Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of one sampled resident (Resident 33) was assisted by two people during transfer from wheelchair to bed, and when using a Hoyer Lift (mechanical lift device with sling used to transfer residents between the bed and the chair or other location using electrical or hydraulic power). This deficient practice placed Resident 33 at risk for falls or accidents during transfers when using the Hoyer lift that could lead to injuries including possible fractures and a decline in the resident's wellbeing.
Findings: During a review of Resident 33's admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 33 on 11/19/2022 with diagnoses that included, osteoporosis (a condition in which bones become weak and brittle) and contracture (a condition of shortening of muscle, tendons or other tissue leading to deformity, rigidity of the joints and lead to pain with limited or no joint movement). During a review of Resident 33's History and Physical, dated 6/15/2023, indicated Resident 33 does not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 33' Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning tool), dated 10/10/2023, indicated Resident 33 had severely impaired cognition (ability to think and reason) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 33 was totally dependent (helper does all of the effort to complete the activity with the assistance of 2 or more helpers) on lying to sitting on side of bed, chair/bed-to-chair transfer, and tub/shower transfer. During an observation on 11/10/2023 at 12:31 PM in Resident 33's room, Resident 33 was at the foot of her bed sitting in the wheelchair with a Hoyer sling (a sling creates a hammock to cradle a person when transferring with a mechanical lift). In a concurrent interview Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 stated, she was going to transfer Resident 33 from her wheelchair to the bed. CNA 1 positioned the Hoyer Lift in front of Resident 33 and did not request assistance from other staffs. CNA 1 attached four sling hooks onto the sling attachment points of the Hoyer Lift. Then CNA 1 moved behind Resident 33 and stood behind the Hoyer Lift facing Resident 33. CNA 1 informed Resident 33 that she will lift her up now, then, CNA grabbed the Hoyer Lift remote control and pressed button to lift up resident from the wheelchair to the bed. The Surveyor immediately stopped CNA 1. CNA 1 stated she was going to transfer Resident 33 with the Hoyer Lift by herself. CNA 1 stated the Hoyer Lift should be operated by two people, and she was in hurry to transfer the resident and forgot to get assistance from other staffs. CNA 1 stated it was important to use have two people to transfer Resident 33 from the wheelchair to the bed with the Hoyer Lift for the resident's safety. During an interview on 11/11/2023 at 5:16 PM with the Acting Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated a Hoyer Lift required two people to operate. The ADON stated one person could not operate the Hoyer Lift remote control and watch over the resident to prevent fall or injury at the same time during transfer. The ADON stated when using the Hoyer Lift, one person should operate the remote control and another person stays next to the resident to prevent the resident from fall and injury during the transferring process.
