse prevention, which was not followed for these two staff members.
