appropriate notifications. LVN B was later notified by Resident #1' s family the resident was complaining of
right leg and ankle pain. The NP was notified, and an x-ray was ordered. The x-ray revealed no fractures.
Interview on 11/13/24 at 11:30 AM with LVN B revealed when she assessed Resident #1, the resident had
been showered and put back in bed. She stated CNA A did not know how the skin tear had occurred. She
stated CNA A did not notice it until she was putting the resident back to bed. LVN B stated the injury did not
require a dressing because there was no bleeding.
Record review of the Social Worker's written statement, dated 09/05/24 reflected she was contacted on
09/03/24 by Resident #1's family complaining the resident had been handled roughly during a transfer to
the shower chair, resulting in a skin tear to her arm. The Social Worker initiated a grievance for Resident #1.
The resident's family visited the Social Worker on 09/05/24 and informed her that after viewing video
footage from Resident #1's room the resident had refused a shower, but the CNA had proceeded with the
transfer and shower.
Interview on 11/13/24 at 11:49 AM with the Social Worker revealed she had not been shown the video
footage the family referenced, and her notes and the grievance report were from her communication with
Resident #1's family.
Record review of the facility's Provider Investigation Report, signed and dated by the DON on 09/12/24,
reflected on 09/03/24 Resident #1 sustained a skin tear to her right arm, measuring 1 cm x 1.5 cm, when
she was transferred from her bed to a shower chair by CNA A. The family reported the occurrence to the
facility after seeing the incident on video recorded in the resident's room. The Provider Investigation Report
reflected after the facility learned of the incident, they suspended CNA A on 09/03/24 and then terminated
her employment.
Observation of the video, dated 09/03/24 at 11:40 AM, provided by Resident #1's family, included audio.
The video revealed Resident #1 in bed and CNA A attempting to transfer the resident from bed to a shower
chair that was on the left side of the bed. CNA A had Resident #1 sitting up in bed with her legs off the side
of the bed, with Resident #1 holding onto CNA A's shirt. Without using a gait-belt, CNA A held Resident #1
up with her hand on the back of the resident's neck. Resident #1 fell back on to the bed. CNA A then lifted
Resident #1 up with her hands under the resident's left arm and by the right arm. CNA A counted to three
and then put the resident into a shower chair. The resident complained of pain to her leg after being put into
the shower chair. The video clip did not show the resident being combative or verbally/physically resisting
care.
Interview on 11/13/24 at 2:26 PM with the Administrator and the DON revealed the family had not provided
them with the video of the transfer. During this interview, they were shown the video, and the Administrator
stated he did not know the transfer was that bad. He added that was why CNA A was terminated. The DON
stated she did not see CNA A use a gait-belt, which was against policy, as was lifting the resident by their
arms. The DON stated she had done a one-on-one in-service with CNA A on resident rights and customer
service immediately and before CNA A was suspended, but not on transfers or accident prevention.
Telephone interview was attempted on 11/13/24 at 1:10 PM and 2:35 PM with CNA A, but the attempts
were unsuccessful.
Record review of the facility's Transfers of Residents policy, dated 09/02/24, reflected:
