Based on staff interview and record review, the facility did not ensure their abuse policy was implemented for 1 of 8 employees reviewed for background checks.
The facility allowed a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) G to work with residents on 01/14/23 and 01/15/23 before background check was received. Background check was received on 01/20/23.
This is evidenced by:
The facility policy, entitled Abuse, Neglect, Mistreatment, Exploitation and Misappropriation of Resident Property, dated November 2022, states: 1. Screening components . Abuse Policy Requirements: it is the policy of Dove Healthcare to screen employees and volunteers prior to working with residents. Screening components include verification of references, certification and verification of license and criminal background checks.
Surveyor was completing the caregiver compliance check when Surveyor noticed that CNA G's start date was dated 01/14/23, and their reports from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Integrated Background Information System (IBIS) were dated 01/20/23. The background check date was six days after the date of hire.
Record review of the CNA Schedule from 01/14/23 to 01/20/23 shows that CNA G worked on 01/14/23 for eight hours and 01/15/23 for eight hours. The CNA Schedule shows that CNA G was shadowing with CNA H on 01/14/23 and CNA I on 01/15/23. CNA G did not work another day until after 01/20/23.
On 10/18/23 at 9:20 AM, Surveyor interviewed Nursing Support (NS) F, who sets up the schedule for new hires. NS F was asked what the first week looks like for a CNA. NS F said that first, they have a few hours of general training, but after that general training on the computer is completed, they are sent to the floor to shadow another CNA.
On 10/18/23 at 11:20 AM, Surveyor interviewed Director of Nursing (DON) B regarding staff background checks. When asked what their expectations would be regarding receiving a background check, DON B said they would expect staff to have a verified background check before being allowed to work on the floor.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility did not ensure prior to the installation or use of bed rails, attempted to use alternative devices, assess the resident for risk of entrapment from bed rails, obtain consent with the resident or resident representative for review of risks and benefits of bed rails for 8 of 8 residents (R) R12, R13, R16, R27, R3, R4, R14, R22) observed with side rails/enabler bars during the survey process.
The facility failed to attempt alternatives prior to installation of grab bars and failed to obtain informed signed consent of risk and benefit for grab bars with the resident or resident representative for R12, R13, R16, R27, R3, R4, R14, and R22.
This is evidenced by:
On 10/18/23 at 10:06 AM, Surveyor received and reviewed side rail policy entitled: Restraint-free environment which includes .8. The resident may request assist and/or grab bars to allow for proper mobility, rise from the bed and/or maintain items within reach. An assessment of the grab bar must be performed to ensure resident safety and proper use. Assessment must also indicate that this is not a restraint. If assessment determines that the grab bar is a restraint, the restraint policy and procedure must be followed.
Example 1
