**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, review of facility policies and procedures, resident and staff interviews the facility failed to
follow the established plan of care for safe transfer, resulting in an avoidable fall and fall related major injury
for 1 (Resident #3) of 3 residents reviewed.
The findings included:
Review of the clinical record for Resident #3 revealed an admission date of 7/4/24. Diagnoses included
morbid obesity and left artificial knee joint.
The 5-day scheduled Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with a target date of 9/2/24 noted Resident #3
was dependent (Helper does all of the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity) for
toilet transfer (Ability to safely get on and off a toilet or commode). Resident #3's cognition was intact with a
Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 15.
The care plan initiated on 7/5/24 noted the resident had Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Deficit with a goal to
improve ADLs. The interventions included and specified the use of a full body mechanical lift with
assistance of two for transfers.
Resident #3 received Physical and Occupational Therapy.
Review of Occupational Therapy Discharge summary dated [DATE] noted Resident #3 required
substantial/maximal assistance with toilet transfer.
The Physical Therapy Discharge summary dated [DATE] noted Resident #3 required partial/moderate
assistance with toilet transfer.
On 10/20/24 at 6:31 p.m., an incident progress note documented on 10/20/24 at approximately 4:45 p.m.,
the nurse was at the nurses station. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff A came to the nurses station
and said, Quick help. The nurse followed the CNA to Resident #3's room and observed the resident sitting
on her buttocks on the floor in front of the toilet. The resident's right lower extremity was in abnormal
alignment with the right foot externally rotated. Resident #3 complained of right foot pain and denied hitting
her head. Resident #3 stated, It's my fault, I told her (CNA Staff A) I could do it with just her. The nurse
immediately called 911 and prepared transfer paperwork as a Registered Nurse stayed with the resident to
monitor. EMS (Emergency Medical Services) arrived and transferred Resident #3 to a local hospital.

(Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0689
Resident #3 was diagnosed with a displaced comminuted (bone shatters into multiple pieces) fracture of
the shaft of the right tibia requiring surgical repair.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Resident #3 returned to the facility on [DATE].
Residents Affected - Few
Review of CNA Staff A's handwritten statement obtained during the incident investigation noted she did not
see a sling (used to transfer resident with a full body mechanical lift) behind Resident #3 when the resident
asked for assistance to the toilet. Resident #3 said she was no longer using the sling as she was better
now. When CNA Staff A said she was going to get help, Resident #3 asked CNA Staff A to use the walker
to put her on the toilet. CNA Staff A wrote she placed the walker in front of the resident and locked the
wheelchair. Resident #3 had her hand on the walker while the CNA was holding the resident's left side to
transfer her to the toilet. Resident #3 said, I am going to the floor. CNA Staff A tried to pull the wheelchair
but it was locked. Resident #3 fell to the floor.
Review of the facility's investigation analysis revealed CNA Staff A did not check the Individual Service Plan
(Provides instruction for safe care) for proper instruction on how to transfer the resident.
On 11/20/24 at 1:18 p.m., in an interview Resident #3 said she told CNA Staff A she did not need the
mechanical lift or a second staff member to assist with the transfer. She said sometimes her knees give out.
She told Staff A she was going down, but the CNA was by herself and could not prevent her from falling.
On 11/20/24 at 4:14 p.m., in an interview CNA Staff A verified on 10/20/24 she did not use the full body
mechanical lift and did not request assistance from a second staff to assist with the resident's transfer. She
said when Resident #3 told her she no longer needed the full body mechanical lift or additional staff for
transfer she did not verify the information with the nurse or the care plan.
On 11/21/24 at 1:39 p.m., in an interview Physical Therapist Staff C said Resident #3 was receiving
cortisone (steroid) injections for knee problems, and her knees give out on occasion. The plan was to
provide additional training to the CNAs but the training did not occur since the resident was transferred to
the hospital after the fall.
On 11/21/24 at 3:43 p.m., in an interview the Director of Nursing (DON) said after Resident #3's fall, she
provided training to the nurses and the CNAs on transferring dependent residents and use of mechanical
lifts. The DON provided documentation of training for 19 of 39 direct care nursing staff (Licensed nurses
and CNAs). She verified she did not train all the nurses and CNAs and the training did not include
accessing individual service plans on the computer before transfer to ensure the safety of the residents.
On 11/22/24 at 1:01 p.m., in an interview the Administrator said the DON was responsible for ensuring the
nurses and CNAs were trained and competent to perform their duties. She said she could not locate
documentation of transfer training, skills assessment, or use of the computer to access residents care plans
in CNA Staff A personnel file.
