**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to properly transfer one resident (R1) and ensure that R1 was
wearing proper footwear during the transfer. This failure resulted in R1 being hospitalized and sustaining a
fracture to the neck.
Findings include:
R1 is an [AGE] year old female who admitted back to the facility on [DATE] and was discharged to the
hospital on 1/10/2025. R1 has multiple diagnoses including but not limited to the following: type II DM,

said R1 began to slide and was lowered to the floor. R1 was wearing slippers at the time of transfer.
On 1/15/2025 at 11:15AM, V4 said I was going to give R1 a shower. R1 was previously a resident here and

transfer independently. R1 was sitting in her wheelchair. I placed her walker in front of her, she stood up
using the walker, and I attempted to move the wheelchair and replace it with the shower chair. During the
transfer, R1 began to slip and slide down to the ground. She was wearing slippers and she seemed weaker
