On 03/04/25 at 1:40 PM, RN A documented Resident #1 chose to stay awake and refused to go to bed because he wanted to use the mechanical lift. She documented the mechanical lift only worked for a little while. Record review of a handwritten note, undated, signed by RN A, CNA C, CNA D, and Resident #1 revealed:
Residents Affected - Few On this day 03/03/25 to 03/04/25 I CNA C and the other CNA (CNA D) had attempted to use the mechanical lift multiple times to put Resident #1 to bed with multiple attempts. The mechanical lift would not work with multiple attempts. We (CNA C and CNA D) tried plugging it up and unplugging it. The other CNA (CNA D) was able to get it to work for 5 seconds until it no longer decided to work. During an interview on 03/11/25 at 8:21 AM, Resident #1 stated on 03/03/25 the mechanical lift was not working, so he had to sit up in his wheelchair all night until the morning of 03/04/25. He stated he did not remember the names of the staff members who were working. He stated one of the aides started with the letter M. He stated there was one nurse and two aides. He stated that when he requested to go to bed (unsure of the time), the aide (did not know her name) attempted to use the mechanical lift, which was not working. He stated that he was not in any pain, but sitting in his wheelchair was uncomfortable. He stated after he requested to go to bed and they realized that the mechanical lift was inoperable, no additional attempts to put him in bed were made because he told the staff from the beginning that he did not want the staff to get hurt or risk the chance of being dropped. Resident #1 stated that the aide did offer to have him sit at the nurse's station with her and keep her company until they could figure out what to do. He stated he did not know if the staff contacted anyone to tell them that the mechanical lift was not working. He stated he did not feel neglected. He stated he did not have a bowel movement, but if he had one, that would have been challenging. He stated he did not have a need to be changed because he has a suprapubic catheter (urinary catheter that is inserted directly into the bladder) and did not have a bowel movement. Resident #1 stated he had one of the aides write a letter for him because he could not write for himself. He stated he had them sign it. He stated the letter indicated that he could not go to bed because the mechanical lift was not working. He stated the following day when the nurse came in he was told that he could get in trouble for having the aides sign the paper. He stated he did not know the nurse's name, but he gave her the letter and told her that he did get put in bed because the mechanical lift was not working. Resident #1 stated he reported to the nurse did not want the night staff to put him in bed because there were not enough of them. He stated he did not want the staff to get hurt, nor did he want the staff to drop him. He stated he had been dropped at another facility and was afraid of falling. He stated on 03/04/25 the nurse, whom he did not know her name, called the EMS, but he refused their services. He stated he did not want EMS to assist him because in the past, when he was at home, if he called EMS, he was sent a bill. He stated he did not want to pay a bill and he felt like the facility staff were paid to take care of him and they should be the one to put him to bed. He stated after he refused, the ADM came to him and explained that he would not be billed. Resident #1 stated there was only one mechanical lift in the facility. He stated if the mechanical lift were not working, he would need more than three people to lift him. He stated that he was tall, and he was dead weight. He stated, in the past, he had at least three people on each side. He stated on 03/04/25 it took 8 people to transfer him. He stated he had three people on each side, one at his head and one at his foot. He stated he could not remember the names of the staff members who helped transfer him but was confident that the DOR assisted him. He said he felt safe and comfortable with the transfer on the morning of 03/04/25. During an interview on 03/11/25 at 10:39 AM, the DOR stated she believed 03/06/25 was when the

mechanical lift stopped working, and they had to assist in transferring Resident #1 from his wheelchair to the bed. She said it took a total of 8 people for safety and because of the weight of Resident #1. She stated Resident #1 was 300 plus pounds. She stated it was around 9:45 AM. She said she could not remember who had assisted, but she remembered it was her, the OT, the ADON, the ADM, CNA E, and maybe some other therapist and aides. She stated she did not know the details of how long he had been in his wheelchair. She stated Resident #1 came from a different facility and had always used the mechanical lift because of his size. She stated the nursing staff was responsible for training the clinical staff on the alternative transfer method if the mechanical lift was inoperable. She stated if the resident was on therapy services, therapy would have input. She stated determining an appropriate transfer for residents was for safety, weight bearing, skin integrity and ensuring that doctor orders were followed. She said nursing determined the transfer unless the resident was under therapy services. She said the facility had one mechanical lift. She said that Resident #1 alternative transfer when the mechanical lift was not working was a minimum of 4 staff should be used. She stated that it was a guess that a minimum of 4 staff should be used. She stated she was unaware of residents being left in their wheelchair for long periods. During an interview on 03/11/25 at 11:05 AM, the ADON stated the purpose of determining an appropriate transfer was to maintain overall safety. She stated therapy was responsible for determining a resident transfer. She stated if the mechanical lift was not working, the alternative was to get staff to put them in bed. She stated there were more staff during the day, and they could use therapy staff to their advantage. The ADON stated recently, there was an incident where a resident gave her a note. She stated she had discovered that the resident had been in his chair all night. The ADON said once this was brought to her attention, she started working on getting him in bed. She stated the resident did not want the staff to transfer him because he stated they (the staff) had families and did not need to hurt their backs. The ADON stated she called EMS. The ADON stated the resident said he was not going to bed and they, (the staff) could not make him. The ADON identified the resident as Resident #1. She stated she was not notified by either of the 3 staff (RN A, CNA C, and CNA D) that the mechanical lift was not working. The ADON stated that they only have 1 mechanical lift. The ADON stated that Resident #1 transfer alternative was two people when the mechanical lift was not working. She said she did not help transfer Resident #1 to bed the morning (03/04/25) after he stayed up all night. During an interview on 03/11/25 at 11:59 AM, RN A stated she worked the night shift that started on 03/03/25 and ended on 03/04/2025. She said on 03/03/25, she offered to put Resident #1 to bed, and Resident #1 refused. She stated the reasoning that Resident #1 gave was because he did not want anyone to get hurt. RN A stated that it was reported to her by the aides who worked on 03/03/25 that the mechanical lift was not working. RN A stated she did not attempt to operate the mechanical lift. She said she did not test the mechanical lift because she never had the opportunity to do so. RN A said she did not report the issue with the mechanical lift or that they could not place Resident #1 in bed the entire night because Resident #1 was not in any pain. She said Resident #1 seemed to want to be up all night. She said Resident #1 did not say specifically that he wanted to be up all night. She said she assumed he wanted to be up all night because he was up all night talking to staff. She stated she did attempt to put him in bed, but he refused because he did not want to hurt the staff. She said Resident #1 was up all night and did not sleep. She said it was customary that he stayed up late. She stated she had not received any training on the mechanical lift. She stated she had not been trained on what to do if the mechanical lift was not working. She stated that she believed they may have been able to place Resident #1 in the bed, or they could have called EMS. During an interview on 03/11/25 at 12:15 AM,

the OT stated that 03/04/25 he assisted with transferring Resident #1 from his wheelchair to his bed. He stated there were 3-4 staff on the same side that he was on. He said there were 3 to 4 staff on the other side and at least one staff supervising. He stated Resident #1 was nervous but the more staff that showed up to help Resident #1 became more comfortable. The OT stated he did not check the mechanical lift because he does not normally deal with the mechanical lift. He stated he assumed the mechanical lift had already been checked, which was why they performed the transfer. He said he assumed Resident #1 had been up since breakfast but was unsure how long Resident #1 had been up in his wheelchair. He said he does not feel like 2 people could safely do Resident #1's transfer manually because it would be unsafe due to his size. During an interview on 03/11/25 at 12:24 PM, MA F stated she worked on 03/03/25 and 03/04/25. She said she left late on 03/03/25 at 9:00 PM. She said she observed Resident #1 up in his wheelchair. She said it was not unusual for Resident #1 to be up late at night in his wheelchair. She said she returned the next day, on 03/04/25, at 7:00 AM, and noticed Resident #1 was still in his wheelchair. She said Resident #1 told her that he stayed up all night and never went to bed. She said Resident #1 said the mechanical lift was broken. She said Resident #1 wanted to wait for the DON, ADON, and the ADM so that he could talk with them. MA F said the ADON called EMS to help, but Resident #1 refused the help. She said Resident #1 said it was the facility's job to put him in bed. She said Resident #1 did not mention anything about staff attempting to put him in bed on the overnight shift. She said the mechanical lift had not stopped working before. She said this was the first time she knew Resident #1 had stayed up for 24 hours. She said if the mechanical lift was not operational, she does not believe two staff could transfer him because he was on the heavier side. She said it was her understanding that it took at least 5 people to transfer him, but she did not assist because she was on the other side of the facility. She said she did not observe the transfer but knew he was scared to be transferred as he did not want to hurt the staff. She said for sure with Resident #1, it would take at least 4 staff to transfer Resident #1 manually. She said she had not received mechanical lift training at the facility. She said there was one mechanical lift at the facility and that she had never been trained on what to do if the mechanical lift was inoperable. During an interview on 03/11/25 at 12:33 PM, CNA E stated on 03/04/25, she did not assist with transferring Resident #1 to his bed. She stated she could not help because there were too many people.

She said if the mechanical lift does not work, they will let the residents stay in bed and check on them every two hours. She said regarding Resident #1, no one knew what to do. She said they called the EMS, and Resident #1 did not want to get in bed. During an interview on 03/11/25 at 1:01 PM, CNA G stated 03/03/25 they got Resident #1 up that morning with the mechanical lift. She said the battery was not staying charged. She said they could get him in the chair with the mechanical lift. She said they asked him if he wanted to return to bed when they saw the mechanical lift not operating correctly. CNA G stated Resident #1 said he wanted to stay up in his wheelchair. She said she reported the incident to LVN I. She said she thought everyone knew about it because Resident #1 said he would also tell everyone about it.
