The findings include:
On May 19, 2025, at 1:10 PM, V14 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) stated, her, V9 (LPN) and V12 (Dietary
Manager) got into a verbal altercation at the nurses' station. V9 and her work the night shift. They were
giving report to the oncoming day shift when V12 (Dietary Manager) overheard them talking about their
concerns with the dinner meal the night before. He was calling us wussies and telling us that the menu is
planned out by a dietitian. V14 admitted to calling the dietitian a dumb b****. Another staff member (V22
Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) saw what was happening and told her to stop and leave it alone. She
admitted to saying 2 cuss words. R33 was up and sitting by the nurses' station.
On May 19, 2025, at 1:43 PM, V22 (CNA) stated, V12 (Dietary Manager), V9 (LPN) and V14 (LPN) were
arguing at shift change. V12 was punching in the time clock (which is right by the nurses' station) and
overheard V9 and V14 were upset about the dinner the night before and residents were hungry. He got
defensive and very aggressive verbally. He was saying the dietitian makes the menu and they follow the
menu. V14 did swear and called her a stupid b****. I told V14 to walk away but she was mad. R33 was
sitting by the nurses' station.
On May 19, 2025, at 2:43 PM, V12 (Dietary Manager) stated, he got to work around 6:00 AM and heard the
nurses talking about what was served for dinner the night before. I tried to let them know the menus are
approved and sent to us through a dietitian. V14 (LPN) stated, the dietitian was a stupid b****. I was trying
to talk with V9 (LPN) and V14 kept intervening our conversation. Even V22 (CNA) told her to stop the
conversation was inappropriate. V14 stated, she didn't give a f***. He wasn't sure who exactly was sitting
out by the nurses' station at the time of the argument, but it was 1 or 2 residents that were there.
On May 20, 2025, at 10:58 AM, V10 (LPN) stated, she witnessed the argument with V9 (LPN), V14 (LPN)
and V12 (Dietary Manager). It was awful. V12 (Dietary Manager) was instigating that. R33 was sitting up by
the nurses' station. She is always up there.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to assess and treat a resident after the resident hit
their head when their wheelchair flipped backwards. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R34) reviewed for
quality of care in the sample of 41.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
On May 20, 2025, at 11:17 AM, V34 (R34's daughter) stated, R34 had appointment at his orthopedic office.
The facility transported R34 to the appointment and she met him there. She noticed a scrape on the crown
of his head. R34 told her that the guy flipped him over on the way to the appointment. He stopped too fast
and flipped him backwards and his head got scraped. She called the facility and asked what was going on.
They said they got over booked and the maintenance man (V19) had to drive him to the appointment. The
facility was going to have a nurse that previously worked in the neurology department at the hospital look at
him. They checked him out and he was fine just had a scrape on the top of his head that was all she knew.
On May 20, 2025, at 11:57 AM, R34 stated, he remembers the guy flipping him backwards in the van on
the way to his appointment. I'm fine.
On May 20, 2025, at 11:33 AM, V19 (former Maintenance Director) stated, he transported R34 to his
appointment on April 15, 2025. He made sure he was strapped down and buckled in. He was at a stop light
and when he went to go forward, R34's wheelchair fell backwards. He pulled over right away and picked
him up. R34 told him he was fine. He has done a million of these transports and has never had any issues.
This was the first time. He continued taking R34 to his appointment and waited for him until he was done.
He did not call the facility and let them know because R34 said he was fine, and he was at the doctor's
office. I didn't know, I'm just the maintenance guy just trying to get him to his appointment.
On May 20, 2025, at 11:07 AM, V33 (Registered Nurse/RN) stated, R34 had an appointment and V19
(former Maintenance Director) took him to his appointment. Someone (she couldn't remember who)
approached her and asked if she had heard what happened to R34 on the way to his appointment.
Supposedly, R34's daughter (V34) called and was irate because she wasn't informed that her dad had an
incident on the transport van. He flew backwards and hit his head. A little while later, V2 acting Director of
Nursing/Assistant Director of Nursing (DON/ADON) was pushing R34 down the hall. She got R34 situated
in the room and told V33 (RN) that she assessed him, and he was ok. She didn't need to worry about
charting but to start doing neuro checks on him every hour. She stated, she got busy because she had 8
nursing students and did not do any neuro checks. She only did hourly charting (which was not in R34's
electronic medical record). The incident happened on April 15, 2025. She did not call anyone and inform
them of R34's incident.
On May 20, 2025, at 12:13 PM, V2 (acting DON/ADON) stated, her understanding was that V34 (R34's
daughter) called and said, R34 fell in the transport van on the way to his appointment. She was asked to
check out R34 when he got back from his appointment. Once he returned, she took him to his room and
assessed him. She used to work as an ICU (Intensive Care Unit) RN with a specialty in neurology trauma.
She thought R34 was fine. She did not chart what she assessed, neuro checks or notified any physician
about R34 falling backwards and hitting his head. She told V33 (RN) to do hourly neurology checks on him.
She stated, doing neurology checks on someone after they hit their head would help determine if
something is wrong. The facility's policy is to do neuro checks and document the

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, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure residents were transferred in safe
manner with properly working equipment for 3 of 41 residents (R8, R36, R40) reviewed for safety in the
sample of 41.
The findings include:
1. On [DATE] at 9:55 AM, V22 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) said on [DATE] she was toileting R36
using the sit to stand machine. V22 said she had R36 standing up with her arms above her head attached
to the machine with the sling when she attempted to lower R36 to the toilet. V22 said the battery died and
the machine wouldn't lower R36. V22 said she got other batteries and none of the batteries she tried were
working. V22 said R36 was getting weak and starting to panic, so she tried to use the emergency release
on the machine, and it wouldn't release. V22 said she had to put her knees under R36's bottom, and with a
gait belt around R36's waist, manually lower R36 to the wheelchair. V22 showed this surveyor a mechanical
lift in the resident hallway and pointed out the red emergency release ring was not connected to the shaft
and slid up and down with no effect. V22 said this is broken, the emergency release should be connected to
the shaft. V22 said they didn't have reliable equipment and staff have let the management know. V22 did not
put a broken sign on the machine or remove the machine from the hallway.
On [DATE] at 9:37 AM, V38 (CNA) said R36 is a mechanical lift. V38 said R36 has bad arthritis and pain in
her knees and has dementia and doesn't know how to use the sit to stand machine.
On [DATE] at 10:55 AM, V37 and V38 (CNAs) transferred R36 from her wheelchair to the bed. V38 said,
while transferring R36, the emergency release doesn't work on this machine, they had just tried to use it on
R8 (R36's roommate). V38 attempted to use the emergency release on the lift to show this surveyor and
the release did not release. V37 and V38 continued transferring R36 to bed, provided incontinence care and
then transferred R36 back to her wheelchair. V37 and V38 then transferred R8 from her bed to her
wheelchair with the same mechanical lift machine.
On [DATE] at 11:45 AM, V15 (Restorative Nurse) said she was notified that staff was doing a sit to stand
transfer on R36 and the equipment malfunctioned. V15 said she told staff to always use a mechanical lift for
R36. V15 said R36 is supposed to be a mechanical lift, but the girls were doing a trial with R36 on a sit to
stand machine. V15 said she did not do an assessment on R36 to change R36's transfer status from a
mechanical lift to a sit to stand. V15 said R36's cognition has been on the decline, and she is not
appropriate for the sit to stand based on that.
R36's Care Plan dated [DATE] shows R36 is at risk for activities of daily living decline related to generalized
weakness and transfers via mechanical lift. Resident has inability to transfer self. Resident is a mechanical
lift. Resident has impaired cognitive function/dementia or impaired thought processes i.e , memory/recall;
orientation; decision making; delusional though content; etc., related to Alzheimer's, Dementia.
2. On [DATE] at 10:35 AM, V22 and V39 (CNAs) transferred R40 from the bed to his wheelchair using the
same mechanical lift with the unattached emergency release lever.

On [DATE] at 1:08 PM, V1 (Administrator) said V26 (Maintenance Director) did a sweep recently on all the
mechanical lifts and we have new batteries on order. V1 said she was not sure if the lifts were safety
checked. V1 said staff should not be using equipment if the emergency release is not working. V1 said staff
should fill out a work order and place the lift by the maintenance room.
On [DATE] at 2:45 PM, V26 (Maintenance Director) said about 2 days ago, he went through and checked
out all the mechanical lifts, and they should now be in working order. V26 with this surveyor, found the
mechanical lift with the unattached emergency release ring and said the ring should be attached.
The facility's undated Maintenance Service Policy shows the maintenance department is responsible for
maintaining the buildings, grounds, and equipment in a safe and operable manner at all times.

outside. V36 said staff were able to bring R35 back into the building and R35 did not have any injuries. V36
could not remember the date of the event, but said it was about one year ago. V36 said she notified V1
(Administrator) about what happened, and V1 told her to hold off on charting while they were trying to figure
it out. V36 said V1 did not say why she was not supposed to chart, but this was something that should be
charted. V36 said she did notify V40 (R35's Power of Attorney) about the event and V40 declined to move
R35 to the memory care unit at that time. V36 said R35 was able to walk with a walker and did look for exits
to go home.

On [DATE] at 9:37 AM, V38 (CNA) said the batteries for the mechanical lifts don't stay charged. V38 said
about 2 weeks ago, during a mechanical lift transfer with R8, the battery died while R8 was in the sling in
the air over the bed. V38 said they had to try multiple batteries before they finally were able to get one that
worked and complete the transfer.
On [DATE] at 9:40 AM, V25 (CNA) said staff is very frustrated over having to run to get new batteries. V25
said you leave one person with resident up in sling and then one person runs to get new battery. V25 said
some mechanical lifts have messed up wheels, and some the emergency release doesn't work. V25 said
R19 and R41 use sit to stand machine for transfers.
On [DATE] at 10:35 AM, V22 (CNA) said R40 is a mechanical lift for transfers.
On [DATE] at 9:50 AM, R41 was sitting up in his wheelchair in his room watching TV. R41 said they use a
sit to stand machine to help him move from the wheelchair to bed and back. R41 said there have been
many times while he was attached and up in the machine that the battery dies, and they must get another
to swap out.
On [DATE] at 1:08 PM, V1 (Administrator) said V26 did a sweep recently on all the mechanical lifts and we
