reported to the Administrator when the Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant (COTA) went to get
Resident #1 for therapy, she found the resident in his room, in his wheelchair with a sitter. The resident had
a gait belt around his abdomen and secured to the back of the wheelchair. The resident was assessed and
there were no injuries.
The investigation noted Resident #1's sitter said in an interview that she was assigned to provide one to
one supervision to Resident #1 during the alleged incident. She said she had been assigned to the resident
for a double shift starting at 10:00 p.m. She said Resident #1 for up at around 5:00 a.m. Resident #1 kept
getting up. The therapist came by and said she would be right back to bring the resident to therapy. The
sitter said she put the gait belt on because Resident #1 kept getting up. She said she was holding onto the
gait belt with the resident in the wheelchair waiting for the therapist to return. It was only a few seconds and
she did not attach the gait belt to the wheelchair.
