Inspection Findings
Findings included:
Record review of the facility's Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation and Misappropriation Prevention Program policy statement last revised revealed that the facility's abuse, neglect, and exploitation prevention program consisted of developing and implementing policies and protocols to prevent and identify abuse or mistreatment and conducting employee background checks and not unknowingly employ or otherwise engage any individual who has been found guilty of abuse, neglect or had a finding entered into the state nurse aide registry concerning abuse, neglect, exploitation or mistreatment of residents or had a disciplinary action in effect against his or her professional license by a state licensure body as a result of a finding of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment of residents or resident property .
Record review of the DON's personnel file, he was hired on 06/20/2023 and his annual EMR check in his file was 07/28/2023 which showed he was employable.
His next check was 01/09/2025 which was completed after it was brought to the facility's attention, and it showed the DON was employable.
Interview with the HR Coordinator on 1/9/2025 at 2:50pm, she said that the DON's last background check was completed at 7/28/2023.
She said she conducted a background check on 01/09/2025 because this was brought to her attention and the Administrator told her to go ahead and do the check.
She said background checks are to be done annually and that she is responsible for completing them.
The HR Coordinator said the facility did annual checks to make sure there was nothing on a person's record and to avoid accidentally hiring a criminal.
She also said that her missing it must have been an oversight.
Interview with the ED (Executive Director) on 1/10/2025 at 1:33pm, he said he was not sure if employee background checks needed to be completed on an annual basis.
But if that was a requirement by the State, then anyone who had been barred from employment would continue to be able to work and that would put the facility out of compliance.
