**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of a video recording, staff interview, record review, and review of the facility policy, the facility failed
to treat a resident with respect and dignity. This affected one (Resident #72) of three residents reviewed for
dignity and respect. The facility census was 69.
Findings include:
Record review for Resident #72 revealed an admission date of 08/02/24 and a discharge date of 11/02/24.
Diagnoses included dementia, diaphragmatic hernia, and muscle weakness.
Review of the Medicare five-day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident
#72 was severely cognitively impaired. Resident #72 had clear speech, was able to understand others and
was able to make self-understood. Resident #72 had impairment on both sides of lower extremities, was
dependent on staff for toileting, bed mobility, moving from a sitting to standing position, and transfers.
Review of the video footage provided by the family, dated 10/11/24 at 9:30 A.M., revealed the family had a
video camera in Resident #72's room. The video footage showed State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA)
#243 entered Resident #72's room and did not say anything upon entering. Resident #72 was lying in bed
with her eyes closed, STNA #243 did not say anything to Resident #72, and pulled Resident #72's blanket
down. Then STNA #243 stated to Resident #72 it was time to get up. Resident #72 stated No. After STNA
#243 repeated the request for Resident #72 to get up, STNA #243 left the room and immediately returned
to the room (time stamp was one second). STNA #243 did not talk to Resident #72, raised Resident #72's
bed, removed the blanket covering Resident #72 and began removing her gown. Then STNA #243 stated
Hey, you got to get up. The response from Resident #72 was not clear in the video. STNA #243 then
removed Resident #72's brief and threw it on the floor. STNA #243 did not provide peri care after removing
the old brief or prior to placing a new brief on her. STNA #243 did not talk to Resident #72 and proceed to
dress Resident #72 while in bed, pulling at Resident #72's shoulder, arms and legs multiple times to
reposition her while dressing her. Resident #72 made moaning sounds during the procedure. After placing
Resident #72's pants on, STNA #243 placed Resident #72 on her side to pull the back of her pants up.
Resident #72 grabbed the side rail with her right arm. STNA #243 then pulled at Resident #72 right arm
and right leg until she released the rail placing her back on her back side. After placing Resident #72's shirt
on, STNA #243 lowered the bed, positioned Resident #72's legs over the side of the bed. Resident #72 was
viewed stating something to STNA #243 that was not audible. STNA #243 grabbed Resident #72's hands,
Resident #72 pulled her hands back towards her chest, away from STNA #243. STNA #243 then grabbed
Resident #72's shoulders and quickly pulled her to an upright position. (Resident #72 appeared to be
flaccid and not actively participating

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
review of a video recording, staff interviews, record review, and review of the facility policy, the facility failed
to safely transfer a resident per the care plan, failed to timely assess the resident status post fall, and
document the fall in the medical record. This affected one (Resident #72) of three residents reviewed for
falls. The facility census was 69.
Findings include:
Record review for Resident #72 revealed an admission date of 08/02/24 and a discharge date of 11/02/24.
Diagnoses included dementia, calculous of the gallbladder, diaphragmatic hernia, and muscle weakness.
Review of the Medicare five-day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident
#72 was severely cognitively impaired. Resident #72 had impairment on both sides of lower extremities and
was dependent on staff for bed mobility, moving from a sitting to standing position, and transferring.
Review of the care plan dated 08/05/24 revealed Resident #72 was a fall risk characterized by impaired
balance and impaired mobility. Interventions included to assist with transfers, locomotion, and mobility.
Resident #72 was safe to transfer with two assists per nursing judgement if Resident #72 assisted with
weight bearing. In periods of non-weight bearing, Resident #72 was to be transferred via mechanical lift.
Review of the video footage provided by the family, dated 10/11/24 at 9:30 A.M. revealed there was a
camera in Resident #72's room. The footage provided revealed State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA)
#243 entered Resident #72's room. Resident #72 was lying in bed with her eyes closed. STNA #243
dressed Resident #72 while Resident #72 was lying in bed. STNA #243 then positioned Resident #72 to
the edge of the bed. Resident #72 appeared to be flaccid and not actively participating with the positioning
or transfer. Resident #72 had white socks on and no shoes. STNA #243 placed her right hand/forearm
under Resident #72's right armpit, then positioned herself behind Resident #72 and placed her left hand
under Resident #72's left armpit while attempting to lift Resident #72 up from the bed. Resident #72
continued to be flaccid, her legs were positioned forward, (not downward as in a standing position). STNA
#243 was positioned behind Resident #72 and lifted Resident #72 from the bed. Resident #72's feet slid
forward as STNA #243 was lifting her from behind. Resident #72's feet bumped into the bedside table and
positioned the right foot under the bottom leg of the table. STNA #243 unsuccessfully attempted to lift
Resident #72's back to the edge of the bed, the bedside table moved with her due to the right foot being still
located under the lower bar of the table. STNA #243 then lowered Resident #72 to the floor. Two additional
staff members (identified by Administrator as Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #209 and STNA #243)
entered the room. The three staff members picked Resident #72 up off the floor by her shoulders and arms.
Resident #72 was heard stating owe loudly. The staff members placed Resident #72 in a chair located near
the bed. LPN #209 and STNA #243 then turned and left the room. LPN #209 was observed to leave the
room and did not complete an assessment on Resident #72 for a potential injury prior to leaving the room.
Resident #72's medical record, including the progress notes and assessments, revealed no documentation
of Resident #72 being lowered to the floor or Resident #72 being assessed for injuries by a

Interview on 11/07/24 at 12:25 P.M. with STNA #243 stated she was attempting to get Resident #72 out of
bed and Resident #72 refused to get out of bed. STNA #243 stated she was told to get Resident #72 up
anyway by administrative staff. STNA #243 stated she had prior training on transferring residents but she
was not given a verbal report on how to transfer Resident #72. There was nothing available in writing on
how to transfer the resident, so she attempted to transfer her by herself. STNA #243 confirmed she lowered
Resident #72 to the floor then two staff members came in and assisted her with picking Resident #72 up off
the floor and placing her in a chair.

confirmed the Administrator previously viewed the video of Resident #72 dated 10/11/24 at 9:30 A.M. The
Administrator stated there was confusion by STNA #243 on how to transfer Resident #72. The
Administrator confirmed the transfer for Resident #72 should have involved two staff members to assist with
the transfer. Regional Clinical Service Manager #304 stated if any resident was lowered to the floor, it was
considered a fall, and the resident should be assessed at that time and confirmed the assessment should
be documented.
Review of the facility policy titled, Falls - Clinical Protocol dated 11/30/23 revealed the staff will evaluate and
document falls that occur while the individual is in the facility, for example when and where they happen,
any observations of the events, etc. An additional form provided with the policy untitled included the
