**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to utilize footrests when transporting a
dependent resident in a wheelchair resulting in entrapment of lower extremities in front wheels and the staff
member transporting the resident failed to report the incident resulting in a two day delay of care for one
(R1) of three residents reviewed for accidents in a sample of three residents. This failure caused R1 to
suffer a fractured left tibia. Findings Include:R1's Care Plan, updated on 12/17/25, lists the following
diagnoses: Congestive Heart Failure, Chronic Kidney Disease Stage III, Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation,
Lymphedema and Chronic Venous Insufficiency of the lower extremities, unsteady gait, muscle wasting,
and difficulty walking.R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R1 was cognitively intact and
totally dependent on staff to propel her 150 feet in the corridor using a manual wheelchair.R1's Progress
Note dated 12/27/25 at 5:21 a.m. documents: Message sent to (V8), Nurse Practitioner (NP), regarding left
knee swelling and bruising. (R1) states it has been present for three days. Pedal pulse palpable, skin warm,
able to push down and pull back with foot. States there is pain, not severe.R1's Progress Note dated
12/28/25 at 3:41 p.m. documents: At approximately 3:00 p.m., CNA came and notified nurse that (R1's) leg
appeared more swollen and (R1) was having difficulty rolling. Nurse went to (R1's) room to assess her leg
and noted it was worse than earlier that morning. (R1) stated she was agreeable to being sent to the
hospital. Nurse completed paperwork, notified (V8), NP, called the ambulance at approximately 3:13 p.m.,
and notified the Power of Attorney. The ambulance arrived at 3:30 p.m., and the nurse called report to the
hospital at 3:40 p.m.R1's Progress Note dated 12/29/25 at 1:30 p.m. documents: Nurse writer called to
obtain an update after rounds. Hospital nurse stated the resident would need surgery; however, they were
waiting for the surgeon to discuss the surgery and risks with the resident and her daughter prior to
scheduling. Nurse stated the CT scan showed a mildly displaced oblique fracture of the proximal left
tibia.On 2/4/26 at 9:00 a.m., R1 was observed lying in her bed wearing an orthopedic boot on her left lower
extremity. R1 stated, I think it was the day before Christmas I decided to have them get me up in my chair.
(V6) and (V10), Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs), came in with the sling-type mechanical lift and moved me to
my chair. Since I was up, (V6) pushed me down to the scale to weigh me. She didn't put on the foot pedals.
There is a little bump when you wheel onto the scale, and I slipped down in the chair a little. When she
pushed me off the scale, my left foot got caught on the front wheel under the chair. I said, ‘Ouch, I'm
tangled,' and (V6) got me loose. It hurt, but I have swelling and bad circulation in my feet and legs, so
sometimes I don't feel pain as much. After a while, the pain and swelling got so bad I couldn't stand for my
leg to be moved. They sent me to the hospital, and my leg was broken. They talked about surgery, but with
my heart problems, my weight, and not being able to stand anyway, we decided to use the boot and let it
heal.On 2/5/26 at 10:18 a.m., V6 stated, I took (R1) in her wheelchair down to the scale to weigh her. I think
it was the day after

Christmas. I was hurrying and did not put on the foot pedals. When I pushed (R1) off the scale, her left foot
got caught in the left front wheel under the wheelchair. I immediately got it loose. I think (R1) said
something like, ‘Ouch, I'm caught,' but I thought she was okay. I took her back to her room. I 100% should
have used the foot pedals. If I had thought she was hurt, I would have gotten the nurse right away. I didn't
tell anyone else, and I know I should have.On 2/5/26 at 10:24 a.m., V8, Nurse Practitioner (NP), stated, It is
likely the incident when (R1's) foot was twisted under the wheelchair caused her leg fracture. When I was
contacted, I was not made aware that there had been trauma. I assumed it was related to (R1's) history of
cellulitis, lymphedema, and vascular insufficiency, so I ordered an antibiotic. If I had known trauma had
occurred, I would have ordered an X-ray.On 2/5/26 at 12:30 p.m., V2, Director of Nursing (DON), confirmed
the facility was not aware of the wheelchair incident until after the fracture was diagnosed on [DATE]. An
investigation was immediately initiated, and V6 then reported the wheelchair incident.The facility's
Accident/Incident and Unusual Occurrence Policy, effective February 2014, states the purpose is to record
all accidents and incidents in writing, ensure thorough investigation to prevent future occurrences when
possible, and identify hazards to the health and safety of residents, employees, and visitors, including
notification to external review agencies and/or authorities as required. The policy further states all
employees are responsible for reporting to their immediate supervisor any accident or incident that has or
could have resulted in injury to residents, staff, visitors, or others, including completion and submission of
the required report for review and signature.
