F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few 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 abuse and neglect for one (Resident #1) of 8 residents reviewed for neglect. On 9/2/25 the facility allowed Hospitality Aide A to perform a transfer on Resident #1 and failed to ensure she was trained and permitted per her job description to use Resident #1's personal medical transfer equipment to perform a transfer. No staff in the facility had been trained in the use of Resident #1's personal medical transfer equipment, and the Director of Therapy had asked the former DON to ensure her staff did not use the device. The transfer resulted in a fall during which Resident #1 received a fracture in her left knee. The noncompliance was identified as PNC. The IJ began on 9/2/25 and ended on 9/3/25. The facility had corrected the noncompliance before the survey began. This failure placed residents at risk for serious injuries, a decline in the resident's condition, hospitalization, or death. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's admission Sheet, not dated, reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her active diagnoses included Paraplegia (paralysis that affects the legs and not the arms), muscle weakness, unsteadiness on feet, osteomyelitis of vertebrate, and pain in thoracic spine. Record review of Resident #1's Annual MDS dated [DATE] reflected Resident #1 had a BIMS score of 15 (cognitively intact) and impaired range of motion in both lower extremities and section GG documented Resident #1 required partial to moderate assistance to transfer. Record review of Resident #1's comprehensive care plan, dated 7/14/25, reflected that she had a self-care performance deficit and required 1 staff to reposition and turn in bed, and to transfer from bed to chair. A revision of the care plan on 7/15/24 indicated that she used a sit to stand device, and it was discontinued on 9/3/25 Review of the Provider Investigation report dated 9/3/25 revealed: Resident had a fall during sit to stand transfer to the bathroom, resulting in left knee fracture . The Hospitality Aide that was assisting Resident #1 in the sit to stand transfer to the toilet was not trained or oriented to the sit to stand machine. The resident was sent to the emergency room for evaluation and pain medication was administered as ordered and as needed. There were no other negative findings at this time. Record review of a radiology report for Resident #1 dated 9/3/25 documented: There is a cortical discontinuity (interruption or fracture in the hard, dense, outer layer of bone that makes up most of the skeleton) in the lateral aspect of the left medial femoral condyle (the rounded, smooth end of the thigh bone that forms part of the knee joint), suggesting a fracture. Record review of the video evidence (Clip #1) date 9/2/25 at 6:56 PM provided by Resident #1 from her personal monitoring device located in her room, revealed Resident #1 was transferred by the Hospitality Aide A on 9/2/25 using her personal transfer equipment. The hospitality aide could not be heard in the video stating to Resident #1 that she had never used the sit to stand transfer device to perform a transfer. Resident #1 could be heard stating you have to learn when you're young. The Resident #1 is seen sitting on the transfer device while Hospitality Aide A (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

She then stated they were shorthanded that evening and she had been assigned by LVN C to work as a floater in 3 different halls. Hospitality Aide A stated she knew there was no one around to assist at that time because no one else answered the call light. Hospitality Aide A stated Resident # 1 asked her to use the sit to stand machine to transfer her to the toilet in the bathroom, so she did it anyway, knowing that she was not supposed to do a transfer.

Hospitality Aide A stated Resident #1 then said her legs were giving way and she was unable stand. Resident #1 then fell to the floor. Hospitality Aide A stated she was unable to use a gait belt to aid in the support of Resident #1. Hospitality Aide A stated she realized after the incident that she should not have done the transfer because she had not been trained and that she had no training on the use of the transfer device before the incident. Hospitality Aide A stated the facility then told Resident #1 the device would have to be taken home because it did not belong to the facility and there was no manual for its use. Hospitality Aide A stated she was suspended after the incident and was allowed to come back after 9 days when the facility completed their investigation and that is when they had the training and check off skills for her.

This resulted in a fall during a transfer in which Resident #1 received a fracture on her left knee on 9/3/25. The noncompliance was identified as PNC. The IJ began on 9/2/25 and ended on 9/3/25. The facility had corrected the noncompliance before the survey began. This failure placed residents at risk for serious injuries, a decline in the resident's condition, hospitalization, or death. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's admission Sheet, not dated, reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her active diagnoses included Paraplegia (paralysis that affects the legs and not the arms), muscle weakness, unsteadiness on feet, osteomyelitis of vertebrate, and pain in thoracic spine. Record review of Resident #1's Annual MDS dated [DATE] reflected Resident #1 had a BIMS score of 15 (cognitively intact) and impaired range of motion in both lower extremities and section GG documented Resident #1 required partial to moderate assistance to transfer. Record review of Resident #1's comprehensive care plan, dated 7/14/25, reflected that she had a self-care performance deficit and required 1 staff to reposition and turn in bed, and to transfer from bed to chair. A revision of the care plan on 7/15/24 indicated that she used a sit to stand device, and it was discontinued on 9/3/25 Review of the Provider Investigation report dated 9/3/25 revealed: Resident had a fall during sit to stand transfer to the bathroom, resulting in left knee fracture . The Hospitality Aide that was assisting Resident #1 in the sit to stand transfer to the toilet was not trained or oriented to the sit to stand machine. The resident was sent to the emergency room for evaluation and pain medication was administered as ordered and as needed. There were no other negative findings at this time. Record review of a radiology report for Resident #1 dated 9/3/25 documented: There is a cortical discontinuity (interruption or fracture in the hard, dense, outer layer of bone that makes up most of the skeleton) in the lateral aspect of the left medial femoral condyle (the rounded, smooth end of the thigh bone that forms part of the knee joint), suggesting a fracture. Record review of the video evidence (Clip #1) date 9/2/25 at 6:56 PM provided by Resident #1 from her personal monitoring device located in her room, revealed Resident #1 was transferred by the Hospitality Aide A on 9/2/25 using her personal transfer equipment. The hospitality aide could not be heard in the video stating to Resident #1 that she had never used the sit to stand transfer device to perform a transfer. Resident #1 could be heard stating you have to learn when you're young. The Resident #1 is seen sitting on the transfer device while Hospitality Aide A pushed her into the bathroom after which the resident could not be viewed by the camera. Video clip #2 - Resident #1 is not in view, but Hospitality Aide A is seen standing in the doorway of the bathroom and is heard stating I I can't get in there. I'm sorry. She turned toward the resident's room door which was closed, opened the door and stated: Let me get some help. She then left the room. The resident could be heard groaning and calling out help!.

Hospitality Aide A stated the facility then told Resident #1 the device would have to be taken home because it did not belong to the facility and there was no manual for its use. Hospitality Aide A stated she was suspended after the incident and was allowed to come back after 9 days when the facility completed their investigation and that is when they had the training and check off skills for her.

The administrator stated she did not know Hospitality Aide A was performing transfers without training and competency checks. She stated that her expectation was that a Hospitality Aide does not perform transfers and duties that were not included in their job description and for which they had not been trained appropriately.

He stated he communicated to the former DON that the sit-to-stand lift did not belong to the facility and there was no manual for the equipment. He stated the residents had not been checked off to use the device and the staff were not trained. He stated he made it clear to the former DON that he was not qualified to do the training, because the use of the equipment was not a part of his curriculum in therapy school. He stated he assumed everyone in the facility knew the device was used by the resident because it was in her room and it was a large piece of equipment and hard to miss. He stated he did not recall the date that he relayed this information to the former DON, but he asked her to ensure staff did not use the device. During an interview with the former DON on 10/3/25 at 4:16 PM she stated her last day at the facility was 8/15/25.
