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
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident was transferred safely with
a mechanical lift.This applies to 1 resident (R1) reviewed for safety in a sample of 3. The past
non-compliance occurred between 7/10/2025 and 7/18/2025.The findings include:R1's face-sheet showed
R1 was a [AGE] years old female admitted with diagnoses to include congestive heart failure, dementia,
anxiety, depression, hypertension, osteoporosis, intervertebral disc degeneration, urinary infection, sepsis
and encephalopathy. R1's MDS (Minimum Data Set) on 7/11/25 showed severe cognitive impairment. R1's
Progress notes, dated 7/11/25 at 8:15 AM, showed right sided bruising noted by CNA while giving bed
bath. RN assessed R1 and found dark purple bruising on right side ribs, hip, knee and foot. The final Facility
Reported Incident (FRI) received on 7/18/25 at 12:00 PM showed, On July 11, 2025, (R1) was observed by
a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) with discoloration on the right ribs, right hip, right knee and right ankle
area. The areas were evaluated and observed to be dark purple with a yellow hue, the skin was intact,
warm, and dry to touch. Measurements of the discoloration include right ribs at 16 x 11.5cm, right hip at 12
x 8.5cm, right knee at 2 x 2cm, and right lateral ankle at 3.5 x 2cm. The FRI also showed, on 7/10/25
afternoon, V5 (CNA) reported that she transferred the resident by herself with the [mechanical lift brand
name] in the afternoon. The FRI continued to show that upon interview, V5 stated she had forgotten to
report a skin observation to the nurse, and denied there was any unusual occurrence during the transfer.
The FRI report then showed V5 stated there was a possibility that the [mechanical lift brand name] lift arm
that holds the sling, could have pressed up against the resident's rib area when she reached over to
release the sling from the other side of the resident's body.On 7/29/25 at 9:30 AM, a skin check was done
on R1. This writer observed mild greenish discoloration on the right hip area. On 7/29/25 at 11:00 AM, V3
(CNA) reported on 7/11/25 at around 9:30 AM, she noticed blackish purple bruises on R1 on her right
flanks, right hip, right knee, and right ankle. V3 stated R1 had pain and tenderness at that time when V3
touched or turned her. On 7/29/25 at 11:50 AM, V3 (CNA), V4 (CNA), V7 (RN-Registered nurse) and V8
(RN) stated mechanical lift transfers must be done by two persons.On 7/29/25 at 12:35 PM, V6 (R1's
Physician) stated, (R1) was on a blood thinning medicine, although the possibility of spontaneous bleed is
mostly seen as an intra-cranial bleed or retro-peritoneal bleed. The CT (computed tomography) scan done
for (R1) on 7/13/25 did not show any retroperitoneal or intracranial bleed, but it showed a sub-cutaneous
bleed. (R1) probably has had an impact with a hard surface before 7/11/25, which led to the subcutaneous
hematoma. Mechanical lift transfers must always be operated by two people for safe transfers.On 7/29/25 at
3:30 PM, V2 (DON-Director of Nursing) stated, (R1) probably hit a hard surface, though there are no
witnesses to prove what happened. Otherwise (R1) would not have that pattern of bruises. It was something
that could have been avoidable.On 7/29/25 at 1:10 PM V1 (Administrator) stated R1 definitely had some
impact happened that should not have happened. V1 stated V5
