She said, The resident was in bed and was being transferred to her wheelchair. I was the one in control of the [mechanical lift]. [Staff C] was standing behind the chair, guiding her as I was turning the lift. Once she was over the chair, she was leaning a bit and was tipping to her right. The problem started when Staff B went to pull her to the chair, the lift was tipping and I called her, I said '[Staff B], she is about to fall!' We could not pull her. She was heavy. We were calling for help. We were both holding her, and her body was on top of the bedside table. We should have moved that out of the way. We were holding her, she is not particularly small, her feet were in a dangling position. I raised the lift all the way up. We were calling for help. Another resident went and got Staff D, CNA and another staff member, I don't remember her name. They came as we were lowering her down. She was all the way down when they got to the room. The nurse [Staff E, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)] came. She was kind of guiding us to position her. She told us to wait for EMS (Emergency Medical Service). It happened so fast we were trying to get her to the floor. We got her down to the floor and called 911. They came and helped lift her up. When we got her to bed, I saw she had an abrasion on the opposite leg, her left I believe. I notified the nurse. Later, the resident reported to Staff B that she had pain to her ankle. Staff B stated they talked about the incident later. Staff C was supposed to have had the resident ready. Her role was to help. Staff C was standing behind the chair the whole time.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few asked what had happened. Staff B said, I told them there were two of us in the room.

No one followed up with me after that. On 07/02/24 at 1:04 p.m., an interview was conducted with the ADON. She said, We were in a meeting when we were told [Resident #8] was on the floor. They were trying to put her in a chair before lunch. The Unit Manager Staff F, Registered Nurse (RN) went to the room and was told there were two CNAs in the room. The resident was on the floor. They said the lift was tilted and they lowered the resident to the floor. We asked if the lift base was open. That's what should have happened.

The ADON stated she could not speak to anything else. She stated she was not present. The ADON stated they concluded they had two staff in the room, and they followed the care plan.

She said she hit her leg on the bedside table. Staff F stated she removed that particular [mechanical lift] from the room and tagged it so no one could use it. She stated she did not remember the weight limit. She said, That was not a question we asked. We were trying to figure out if the [mechanical lift] was functioning properly. Staff F stated she did not ask the nurse what she meant by the lift was the problem. Staff F said she did not have her write a statement. I asked the two CNAs what happened, and their stories lined up. I did not ask how the injury happened. I did not collect any statements. I did not investigate it further. On 07/02/24 at 2:04 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Maintenance (DOM). He stated after the incident, he inspected the [mechanical lift] that was used to transfer the resident. He stated the [mechanical lift] was fully operational. He said, I would not know the weight limit. All I know was that there was nothing wrong with the lift.

She said, Based on our initial investigation, we did not find a reason to report. She stated a thorough investigation should have been conducted. Review of a facility policy titled, Falls and Fall risk-managing, dated 04/01/22, showed based on previous evaluations and current data the staff should identify interventions related to the residents specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling. Per the MDS (minimum data set) a fall is defined as unintentionally coming to rest on the ground, floor or other lower level but not as a result of an overwhelming external force (e.g. A resident pushes another resident). Fall risk factors include (d). Obstacles in the footpath. Under resident's centered approaches to managing falls and fall risk, (1.) The staff, with the input of the attending physician, should implement a resident-centered fall prevention plan to reduce the specific risk factor(s) of falls for each resident at risk with the history of falls. (7.) In conjunction with the attending physician, staff should identify and implement relevant interventions . to try to minimize serious consequences of falling. Under monitoring subsequent falls and fall risk (1.) The staff should monitor and document each resident's response to interventions intended to reduce falling or the risk of falling. (3.) If the resident continues to fall, staff should reevaluate the situation and whether it is appropriate to continue or change current interventions. (4.) The staff and all physician should document the basis of conclusions that specific irreversible risk factors exist that continue to present a risk or injury due to falls. 105482 Page 7 of 9 105482 07/02/2024 Breezy Hills Rehab and Care Center 5245 N Socrum Loop Rd Lakeland, FL 33809
