F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure appropriate staff assistance was provided during transfer according to the plan of care, for one of five residents (Resident A). This failure resulted to Resident A to experience physical pain and had the potential for the residents to sustain injury. Findings: On December 17, 2024, at 9:45 a.m., an unannounced visit was conducted at the facility to investigate a complaint of quality of care and a facility reported allegation of abuse. On December 17, 2024, at 11:40 a.m., an interview and concurrent record review was conducted with the Rehabilitation Program Manager (RPM). The RPM stated Resident A had weakness and flaccid (no strength) on the left side. The RPM stated Resident A required moderate to maximum assistance with transfers, and the recommendation was to have two person assist with all transfers, and a mechanical lift being the safest option. The RPM stated Resident A had left sided pain since her stroke, her left arm and leg were sensitive. The RPM reviewed Resident A ' s therapy notes and stated if Resident A complained of right shoulder pain and left hip pain, she would have been turned on her left side, if the right arm was pulled over, by turning the resident onto her weakened side, this could have cause her the discomfort she complained about. On December 17, 2024, at 1:20 p.m., an interview was conducted with Resident A. Resident A stated she was still having right shoulder pain and pain was being managed. Resident A stated CNA 1 came inside Resident A's room to give the resident a shower. Resident A stated she told CNA 1 she was going to need more than one person to transfer her to the shower chair. Resident 1 stated CNA 1 grabbed her right arm, and left leg and dragged her to the edge of the bed, she began to fall out of the bed, as she was falling. Resident A stated CNA 1 left her to get two staff members to help. Resident A stated a male CNA helped CNA 1, and finally got her back to bed. Resident A stated CNA 1 should have arranged help before moving her, and she did not use the mechanical lift. Resident A stated she had leg pain after the incident, and CNA 1 kept pushing on her hip to get her from the bed to the chair. Resident A stated CNA 1should have moved her legs off the bed first, then pivot her before trying to stand her up. On December 17, 2024, at 3:30 p.m., Resident A ' s medical record was reviewed. Resident A was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included cerebral infarction (a blood vessel to the brain is blocked), hemiplegia (muscle weakness or partial paralysis on one side of the body) (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.
