Continued from LIC9099 one of the leg slings came off causing R1’s body weight to shift and fall. The two staff members assisting R1 focused on helping their upper body because they didn’t want R1 to hit their head. R1’s toe and ankle hit the metal of the hoyer lift because R1’s legs are not functional and R1 cannot move them. Per interview, on 08/17/2025, R1 was observed to have no apparent injuries and an internal incident report was made. On 08/18/2025, R1 was observed to have redness so R1’s Responsible Party and Primary Care Physician were notified. Facility requested a home health nurse to come to the facility for further assessment. Review of R1’s incident reports showed that on 08/22/2025, they were sent to the ER where it was found that they had a fractured big toe and ankle.
