CNA A was alone as she pushed shower bed from shower room to Resident #1's room. Resident #1 was observed not having a mechanical lift sling underneath him. Resident #1 said that since his admission to facility (02/21/24), facility staff had not used a mechanical lift on him. He said that the staff usually would have one person holding his shoulders and another would grab his legs to transfer from bed to chair or vice versa. Resident #1 said that he was used to being transferred by someone picking him up because he had three brothers and they usually picked him up in their arm's cradle position. Resident #1 said that he could not sit, walk, or stand due to his comorbidity. Resident #1 said that it did not hurt him when he was transferred by facility staff using his body to lift.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few of one person grabbed his shoulders and another person grabbed his legs. CNA A then called LVN C into room to assist her move Resident #1 to his bed from shower bed. LVN C asked CNA A to go and get a mechanical lift and a sling. Interview with LVN C on 06/07/24 at 3:36 PM, revealed she had been employed at the facility for two to three months. She said that she had never transferred Resident #1 until that day (6/7/24). She said that she had not observed any of the staff transfer Resident #1 using his body. She said that it sounded like Resident #1 preferred to be lifted by his body. She said the risk to the resident was that it was unsafe to be transferred this way especially if he was wet, he could be dropped. Interview with CNA A on 06/07/24 at 1:19 PM, revealed she had been employed at the facility for one month. She said that when she was shadowing another CNA during training, that (the body lift) was what she observed the other CNAs do when transferring Resident #1. CNA A said that she was only doing what she found everyone else doing in the facility. She said that she knew that she was not strong enough to lift Resident #1 by the shoulders so she usually held his feet/leg portion of his body and someone else stronger than her would lift him off by the shoulders. CNA A said that she had been trained on how to use a mechanical lift. CNA A did not state the risk for transferring Resident #1 using his body to lift him. Interview with Physical Therapist on 06/07/24 at 03:58 pm, revealed if a resident was dependent on staff to do all the lifting and could not sit on side of bed or stand, then a mechanical lift was a recommended transfer method. She said that she had not assessed Resident #1 and was unaware of his mobility level. She said that if a resident was dependent on mobility, then it should be care planned for the resident to have 2 persons assist and a mechanical lift to transfer. She said that she could not state the risk because she did not know Resident #1's mobility. Interview with DON on 06/07/24 at 6:43 PM, revealed nursing staff should not have been moving Resident #1 using his body to lift. She said after finding out about the incident on that day (6/7/24), she talked to Resident #1, and he said that the staff used a sheet to transfer him. She said that the risk to any resident being transferred using their body to lift was that it was unsafe, and they could fall, or a fracture can occur during body handling. She said that if a resident was a total dependent resident, then nursing staff needed to use a mechanical lift to transfer. She said that it was the DON, MDS nurse, and ADON's responsibility to make sure that care plans were updated. She said she was going to audit all care plans for residents with two persons assist. She said that she would review Resident #1's care plan and include a mechanical lift for transfer. Interview with Administrator on 06/07/24 at 7:15 PM, revealed he expected all staff to follow facility policy. Review of the facility's policy titled, Comprehensive Care Planning 03/18, reflected, The facility will develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessment; .The comprehensive care plan will reflect interventions to enable each resident to meet his/her objectives. Interventions are the specific care and services that will be implemented. FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 455835 If continuation sheet Page 5 of 5
