Based on documentation review, record review, and interview, the manager failed to ensure current documentation of first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training certification specific to adults was maintained for one of two employees sampled. The deficient practice posed a risk if an employee was unable to meet a resident's needs during an emergency, and the department was provided false or misleading documentation. Findings include:  1. A review of the facility's policies and procedures revealed a policy titled “CPR Certification Policy.” The policy stated, “CPR Certification Policy … Applies to: All Direct Care Staff, Managers, and Emergency Response Personnel … Purpose… To ensure the safety and well-being of all residents by requiring staff to be trained and certified in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).

However, the Compliance Officers observed that the card had been altered. The original card stated "class completion date 5/3/2023" and "expiration date 5/3/2025," but the dates had been written over and changed to "05/23/2025" and "05/23/2027." A zero and a two were added, and the digits three and five in "2023" and "2025" appeared to have been overwritten to make them look like a five and a seven.
