Follow-up·June 21, 2022

Donna Gurriere, Licensing Program Analyst was in contact and met with Ivy Garner, Assistant Administrator. LPA Gurriere completed the required COVID-19 testing protocols, and a daily self-screening questionnaire for symptoms of COVID 19 infection to affirm no COVID-19 related symptoms. The administrator/staff person was contacted to complete a facility risk assessment. LPA Gurriere ensured that hand sanitizer was applied before entering the facility and the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) was worn: N-95 mask. Additionally, LPA Gurriere was screened by a staff person upon entering the facility. The purpose of the case management visit is to advise Ms. Garner that It was reported that during a complaint visit on 04/12/22, the staff persons at the facility used a Hoyer Lift to transport a resident from her bed to the bathroom. Administrator and staff did not feel that there was an issue, as two staff persons assisted in making the transfer. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the Hoyer Lift is only to be used to transfer a resident from the bed to the wheelchair or to a bedside commode. A Hoyer Lift is not to be used as any type of “transfer” from one room to the next. Administrator agrees that she understands the purpose of a Hoyer Lift. No deficiencies cited.
