The facility failed to ensure staff were properly trained in Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation, Fall Prevention, HIV, Restraints, Emergency Procedures and Dementia for 4 of 5 employees (LVN A, CNA B, CNA C, and the PTA) reviewed for training at hire and annually. This failure could place residents at risk of receiving care from individuals who did not have the knowledge and skills to properly provide safety from adverse events or other resident life and health complications. Findings included: Record review of employee records for LVN A reflected LVN A was hired at the facility on 03/18/2022 and had not received annual training through the facility on Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation, Fall Prevention, HIV, Restraints, Emergency Procedures, and Dementia since 09/24/2023. Record review of employee records for CNA B reflected CNA B was hired at the facility on 06/09/2023 and had not received annual training through the facility on Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation, Fall Prevention, HIV, Restraints, Emergency Procedures, and Dementia since 02/24/2024. Record review of employee records for CNA C reflected CNA C was hired at the facility on 02/28/2023 and had not received annual training through the facility on Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation, Fall Prevention, HIV, Restraints, Emergency Procedures, and Dementia since 02/28/2024.

She stated she had spoken with the corporate office about trainings being provided to the facility staff, but nothing had been done at the corporate level. She stated she had asked the corporate office about the required instructional material of trainings, not the timing of trainings. The BOM/HR stated the PTA did not have trainings for Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation, Fall Prevention, HIV, Restraints, HIV, Restrains, Emergency Procedures, and Dementia on file with the facility because she assumed the PTA had done them through her contracted company. The BOM/HR had not asked the company for verification of the trainings for the PTA prior to hire and was unable to provide the telephone number for the contracted company, so the trainings for the PTA could have been verified. The BOM/HR stated LVN A, CNA B and CNA C should have been trained on Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation, Fall Prevention, HIV, Restraints, Emergency Procedures, and Dementia care through the facility, and could not explain why their training records were not up to date. The BOM/HR stated these trainings were done when an individual was hired and again annually. She stated the negative outcome of caring for residents without training could have been residents received incorrect or incomplete care by the untrained individual.

The facility failed to ensure CNA C's certification was current before allowing her to care for residents. CNA C worked in the facility providing resident care, on a full-time basis, with an expired certification for the months of February and [DATE].

The Admin., the ADON, and the BOM/HR could not identify a negative outcome of having an uncertified CNA caring for residents. The DON stated CNA C had been a CNA for an exceptionally long time and she was competent in her skillset but could not give a negative outcome of CNA C providing care to residents with an expired certification. An interview with the Administrator on [DATE] at 5:27PM reflected monthly in-service trainings did not count as competency training in the aforementioned subjects, due to the fact that monthly in-services did not have a pre- or post-test and had no measure of staff competency but were informational and meant as a refresher course to keep vital information at the forefront of staff decision-making and resident care. There was no facility policy for the review of employee files by the BOM/HR or for the oversight of certificates by the DON.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 1 (CNA B) of 5 staff observed for resident care. -CNA B did not perform the proper process, wash her hands, change gloves, or place a residents brief properly while performing incontinent care. This deficient practice has the potential to affect residents in the facility receiving incontinent care by exposing them to care that could lead to the spread of infections, tissue breakdown, and feelings of isolation related to poor hygiene. Findings include: During an observation on 10/29/24 at 10:59 AM of incontinent care performed by CNA B, CNA B cleaned the resident's rectal area first removing several wipes covered with BM, changed her gloves, used ABHR, placed new gloves, sprayed the resident's rectal area with moisture wipe, then wiped his rectal area with two more wipes. CNA B then picked up the new brief with her contaminated gloves and placed it under the residents. The resident was then rolled to his back. CNA B wiped the resident's penis with one wipe then pulled the new brief in place with her contaminated gloves and secured it. CNA B then removed her contaminated gloves and used ABHR. During an interview on 10/29/24 at 11:34 AM CNA B verified that she did remove her gloves and use ABHR then spray the resident's rectal area with moisture wipe, then use two more wipes to clean his rectal area, and then placed his new brief without removing her gloves or washing her hands. CNA B reported that she should have changed her gloves and washed her hands before putting on the clean brief. CNA B reported that if there had been any sign of feces on her gloves she would have had a problem but she did not see anything on her gloves, so she did not feel that not changing her gloves was an issue. CNA B did verify that she cleaned the resident's rectal area first before cleaning his peri area, that due to the residents having pooped she needed to clean his rectal area first. CNA B reported that she understood and had been instructed that a resident who had a BM was supposed to have that cleaned first before cleaning the peri area. CNA B stated, If you clean the back first when it's got poop you have that cleaned and then you won't get the front dirty. CNA B verified that the DON was the current infection control instructor and that she had been instructed on handwashing and glove changes. During an interview on 10/30/24 at 09:00 AM the DON with the ADON present reported that she expects her staff to complete all incontinent care with cleaning the peri area first then the rectal area before placing the new brief. The DON said this was done to prevent bacteria from the rectal area getting in the urethra and causing a UTI/infection. The DON reported that she also expected that infections could develop with glove changes and handwashing that are not done correctly because bacteria could be introduced. The DON expects glove changes/handwashing and/or sanitizer use frequently, anytime a staff member goes from dirty to clean, and before placing any new supplies such as briefs. The DON reported that if this process was not followed then a resident would be placed at risk for infection due to bacteria that would be on the dirty gloves that could be passed to the hands. The DON verified that she did teach staff on infection control, handwashing, and glove changes and that all direct care staff were instructed on the proper process for incontinent care and when to change gloves and use handwashing or ABHR/sanitizer. Record review of the facility provided policy titled Handwashing/Hand Hygiene revised October 2023, revealed the following: Policy Statement: The facility considers hand hygiene the primary means to prevent the spread of healthcare-associated infections.
