**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** THE
FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS
SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY.
Based on medical record review, family interview, staff interview, review of the facility therapy to nursing
communication form and review of facility policy, the facility failed to provide adequate staff assistance
during transfers to prevent falls. This resulted in actual harm on 01/15/25 at approximately 12:25 P.M. to
Resident #100 when Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #20 completed a hands-on transfer of the resident
from the wheelchair to the bed without the assistance of additional staff. Resident #100 sustained a fall to
the floor during the transfer, resulting in a left femur fracture. This affected one resident (#100) of three
residents reviewed for falls. The facility census was 84.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #100 revealed an admission date of 01/13/25. Diagnoses
included cerebral infarction (stroke), spastic hemiplegia (causes muscle tightness and involuntary
contractions on one side of the body), diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, seizures, depression, anxiety, foot drop
(difficulty lifting the front part of the foot), and hypertension.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for Resident #100 revealed no information for this
resident due to the length of stay in the facility.
Review of the care plan, dated 01/14/25, revealed Resident #100 had an activities of daily living (ADLs)
self-performance deficit and required staff assistance related to hemiplegia, foot drop, cerebral infarction,
and overall medical condition. Interventions included total staff dependence with transfers and the resident
required the assistance of one or more staff with transfers.
Review of the facility Therapy to Nursing Communication Form, dated 01/14/25 and completed by Physical
Therapy Assistant (PTA) #40, revealed Resident #100 had left-sided hemiplegia due to a previous cerebral
infarction and was evaluated to need two staff assistance for all transfers. Further review revealed Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN) #10 acknowledged the communication on 01/14/25.
Review of a nursing progress note, dated 01/15/25 at 12:35 P.M., revealed LPN #30 immediately responded
to the room of Resident #100 after hearing her screaming in pain. Upon arrival, she witnessed CNA #20
and Resident #100 both on the floor, after an attempted transfer. Further review revealed Resident #100
was screaming in excruciating left hip pain. LPN #30 documented she was unable to complete an
assessment due to the position of both CNA #20 and Resident #100. In addition, the note

documented Resident #100 stated that during the transfer, both of their legs (Resident #100 and CNA #20)
had gotten tangled, causing them both to fall to the floor.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Review of a nursing progress note, dated 01/15/25 at 4:25 P.M., revealed Resident #100's father reported
to LPN #30 via telephone correspondence that the resident had a fractured left hip and would be awaiting
an orthopedic consultation at the hospital.
Review of the Fall Investigation note for Resident #100, dated 01/16/25, revealed Resident #100 had a fall
with major injury related to staff assisting the resident and both falling to the floor when the resident's legs
became entangled with CNA #20. It further stated the resident's left lower extremity range of motion was
abnormal, as she was unable to move it due to extreme pain.
Review of CNA #20's written statement, dated 01/16/25, revealed Resident #100 wanted to get into her bed
from her wheelchair. Their legs became tangled during the transfer, which caused both of them to fall.
Interview on 02/22/25 at 8:24 A.M. with Resident #100's family member revealed the resident sustained a
fractured left hip, requiring the placement of a metal rod in her left leg, as a result of the fall on 01/15/25. He
further added that the resident transferred to another facility following her hospitalization.
A telephone interview on 02/22/25 at 10:40 A.M. with CNA #20 revealed she was seven months pregnant at
the time of the incident with Resident #100. CNA #20 stated she was informed Resident #100 was a
one-person staff assist for transfers, but did not confirm this information. CNA #20 stated during Resident
#100's transfer, their legs become entangled, causing both of them to fall to the floor. She verified she was
the only staff member in the room at the time of the fall and further confirmed Resident #100 began
screaming in pain after the fall to the floor. CNA #20 denied knowledge of the therapy communication form,
completed on 01/14/25, which indicated Resident #100 was to be a two-person staff assist with transfers.
An interview on 02/22/25 at 11:50 A.M. with LPN #30 revealed she had responded to Resident #100's room
on 01/15/25 when she heard the resident screaming in pain. LPN #30 verified Resident #100 had fallen
after CNA #20 attempted to transfer her alone.
An interview on 02/22/25 at 12:10 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the therapy
communication form completed on 01/14/25 indicated Resident #100 required two-person staff assistance
with transfers due to her medical conditions. The DON verified Resident #100's fall occurred after this
assessment had been completed and acknowledged by LPN #10 and only one staff (CNA #20) assisted
with the resident's transfer at the time of the fall on 01/15/25. The DON further confirmed the facility
received report from the father of Resident #100 on 01/15/25 that the resident's left hip was fractured and
required surgical intervention. The DON revealed the facility did not have hospital records related to the
incident because the resident did not return to the facility.
Review of the facility policy titled, Falls, dated September 2021, revealed, based on previous evaluations
and current data, the staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try
to prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling.
Review of the undated facility policy titled, Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), revealed
