Review of Resident #10's fall investigation dated 01/06/25 at 5:32 A.M. revealed two certified nursing
assistants (CNAs) were transferring the resident out of his bed to the shower chair to get a shower. The
CNAs stated the resident did not bend his legs during the transfer, so they had to lower the resident to the
floor for safety. The resident revealed his legs gave out trying to transfer. No complaints of pain or injuries.
The resident was transferred into the shower chair. The resident's order was a 2-person assist in and out of
bed but was recently changed to a mechanical sling lift in and out of bed. The CNAs were not aware of the
recent change and were educated to verify orders due to possible changes. The physician and family were
notified.
Review of Resident #10's fall investigation dated 01/06/25 at 6:00 A.M. revealed the resident was in the spa
after receiving a shower. With the assistance of two CNAs, the resident stood up at the grab bar to pull up
his pants. While attempting to stand, the resident was not able to keep standing and the resident was
lowered to the ground by the CNAs. The resident stated that his legs got tired while standing. The resident
was transferred back into the shower chair from the floor. The resident had a recent downgrade in transfers
to a mechanical sling lift in and out of bed but was a 2-person assist in the spa using a grab bar (no
pivoting). The family and physician were notified.
Interview on 02/20/25 at 9:44 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed when Resident #10's was
transferred from the bed to the shower chair on 01/06/25 at 5:32 A.M., staff were required to use a Hoyer
mechanical lift and did not use the device, and the resident was unable to maintain his weight and was
lowered to the floor. The DON confirmed when Resident #10 was transferred from the shower to stand at
the grab bar in the shower (spa) room on 01/06/25 at 6:00 A.M., the CNAs stood the resident to pull up his
pants and the resident was unable to hold his weight and was lowered to the floor. The DON confirmed the
order was for the staff to only use the grab bar when toileting the resident and the resident was being
dressed while standing in the bathroom, which was inappropriate. She confirmed staff were educated and
the resident required the use of the Hoyer mechanical lift.
Review of the Using a Mechanical Lifting Machine dated 09/2024 revealed at least two nursing assistants
were needed to safely move a resident with a mechanical lift.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00162322.
