legs buckled outwards, she was lowered to the ground she did not fall. V12 said she was surprised when
she was told R9 was being transferred via seat to stand instead of a mechanical lift. R9 has MS, foot drop
right sided weakness. Mechanical lift would have been safer for R9.On 8/5/25 at 9:25 AM, V13 (Physical
Therapist) said she assessed R9 for a stand lift transfer. Due to R9's right sided weakness, two staff need
to assist R9. One staff should be in the R9's right-sided weakness assisting in the hand placement of the
right hand (weak side) and the other staff to maneuver the machine, this ensures R9's safety during the
transfer.On 8/6/25 at 1PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) said R9 was now on mechanical lift on all transfers.2.

the sit to stand machine. V15 was behind R42 holding unto R42's pants. R42 was leaning to her left side
with her left hand hanging to her side. When R42 was done using the bathroom, R42 was again placed in

left hand hanging in her side. On 8/5/25 at 9:25 AM, V13 (Physical Therapist) said when using stand lift
