prevent accidents.
Based on clinical record review, review of facility documentation, and resident and staff interview, it was
determined that the facility failed to ensure that the resident environment remains free of accident hazards
for two of two residents reviewed (Residents 1 and 2).
Findings include:
Clinical record review for Resident 1 revealed a diagnosis list that indicated the resident is dependent on
renal dialysis.
Current physician orders for Resident 1 indicated the resident had a chair time for dialysis (a procedure to
remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys stop working properly) at a
dialysis center three days a week. The resident utilizes a wheelchair and is transported to and from these
appointments by the facility.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS, an assessment completed at specific intervals to
determine care needs) for Resident 1 dated June 11, 2024, indicated that staff had assessed the resident
as having a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) of 15, which indicated the resident was not cognitively
impaired.
An interview with Resident 1 on July 11, 2024, at 2:19 PM revealed the resident was being transported in
the transport van and stated, I fell out of the wheelchair. When asked if he had a seatbelt on the resident
stated, Nope.
Review of the job position summary for the Transport Driver position revealed a position responsibility that

chair during transport and slid a few feet and top of head hit the chair in front of him. He stated he did not
have his seatbelt on. The resident reported some pain in his lower back and some pain in his neck when he
turned his head. The interview further asked if the resident thought to ask someone about his seatbelt and
he said he knew something was different but did not think to ask.
A witness statement with the date of event noted as July 3, 2024, from Employee 1, transport driver,

Facility documentation titled, Transport Investigation Questionnaire, with no date, revealed a question to
Resident 1 that noted, During transport to your recent appointments were you secured in the vehicle with a
seat belt? The resident reply was documented as, No, I noticed something was different, but it didn't
register until she hit the brakes. Wheelchair was locked / strapped in, it's just I wasn't.

Investigation, that the seat belt was not attached to the resident.

cartilage, or bone in the ulcer) to the sacrum (a bone in the lower back).
Current physician orders dated June 28, 2024, indicated Resident 2 was ordered Dakin's half strength 0.25

BIMS of 11, which indicated some cognitive impairment.

further evaluation.
An interview with Resident 2 on July 11, 2024, at 2:25 PM indicated the resident remembered the event
and had taken a sip of what looked like water that was in a white Styrofoam cup located on her bedside
table. Resident 2 further reported she may have swallowed some of the solution and my mouth started to
burn. The resident then realized it was not water in the cup.
