Observations
Based on a review of personnel records, the facility failed to ensure that all staff persons and volunteers received a minimum of 4 hours of TB/STD training and other health related topics training using a Department approved curriculum in two of two personnel records. Counselors and counselor assistants shall complete the training within the first year of employment. All other staff shall complete the training within the first 2 years of employment.
The findings include:
On July 3, 2012, two employee records requiring documentation of 4 hours of TB/STD training were reviewed. The facility failed to ensure that two of two employees received at least 4 hours of TB/STD training, employees # 8 and 9.
Employee # 8, a house manager, was hired 1/31/09. TB/STD training was to have been completed within two years of employment or by 1/31/11. The facility failed to provide documentation of TB/STD training for employee # 8.
Employee # 9, a house manager, was hired 7/21/09. TB/STD training was to have been completed within two years of employment or by 7/21/11. The facility failed to provide documentation of TB/STD training for employee # 9.
This is a repeat citation. The facility was previously cited on January 18, 2012.

This will be done via quarterly employee chart reviews performed by the associate and program director. |
