Failure to Complete Annual Performance Reviews for CNAs
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete required annual performance reviews for 3 of 5 randomly reviewed CNAs, specifically CNAs #4, #6, and #7. Record review of the staffing list showed that CNA #4, hired on 10/20/17, CNA #6, hired on 12/01/21, and CNA #7, hired on 10/05/22, were all still employed at the facility. When surveyors requested CNA annual performance reviews, there were no completed annual performance reviews available for these three CNAs. During an interview, RN #3 stated he had recently been put in charge of CNA training and annual performance reviews and confirmed that each CNA is required to complete an annual performance review. In a separate interview, the Regional Nurse Consultant confirmed that CNAs #4, #6, and #7 did not have annual performance reviews completed and that they should have had them. According to the report, if the facility is not completing a performance review of every CNA at least once every 12 months, then residents are likely to not receive the appropriate care and services, and the CNAs may not meet the needs of all residents.
