**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's foot was supported during wheelchair
transport which resulted in a fracture of the lower leg. This past noncompliance occurred from October 27,
2025, through October 29, 2025.This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for accidents in the sample
of 6.The findings include: R1's EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed R1 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], with multiple diagnoses including multiple sclerosis, spastic hemiplegia affecting the right dominant
side. Paraplegia, fracture of both the right and left femurs with surgical repair, diabetes mellitus, dementia,
and left tibia fracture added October 27, 2025. R1's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated November 26, 2025,
showed R1 was cognitively intact and required assistance with ADLs including set up assistance with
eating, partial assistance with oral hygiene, substantial assistance with upper body dressing and dependent
on staff for lower body dressing, toileting, bathing, bed mobility and transfer. The facility sent a report to the
department dated October 28, 2025, showed that R1 sustained a fracture to her left lower leg, while a
therapy assistant was transporting R1 in a wheelchair from the therapy room to R1's room, and R1's leg
was abruptly placed on the floor.On December 12, 2025, at 2:05 PM, V2 (Physical Therapy Assistant),
stated on October 27, 2025, V2 was transporting R1 in the wheelchair both to and from therapy using only
one footrest on the wheelchair.On December 13, 2025, at 1:35 PM, V5 (NP-Nurse Practitioner) stated on
October 27, 2025, V5 was in the facility when R1 was injured, and alerted by staff that R1 was complaining
of left leg pain. V5 stated she examined R1 and stated R1 was in pain and had limited ROM (Range of
Motion) to the left leg and ordered X-rays of R1's entire left leg due to a history of previous fractures. V5
stated the injury was caused by R1's left leg not being supported by a footrest while being transported in a
wheelchair, when R1's leg was caught under the wheelchair. V5 stated staff informed her that the staff was
unable to find the second footrest for R1's wheelchair, and proceeded to transport R1 without the footrest,
resulting in the fracture.R1's Xray result dated October 27, 2025, showed R1 sustained an acute
nondisplaced fracture of the proximal left tibia.Prior to the survey entrance date of December 12, 2025, the
facility had taken the following action to address the noncompliance.1. The Facility held an emergency QA
(Quality Assurance) meeting, on October 28, 2025, that was attended by the Medical Director and the
interdisciplinary team, to develop a plan to address the noncompliance. 2. The Facility found R1's
wheelchair footrest and did a 1:1 training regarding supporting feet during wheelchair transport with V2. 3.
The Facility in serviced the therapy department staff and nursing staff on October 28, 2025, regarding the
use of footrests while transporting residents in their wheelchairs. 4. The facility did a facility wide audit of
residents who use wheelchairs for transport to ensure footrests were available and their care plans were
