What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 interview and record review, the facility failed to transfer a resident safely and in line with facility protocols, which resulted in R3 falling while staff were transferring R3 from the chair to bed. This failure applied to one (R3) of four residents reviewed for falls.Findings include:R3 is a [AGE] year-old resident admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including but not limited to: Paraplegia, Multiple Sclerosis, and morbid obesity.R3's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] section C0500 documents Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score = 15 which suggests cognition is intact. Section GG0130 documents resident needs set up or clean up assistance for eating. Resident needs partial/moderate assistance for upper body dressing. Resident needs substantial/maximal assistance for oral hygiene, shower/bathe self, lower body dressing, and personal hygiene. Resident is dependent on staff for toileting hygiene and putting on/taking off footwear.On 8/11/2025, at 10:56 AM, R3 stated I did have a fall from the sit to stand (mechanical lift). That was in March this year. V4 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) was new. It was just one person (V4) helping me when I fell. She starts at 2pm and works 2nd shift. I told V3 Director of Nursing (DON) what happened. V3 DON did not look at my hip or anything.On 8/11/2025, at 2:16 PM, V4 CNA stated I have worked with R3 before. I do recall moving R3 in a sit to stand (mechanical lift) and R3 had a fall. I called someone to help me get her back up off the floor to the bed. I was using the lift with V19 CNA my coworker. V19 CNA is out of the country on vacation right now. I was new then. This is my first experience as a CNA. We (V19 and I) put the pad on R3's back as we were about to lift her R3 was sort of afraid, so we tried to calm her down. In the process, R3 dropped from the chair to the floor. R3 has a leg problem. R3 normally uses her hand to pull her leg up. I called for someone else to help. It was another CNA. I do not know her name, I don't think she no longer works here. She oriented me. I was new and I did not report to the nurse. I asked R3 if she had any problem at all, and she said no. We helped her back to bed, V19 and myself. The other CNA was just watching us. V19 and I lifted R3 up from the floor with the hoyer (mechanical lift). There was no nurse in the room. I am unaware of any other residents that fell from the lifts. So, after the fall V3 DON and V7 ADON called me to the office and told me to always use the hoyer (mechanical lift) with another person. I think V3 DON and V7 ADON knew R3 had a fall. I was a new CNA, so they were just telling me what to do and what not to do. I am not sure if they knew. If I see a resident on the floor, we let the nurse know right away and get help to assist the resident up after the nurse sees them. The fall with the sit to stand (mechanical lift) with R3 happened somewhere between March 17th this year when I started to April this year. Maybe like 2-3 weeks after I started.On 8/12/2025, at 9:30 AM V3 DON stated we did a fall event for the fall with R3 for yesterday because we were notified yesterday of the event. We interviewed R3 and she said V4 CNA was trying to transfer from chair to sit to stand (mechanical lift) to put her in the bed, but it seemed like the chair was not locked because the chair moved, so she slid to the floor.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few CNA called for another CNA to come and assist her. V4 CNA was using the sit to stand (mechanical lift) alone. There is always supposed to be 2 staff. V4 CNA did tell us the truth that she did use the sit to stand alone that day. When the other CNA V19 came they asked R3 if she was ok and R3 said she was ok. They both (V4 and V19) transferred her back to bed. I asked V4 CNA if she told the nurse, and V4 CNA said she did not because R3 said she was fine. V4 CNA was ignorant to the fact because she was new here and she was new to this type of job. R3 said this fall happened back in March 2025. When surveyor asked V3 DON if V4 CNA had proper training on lifts prior to this fall V3 stated V4 CNA did not have proper training prior to this. V4 CNA has had training since and we retrained her again yesterday and we are retraining all staff members. Fall event was done, we put an intervention for staff education on use of mechanical lifts.On 8/12/2025, at 10:57 AM, V1 Administrator stated I am now aware of a resident falling out of the lift. I was made aware yesterday. My expectation is that 2 staff should be using the mechanical lifts at all times.On 8/12/2025, at 11:11 AM, V7 Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated I was made aware just yesterday of a resident falling out of a lift. That was the first I had heard of it. There should always be at least 2 staff members to use both mechanical lifts. My expectation of staff after a fall should notify the nurse, nurse should do head to toe assessment, notify doctor, if patient can be moved then the staff would safely transfer the patient back to bed.On 8/12/2025, at 2:09 PM, V3 DON stated I was not aware of R3's fall prior to yesterday. I started in servicing yesterday on timely reporting, and mechanical lift use. Prior to yesterday V4 CAN did not have any formal training on mechanical lifts except for the 3-day training with preceptor. I do not have any documentation of preceptor training for V4 CNA on mechanical lifts. Surveyor asked for the last mechanical lift training for the building. V3 DON stated she would provide to surveyor.On 8/12/2025, at 2:15 PM, V4 CNA stated I was using the lift by myself when R3 had her fall and then I called V19 CNA. V19 CNA helped me lift R3 from the floor to the bed. Neither one of us notified the nurse because R3 said she was ok. I know now to always use 2 people for lifts and to let nurse know right away.On 8/13/2025, at 10:23 AM, V3 DON provided Inservice for sit to stand lift and hoyer lift (mechanical lifts) for September 2024 and stated this is the only one I have. V3 DON states she does not have gait belt training in-services or documentation of training on gait belt use for nursing staff. Gait belt training is being started now. The mechanical lifts in-service does not actually say to use 2 people to use lift but in the picture it shows 2 people using lift.On 8/14/2015, at 2:27 PM V4 CNA stated my preceptors was V19 CNA and V24 CNA. I was precepted for like 2 weeks. I do not remember if I put the brakes on the sit to stand or the wheelchair. I did put the brakes on the wheelchair and the sit to stand. When surveyor stated first you said you do not remember and now you remember what is the correct answer? V4 stated I remember locking the wheelchair, but the sit to stand, I am not sure if I locked it. V24 showed me how to use the sit to stand when she precepted me. V24 showed me by telling me if I want to use sit to stand on resident I will bring the sit to stand toward the resident, V24 told me to lock the wheelchair, I will put the pad on her back crossing her arms, tell resident to hold handles, hook the belt under breast, use two fingers to make sure not to tight, then someone behind resident to guide and then I will lift the up button to raise resident, ask if they are ok, if resident says not ok lower resident and let nurse know. If resident ok, with help of helper unlock sit to stand and move resident to bed or chair and lower and remove belt. Make sure comfortable.Fall Incident reports provided to surveyor by V3 DON from 2/1/2025-8/11/2025 do not document any falls for R3.Fall Risk Observation form dated 8/30/2024 documents R3's fall risk score is 12 which is High Risk for Falls.R3's Progress note dated 8/11/2025 documents: Writer was informed by a staff member that the resident has a fall that occurred in March 2025 with (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145879 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 7 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 145879 B.

I am unsure if we do yearly competencies on nursing staff. We have not done a competency fair since I have been here. I have worked here a year on 8/12/2025. When asked how do you evaluate the nursing staff competencies DON states I evaluate the nursing staff by inservices and checklist. The staff has to do return demonstrations on some of in-services. If the staff is uncomfortable in their skill they can ask for retraining from their preceptor or other coworkers. I have a lead CNA on the floor rounding and monitoring CNA tasks. My ADON also has done in-services with return demonstrations. We are starting a yearly competency fair going forward, but we do monthly trainings. We did have one scheduled, but JCHO came last year and it got cancelled. It will be scheduled in the near future hopefully in September. 7 current CNA's did not get trained on mechanical lifts according to the in-service sign in sheet dated September 2024. One CNA was here at that time in September 2024, I am not sure why she did not get trained. The other 6 CNA's hire dates were after that in-service. I am almost done training all staff with the new training I started a couple days ago for mechanical lifts.On 8/14/2015, at 2:27 PM V4 CNA stated my preceptors was V19 CNA and V24 CNA. I was precepted for like 2 weeks. I do not remember if I put the brakes on the sit to stand or the wheelchair. I did put the brakes on the wheelchair and the sit to stand. When surveyor stated first you said you do not remember and now you remember what is the correct answer? V4 stated I remember locking the wheelchair, but the sit to stand, I am not sure if I locked it. V24 showed me how to use the sit to stand when she precepted me. V24 showed me by telling me if I want to use sit to stand on resident I will bring the sit to stand toward the resident, V24 told me to lock the wheelchair, I will put the pad on her back crossing her arms, tell resident to hold handles, hook the belt under breast, use two fingers to make sure not to tight, then someone behind resident to guide and then I will lift the up button to raise resident, ask if they are ok, if resident says not ok lower resident and let nurse know.
