CNA 1 had been working with a registered sex offender background record and that did not match the CNA's name or date of birth matching with their California identi?cation card. The DSD stated that the pre-employment veri?cation process should have accurate and stated the CNA's name and date of birth before the employee's start date.

The DON stated she did not see the registered sex offender record in the chart and stated she did not recognize the individual's picture on the record.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P and P) titled, Abuse Prevention Program, dated 08/2006, the P and P indicated that the facility is committed to conducting thorough employee background checks to ensure the safety and well-being of its residents. The policy clearly states, The facility conducts employee background checks and will not knowingly employ any individual who has been convicted of abusing, neglecting, or mistreating individuals.
