Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **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 closed medical record review, facility policy review and interview, the facility failed to ensure Resident #88 was provided with necessary and adequate care and services to prevent accidents with injury during staff assisted care. This affected one resident (#88) of three residents who were investigated for accidents. The facility census was 87. Actual Harm occurred on 08/30/25 when Resident #88, who had severe cognitive impairment and was dependent on staff for activities of daily living sustained a fractured distal medial femoral metadiaphysis when staff failed to ensure the resident's foot was not caught under her wheelchair while being transported by staff. Actual harm also occurred on 10/03/25 when staff members failed to secure Resident #88 in the Hoyer (mechanical) lift during a transfer, which resulted in a fractured right upper extremity/elbow. Findings include: Review of the closed medical record revealed Resident #88 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of unspecified dementia, early onset Alzheimer's disease, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, osteoarthritis and muscle wasting. Resident #88 was discharged to another skilled nursing facility on 10/06/25. Review of Resident #88's care plan dated 12/21/23 revealed the resident had difficulty with communication related to moderate hearing impairment and impaired cognition and was sometimes understood and rarely/never understood others. Interventions included facing the resident while talking and giving the resident time to respond with each interaction. The care plan also revealed Resident #88 was at risk of falls and required a Hoyer lift for all transfers. The care plan also noted the resident used a wheelchair daily. The use of elevating leg rests was added to the wheelchair on 09/03/25. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of three out of 15, indicating Resident #88 had severe cognitive impairment. The assessment revealed Resident #88 was dependent on staff for all activities of daily living (ADL) and mobility. Review of Resident #88's fall risk assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was at high risk for falls with a score of 13.

LPN# 527 then obtained an order for an x-ray of the left knee. Review of the result of Resident #88's left knee x-ray from 08/31/25 revealed a displaced oblique periprosthetic fracture of the distal medial femoral metadiaphysis and a recommendation for an orthopedic consultation. The facility investigation dated 08/31/25 revealed a knee injury occurred on 08/30/25. Resident #88 was complaining of knee pain on the evening of 08/30/25 after her foot went under her wheelchair while she was being pushed back to her room after dinner. The resident was medicated with Tylenol by LPN #507 but complained of knee pain when her knee was touched or her leg was moved.

Review of the facility's policy titled Hoyer Lift - One Piece Sling with Straps revised November 2024 revealed Hoyer slings are to be placed half-way under the resident so the lower edge is slightly below the knees and the resident should be centered on the sling with the lower edge right behind the resident's knees. The deficient practice was corrected on 10/13/25 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions: The facility completed an audit to review all current facility residents to determine if leg rests were in place/available for residents that require assistance with wheelchair mobility. This quality assurance (QA) audit was completed on 09/01/25 by the facility QA nurse. Leg rests that were identified as needed through the audit were provided and this added to the Kardex /care plan by the facility MDS nurse by 09/05/25. On 09/02/25, a new order was obtained for Resident #88 to be up in a Broda chair (tilt-in-space positioning chair) with elevating leg rests. Her care plan was updated on 09/03/25 to reflect this change. An ad-hoc quality assurance and performance improvement (QAPI) meeting was held on 09/02/25 to review wheelchair transport on 08/30/25 for Resident #88. A plan of action was discussed and developed to include actions already taken by the facility. The medical director was also notified of the incident with Resident #88 by the facility DON on 09/02/25. Re-education was initiated with all CNA's on making sure leg rests are in place on wheelchairs for residents that require assistance with wheelchair mobility or determined to need leg rests for transport. The re-education was provided by the facility QA nurse and CNA supervisor and was started on 09/02/25 and completed by 10/12/25. Observation audits were initiated on 09/08/25 and were done by the facility QA nurse. Observation audits of 10 residents three times a week. Any issues identified during the audits will be immediately addressed with the individual responsible. Audits will be reviewed by the QAPI at the next three QAPI meetings. Immediate inspection of the Hoyer lift was completed by the charge nurse on 10/03/25, and no issues with the Hoyer lift were found. On 10/03/25, CNAs #578 and #571 were immediately in serviced by charge nurse on the Hoyer Lift policy.

The medical director was notified by the facility corporate nurse on 10/06/25. All clinical staff were educated on the Hoyer lift transfer policy by the QA Nurse and CNA supervisor. The education began on 10/03/25 and was completed by 10/13/23. All CNAs had a Hoyer lift competency completed by the facility QA nurse or CNA supervisor and follow up Hoyer lift Quiz. All residents that require a Hoyer lift trans-fer were assessed for appropriate size lift pad on 10/06/25 by the facility QA nurse. Hoyer lift observation audits were completed by the QA Nurse four times a week for four weeks. All observation audits will be reviewed by the QAPI committee at the next three QAPI meetings.
