Hospitality aide B sat in a recliner in the room and talked on a phone during the transfer. On 6/29/2025 x-ray conducted in the facility revealed a displaced right proximal femur fracture (hip fracture). The noncompliance was identified as PNC. The Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) began on 6/21/2025 and ended on 6/30/2025.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few The Administrator said they discussed the incident and had a QA meeting and continued to have weekly IDT meetings and the incident was discussed weekly. The Administrator said Resident #2 was not sent out to the hospital after the fall because her family did not want to send her out. The Administrator said Resident #2 was alert and at her baseline following the fall without any change, but she did sustain a bump to the back of her head. The Administrator said she talked with the family along with hospice and they were informed of the risks and the family declined to have Resident #2 sent out to the ER. The DON said about 5 days after the incident, Resident #2 started having some swelling to her right leg and they had mobile x-ray come out as the family did not want to send her to the hospital and it revealed a displaced fracture to her right femur. The DON said the family was adamant they wanted the two staff involved to lose their certifications.

She said when she raised the lift, once she moved away from the bed, Resident #2 fell to the floor. She said the lift sling disconnected from one side, and Resident #2 was on the floor lying on her back. She said she went down and checked on her along with Hospitality aide B and made sure Resident #2 was okay, and then she left the room to get the nurse. She said she told LVN O the resident had fallen out of the Hoyer, and he went into the room with her. She said when they entered the room, Hospitality aide B had her hand on the back of the resident's head because she was bleeding. She said LVN O looked at Resident #2 and the other nurse on shift took her and Hospitality aide B's statements and told them to write it down. She said she was trained on how to use a Hoyer prior to that incident. She was taught two people were to use the lift and she just went ahead and did it without Hospitality aide B. She said Hospitality aide B was a student who was about to take her test to become certified. She said most of the time Hospitality aide B would help her but was not sure why she did not on that day. She said the DOR instructed her on how to use the Hoyer lift with return demonstration that day after the incident.

He tried to get her head to stop bleeding and assisted her up in a wheelchair. He said she was awake the entire time and never seemed like she was in pain. He said he notified the DON, Administrator, and the resident's family member. The two staff involved were in-serviced on the use of Hoyer lifts.
