Failure to Provide Required Annual In‑Service Training for CNAs
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that CNAs received the required 12 hours of annual in‑service training, including dementia care and abuse prevention, as identified through record review and staff interview. Review of employee files showed that one CNA hired on 11/18/24 and another CNA hired on 09/20/24 had no documentation of any in‑service trainings in their personnel files. During an interview on 01/13/26 at 9:27 AM, the administrator confirmed that there was no documentation of in‑service trainings for these two CNAs and acknowledged that CNAs were expected to complete at least 12 hours of in‑service training annually. This lack of documented training was cited as a deficiency because it was likely to result in CNAs not receiving the necessary training to meet residents’ care needs. No specific residents, medical histories, or clinical conditions were mentioned in the report in connection with this deficiency.
