R2's current care plan documents R2's transfer status with a mechanical lift.
On 2/25/25 at 1:40pm, R2 stated, I (R2) use a mechanical lift to get out of bed. One staff member comes in
to get me up with it (mechanical lift).
On 2/25/25 at 10:30am V7/Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) stated, I know I should not tell you this but, I
have been doing mechanical lift transfers by myself because there are only two of us (CNAs) working in the
(Memory Care/Dementia Unit) and it's too busy to wait for the other one to assist with the transfers. If I did
not do this my residents would not get laid down or changed like they should.
On 2/25/25 at 11:00am V8 and V9, both CNAs stated they are doing mechanical lifts by themselves most of
the time because it gets too busy to wait for someone to assist.
