painful. The Director of Rehab said Resident #14 reported that sometimes staff do not use the Sit-to-Stand
lift correctly and it pinches her skin.On 11/20/25 at 12:04 p.m., in an interview the ADON said Resident #14
sustained the bruise because the resident refused to use the support belt on the Sit-to-Stand mechanical
lift. The ADON said there was never a battery issue.When asked about intervening when she observed the
2 CNAs improperly place the sling to transfer the resident, she said, When they lifted her up, I needed to
see how they were transferring. The ADON said she did not realize the safety belt was not on until after
Resident #14 was in the air. The ADON said it would have been too dangerous to stop at the time.On
11/20/25 at 9:27 a.m., in an interview CNA Staff G said she did not work with Resident #14 in October 2025
and has never helped CNA Staff H with a resident transfer.On 11/20/25 at 1:59 p.m., in an interview CNA
Staff H said Resident #14 has always used a Sit-to- Stand mechanical lift and has never used a full body
mechanical lift. CNA Staff H said on 10/9/25 the lift stalled out during the transfer with 3 CNA students. She
said CNA Staff G was not present during the transfer. CNA Staff H said they lowered the resident using the
safety lever, retrieved a new battery and came back to complete the transfer. CNA Staff H said Resident
#14 never complained of pain or bruising to her left arm. CNA Staff H said she was suspended and when
she came back, she was told Resident #14 got a bruise from her which she said was not true.Review of the
Incident-IDT Team Initial Post Investigative Review dated 10/23/25 noted The specific CNA the resident
accused had not worked for a period of time and the bruise was new.On 11/20/25 at 12:33 p.m., in an
interview the Nursing Home Administrator said they think the incident happened on 10/9/25 but was not
reported until 10/21/25. The Nursing Home Administrator said CNA Staff H left Resident #14 with 3 student
CNAs when the battery went out mid transfer to go get a different battery. She said the CNA got the battery,
came back and lowered her. She said when it was reported on 10/21/25, the resident was unclear when it
happened. She said she made suggestions on when it may have happened and narrowed it down to the
two CNAs (CNA Staff G and CNA Staff H). The Nursing Home Administrator said the ADON reported the
bruises to be fresh and could not be more than 1 to 2 days old. The Nursing Home Administrator said she
believes Resident #14 sustained the bruise during transfer with the Sit-to-Stand mechanical lift because the
resident refused to use the safety belt. The Administrator said there was no documentation Resident #14
refused to use the safety belt before 10/21/25.
