She stated that it was important for staff to be up to date on trainings, and depending on what the training was, it could have an effect on the residents' care. In an interview on 12/04/2025 at 2:47 pm with Administrator revealed that he was responsible for ensuring that the staff were up to date with annual trainings. He stated that all staff were required to complete annual trainings regardless the shift they work, but that nightshift nurses were a little harder to get a hold of. He stated that staff not being up to date on trainings such as restraint reduction and abuse and neglect could lead to the staff not knowing how to properly proceed in an event of needing to restrain or identifying abuse and neglect.
