Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to safely transfer a resident for 1 of 3 residents (R1)
reviewed for accidents in a sample of 5. This failure resulted in R1 falling from the lifting machine, hitting her
head and receiving three staples to repair a 1.2 cm (centimeter) laceration to the back of her scalp.This
past non-compliance occurred between 9/14/2025 and 9/15/25.Findings included:R1's admission Record
documented R1 was admitted to this facility on 2/25/2025, with diagnoses of type 2 diabetes mellitus,
essential hypertension, opioid dependency, chronic pain and spinal stenosis among others.R1's MDS
(Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 8/4/2025, documented R1 with a BIMS (Brief interview for Mental
Status) score of 12 out of 15, which indicated R1 is cognitively intact. This same MDS under section GG
(Functional Ability) documented R1 has impairment to both lower extremities and is dependent on staff for
all transfers and toileting.On 9/29/2025 at 10:00am, R1 said on 9/14/2025 right after lunch, she needed to
use the commode and put her call light on. R1 said the staff use a lifting machine that lifts her to a standing
position and then will lower her onto the commode and back to her chair again. R1 said V4 (Certified
Nursing Assistant/CNA) answered her call light. R1 said, by himself, V4 placed the lifting straps around her
and tightened them, but when V4 used the lifting machine to lift her up, she slipped out of the straps and fell
to the floor, hit her head and caused a laceration. R1 said she was sent to the local emergency room and
received 3 staples in her scalp to close the laceration.On 9/29/2025 at 2:00pm, V4 said he was the staff
providing care for R1 on 9/14/2025. V4 said about 1:00pm, he answered R1's call light, and R1 said she
needed to use the bedside commode. V4 said he knows two staff are to be present when using the patient
lift machines, but this time he did not wait for more staff to come and transferred R1 by himself and used
the lift machine. V4 said he strapped R1 into the lifting machine and began to lift her up. V4 said during mid
transfer, R1 slipped out of the straps and fell backwards. V4 said he tried to grab R1 but could not. V4 said
when R1 fell from the lifting machine, she hit her head and caused a laceration.R1's emergency room
