F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few needed to pull Resident 1 backwards to get through the door. The DOR stated the fire escape door that Resident 1 was using, was not meant for daily access therefore it was not equipped to get Resident 1 outside safely. The DOR stated that ultimately if the staff member determined the safest way to get Resident 1 outside was to pull him backwards and tilt the wheelchair to keep him from falling, then that was the best way.During an interview on 9/12/25 at 11:23 a.m. with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated Resident 1 was being assisted outside by the staff on 7/25/25. LVN 2 stated the CNA 5 was pulling Resident 1 backwards going outside, once the threshold was passed, the concrete was slanted down. LVN 2 stated Resident 1's wheelchair wasn't tilted by the CNA 5 at the time of fall but rather the wheelchair tilted backwards during the path outside. LVN 2 stated the CNAs, and all staff members knew not to pull any residents into the facility backwards as LVN 2 had repeatedly informed the facility staff regarding this practice. LVN 2 stated Resident 1 had used that door every time he went outside and was not informed by anyone in the facility that the fire escape door could not be used.During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/12/25 at 12:07 p.m. with Resident 1, Resident 1's wheelchair located in Resident 1's room was observed, the wheelchair appeared new with anti-tilt bars located on the back of the wheelchair next to the wheels. Resident 1 stated staff would use the fire escape door before and at the time of the fall to take him outside for smoking breaks because it was wider and could fit his wheelchair without risk of injury. Resident 1 stated he was not pulled backwards all the time it was certain staff that would do that. Resident 1 stated he had requested a new wheelchair because the wheelchair that was given to him was not safe and would sometimes tilt, which he informed the facility staff of the issues. Resident 1 stated since the wheelchair was already tilting on its own, when the staff member took him outside on 7/25/25, the concrete going downhill caused the wheelchair to completely hit the ground backwards. Resident 1 stated the motion of pulling the wheelchair backwards could have caused the wheelchair to tilt backwards.During an interview on 9/12/25 at 1:20 p.m. with the minimum data set nurse (MDS), the MDS nurse stated Resident 1 had used the fire escape door when he was given a bigger wheelchair. The MDS nurse stated the facility made an exception to allow Resident 1 to use the fire escape door because it was a wider door for the wheelchair being used at the time of admission. The MDS nurse stated after Resident 1 received a new manual wheelchair that would fit through the designated resident door leading outside, Resident 1 continued to use the fire escape door. The MDS nurse stated the path leading outside was never assessed for safety.During an interview on 9/16/25 at 1:32 p.m. with the DON, the DON stated on 7/25/25 Resident 1 was being wheeled out by CNA 5 when he fell. The DON stated CNA 5 lost control of the wheelchair causing Resident 1 to fall going through the fire escape door. The DON stated the wheelchair itself was safer going backwards due to the risk of Resident 1's wheelchair bumping the threshold that would have caused him to go forward. The DON stated it was safer to use the designated resident door that all residents in the facility used because it had rails and the concrete wasn't made to go downward.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, undated, the P&P indicated, . Based on previous evaluations and current data, the staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling. a fall is defined as unintentionally coming to rest on the ground, floor or other lower level.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Safety and Supervision of Residents, dated 7/2017, the P&P indicated, .
