Failure to Provide Required Annual In‑Service Training for CNAs
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that CNAs received at least 12 hours of annual in‑service training as required by its Nurse Aide Training Program policy. During an interview, the Business Office Manager (BOM) stated that the annual 12-hour CNA training requirement is based on each CNA’s hire date. Facility documents reviewed showed that CNA E, hired on 11/10/21, had 0 hours of training since 5/28/24; CNA K, hired on 11/10/23, had 0 hours of training since 11/10/23; CNA L, hired on 1/15/24, had 0 hours of training since hire; CNA M, hired on 7/13/23, had 0 hours of training since hire; and CNA N, hired on 2/24/23, had 0 hours of training since 11/15/23. In a subsequent interview, the DON acknowledged that these five CNAs did not have the required 12 hours of annual training, despite the written policy stating that each nurse aide shall be provided at least 12 hours of in‑service training annually based on their employment date. No specific residents, medical histories, or resident conditions were described in relation to this deficiency, and the report focused solely on staff training records and staff interviews.
