Registry (NAR) prior to employment to ensure the employee did not have a finding entered into the State
Nurse Aide Registry concerning abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment of residents or misappropriation
of property and failed to complete a background check and fingerprinting with the Bureau of Criminal
Identification and Investigation for Registered Nurse (RN) #600. This affected one RN, five supervisor
employees, 15 housekeeping staff, four laundry staff, 11 dietary staff, three maintenance staff and one
administrative staff member and had the potential to affect all 81 residents residing in the facility.

been checked against the Nurse Aide Registry to ensure none of the employees had a finding entered into
the State nurse aide registry concerning abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment of residents or
misappropriation of their property prior to or at the time of hire.
An interview on 08/14/19 at 2:30 P.M. with Administration #140 revealed she did not have the Nurse Aide
Registry Information on all new hires since the last survey but she did have the dates they were checked on
a log she kept. However, the Administrator verified she did not have physical evidence including a Nurse
