Summary

The facility failed to ensure completion and tracking of required annual abuse training for staff, resulting in two of ten staff reviewed not having current abuse education. A nursing assistant hired on 11/7/25 had no record of completed annual abuse training as of a training record printed on 3/5/26. A registered nurse hired on 8/28/24 had not completed annual abuse training since the date of hire, according to a training record printed on 3/5/26. During an interview, the human resources manager stated that managers were responsible for ensuring their staff completed training, that the corporate office sent quarterly messages regarding required trainings, and that she reminded managers, but she did not track which staff had or had not completed required training. The facility’s Regulatory and Compliance Education policy dated 5/1/24 stated that each community should assign an associate to the super registrar role to manage tracking of the training system, that assigned hire courses should be completed before an associate works independently on the floor, and that annual requirements are established and assigned quarterly.
