F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. 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.
