THE FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS
SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY.
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. This had the potential to affect 16
(#6, #7, #8, #11, #13, #14, #17, #19, #28, #35, #36, #46, #47, #48, #67 and #72) residents identified by the
facility as residing on the South Unit of the facility. 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.
Review of staff assignment sheets from 10/01/23 through 11/08/23 confirmed STNA #205 was assigned to
the South Unit on each of the scheduled work days.
Interview on 01/10/24 at 8:25 A.M. with the Administrator verified STNA #205 was a former agency staff
who picked up shifts through a local staffing agency the facility had a contract with. The facility was notified
the STNA had a criminal record, verified this on research, and placed STNA #205 on the Do Not Return
(DNR) list. The Administrator stated the contract with the staffing agency identified the agency as
responsible for ensuring background checks were completed and maintenance of those records.
Interview on 01/10/24 at 10:56 A.M. with Human Resources Manager (HRM) #301 revealed all facility staff
received criminal background checks, abuse training, and nurse aide registry checks upon hire. On
11/07/23, HRM #301 stated the facility received a verbal tip STNA #205 had criminal charges. The facility
investigated, found the claim was substantiated, removed STNA #205 from the schedule and notified the
staffing agency.
Interview on 01/11/24 at 11:03 A.M. with the staffing agency [NAME] President of Marketing (VPM) #701
revealed his agency could not find evidence STNA #205 had a completed criminal background check when
she began employment with them.
