What happens when a nurse aide is referred to the Nurse Aide Registry for an allegation of abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of a resident’s property in a nursing facility?
DADS reviews and investigates allegations of abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of resident property by a nurse aide employed in a facility. Before entry of the finding on the Nurse Aide Registry, DADS will provide the nurse aide an opportunity to demonstrate compliance with the law through an informal reconsideration and a formal hearing.
