F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some lift. She did not open the legs of the base when simulating placing and lifting a resident in the lift and wheeling the lift. She only opened the legs of the base when simulating lowering the resident in the chair. CNA Staff A said, We open (the legs of the base) when we stop moving before we put the resident in the bed or chair. It will tip if the bottom (legs of the base) is open when moving. On 2/12/24, review of CNA Staff A's employee file revealed a date of hire of 9/6/21. The most recent computer based training for mechanical lifts and transfers was completed on 9/5/23, and a competency completed on 10/23/23. On 2/12/24 at 4:35 p.m., in an interview CNA Staff B confirmed on 1/22/24 she was operating the full body mechanical lift to transfer Resident #1. CNA Staff B said Resident #1 kept shaking and saying, I'm going to fall. She said, When we were moving to the bed he turned and twisted, the machine tipped over but did not fall over. The machine did not fall on him. The other CNAs grabbed him and held him while I lowered him to the floor. The bottom of the lift is always open. We open it with our feet but sometimes it closes again. I know I opened it, but it might have closed on its own, I don't know for sure. When asked how to select the sling for each resident, she replied, We find them in the room, just what fits right. On 2/12/24, review of CNA Staff B's employee file revealed a date of hire of 4/27/2010. The most recent computer based training for mechanical lifts and transfers was completed on 12/11/23.

RN Staff K said, I went with three care givers. Everything was fine until the last part when moving him to the new bed. He got upset; he fell. The CNA in the corner tried to carry the man's weight on her. Unfortunately, we had to put him on the floor. I assessed the resident, and I stayed in the room. I had one nurse text the ARNP (Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner) and one call 911. RN Staff K said she did not receive too much training on mechanical lifts. She said she never participate in the actual lift. She helps placing the sling but the CNAs do all the work. RN Staff K said she did not know the size of the sling used to transfer Resident #1 but she never tells the CNAs what size of sling to use. She said, They all know, they know what to use, they are very smart. On 2/12/24 review of RN Staff K's employee file revealed a date of hire of 9/6/22 and a competency for mechanical lift use dated 9/2/23. On 2/13/24 at 9:30 a.m., in an interview the Director of Nursing (DON) said the expectation was to widen the legs of the base for patient safety. He said as they clear the lift from under the bed, the legs of the base need to be open. It is very important so that it leveled and weight distribution is even, and a wide center of gravity. The DON said, correct base widening decreases the tipping potential. On 2/13/24 at 9:41 a.m., CNA Staff H and CNA Staff I were observed using a Brand A full body mechanical lift to transfer Resident #20 from bed to wheelchair with a size large Brand A sling with visible green trim.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety On 2/13/24 at approximately 10:00 a.m., CNA Staff H verified she did not open the legs of the base when transferring Resident #20 with the full body mechanical lift. She said, If I try to move her with the legs open it could tip over. We only open them when we are placing the resident in the bed or the chair. CNA Staff H verified she used a (Manufacturer A) large sling to transfer Resident #20 and said the CNAs choose the sling based on the resident's weight. Residents Affected - Some Review of the clinical record for Resident #20 revealed the resident's current weight was 163.8 lbs. Review of Manufacturer A's Full Body & Stand-Up Lift Sling Sizing Chart noted sling size and fit can vary significantly depending on patient weight and girth. Consult physician before sling selection. The sling sizing chart noted a medium sling was for weight range of 90 t0 200 lbs. The Owner's Operator and Maintenance Manual for Brand A Patient Slings noted under warning, [Brand A] slings are made specifically for use with [Brand A] lifts. For the safety of the patient, DO NOT intermix slings and lifts of different manufacturers. Review of Brand C mechanical lift owner manual noted to use only Manufacturer Brand C branded slings. On 2/13/24 at 12:50 p.m., the DON said the facility ordered standard medium and large slings. He said the CNAs evaluate the residents to determine the size of sling to use. He verified the sling size was not on the CNA Kardex (provides instructions for care) and the lack of documentation the CNAs were trained and competent to determine the size of sling to use in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. On 2/15/24 at 9:20 a.m., in an interview Unit Manager RN Staff J said on 1/22/24 she was working when Resident #1 fell from the lift. She said, I was sitting at the desk on 300 hall, and I heard a noise. We jumped up and ran into the room where he was sitting against the wall; the [brand name] lift was tilted over and was leaning on his wheelchair. The sling was still under him, and the loops were still attached. They told me they got him up, weighed him because they got him a new, wider bed, and air mattress with the little side rails. The staff said that the resident grabbed side rail and that is how he scratched his arm. Unit Manager RN Staff J said she did not remember the color of the sling used. Said she notified the administrator of the fall. The Administrator came in with the maintenance man. They took the lift into the conference room and had the staff demonstrate how they did the procedure. Unit manager RN Staff J confirmed the staff demonstrated that the legs in the lift base were closed when they were moving the resident in the lift, the lift tilted over and leaned against wheelchair. RN Staff J said, He did not fall. I know technically it was a fall since he was on the floor, but it was controlled. RN Staff J said when she entered the room after the event, the base was straight because that is the way they have it when they are moving to the bed. Unit Manager Staff J confirmed the legs of the base were closed, and straight, and the mechanical lift was tilted against the resident's wheelchair. She said, The CNA was half under him trying to hold up the resident, so we moved him to the floor. He was a big man.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some the base wide with the foot control when transferring Resident #1 with the full body mechanical lift. She said it (legs of the base) is supposed to stay open but when they turned the machine it closed on its own. CNA Staff B said, The resident was upset and moving. He was grabbing at the bed and the machine tilted over. We did everything we could but could not stop it. She confirmed the legs of the base closed on their own when the machine tilted over and she reported it to the Administrator. On 2/15/24 at 10:30 a.m., in an interview the Administrator said the CNA did not tell her the legs of the base closed on their own when the fall occurred. She said, The statement that I took was that the legs were open. We removed the lift, and an outside company is coming next week to check the lift. The Administrator said after the incident on 1/22/24 they did a reenactment with the lift used to transfer Resident #2. She said she did not have documentation of the reenactment or the Maintenance Director assessing the lift after the incident. The Administrator verified the facility did not identify the failure of the legs of the base to lock into place as a contributing factor of Resident #1's fall on 1/22/24. On 2/15/24 at 10:45 a.m., mechanical lift (Brand A) used on 1/22/24 to transfer Resident #1 was observed with the Maintenance Director. The Maintenance Director verified on 1/22/24 he inspected the mechanical lift used to transfer Resident #1 and did not think it was broken. He verified the motor of the lift was missing. The Maintenance Director said the motor had been missing since he started employment at the facility on 7/5/23. He demonstrated how staff opened the legs of the base by kicking the frame of the legs. The legs of the base did not lock into place. The Maintenance Director said it was possible for the legs to move easily during transfer if the base was bumped. He said the motor was connected to the legs and would lock them in place. He said since the motor has been removed, there was no locking feature. He said he has been checking the lift monthly since 7/2023 and did not realize it should have had a brake handle or a motor to ensure the legs of the base stayed open while in use. On 2/15/24 at 11:00 a.m., the mechanical lift used to transfer Resident #1 on 1/22/24 was observed with the Administrator, the Maintenance Director, and the DON. The Maintenance Director opened the legs of the base by kicking them with his foot. The DON demonstrated and verified the legs of the base closed easily and did not lock into position. When asked if this was the condition of the lift on 1/22/24 when Resident #1 fell from the lift, the Administrator said, Yes it is. When asked if staff kicked open the legs of the base during the reenactment she conducted on 1/22/24, the Administrator said, I don't remember. I can only go by the witness statements I obtained where she said the base was open. When asked if the lift was safe to use she said, No it's not. On 2/15/24 at 11:15 a.m., the DON verified the mechanical lift used to transfer Resident #1 on 1/22/24 did not have a motor and the legs of the base did not lock into place. He said it was unacceptable and unsafe for resident use. He said he was not aware the lift was broken and didn't know how unsafe it was. He said, The staff should never have been using it. On 2/15/24 at 12:50 p.m., in an interview the Maintenance Director said he previously worked at an Assisted Living Facility and they did not use mechanical lifts. He said when he started employment at the facility, There was no orientation. He said the person who hired him filled out a list by asking him if he knew about different systems like fire alarms and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) but, I don't think it comprised any medical equipment.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, review of facility's policies and procedures, and staff interviews, the facility failed to implement processes to prevent accidents by failing to ensure staff followed manufacturer's safety recommendations during transfer with mechanical lift, and failing to ensure mechanical lifts were in safe operating condition. On 1/22/24 staff used a full body mechanical lift to transfer Resident #1. The motor of the lift had been removed making the locking mechanism inoperable. Resident #1 fell from the lift, sustained cuts to the left arm, complained of head trauma and pain all over. Resident #1 required an emergent transfer to an acute care hospital for evaluation and treatment. The failure of staff to follow manufacturer's safety recommendations for transfer with mechanical lifts created an unsafe environment of avoidable accidents or falls which has a likelihood to result in serious injury (i.e. Fractures, head injuries), impairment, or death of residents from avoidable accidents, and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy. On 2/15/24 at 6:58 p.m., the Administrator was notified of the determination of Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) and provided the IJ templates. The Immediate Jeopardy began on 1/22/24. The facility census was 113 with 19 residents who were transferred with full body mechanical lifts. The facility used three different brands of mechanical lifts. On 2/16/24, after verification of an acceptable Immediate Jeopardy removal plan, the Immediate Jeopardy was removed as of 2/16/24. The scope and severity were reduced to no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy. The findings included: Cross reference to F600, F835 and F908. 1. Review of the clinical record for Resident #1 revealed an admission date 1/19/2024. Diagnoses included morbid obesity; muscle wasting and atrophy; need for assistance with personal care; and difficulty in walking. The care plan initiated on 1/20/24 noted Resident #1 had an activities of daily living (ADL) self-care performance deficit. The interventions included the use of a, total mechanical lift to chair. Review of the progress notes revealed on 1/22/24 at 8:40 p.m., Registered Nurse (RN) Staff K documented Resident #1 was being transferred with a mechanical lift to a new bed with three staff members.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety The fall investigation dated 1/22/24 at 10:24 p.m., noted Resident #1 was oriented to person, place, time, and situation at the time of the incident. The investigation did not list any predisposing environmental factors, and noted, Resident attempts to grab and self-position side to side during transfer causing lift to tip to side. Resident #1 was transferred to an acute care hospital via Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Residents Affected - Some The facility's internal investigation of the fall included staff statements but did not include documentation Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff A, CNA Staff B, CNA Staff C, or RN Staff K inspected the mechanical lift and the sling for condition as per the facility's Skills Check for Total Lift to ensure the mechanical lift was in safe operating condition. The investigation did not include verification that staff used safe transfer technique per manufacturer's guidelines. Review of the manufacturer's guidelines for full body mechanical lift (Brand A) used to transfer Resident #1 noted under operation section, The legs of the lift must be in the maximum open position for optimum stability and safety. If it is necessary to close the legs of the lift to maneuver the lift under a bed, close the legs of the lift only as long as it takes to position the lift over the patient and lift the patient off the surface of the bed. When the legs of the lift are no longer under the bed, return the legs of the lift to the maximum open position. The facility's policy and procedure titled, Lock Out/ Tag out Policy effective March 2022 noted, The facility will use the Lock Out/ Tag Out practices to secure inoperable equipment .

Consult physician before sling selection. The sling sizing chart noted a medium sling was for weight range of 90 to 200 lbs. On 2/15/24 at 8:50 a.m., in a follow up telephone interview CNA Staff B said on 1/22/24 she opened the base wide with the foot control when transferring Resident #1 with the full body mechanical lift. She confirmed the legs of the base closed on their own when the machine tilted over and she reported it to the Administrator. On 2/15/24 at 10:30 a.m., in an interview the Administrator said the CNA did not tell her the legs of the base closed on their own when the fall occurred. She said, The statement that I took was that the legs were open. We removed the lift, and an outside company is coming next week to check the lift. The Administrator said she did not have documentation of the reenactment or the Maintenance Director assessing the lift after the incident. The Administrator verified the facility's investigation did not consider the failure of the legs of the base to lock into place as a contributing factor of Resident #1's fall on 1/22/24. On 2/15/24 at 10:45 a.m., mechanical lift (Brand A) used on 1/22/24 to transfer Resident #1 was observed with the Maintenance Director. The motor of the lift was missing. The Maintenance Director said the motor has been missing since he started employment at the facility on 7/5/24. He demonstrated how staff opened the legs of the base by kicking the frame of the legs. The legs of the base did not lock into place. The Maintenance Director said it was possible for the legs to move easily during transfer if the base was bumped. He said the motor was connected to the legs and would lock them in place. He said since the motor has been removed, there was no locking feature. He said he has been checking the lift monthly since 7/2023 and did not realize it should have had a brake handle or a motor to ensure the legs of the base stayed open while in use. On 2/15/24 at 11:00 a.m., the mechanical lift used to transfer Resident #1 on 1/22/24 was observed with the Administrator, the Maintenance Director, and the DON. The Maintenance Director opened the legs of the base by kicking them with his foot. The DON demonstrated and verified the legs of the base closed easily and did not lock into position. When asked if this was the condition of the lift on 1/22/24 when Resident #1 fell from the lift, the Administrator said, Yes it is. When asked if staff kicked open the legs of the base during the reenactment she conducted on 1/22/24, the Administrator said, I don't remember. I can only go by the witness statements I obtained where she said the base was open. When asked if the lift was safe to use she said, No it's not. On 2/15/24 at 11:15 a.m., the DON verified the mechanical lift used to transfer Resident #1 on 1/22/24 did not have a motor and the legs of the base did not lock into place. He said it was unacceptable and unsafe for resident use. He said he was not aware the lift was broken and didn't know how unsafe it was. He said, The staff should never have been using it. 2.

F 0726 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some givers. Everything was fine until the last part when moving him to the new bed. He got upset; he fell. The CNA in the corner tried to carry the man's weight on her. Unfortunately, we had to put him on the floor. I assessed the resident, and I stayed in the room. I had one nurse text the ARNP (Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner) and one call 911. RN Staff K said she did not receive too much training on mechanical lifts. She said she never participate in the actual lift. She helps placing the sling but the CNAs do all the work. On 2/13/24 at 9:41 a.m., CNA Staff H and CNA Staff I were observed using a full body mechanical lift to transfer Resident #20 from bed to wheelchair. Staff H placed the legs of the base under the resident's bed and lifted the resident in the sling. The CNA did not open the legs of the base. She pulled the legs of the base from under the bed, turned the lift to the right and wheeled the resident in the lift approximately three feet without opening the legs of the base. She opened the legs of the base when she lowered Resident #20 into the wheelchair. On 2/13/24 at approximately 10:00 a.m., CNA Staff H verified she did not open the legs of the base when transferring Resident #20 with the full body mechanical lift. She said, If I try to move her with the legs open it could tip over. We only open them when we are placing the resident in the bed or the chair. Review of the manufacturer's guidelines for full body mechanical lift (Brand A) used to transfer Resident #1 noted under operation section, The legs of the lift must be in the maximum open position for optimum stability and safety. If it is necessary to close the legs of the lift to maneuver the lift under a bed, close the legs of the lift only as long as it takes to position the lift over the patient and lift the patient off the surface of the bed. When the legs of the lift are no longer under the bed, return the legs of the lift to the maximum open position. On 2/14/24 at 1:50 p.m., in a telephone interview the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) said on 1/22/24 after the fall involving Resident #1, We got called in, we had them reenact the situation in both the conference room and in the resident's room with (Brand A) mechanical lift and sling and all four staff members. I saw no concerns in the reenactments. The resident became anxious and fearful and grabbed onto bed. That is when it tipped towards staff. They were in the process of spreading out the base, is what they told me. She confirmed she did not document the reenactments or any additional post fall staff education. On 2/15/24 at 10:45 a.m., mechanical lift (Brand A) used on 1/22/24 to transfer Resident #1 was observed with the Maintenance Director. The motor of the lift was missing. The Maintenance Director said the motor has been missing since he started employment at the facility on 7/5/24. He demonstrated how staff opened the legs of the base by kicking the frame of the legs. The legs of the base did not lock into place. The Maintenance Director said it was possible for the legs to move easily during transfer if the base was bumped. He said the motor was connected to the legs and would lock them in place. He said since the motor has been removed, there was no locking feature. He said he has been checking the lift monthly since 7/2023 and did not realize it should have had a brake handle or a motor to ensure the legs of the base stayed open while in use. On 2/16/24 at 2:45 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) said the nurses were responsible to supervise the CNAs and nursing leadership was responsible to ensure care is provided safely. He verified the lift used to transfer Resident #1 on 1/22/24 was broken and should not have been in use. He said on 1/22/24 the ADON should have identified the mechanical lift was broken and should not have been in use.

On 2/15/24 at 8:50 a.m., in a follow up telephone interview CNA Staff B said on 1/22/24 she opened the base wide with the foot control when transferring Resident #1 with the full body mechanical lift. She confirmed the legs of the base closed on their own when the machine tilted over and she reported it to the Administrator. On 2/15/24 at 10:30 a.m., in an interview the Administrator said the CNA did not tell her the legs of the base closed on their own when the fall occurred. She said, The statement that I took was that the legs were open. We removed the lift, and an outside company is coming next week to check the lift. The Administrator said she did not have documentation of the reenactment or the Maintenance Director assessing the lift after the incident. The Administrator verified the facility's investigation did not consider the failure of the legs of the base to lock into place as a contributing factor of Resident #1's fall on 1/22/24. On 2/15/24 at 10:45 a.m., mechanical lift (Brand A) used on 1/22/24 to transfer Resident #1 was observed with the Maintenance Director. The motor of the lift was missing. The Maintenance Director said the motor has been missing since he started employment at the facility on 7/5/24. He demonstrated how staff opened the legs of the base by kicking the frame of the legs. The legs of the base did not lock into place. The Maintenance Director said it was possible for the legs to move easily during transfer if the base was bumped. He said the motor was connected to the legs and would lock them in place. He said since the motor has been removed, there was no locking feature. He said he has been checking the lift monthly since 7/2023 and did not realize it should have had a brake handle or a motor to ensure the legs of the base stayed open while in use. On 2/15/24 at 11:00 a.m., the mechanical lift used to transfer Resident #1 on 1/22/24 was observed with the Administrator, the Maintenance Director, and the DON. The Maintenance Director opened the legs of the base by kicking them with his foot. The DON demonstrated and verified the legs of the base closed easily and did not lock into position. When asked if this was the condition of the lift on 1/22/24 when Resident #1 fell from the lift, the Administrator said, Yes it is. When asked if staff kicked open the legs of the base during the reenactment she conducted on 1/22/24, the Administrator said, I don't remember. I can only go by the witness statements I obtained where she said the base was open.

He said it was unacceptable and unsafe for resident use. He said he was not aware the lift was broken and didn't know how unsafe it was. He said, The staff should never have been using it. Residents Affected - Few On 2/15/24 at 12:35 p.m., in an interview the Administrator said she was the Risk Manager for the facility and participated in the interviewing and hiring process of the Maintenance Director. On 2/15/24 at 12:40 p.m., the Regional Physical Plant Consultant said he took over the facility in December 2023 and did not hire the Maintenance Director. He said the Administrator was the Maintenance Director's supervisor. He said the process for checking the lifts is that the equipment should be working to manufacturer's recommendations. If not, it needs to be removed from service. The Regional Physical Plant Consultant said the electronic maintenance checklist said to check the bar on the mechanical lift. He would have expected the Maintenance Director to notice the missing part and identify the lift should not have been in use. He said, I was unaware, I would have pulled it myself if I was aware. He said he was surprised the Maintenance Director did not have more experience with medical equipment. On 2/15/24 at 12:50 p.m., in an interview the Maintenance Director said he previously worked at an Assisted Living Facility and they do not use mechanical lifts. He said when he started employment at the facility, There was no orientation. The person who hired him filled out a list by asking him if he knew about different systems like fire alarms and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning). I don't think it comprised any medical equipment. He said he was told to review the electronic maintenance system and follow the checklists. He said he did not know the lift used to transfer Resident #1 had motor at one time. The first time he inspected the lift, he asked a CNA how it worked. The CNA demonstrated by using her feet to open the legs of the base. The Maintenance Director said, I thought it was okay since the staff showed me and did not tell me it was wrong. I did not have enough knowledge to safely assess the lifts. The Maintenance Director job description noted, The Maintenance Director is responsible for the overall maintenance of the Facility . ensures the facility, equipment and utilities are maintained in good working order .

She stated the facility has initiated an investigation into the event of 1/22/24 and submitted a report to the State Survey Agency as required. 2. Review of the manufacturer's guidelines for full body mechanical lift (Brand A) used to transfer Resident #1 noted under operation section, The legs of the lift must be in the maximum open position for optimum stability and safety. If it is necessary to close the legs of the lift to maneuver the lift under a bed, close the legs of the lift only as long as it takes to position the lift over the patient and lift the patient off the surface of the bed. When the legs of the lift are no longer under the bed, return the legs of the lift to the maximum open position. On 2/12/24 at 2:02 p.m., in an interview, when asked about the process to transfer residents with a full body mechanical lift, CNA Staff E said, I start raising the lift, I put chair in good spot after pulling out from under bed, pull out, go over to the chair and then open legs so I can fit under chair. When asked to clarify when to open the legs of the base, CNA Staff E confirmed she only opens the legs of the base when she has stopped moving the lift and is placing the resident in bed or chair. On 2/12/24 at 4:00 p.m., in an interview CNA Staff A said on 2/1/24 she was assisting transferring Resident #1 to a new bed with a full body mechanical lift. She said there were people on all sides. There were three people because, he was so big. When he was very close to the bed, Resident #1 grabbed the straps and twisted himself. The lift started to tip to the left and he tried to grab the bed. CNA Staff A said, Yes, he fell to the floor because he was twisting. We tried to catch and guide him but we can do nothing. She said CNA Staff B held the machine to control him to the ground and the machine tilted over. CNA Staff A simulated the process to transfer residents with a full body mechanical lift. She did not inspect the lift or the sling before simulating the transfer. She did not open the legs of the base when simulating placing and lifting a resident in the lift and wheeling the lift. She only opened the legs of the base when simulating lowering the resident in the chair. CNA Staff A said, We open (the legs of the base) when we stop moving before we put the resident in the bed or chair. It will tip if the bottom (legs of the base) is open when moving. On 2/13/24 at 9:10 a.m., in an interview RN Staff K verified on 2/1/24 she was in the room when Resident #1 was being transferred with the mechanical lift. RN Staff K said, I went with three care givers. Everything was fine until the last part when moving him to the new bed. He got upset; he fell. RN Staff K said she did not receive too much training on mechanical lifts. She said she never participate in the actual lift. She helps placing the sling but the CNAs do all the work. On 2/13/24 at 9:41 a.m., CNA Staff H and CNA Staff I were observed using a full body mechanical lift (Brand A) to transfer Resident #20 from bed to wheelchair with a size large sling with visible green trim. Staff H placed the legs of the base under the resident's bed and lifted the resident in the sling. The CNA did not open the legs of the base.

Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Based on observation, record review, and staff interviews, the facility failed to implement processes to ensure resident equipment was in safe operating condition. Residents Affected - Some On 1/22/24 Staff used a full body mechanical lift to transfer Resident #1. Resident #1 fell from the mechanical lift, sustained cuts, complained of head trauma and generalized pain requiring an emergent transfer to an acute care hospital. The motor of the lift had been removed since July 2023 causing the legs of the base to not lock to ensure a safe transfer. Staff responsible for the inspection and maintenance of the mechanical lifts did not have the training and competency to ensure the mechanical lifts were in safe operating condition. The facility failure to implement processes and ensure resident care equipment were in safe operating condition created an unsafe environment of avoidable falls and accidents with a likelihood of serious harm, impairment or death of residents who use a mechanical lift for transfers and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy (IJ). On 2/15/24 at 6:58 p.m., the Administrator was informed of the determination of Immediate Jeopardy and provided the IJ templates. The facility census was 113 with 19 residents who were transferred with mechanical lifts. The facility used three different brands of mechanical lifts for transfers. The Immediate Jeopardy began on 1/22/24. On 2/16/24, after the facility submitted an acceptable Immediate Jeopardy removal plan, the Immediate Jeopardy was removed as of 2/16/24 and the scope and severity were reduced to no actual harm, with no more than minimal harm.
