jeopardy to resident health or
safety
Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from neglect for
two of three residents (Resident #127 and Resident #56) reviewed for abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
Residents Affected - Few
1.
The facility failed to provide timely transportation for Resident #127 when he was finished with his medical
appointment, being wheelchair bound, offsite from the facility. On 9-10-2024 Resident #127 was not picked
up by a transportation driver for over 4 hours causing him to miss his lunch meal, pain medication time for
Tramadol PRN every 4 hours (which the resident could have received at 11:00 AM but did not), causing
psychosocial harm (resident was crying and felt abandoned which was exacerbated due to the resident's
post-traumatic stress disorder).
2.
The facility failed to provide timely transportation for Resident #56 on 09-09-2024 due to the van lift
malfunction and required his appointment to be rescheduled. The facility failed to provide timely
transportation for Resident #56 on 09-10-2024 and was approximately an hour late for his appointment.
A IJ was identified on 9-11-2024. The IJ template was provided to the facility on 9-11-2024 at 3:33 PM.
While the IJ was removed on 9-11-2024, the facility remained out of compliance at a severity level of no
actual harm and a scope of pattern due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective
systems.
This failure placed residents at risk for neglect causing pain, mental anguish, or emotional distress.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #127's face sheet dated 9-11-2024, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old male
with an admission date of 6-21-2024. His diagnoses include fracture of the left femur (a break in the left
thighbone), anxiety disorder, type 2 diabetes, PTSD (a mental disorder that develops in some people who

wheelchair, by a family friend in an upset mood. The family friend #1 pushed Resident #127 into his
bedroom.
In an observation and interview on 9-10-2024 at 1:37 PM, it was revealed, by family friend #1, that Resident

wait, she asked family friend #1 if he would bring Resident #127 back to the facility. Resident #127's Family
Member #1 said this has happed before on medical appointments but could not name specific times.
In an interview on 9-10-2024 at 2:05 PM the Transportation Manager revealed she has worked at the facility
since 12-2023. The Transportation Manager said the facility use to outsource driving residents but due to
budget cuts and unreliable service, the facility uses 1 van and 2 inhouse drivers. The Transportation
Manager said the facility brought residents to their medical appointments including dialysis. The
Transportation Manager said transportation has been a problem since she has worked at the facility
because the nursing staff haven't had the residents dressed on time or haven't had the necessary
paperwork ready, and the facility only has one van servicing the entire facility. The Transportation Manager
said the reason Resident #127 wasn't picked up this morning for 4 hours, after his appointment was
finished, was that Driver B was picking up and dropping off other residents. The Transportation Manager
said the concern for residents who are not picked up from their appointments timely was that some of them
could have been diabetic or have other medical problems they may have needed help with. She stated that
the facility tried to outsource transportation for Resident #127 but the resident would have to wait longer.
The Transportation Manager said in her opinion the facility needed more transportation vehicles and drivers
to meet the demand of the facility. The Transportation Manager said the facility did not keep a transportation
log of when residents arrived at appointments nor when they were picked up from the facility. The
Transportation Manager said she was told by the Administrator to not outsource any driving for the facility
due to budget cuts. Resident #56 also had an appointment with an orthopedic.
In an interview with the Orthopedic Doctor's Office Staff for Resident #127 on 9-10-2024 at 4:53 PM, it was
revealed that Resident #127 completed his medical appointment on 9-10-2024 at 9:12 AM and the staff
called Driver B, at that time, to pick up Resident #127. The Orthopedic Doctor's Office Staff for Resident
#127 said they made a 2nd call to Driver B at 10:26 AM telling her Resident #127 was ready to be picked
up. The Orthopedic Doctor's Office Staff for Resident #127 said at 11:50 AM Driver B called them saying
she was on her way to pick up Resident #127.
In an interview with Driver B on 9-11-2024 at 11:10 AM, it was revealed she has worked at the facility since
8-14-2024. Driver B said there was only 1 van and 2 drivers for the entire facility. Driver B said the facility
does not provide a facility phone to keep in touch with the facility, the doctor's office, or the residents. Driver
B said the reason she was so late in picking up Resident #127 yesterday was because the facility had her
going to so many appointments for other residents, she could not pick Resident #127 up timely. Driver B
said she did not get back to Resident #127's location to around 1:00 PM. Driver B said picking up residents
for their medical appointments and bringing them back to the facility has been a problem since she has
worked at the facility. Driver B said the concern for residents being picked up late from their appointments
was when they sit so long there could be potential health risk as they may be feeling weak from dialysis
appointment or may need something to eat.
In interview with Driver B on 09/11/2024 at 11:07 AM she stated that she left late for Resident #56's
appointment because Resident #56 was not ready when she arrived to transport him. She stated this was
an ongoing issue that she has reported to her the Transportation Manager. She stated that Resident #56's
appointment was at 9:15 AM but she was not able to leave the facility until 9 or 10 AM and returned
Resident #56 to the facility around 11 AM. She stated that Resident #56 was late to his appointment but
was seen by the doctor.

almost missed that appointment, but the doctor was nice enough to take him late. She stated she was
infuriated that she cannot depend on the facility to take Resident #56 to his appointments on time. She

and she needs to trust the facility to reliably take him to his appointments for his overall healing and
wellbeing.

about the specifics of Resident #56's transportation information and requested to review her

In an interview on 9-12-2024 at 10:30 AM, it was revealed that LVN C had worked at the facility for 20 years
on the 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM shift. LVN C said she was in-serviced on transportation which covered keeping
a special log for resident's name, time of appointment, time of pickup from the appointment, who the doctor
was, and what was the resident seeing the doctor for. LVN C said the charge nurses would be responsible
to ensure the residents are dressed, have their medications, have their paperwork for their appointments,
and have eaten breakfast. LVN C stated the nurses would also enter this information in PCC. LVN C stated
if a resident has not returned within 3 hours of leaving the facility, the nurse would contact the doctor's
office to see if the appointment is finished and then would contact the driver to be picked up. LVN C said the
potential risk to a resident, not being picked up timely, was It could be a potential for a lot of things such as
they could be diabetic, they could get tired and may be a fall risk, and there could be incidents in the van or
at the doctor's office. LVN C said the charge nurses would oversee the tracking of transportation and would
make entries into Nursing Notes in PCC.
In an interview on 9-12-2024 at 10:50 AM, LVN D said she had worked at the facility for 3 months on the
6:00 AM-2:00 PM shift and had been in-serviced on transportation. LVN D said the in-service included: the
incident concerning Resident #127, the nurses were responsible for documenting in the transportation log
when residents leave for appointments and put the information into PCC. LVN D stated if a resident was
transported and gone for over 3 hours, the nurses were to call the doctor's office to see if the resident has
been seen. LVN D stated the nurses were responsible the residents were tracked getting to an appointment
and returning to the facility. LVN D said the risk to the resident not being timely transported was they could
miss a treatment, appointments, and cause them not to get medicines on time.

was working the 6:00 AM - 2:00 PM shift. LVN E said she had been in-serviced on transportation. LVN E
said there were new protocols put in place as the nurses were to check the transportation schedule and
see what residents were on the schedule for that day. LVN E said there was a paper log where nurses enter
patients name, destination, time of appointment, how the resident transports (stretcher, wheelchair, walk),
and if the driver was from the facility or outsourced. LVN E said that the nurses were to call the doctor's
office to see if there was a hold up or if the resident was waiting to be picked up. LVN E said the nurses will
call the dialysis facility if a resident was over an hour late in getting back to the facility. LVN E said the risk to
residents that were not picked up timely from appointments could be their blood sugar dropping, not getting
medicines on time, and not getting fed. LVN E said the nurses were the primary ones to keep track of
appointments by entering it into a paper transportation log and into PCC. LVN E said if a resident is over 30
minutes to an hour late getting back to the facility, she will check on them.
