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
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents received adequate
supervision and assistive devices to prevent accidents for one of six residents (Resident #1) reviewed for
accidents and supervision.
CNA A failed to transfer Resident #1 in accordance with her care plan and facility protocol when she
independently transferred Resident #1 via mechanical lift (a mechanical device used to safely transfer
individuals with limited mobility, typically those who are unable to bear weight or have difficulty moving
independently, from one place to another, such as a bed, chair, or wheelchair). As a result, Resident #1 fell
from the mechanical lift and sustained a head laceration that required staples.
The noncompliance was identified as past noncompliance (PNC). The Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) began on
02/21/25 and ended on 03/04/25. The facility had corrected the noncompliance before the investigation
began.
This failure could place residents at risk for serious accidents/injuries and/or death.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1's Face Sheet, dated 03/12/25, reflected she was an [AGE] year-old female, who
admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere
(dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life,
encompassing memory loss, thinking, and behavioral changes), age-related physical disability
(impairments in physical function that become more common with advancing age, often due to conditions
like arthritis, hearing loss, or decreased mobility), and muscle weakness (a condition where muscles are
unable to contract or move as easily as they used to, potentially due to various underlying causes).
Review of Resident #1's MDS Assessment, dated 02/06/25, reflected she had moderate cognitive
impairment. Resident #1 was identified as needing staff assistance for transfers.
Review of Resident #1's Care Plan, dated 05/02/24, reflected she required the use of a mechanical lift for
transfers, with two staff members to assist in the transfer.
Review of the facility's Incident Report, dated 02/21/25, reflected LVN B was called to Resident #1's room.
When she arrived, she noted Resident #1 was lying on the floor and bleeding from her head.

LVN B immediately called 911 for assistance. It was noted that CNA A reported Resident #1 slid out of the
mechanical lift sling as she was being transferred. Resident #1's family, physician, and HHSC were notified
of the incident. The mechanical lift was inspected with no noted issues to the mechanical lift or the sling.
Review of the facility's Provider Investigation Report, dated 02/21/25, reflected on 02/21/25 at around
11:00AM, CNA A attempted to independently transfer Resident #1 from her wheelchair and into her bed via
mechanical lift. While Resident #1 was in a lifted position, she slid out of the mechanical sling. Resident #1
fell to the ground and sustained a head laceration. LVN B was called to the room, and upon seeing
Resident #1's condition, immediately called 911 for assistance. Resident #1 was sent to the hospital for
further evaluation and treatment, and she returned to the facility that same day with staples to her head.
CNA A was suspended pending the outcome of the investigation. She admitted ly knew that two staff
members were required when transferring residents via mechanical lift. Facility staff were in-serviced on
mechanical lift transfer protocols; staff completed mechanical lift competency checks. CNA A was also
in-serviced on mechanical lift transfer protocols and completed a competency check prior to returning to
work. In addition, she received a final written warning for unsatisfactory conduct.
Observation of Resident #1 on 03/12/25 at 11:40AM revealed she was clean, well-groomed, and
appropriately dressed. She was free from any odors. There were no concerning marks or bruises noted on
her person. The area of her head in which she previously sustained a laceration as a result of falling during
a mechanical lift transfer had healed. Resident #1 displayed no obvious signs or symptoms of distress.
During an interview with Resident #1 on 03/12/25 at 11:40AM, she stated she previously sustained an
injury to her head when she was being transferred out of bed by facility staff. She was unable to recall any
additional details to the incident. She denied any current presence of pain. She stated she believed two
staff members were always present when they transferred her via mechanical lift.
During an interview with CNA A on 03/12/25 at 12:44PM, she stated on the day of the incident (02/21/25),
Resident #1's family member asked for Resident #1 to be transferred from her bed and into her wheelchair.
CNA A stated she felt as though she was being rushed by Resident #1's family member, so she decided to
transfer Resident #1 by herself via mechanical lift. CNA A stated she did not ask any other staff members to
assist her, because she thought the other staff members were busy providing care for other residents. CNA
A stated during the transfer, while Resident #1 was seated in the mechanical sling and was in a lifted
position, she fell out of the sling and hit her head. CNA A stated Resident #1 sustained a laceration to her
head. She immediately called for help, and LVN B promptly came to provide assistance and assess
Resident #1. CNA A stated she had been in-serviced on mechanical lift transfers prior to the incident
occurring, and she knew she needed two staff members to complete the mechanical lift transfer safely.
CNA A stated she received a final written warning as a result of the incident. She also received additional
in-servicing with competency checks on mechanical lift transfers, and she continued to participate in
random competency checks conduced by upper management. CNA A stated the risk of transferring a
resident without the recommended/required number of staff was that residents could be injured.
During an interview with LVN B on 03/12/25 at 11:57AM, she stated on the day of the incident (02/21/25),
CNA A yelled for assistance from Resident #1's room. LVN B stated when she arrived to Resident #1's
room, she noted Resident #1 to be on the floor, bleeding from her head. LVN B immediately called 911 for
further assistance. EMS arrived and transferred Resident #1 to the hospital for further

evaluation and treatment. LVN B stated CNA A conducted an improper transfer for Resident #1, in which
CNA A transferred Resident #1 independently via a mechanical lift transfer. LVN B stated mechanical lift
transfers required at least two staff members to help ensure resident safety. She stated CNA A never asked
for assistance with the transfer, prior to transferring Resident #1.
During an interview with the Administrator on 03/12/25 at 12:21PM, she stated on 02/21/25, she was
notified that Resident #1 fell while being transferred via mechanical lift by CNA A, who attempted to transfer
Resident #1 without the assistance of any other staff. Resident #1 sustained a head laceration, so she was
sent to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment. CNA A admitted to transferring Resident #1
independently and said she felt as though she was being rushed by Resident #1's family member. CNA A
was suspended pending the outcome of the investigation. CNA A was able to return to work upon being
in-serviced on mechanical lift protocol. All other direct care staff were in-serviced on mechanical lift
protocol, as well. The Administrator stated there had been no additional incidents since that time. She
stated the facility was monitoring for compliance by completing random mechanical lift competency checks
with staff members. The Administrator stated the risk of transferring a resident without the
recommended/required number of staff was that residents and/or staff could be injured.
The surveyor attempted to contact Resident #1's family member on 03/12/25 at 4:44PM. The telephone call
was not returned prior to exit.
Review of the manual for the mechanical lift used in the incident involving Resident #1 was requested;
however, the Director of Nursing stated the facility did not have access to the manual.
Review of the facility's Lifting Machine, Using a Mechanical policy, dated 07/2017, reflected, .The purpose
of this procedure is to establish the general principles of safe lifting using a mechanical lifting device . and
.At least two (2) nursing assistants are needed to safely move a resident with a mechanical lift .
This noncompliance was identified as past noncompliance (PNC). The noncompliance began on 02/21/25
and ended on 03/04/25. The facility had corrected the noncompliance before the investigation began. The
facility took the following actions to correct the non-compliance:
Review of in-service records, dated 02/21/25, reflected direct care staff were in-serviced on mechanical
transfer protocols.
Review of Manual Lift Competency Assessments, dated from 02/21/25 to 02/28/25, reflected facility staff
were screened for competency in using mechanical lifts. Facility staff were documented to have
demonstrated competency in this area via return demonstration.
Review of a Final Warning document, dated 03/04/25, reflected CNA A received a final written warning for
unsatisfactory conduct, related to transferring Resident #1 via mechanical lift without having another staff
member present to assist.
Verification of these actions by the HHSC surveyor included:
Observations of three separate mechanical lift transfers for Resident #1 (conducted by CNA E and CNA F),
Resident #2 (conducted by CNA C and CNA D), and Resident #3 (conducted by CNA A and CNA E) on
03/12/25 from 11:20AM to 1:15PM revealed the mechanical lift transfers were completed without
