Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Based on medical record review, review of hospital records, staff interview, and review of the facility policy,
the facility failed to ensure staff safely transferred residents via mechanical lift. This resulted in Actual Harm
to Resident #19 on 06/06/25 when staff transferred the resident into a recliner via Hoyer lift. The Hoyer lift
was not wide enough to accommodate Resident #19's recliner and the bar of the lift swung back and struck
the resident in the forehead causing bruising and a laceration to her forehead which required an emergency
room visit and repair with sutures. This affected one (Resident #19) of three residents reviewed for
accidents. The facility also failed to prevent resident falls and failed to thoroughly investigate resident falls.
This affected one (Resident #25) of three residents reviewed for falls. The facility census was 61 residents.
Findings include:
1. Review of the medical record for Resident #19 revealed an admission date of 07/29/23 with diagnoses
including displaced fracture of base of neck of left femur, contracture of lower leg muscle, and
osteoarthritis.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for Resident #19 dated 06/02/25 revealed the resident
had severe cognitive impairment, had functional limitations to the bilateral lower extremities, and was
dependent on staff assistance with all transfers.
Review of the incident report for Resident #19 dated 06/06/25 timed at 9:30 A.M. revealed staff were
transferring resident to the recliner when Hoyer legs would not stretch wide enough to accommodate the
recliner. Staff continued to use the Hoyer lift to lower the resident into the recliner. As the staff were lowering
Resident #19 into the recliner, the Hoyer lift snapped back and hit the resident on the head causing a
laceration. Resident #19 was sent to the emergency room (ER).
Review of the progress note for Resident #19 date 06/06/25 timed at 10:43 A.M. revealed two Certified
Nursing Assistants (CNAs) reported the resident sustained a laceration to the head during a Hoyer lift
transfer when the legs of the lift did not stretch wide enough for the recliner causing the lift to snap back
resulting in the resident sustaining the laceration as they were lowering the resident into the recliner.
Review of the progress note for Resident #19 dated 06/06/25 timed at 1:30 P.M. revealed the resident
returned from the ER with a suture to a laceration to the resident's left upper forehead. The resident also
had some purple bruising to the forehead.

tear and a laceration to her head during a Hoyer lift transfer. Interventions included staff should use caution
during transfers and bed mobility to prevent striking the resident's arms, legs, and hands against any sharp
or hard surface.
Review of the hospital records for Resident #19 dated 06/06/25 revealed the resident arrived in the ER with
a head injury sustained when staff at the nursing home transported the resident to a recliner via Hoyer lift.
Resident sustained a head injury without loss of consciousness when she was struck in the head with a
metal pole from the left. Resident #19 had significant bleeding and receives Xarelto (a blood thinner) for
treatment of atrial fibrillation. Lidocaine with epinephrine was applied to the injured area and the laceration
was repaired with one suture applied.
Review of the interdisciplinary team (IDT) investigation of the incident involving Resident #19 dated
06/09/25 revealed two aides assisted the resident to the recliner via Hoyer lift. During the transfer the legs
of the Hoyer lift would not extend to the width of the recliner due to the size of the chair. The Hoyer device
made contact with resident's head causing a laceration. Resident #19 was sent to the ER and returned with
a suture to the laceration to the forehead. Resident #19 typically rested in a geri chair when out of bed but
was in the process of getting a new chair from the hospice provider, and the recliner was used instead on
06/06/25. The facility follow up included to not utilize the recliner for Resident #19 because the Hoyer legs
could not spread wide enough for the resident to safely transfer and to educate staff on the resident's care
plan and appropriate Hoyer usage.
Interview on 07/02/25 at 2:00 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed on 06/06/25 two CNAs
transferred Resident #19 to her recliner with a Hoyer that was too small to accommodate the width of the
recliner. The DON confirmed staff continued with the transfer even when they became aware the Hoyer lift
was not the correct size to complete the transfer. The DON confirmed as the staff lowered Resident #19
into the recliner, the bar of the Hoyer lift swung back and hit the resident in the head. Resident #19
sustained a laceration and bruising to the left forehead which resulted in the resident being sent to the ER
for sutures. The DON confirmed the aides involved in the incident for Resident #19 on 06/06/25 were a
hospice aide and a facility aide who was no longer employed with the facility.
Review of the facility policy titled Activities of Daily Living dated September 2018 revealed staff should
follow necessary precautions to ensure the safety of the residents during activities of daily living (ADLs).
2. Review of the medical record for Resident #25 revealed an admission date of 04/05/22 with diagnoses
including type two diabetes mellitus, acquired absence of left leg below knee, acquired absence of right leg
below knee, and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia.
Review of the progress note for Resident #25 dated 04/12/25 timed at 2:00 A.M. revealed the resident was
on the floor laying on his right side between the window wall area and the bed. The bed was locked, and the
side rails were up. Resident #25 complained of lower back pain and requested to go to the emergency
room.
Review of the fall report dated 04/12/25 at 2:00 A.M. revealed the resident was laying on the floor. Resident

Review of the care plan for Resident #25 updated 04/12/25 revealed the resident had an actual fall with
minor injury. Interventions included the following: educate resident on safety techniques with positioning
and the use of assist bars, and encourage rest breaks when tired.
Review of the MDS assessment for Resident #25 dated 05/06/25 revealed the resident was cognitively
intact and required substantial assistance with bed mobility.
Interview on 07/01/25 at 9:00 A.M. with Resident #25 confirmed he had fallen from his bed in April 2025.
Resident #25 confirmed he was not interviewed about the incident, and when CNA #255 came into his
room to change him, she shoved him over to the right side of the bed and he fell off the edge of the bed
and onto the floor.
Interview on 07/07/25 at 10:08 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Unit Manager #204 confirmed she
documented Resident #25's fall on 04/12/25 in the progress notes, because the agency nurse who was
working at the time of the fall didn't document anything about the fall. LPN #204 confirmed the facility did
not interview Resident #25 about how the fall occurred.
Interview on 07/07/25 at 11:38 A.M. with CNA #255 confirmed on 04/12/25 at approximately 2:00 A.M. she
went into Resident #25's room to perform peri-care after trying to get another staff member to assist. CNA
#255 confirmed she was not able to get another staff member to assist with Resident #25's peri-care, so
she went into his room alone. Interview confirmed she rolled Resident #25 onto his right side, away from
her, and the resident rolled out of bed onto the floor. CNA #255 confirmed the fall report was not accurate,
and the fall was her fault because she rolled the resident away from her. CNA #25 confirmed the nurse
didn't assess the resident or interview him.
Interview on 07/07/25 at 2:25 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed on 04/12/25 Resident #25
fell out of bed during routine care. The DON confirmed the fall investigation report dated 04/12/25 was not
complete, and the resident was not interviewed after the fall.
Review of the facility policy titled Managing Falls and Fall Risk undated revealed the staff would identify
interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling.
This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00166581 and
