9099C-1... Allegation: Staff are not properly trained. The complaint alleges staff are not trained and that training documentation is false.
LPA requested all staff files be made available for review since they were not accessible when LPA was at the facility on 3/27/24. The Administrator stated the files were in electronic/PDF format on her laptop which was at another location during the inspection on 3/27/24.
The administrator emailed LPA (3) staff files for staff (S1, S2 and S3) on 4/8/24. All (3) staff had current First Aid/CPR certifications on file, but there was no documentation that staff (S1) or (S3) had completed the required initial and/or continuing training related to ADL's or medication administration. LPA observed documentation that (S2) had completed hospice care and Dementia care training in April 2024.
LPA requested to review the remaining staff files on 4/24/24, but the files were not able to be accessed due to the Administrator being the only one who has access; however, LPA confirmed that (S4) completed First Aid/CPR certification prior to beginning to work at the facility.
Based on the the training documentation that was viewed, the part of the allegation about documentation being "false" is not able to be substantiated. Based on (3) staff files that were able to be reviewed and the remaining staff files that were not able to be reviewed to confirm that all staff have completed all required training, LPA finds the allegation to be SUBSTANTIATED- A finding that the complaint is Substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.
Allegation: Staff files are incomplete. The complaint alleges staff health screenings are not completed and the criminal record statements are not signed.
LPA reviewed health screenings and criminal record clearances for (6) staff files. (5) of (6) criminal record clearances were signed. LPA observed staff (S6) sign the LIC508 during the inspection on 4/17/24. Health screenings for (3) staff (S2, S5 and S6) appeared that some parts were photocopied and used more than once.
Based on documentation reviewed, LPA finds the allegation to be SUBSTANTIATED- meaning the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.
