The Administrator stated he was initially told that the Hoyer sling came unattached, and Resident #98 was lowered to the floor. The Administrator stated Resident #98 was a dialysis patient, and the dialysis center sends their own Hoyer slings and the STNA's thought that sling would work in their lifts. The Administrator stated he was told the STNA's attempted to tie the corner of the sling to the lift. The Administrator was told the loop by the resident's right shoulder came undone and he fell out of the sling onto his bottom and fell back and hit his head on a piece of furniture.

LPN #625 stated STNA's #537 and #522 used the dialysis' slings, which have loops instead of hooks. Interview on 01/03/24 at 3:22 P.M. with STNA #522 revealed they used the wrong Hoyer pad to transfer Resident #98 on 12/22/23 and the resident fell from the Hoyer lift and hit his bottom.

FM #700 further explained the Hoyer pad had rectangular plastic tabs that attached to the bolt like things on the lift. When STNA's #537 and #522 lifted the resident, his legs came apart causing the sling to come unattached, and he fell out of sling onto the floor. The resident's legs came out first and he fell straight down onto his bottom and then fell back and hit his head. Interview on 01/09/23 at 9:35 A.M. with the DON verified the Hoyer sling went to the hospital with the resident and the facility did not obtain the Hoyer sling from the hospital. The DON further verified the facility was unsure which sling the STNA's used for the transfer, whether it was the (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 366418 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 5 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 366418 B.
