Based on medical record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to use the proper lift for resident
transfers. This affected one (Resident #10) of three residents reviewed for lift transfers. The facility census
was 81 residents.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #10 revealed an admission date of 07/31/24 with diagnoses
including cerebral infarction, hemiplegia/hemiparesis, edema, sepsis, dementia, and diabetes mellitus, and
a discharge date of 11/10/24.
Review of the care plan for Resident #10 dated 09/29/24 revealed the resident had an activities of daily
living (ADL) self-care performance deficit related to history of cerebral vascular accident with hemiplegia
with an intervention dated 10/02/24 to transfer with Hoyer lift with assist of two to transfer.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for Resident #10 dated 10/07/24 revealed the resident
had moderate to severe cognitive deficits and required extensive assistance with ADLs.

Resident #10 had not had any recent falls. The facility investigation revealed the bruising was caused from
the resident being transferred by stand-up lift instead of the Hoyer lift as recommended by therapy and per
the resident's plan of care.
Interview on 11/18/24 at 11:45 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed staff had been using the
