Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #45 was cognitively intact, was dependent on others for mobility and required extensive assistance/dependence with activities of daily living (ADL). Review of Resident #45's Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was at a moderate risk for falls, was completely incontinent, had a history of falls, was confined to a chair and was unable to independently come to a standing position.

The resident then fell to the ground landing on her buttocks. Upon walking in the room, the nurse witnessed the resident sitting in the upright position on her buttocks in the Hoyer sling that was tilted over and lying on the ground. The nurse along with both CNAs and a second nurse adjusted the resident to a flat position on the ground to assess her. Upon assessment, Resident #45's vital signs included blood pressure 178/72, pulse 78, respirations 20, oxygen saturation was 94 percent on room air, temperature was 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (F).

On 6/13/25 beginning at 4:17 P.M. the DON assessed all Hoyer lift residents with no ill effects noted. On 6/14/25 at 7:00 A.M. the DON observed the weight capacity on the lift and ensured it was appropriate size for the resident that was transferred. The lift's weight capacity was noted to be appropriate for the resident's weight. The Hoyer lift was inspected on 06/14/25 at 8:30 A.M. by the facility Maintenance Director #547 and found to be in proper working order. On 6/14/25 at 8:30 A.M. the Maintenance Director #547 inspected all mechanical lifts to ensure they were in good repair and functioning appropriately. From 6/13/25 through 6/18/25 the DON completed Hoyer lift competency training and re-education with all licensed nursing staff and CNA staff. The facility planned to monitor its performance to make sure that solutions were sustained by having the DON or designee directly observing the nursing staff performing mechanical lift transfers three times weekly time four weeks, then as determined by the Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) committee.
