“Based on documentation review, record review, and interview, the manager failed to ensure an caregiver or assistant caregiver's skills and knowledge were verified and documented before the caregiver provided physical health services on behalf of the facility, for four of four sampled caregiver and assistant caregivers. The deficient practice posed a risk if employees did not have the skills and knowledge necessary to ensure the health and safety of residents. Findings include: 1. A review of facility documentation staffing schedules revealed staffing schedules for the previous 12 months. The schedules revealed E2, E3, E4, and E5 were each scheduled to work at the facility as caregivers or assistant caregivers on multiple shifts throughout August 2023-May 2024. 2. A review of E2's, E3's, E4's, and E5's personnel records revealed no documented verification of E2's, E3's, E4's, or E5's skills and knowledge. 3. In an interview, E1 acknowledged E2's, E3's, E4's and E5's personnel records did not contain documented verification of skills and knowledge.”
