Kadima Rehabilitation & Nursing At Washington

Every single staff member whose records were reviewed had gone without the required annual infection control training. The Director of Nursing confirmed it on the spot.

The ten employees spanned nearly every corner of the facility. A physical therapy aide hired in September 2016 had no infection control training on record going back to January 2025. An environmental services worker, on staff since February 2006, had no record of the training going back two full years, to February 2024. A registered nurse hired in November 2019 had missed the training window entirely. So had the activity director, a central supply employee, and four nurse aides.

Some of those aides were new. One was hired in November 2024, another the same month, a third in September 2024. None had received infection control training before the January 30 inspection. A nurse aide who first joined the facility in October 1998, nearly 28 years ago, also had no training on record for the required period.

The facility's own documents made the failure harder to explain away. The Facility Assessment, reviewed just weeks earlier on January 7, listed infection control as a required training topic. The Staff Development Program policy, also reviewed that same day, identified infection prevention and control as mandatory for both orientation and annual training.

The policy existed. The requirement was written down. The training didn't happen.

Infection control training covers the basics of how diseases spread inside a facility and how to stop them, knowledge especially critical for nurse aides and environmental services staff who move between residents and shared spaces throughout every shift. The Central Supply employee, whose job involves handling medical materials across the building, had been on staff since September 2024 with no training recorded.

Inspectors cited the facility under three Pennsylvania Department of Health codes covering licensee responsibility, management, and staff development. The Director of Nursing did not dispute the findings.
