On 9/13/2023 at 10:00 AM, R1 had 2 healing lacerations to her scalp, one above her left ear, and the second near the top of her head. R1 stated she was being transferred with a mechanical lift by one nursing assistant, and the machine fell over and striking her on the head causing the lacerations. On 9/13/2023 at 9:30 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated V11 (Nurse) notified her of the incident, and arrived to R1's room to assist.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few wheelchair. V2 stated R1 had 2 lacerations to her head where the arm of the lift hit her, requiring R1 to be sent to the emergency room; she returned with staples to both of the lacerations. V2 stated facility policy is always to utilize 2 staff for all mechanical lift transfers and V3 was doing R1's transfer without another staff to assisting. V2 stated she concluded the base of the lift machine was not open wide enough, (R1) is tall and heavy, can be resistive at times, and grabs at the bars on the lift. V2 stated V3 lost control of the lift as she swung R1 to the side and it started to tip; if V3 had a second staff person assisting, that second person could have placed their foot on the base to balance the weight to prevent it from tipping, or prevented the loss of control or the tip, by guiding the machine. On 9/13/2023 at 11:15 AM, V4 (Medical Director) stated he was aware R1 was injured during a mechanical lift transfer. V4 stated, They are to operate the equipment safely to prevent falls. The whole reason for the (mechanical lift) is to safely transfer residents. I am not even sure how that could have happened.
