Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to transfer a resident in a safe manner for 1 of 6 residents (R1) reviewed for safety in the sample of 6.
Residents Affected - Few The findings include: On 5/15/25 at 10:15 AM, R1 was dressed at sitting up in her wheelchair. R1 had a large dark purple/red bruise approximately 3 inches long by 1.5 inches wide on the top of her right forearm extending around the outer side of the forearm to the underside of R1's forearm. The bruising almost formed a complete circle around R1's forearm. R1 said the other night she had to go to the bathroom and the girl pulled her by her arm to get her out of bed. R1 stated she doesn't have the strength to push herself up and the staff pulled her arm to help get her up. R1 said the girl was in a hurry trying to get her up, but it wasn't intentional. R1 said she didn't remember her name, but it was nighttime and it was dark outside. The facility's Resident Abuse Form dated 5-12-25 shows R1 stated overnight Certified Nursing Assistant grabbed her arm to assist her from sitting to standing. R1 felt as thought this was rough but did not feel it was abusive. R1 feels she was improperly transferred during cares. On 5/15/25 at 9:25 AM, V2 Director of Nursing said she had assisted to investigate R1's bruise and watched the cameras to determine the staff that had entered R1's room. V2 said V5 Registered Nurse and V8 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)were the only staff that cared for R1 that evening. V2 said V5 went in around 11:30 AM to pass medications and then did not go into the room until morning for AM medications. V2 said V8 went into R1's multiple times that shift. On 5/15/25 at 10:22 AM, V8 Agency CNA said during her shift on 5/12/25 to 5/13/25, R1 had to go to the bathroom. V8 said it was her first time getting R1 out of the bed, R1 had never gotten out of bed before on night shift. V8 said R1 told her she could stand up on her own with the walker so she assisted R1 to stand and then held the gait belt on R1's waist. V8 said R1 was able to sit up by herself at the bedside. V8 said after returning from the washroom, R1 slept the rest of the evening. On 5/15/25 at 9:42 AM, V4 CNA said she works with R1 often and R1 can stand and pivot with a gait belt for transfers. V4 said R1 does need some assist with bed mobility. V4 said she was told about R1's bruising and when she saw it, from where the bruise is located, her first thought was who put their hand there? V4 said it looks like improper handling to her. V4 said R1 doesn't' flail her arms around so she wouldn't have bumped it on anything. V4 said staff should use a gait belt and hold the gait belt to assist R1 out of bed to stand. On 5/15/25 at 9:57 AM, V6 CNA said she worked with R1 the morning shift on 5/13/25 when she noticed the bruise on R1's forearm. V6 said R1 said staff pulled her around by her arm and that's how she got the bruise. V6 said R1 is a one person assist with a gait belt and if R1 needs help to sit up in bed, you don't grab her by the arms to pull her up to a sitting position. On 5/15/25 at 11:49 AM, V7 Social Service Director said when she spoke to R1 about the bruise, R1 told her the night staff had pulled her up by her arm to get her out of bed. V7 said R1 said she didn't feel like it was abusive or intentional. V7 said their investigation concluded that it was an improper transfer and V8 was re-educated on transfers and an in-service was done.
