F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to develop a resident centered care plan for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) after the facility identified a safety concern in which Resident 1's Responsible Party (RP) 1 was observed utilizing the Hoyer lift (a mechanical device used to lift and/or transfer a person) without calling staff for assistance to transfer Resident 1 from the bed to the chair. This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 1's specific care needs and treatment to not be addressed and had the potential for Resident 1 to sustain falls due to unsafe transfers in and out of bed. During a record review of the admission record (AR) dated 12/7/2025, the AR indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with medical diagnoses that included muscle wasting (weakening, shrinking, and loss of muscle), Abnormal posture (involuntary/rigid body positioning), unspecified dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities). During a record review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H & P) dated 10/7/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 does not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool) dated 12/18/2025, the MDS indicated that Resident 1's cognitive skills (related to thinking, reasoning, decision-making and problem solving) were moderately impaired. The MDS further indicated Resident 1 required substantial/maximal assistance on staff for personal hygiene, lower body dressing, shower/bathe self, toileting hygiene, and dependent (helper does all of the effort) on toilet transfers, chair/bed-to-chair. During a review of Resident 1's Care Plan for High Risk for Fall and Injury, revised on 12/19/25, the Care Plan indicated interventions for frequent reminder regarding safety. During a review of Resident 1's Care Plan for at Risk for Falls, revised on 12/19/25, the Care Plan interventions indicated to educate the resident/family/caregivers about safety reminders and to alter remove any potential causes. During a record review of Resident 1's Progress Notes dated 11/17/2025 at 2:58 PM, the Notes indicated that the Interdisciplinary team (IDT - a team of staff, resident or their representative that meet to discuss needed care and treatments of the residents) met with Resident 1's daughters regarding a safety issue in which staff had observed the family transferring Resident 1 from the chair to the bed without the staff assistance. During an interview on 12/29/2025 at 10:41 AM with Resident 1's representative (RP 1), RP 1 stated that RP 1 assists Resident 1 with care at times and that Resident 1 prefers to be suspended up on the Hoyer lift (a mechanical device used to lift and/or transfer a person) when having a bowel movement. RP 1 stated that a couple of weeks ago RP 1 used the Hoyer lift without staff assistance to transfer Resident 1 from the chair to the bed. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/29/2025 at 1:14 PM inside Resident 1's room, the Hoyer lift was observed next to Resident's 1 bed. Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA 1) stated that Resident 1 required the Hoyer lift for transfers and that CNA 1 had used the Hoyer lift for a transfer for Resident 1 with the assistance from another staff a Restorative Nurse Assistant (RNA 1).

During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/29/2025 at 3:45 PM with the Director of Nurses (DON) Resident 1 Progress Notes dated 11/17/2025 at 2:58 PM was reviewed. The progress notes indicated the IDT had a meeting with Resident's 1 family members with the safety concern of family transferring Resident 1 with the use of the Hoyer lift without staff assistance. DON stated the care plan for non-compliance or lack of knowledge was not initiated for Resident 1 to indicate that the Hoyer lift should not to be stored inside Resident 1's room.
