4558	PIONEER HEALTH OF CENTRAL GEORGIA	115564	712 PATTERSON STREET	BYROMVILLE	GA	31007	2016-12-10	497	D	0	1	QBL111	Based on review of personnel files and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs), employed by the facility for at least a year, had performance appraisals completed. Two of two CNA files reviewed (CNA AR and CNA AC) failed to have had a performance appraisal completed in the last year. Findings include: Nine CNA files were requested for review of performance appraisal completion (CNAs: AC,AU, AX, AL, BC, AZ, AY, AR, and BD). Review ofthe files showed two (CNA AR and CNA AC) of the nine CNAs had been employed by the facility for over a year; performance appraisals had not been completed for either employee. The Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed on 12/10/16 at 2:15 p.m. and verified neither CNA AC nor CNA AR, employed in excess of a year, had appraisals completed. The DON stated she had not checked into the requirement for CNA performance appraisals since coming on board as DON a month prior. The Administrator was interviewed on 12/10/16 at 3:45 p.m. and stated the facility had conducted some of the CNA performance appraisals due over the past year; however, administration had no money available for employee raises. The Administrator stated that conducting the appraisals without being able to award staff monetarily had created problems. A decision was made to forgo the appraisals until money was available to compensate employees for good performance.	2019-09-01
