Residents Affected - Some Based on personnel record review, review of staff timecards, review of staff assignments, review of court documents, policy review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure all staff working at the facility had a completed background check and did not have a disqualifying offense.

The facility census was 70. Findings include: Review of State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #205's personnel record revealed the STNA was employed by a staffing agency, with a hire date of 05/03/22. Review of STNA #205's timecards revealed she worked in the facility 18 days in October 2023 and five days in November 2023, with the last day being 11/08/23 when the facility removed STNA #205 from the facility after being alerted to a potentially disqualifying offense.
