Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to provide evidence of completion of an annual EMR for CNA-B. These deficient practices could place residents at risk for abuse and neglect. The findings were: Review of the personnel file for CNA-B with a hire date of 06/06/2022 revealed last EMR was verified on 06/03/2022. During an interview on 09/26/2023 at 10:27 a.m., ADMN stated that EMR's were not verified. He was not aware the facility was supposed to verify EMRs yearly until new company took over the first of September. The failure was that EMR verification did not occur. ADMN stated that the affect on residents would be that not completing annual EMR's could result in staff working in the building that should not be allowed to work.
