Failure to Ensure Valid Dependent Adult Abuse Mandatory Reporter Training for Staff
D
F0607 F607: Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft.
Short Summary

Surveyors found that a maintenance staff member did not legitimately complete required Dependent Adult Abuse (DAA) Mandatory Reporter Training, despite having a certificate on file. The facility’s policy required all employees to complete a 1-hour DAA reporting course every three years. The staff member reported repeated unsuccessful attempts to pass the test and stated that an administrative assistant told him she would handle it, possibly using his login. Another maintenance staff member confirmed the staff member’s difficulty with the course. The administrative assistant ultimately admitted she took the DAA test for the staff member without informing facility leadership, resulting in inaccurate training records.
