- On 03/18/25 a review of staffing for background checks for facility staff was completed.

Upon request and review the facility was unable to provide evidence a criminal background check had been completed before four employees began working around and with residents.

The facility records revealed the following staff started employment at the facility before the background checks returned:

Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) N started on 07/09/22 and the background check was not verified until 02/04/24.

CNA O started on 01/24/24 and the background check was not verified until 02/12/24.

Housekeeping Staff U started on 11/05/21 and the background check was not verified until 12/03/24.

Maintenance Staff V started on 02/20/24 and the background check was not verified until 02/22/24.

On 03/18/25 at 01:39 PM, Administrative Staff A verified the facility had not received the background checks for four staff prior to those staff working in the facility.

The facility's Monitoring Background Checks policy, dated 09/06/2021, stated following each background check on each newly hired employee, human resource personnel would routinely check the state website for the results of the checks.

The date of the background check, the result, and the date the result was recorded would be tracked.

The facility failed to perform background checks as required for four employees who were allowed access to residents without knowing if they had been found guilty of abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, or mistreatment by a court of law.

Were these violations corrected?
