Residents Affected - Few
Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must
establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record reviews, review of grievance forms, observations, staff interviews, review of two employee
files, and policy review, the facility staff failed to implement their policy and provide appropriate and timely
resolution to one resident's responsible family member's grievance concerning safe Hoyer transfers. This
affected one (Resident #1) of five residents reviewed for grievances. The facility census was 61.
Findings include:
1. Clinical record review for Resident #1 revealed an admission date of 12/30/22 with diagnoses including
stroke, diabetes, aphasia, anxiety, and bi-polar disorder. He received hospice services since 05/10/24.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had severely
impaired cognition and could not respond or be interviewed.
Review of the care plan revised 11/20/23 revealed the resident was at high risk for falls and required staff
total assistance for all activities of daily living including Hoyer transfers.
Review of the Concern/Grievance forms revealed on 03/11/24, Resident #1's daughter sent Social Service
(SS) #80 a text message requesting a sign be posted in the room that two staff were to operate the Hoyer
lift for transfers; the information was reported to the Director of Nursing (DON). On 03/25/24, Resident #1's
daughter sent a video recording to SS #80 of evening shift (7:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M.) staff using a Hoyer lift
with one staff member to transfer Resident #1; the information was shared with the management team. On
04/01/24, Resident #1's daughter sent a second video to SS #80 of evening shift staff using a Hoyer lift
alone to transfer the resident; the nursing department was notified. On 04/02/24, the DON documented on
a Concern/Grievance form that she observed the video of State Tested Nurse Aides (STNAs) using the
Hoyer lift alone and spoke to Resident #1's daughter in the dining area. The DON would educate the staff
and hang a sign in the room.
On 04/09/24 at 1:10 P.M., the surveyor observed the two video recordings on SS #80's phone taken from a
camera in Resident #1's room. The first recording received on 03/25/24 revealed the back of a dark skinned
STNA transferring Resident #1 alone from his bed to his broda chair using a Hoyer lift. The second
recording received on 04/01/24 revealed a different STNA wearing a mask transferring Resident #1 alone
from his bed to his broda chair using a Hoyer life. At that time SS #80 verified she did not know the STNAs
transferring the resident using a Hoyer lift alone. The surveyor observed the sign posted and signed by the
DON in Resident #1's room that stated, Hoyers were to be used with two staff members. If I see or hear of
staff using the Hoyer without assistants, I will terminate you no questions asked!!!

Interview on 04/09/24 at 1:37 P.M. with the Administrator revealed he had not observed the two videos sent
by Resident #1's daughter. He watched the two videos with the surveyor at that time and could not identify
the two STNAs using the Hoyer alone. The surveyor showed the Administrator the sign the DON posted in
Resident #1's room and he agreed the sign was inappropriate for any resident's room. He verified there
were no resident accidents with the Hoyer lift.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 04/09/24 at 2:30 P.M. revealed Human Resource #95 identified the two STNAs in the videos
as night STNAs #100 and #104 after surveyor intervention.
Interview with the DON on 04/10/24 at 9:45 A.M. revealed she did not observe videos until 04/02/24 and
could not identify the STNAs in the video. The DON was informed the morning of 04/10/24 of who the two
STNAs were in the videos and stated she would initiate an investigation. There was text training sent to all
staff on 04/01/24 regarding the use of Hoyer's by two staff. She followed up with additional training for
nursing staff on 04/02/24 and with the sign she posted in Resident #1's room regarding the Hoyer transfers
with two staff only.
The surveyor reviewed the employee files for two night shift STNA #104 hired 10/25/23 and STNA #100
hired 11/08/23. There was no evidence of counseling for the staff regarding improper Hoyer lift transfers.
Interview with Human Resource Manager #95 on 04/10/24 at 1:15 P.M. verified there was no counseling in
the employee files regarding the improper Hoyer lift transfers noted on the videos for STNAs #100 and
#104.
Review of the policy titled, Using a Mechanical Lift, dated July 2017 revealed at least two STNAs were
needed to safely move a resident with a mechanical lift.
Review of the policy titled, Response to Detected Issues and Remediation Policy and Procedure, dated
2022 revealed all suspected violations of compliance was investigated within a reasonable time. The
investigation contained a description of the investigation, copies of interviews and key documents, a log of
witnesses interviewed, the results of the investigation, any disciplinary action taken and the corrective
action implemented.
This deficiency was an incidental finding found during the course of the complaint investigation.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record reviews, review of grievance forms, observations, staff and resident interviews, review of two
employee files, and policy review, the facility staff failed to provide safe and appropriate lift transfers and
failed to complete an investigation when staff transferred a resident alone with a Hoyer lift. This affected one
(Resident #1) observed for safe Hoyer lift transfers. Additionally, the facility failed to provide adequate
interventions and/or supervision to ensure a resident who was assessed as being at risk for elopements did
not elope from the facility. This affected one (Resident #26) of one resident reviewed for elopements. The
facility census was 61.
Findings include:
1. Clinical record review for Resident #1 revealed an admission date of 12/30/22 with diagnoses including

Review of the policy titled, Using a Mechanical Lift, dated July 2017 revealed at least two STNAs were
needed to safely move a resident with a mechanical lift.
2. Clinical record review for Resident #26 revealed he was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including
major depression, psychosis and adjustment disorder. Review of the resident's Minimum Data Assessment
(MDS) dated [DATE] revealed he had intact cognition and was ambulatory. The resident had a court
appointed guardian.
Review of elopement assessments dated 01/09/24 and 03/25/24 revealed Resident #26 was a high
elopement risk because he was capable of leaving, wandering, and had an elopement history. The
interventions included using redirection techniques and alarmed/coded exit doors.
Review of the resident's care plan revised 01/25/23 revealed he was at high risk for elopement with a
history of elopement attempts and impaired safety awareness. Interventions for when the resident
attempted to leave the building unattended included providing activities that distracted him from wandering.
Review of a late entry progress note dated 04/10/24 revealed on 03/25/24 at 9:30 A.M. Resident #26 could
not be found in the facility or vicinity. The resident's guardian, physician, and police were notified he was
missing. On 03/25/24 at 11:30 P.M. the note revealed the resident returned to the facility, refused a skin
assessment, and one to one supervision was provided until further notice. The resident had no injuries.
Interview with Resident #26 on 04/10/24 at 1:50 P.M. revealed he, just walked out because he was held
here illegally when the surveyor asked him how he exited the facility on 03/25/24.
Interview with the Administrator on 04/10/24 at 2:00 P.M. revealed they were considering Resident #26's
missing from the facility as an unauthorized leave of absence because his guardian did not want him
leaving unattended. On 03/25/24, the resident was last seen at 8:00 A.M. that morning and was returned by
the police at 6:30 P.M. with no injuries. They had a soft file that outlined staff searching areas of town
starting at 9:30 A.M. that morning until his return at 6:30 P.M The Administrator did not provide the surveyor
with any additional documented investigation of how the resident exited the facility. He stated the resident
did not appear on camera leaving any of the exits including the courtyard. There were no clues when
staffed checked the windows; however, they concluded the resident must have gone out a window. Since
his return on 03/25/24 the resident had one to one staff supervision to prevent further elopements until he
could be evaluated by a psychiatrist.
