observation, interview and record review the facility failed to treat each resident with respect, dignity, and
care for each resident in a manner and in an environment that promotes maintenance or enhancement of
his or her quality of life for two (Resident #2 and Resident #3) of seven residents reviewed for dignity.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #2 was provided with a dignified dining experience, when CNA D
stood over her as she was assisting Resident #2 in eating a lunch meal service in the dining room.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #3 was provided with a dignified dining experience, when a medical
records staff stood over her as she was assisting Resident #3 in eating a lunch meal service in the dining
room.
This failure could place residents at risk for a loss of dignity, decreased self-worth, and decreased
self-esteem.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident that included measurable
objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that
were identified in the comprehensive assessment and the services that were to be furnished to attain or
maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for 1 of 7
residents (Resident #1) reviewed for care plans.
The facility failed to develop an individualized comprehensive care plan that addressed how Resident #1's
was to be physically transferred.
This deficient practice could place residents at risk of receiving inadequate interventions that were not
individualized to their care needs and at risk for injuries.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1 face sheet dated 06/07/24 reflected a [AGE] year-old male that was admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included cerebral palsy a congenital disorder of movement, muscle tone
and posture, scoliosis is a sideway curvature of the spine (cannot walk or sit upright), muscle weakness,
limitation to activity due to disability, and protein calorie malnutrition.
Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected BIMS score of 12 indicating
moderately impaired cognition. Resident could be understood, and he could understand others. He used a
custom electric wheelchair to ambulate. Functional abilities status indicated he required partial/moderate
assist in eating. He was dependent on staff to do all the effort for bed mobility, transfer, toileting, and
personal hygiene.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 05/29/24 reflected Resident #1 had ADL self-care
performance deficit. The goal was for Resident #1 to maintain or improve his current level of function in bed
mobility, transfer, eating, dressing, toilet use and personal hygiene. Interventions included the following:
Transfer- Resident #1 required total assist X2 staff participation with transfer. Bed mobility- Resident #1
required extensive assist X 2 staff participation to reposition and turn in bed.
Observation and interview with Resident #1, CNA A, and LVN C on 06/07/24 at 11:47 AM, revealed
Resident #1 in a shower bed lying on his left side. 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. He said that he had a custom-made wheelchair that he would like to get into after getting dressed.
CNA A said that LVN B assisted her to transfer Resident #1 from his bed to the shower bed and she
demonstrated how they transferred Resident #1 by motion movement

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.
