(mobility/functional status) and requires the use of (mechanical lift).On 8/20/2025 at 9:33 AM, R3 stated,
Several months ago during resident council I complained about the (mechanical lifts) not always working
and the machines being dead when they need to use them. I talked with (V1) about them and (V5,
Ombudsman). (V1) told me he will get some new batteries. (V5) has been sick but she usually always
follows up with stuff. I am not sure what is happening. I usually, like to lay down at 4 PM. Some of the staff
know that I like to lay down around and (V6, CNA) she is really good about asking me I want to lay down
because she knows me. Over the weekend (V6) told me she could not put me down because the
(mechanical lift) was not working. I was really tired, and I wanted to lay down and I had to wait an hour and
a half for the battery to charge so she could put me to bed. I was so upset and in tears. This is supposed to
be my home and when I am tired, and I need help they should help me back in bed when I need it. It's
August now and they are still having problems with the (mechanical lift) and putting me down.On 8/20/2025
at 12:55 PM, V5, Ombudsman stated, Working (mechanical lifts) have been on ongoing issue for the past
several months. When staff need the (mechanical lifts) they are not available to lay residents down and or
get residents up. (V1) is a new administrator and I believe he started at the end of May as he was at the
May Resident Council Meeting. (V1) said in May that he would order new batteries for the lifts. Residents
are saying the lifts are not available mostly during the weekends. I personally, observed the (mechanical lift)
being dead on 8/5/2025 and no staff used the manual lift and residents were not transferred. Residents and
staff are still saying it is an issue that they are not getting transferred because the lifts are not available
and/or the staff do not want to use the other lifts.On 8/20/2025 at 11:03 AM, V7, Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA) stated, We are constantly having issues with the (mechanical lifts) working. First, they told us it was
a battery issue, and they were getting new batteries, but it is still a problem.On 8/20/2025 at 11:05 AM, V8,
