Level of Harm - Actual harm
hoyer sling was soiled, so it was taken out from under him. An aide went to go get a hoyer sling and [CNA
B] was supposed to watch [Resident #1] while she did so. During this time, [CNA B] decides to look for a
hoyer sling as well. During the time while [CNA B] was gone, [Resident #1] fell from the shower chair,
fracturing his humerus.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of an undated written statement by CNA B reflected the following: This morning after breakfast I
was getting [Resident #1] a shower .I took him back to his room (covered). When I got to his room, I saw
that the hoyer lift wasn't there in the room, cause [CNA F] took it, or somebody did .So I was trying to look
for one, because no one really told me they just said go look for [CNA F] or something like that. When I
brought [Resident #1] back to his room I was looking for someone to help me because I can't transfer him
to the chair to the bed, not even with 2 people, so I called and texted [CNA F] if there was another one I
could use but she didn't respond. So I didn't really know what to do, so I walked out the room to ask for
help, and when I was in the office area, I heard him call for help, and I ran back as fast as I could and I saw
him laying on the floor and I called for help. So we helped he's on his bed resting so we've taking care off
that .I [CNA B] apologize for my actions to [Resident #1] [sic] .
Attempted interview via telephone on 06/04/24 at 10:59 AM to CNA B was unsuccessful as they did not
answer.
Interview on 06/04/24 at 11:09 AM with CNA F revealed she originally helped to transfer Resident #1 to the
shower chair before his shower on 04/04/24. CNA F said she was busy helping another after Resident #1
got his shower, so she was not involved in transferring Resident #1 back to bed. CNA F said after Resident
#1 fell out of the shower chair, she was told to only use the shower bed from then on and no longer use the
shower chair for Resident #1. CNA F said she was in-serviced on never leaving a resident alone in the
shower chair or shower bed.
Interview on 06/04/24 at 11:32 AM with LVN A revealed she was passing medications the morning of
04/04/24 in the hallway near Resident #1's room. LVN A said Resident #1 had a shower that morning and
when the staff brought him back to the room, there was a nurse and an aide. LVN A said the aide came to
her and told her Resident #1 had fallen out of the shower chair. LVN A said she went to the room and
assessed Resident #1. LVN A said it appeared that Resident #1 was left alone in the room in the shower
chair and slid out of it. LVN A said Resident #1 landed on his right side and had complained of pain to his
right shoulder. LVN A said she called the doctor to get an x-ray order and provided him pain medication.
LVN A said after the fall, staff only used the shower bed instead of the shower chair for Resident #1. LVN A
said she knew to never leave a resident alone in the shower bed or the shower chair.
Interview on 06/04/24 at 1:30 PM with the ADON revealed Resident #1 was given a shower and was put in
a shower chair and taken back to his room where he fell out of the shower chair on 04/04/24. The ADON
said CNA B and a nurse were in the room with Resident #1 when the nurse left to get the Hoyer lift. The
ADON said CNA B also left the room to see where it was and what was happening. The ADON said an
x-ray was ordered and showed Resident #1 had a fracture in his right shoulder. The ADON said CNA B was
not supposed to leave Resident #1 in the shower chair unattended, and he was terminated the same day
the incident occurred. The ADON said he completed in-services with staff regarding transfers and Hoyer
lifts and stressed the importance of not leaving residents unattended in shower chairs.
Interview on 06/04/24 at 1:45 PM with the DON revealed she was new to the facility and was not at the
facility when Resident #1 fell on [DATE]. The DON said she expected staff to never leave a

resident unattended in a shower chair to ensure the resident did not fall out of the chair. The DON said any
staff assisting a resident who was in a shower chair was responsible for making sure they were safe and
not left alone. The DON said when a resident was in a shower chair and the staff needed help, they could
use the resident's call light or holler out for help but they should never leave the resident alone.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 06/04/24 at 1:53 PM with the Administrator revealed staff got Resident #1 ready for a shower
and put him in the shower chair. The Administrator said Resident #1 had finished with his shower and was
taken back to his room to be put back in bed. The Administrator said for some reason the staff needed a
new Hoyer sling and there were two staff with the resident as there should have been. The Administrator
said one staff went to look for a sling while the other one was supposed to stay with Resident #1, which
was CNA B. The Administrator said he was not sure why, but CNA B also left the room to find a sling and
Resident #1 fell out of the shower chair and fractured his arm. The Administrator said because CNA B left
Resident #1 in the room alone in a shower chair, he was terminated. The Administrator said in-services
were completed with all staff to ensure they did not leave a resident unattended in a shower chair and what
the process was for getting a resident to and from a shower. The Administrator said he expected CNA B to
stay in the room with Resident #1 while he was in the shower chair. The Administrator said after the fall,
Resident #1's care plan was updated so that he only used the shower bed and not the shower chair
anymore.
Review of a Disciplinary Action Form for CNA B, dated and signed by CNA B on 04/04/24, reflected he was
terminated due to a failure to follow procedures regarding resident safety in the shower chair.
Review of in-service records completed on 04/04/24 regarding Showers and Shower Chair included: When
giving a resident a shower and up in a shower chair they must be monitored at all times. When resident up
in shower chair and stationery ensure brakes on shower chair are locked. Never leave a resident by
themselves when up in shower chair completed with CNA B and 32 staff.
Review of the facility's policy, dated 04/02/24, and titled Resident Showers revealed it did not address
supervising a resident while seated in a shower chair.
