DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN EXAMPLE OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE.
Based on medical record review, staff interview, review of facility policy, review of facility investigation
documentation, and review of facility corrective action documentation, the facility failed to ensure staff
utilized a mechanical lift safely during transfer of Resident #1. Actual harm occurred when two state tested
nurse aides lifted Resident #1 with a mechanical lift from a wheelchair and one lift sling strap became
dislodged causing Resident #1 to fall to the floor. As a result of the fall Resident #1 sustained subdural
hematoma and required hospitalization. This affected one (#1) of three residents reviewed for mechanical
lift transfers in a facility census of 112.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record revealed Resident #1 admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included
dementia, acute respiratory distress, type II diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular disease, major
depression, vitamin D deficiency, hypertension, anemia, spinal stenosis, heart failure, urinary incontinence,
anxiety disorder, right hand contracture, and dysphagia. The resident no longer resides at the facility.
Review of the Minimum Data Set assessment, dated 07/06/23, Resident #1 was assessed with severely
impaired cognition, dependent on staff for activities of daily living, required two plus staff for transfer and
bed mobility, and utilized a wheelchair for mobility.
Review of the plan of care dated 01/10/17 revealed Resident #1 needed assistance with activities of daily
living due to diagnoses of dementia, osteoarthritis, diabetes mellitus and spinal stenosis. Interventions
initiated on 06/09/17 included the use of a mechanical full lift with two assist for transfers and and an
intervention dated 12/14/17 identified to use two assist for care.
Review of nursing progress notes on 07/30/23 at 12:30 P.M. revealed Resident #1 was being lifted back to
bed using a mechanical (Hoyer). The nurse (Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #300) heard a thunk at the
nurses station and was about to go down to see what happened when state tested nurse aide (STNA) #200
came out of the resident's door and yelled for help. LPN #300 went to assess situation and found Resident
#1 was laying on the floor on her stomach and face forward. Resident #1 had a goose egg on the right side
of her head. Vital signs included a blood pressure of 169/101, pulse of 84, and respirations of 18. A pain
review noted Resident #1 with verbal/non-verbal signs/symptoms revealing the resident was in pain to the
head. Resident #1 rated her pain as a six on a scale of zero to ten. Faces pain scale revealed Hurts even
more. Emergency Medical Services (EMS/911) was called.

Resident #1 was unable to describe what happened, just stating Get me off the floor. At 12:38 P.M. EMS
arrived and at 12:50 P.M. Resident #1 was transported to the hospital. On 07/30/23 at 4:50 P.M. LPN #300
documented Resident #1 was being admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis subdural hematoma.
Review of a witness statement on 07/30/23 by STNA #200 revealed STNA #200 and STNA #201 entered
Resident #1's room and brought in the Hoyer lift. The STNAs pushed the lift up to the resident and hooked
the black sling (pad) loops on top and the green loops on the bottom with the sling legs criss crossed. They
then raised the resident all the way up until the lift stopped. STNA #201 was holding onto the Hoyer as
STNA #200 pulled the resident's chair out of the was to allow STNA #201 to push the resident over to her
bed. As soon as the chair was moved back, the Hoyer pad came loose and dropped the resident. STNA
#201 went to get a nurse while STNA #200 stayed with the resident. STNA #200 stated the Hoyer pad was
observed with no obvious rips or tears.
Review of a witness statement on 07/30/23 by STNA #201 revealed STNA #200 and STNA #201 were
getting Resident #1 from her chair to bed. They hooked the resident to the Hoyer pad, which had no
rips,and crossed the pad between her legs and supported her. The STNAs hooked the black loops on top
and green loops on the bottom. Resident #1 was stable going up and did not move the Hoyer. Then as she
was lifted up all the way, STNA #200 moved the chair back. Resident #1 was not touching on the chair any
longer and the top of the Hoyer pad came loose and Resident #1 fell. The STNAs immediately got the
nurse and STNA #201 stayed with Resident #1 as nurse came to assess and Emergency Medical
Technicians came.
Review of LPN #300's statement dated 07/30/23 noted LPN #300 to respond to Resident #1's room after
STNA #201 yelled for her. Resident #1 was observed laying on the floor. Resident #1 mumbled something

Resident #1 for injuries and measured her scalp wound with no open areas discovered. Resident #1 still
had a wig on and EMS removed the wig to see goose egg which RN #400 had measured.
Review of of RN #400's witness statement on 07/31/23 revealed the STNAs called out for a nurse. LPN
#300 and RN #400 responded to Resident #1's room. RN #400 looked into the room and the mechanical
(Hoyer) lift was there with three of four straps (loops) in place. Resident #1 was on the floor on her
stomach. Resident #1 was turned onto her right side. RN #400 assessed the resident with Resident #1
stating the only pain was to her head. Upon looking under the resident's wig a 9.5 centimeter (cm) by 9.0
cm raised area was discovered. EMS arrived, assessed the resident, and transported her to the hospital.

transferring Resident #1 using the mechanical lift with assistance from STNA #200. Resident #1 was
propelled in a tilt style wheelchair into her room. The mechanical lift sling was already in place under the
resident. STNA#201 placed the lift over the resident from the direction of the resident's feet and was
utilizing the controls. STNA #201 opened the legs of the lift to place the lift mechanism over the resident.
STNA #200 hooked the sling to the lift with the black loops on the lift hooks which extended behind the
residents shoulders. STNA #201 took the lower sling straps and placed the black loops to the lift hooks by
criss crossing the sling under the residents thighs and hooking the left side to the right hook and right loop
to the left hook. STNA #201 lifted the resident using the electronic control to the highest point. STNA #200

called for help. RN #400 and LPN #300 responded and initiated an assessment of the resident, followed by
calling 911. STNA #201 was unable to verbalize how the resident fell from the lift or verify all lift sling loops
were in place.
Review of the facility policy titled Mechanical Lift Transfer Policy, revised August 2023, revealed attaching
the sling to lift. Attach the loops nearest the residents shoulders, to the hanger bar hooks of the lift nearest
each shoulder using the same length and color of loop strap on each side. Take the sling leg lying over the
left leg, cross it over and attach it on the hook of the hanger bar located on the right side of the resident.
Next take the sling leg lying over the right leg, cross it over and attach it on the hook of the hanger bar
located on the left side of the resident using the same length and color of loop strap on each sling leg.
Make a final check of all four loop attachment points to ensure each loop is sufficiently attached to the
respective hook hanger bars. Resident is now ready to be lifted.
Interview on 09/11/23 at 7:15 A.M. the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #1 sustained a
subdural hematoma due to falling from a Hoyer lift. STNA #200 and STNA #201 did not ensure the Hoyer
lift sling remained in place with all sling straps affixed to the lift throughout the transfer. As a result of the
incident the facility implemented corrective action to prevent further mechanical lift related occupancies.
As a result of the deficient practice, the facility has implemented corrective action, which was completed as
of 08/30/23, as follows:
