CNA L said if the aides noticed the wheelchair brakes not working they would document it in the maintenance book. CNA L said she knew the brake did not work for a while because the last time it was fixed the person accidently put the brake on backwards. CNA L said the transfer she and CNA J completed was done safely because CNA J was behind the chair and holding it stead. CNA L said she was notified it was not working today. CNA L said since she moved hallways so much, she could not say how long Resident #62's wheelchair was not working. Interview on 08/20/2025 at 4:45 PM RN G stated he worked Resident #62's hall for the past two years. RN G stated he was not aware Resident #62's wheelchair was not working. RN G said he did not know if therapy would notice because Resident #62 did not do therapy. RN G stated it could take weeks for a specialized wheelchair to be fixed. RN G said the CNAs did not communicate that Resident #62's brakes were not working. RN G said he did expect the CNA to communicate that. RN G stated if the brakes did not engage ultimately it was not a safe transfer. At that time, RN G took the surveyor to the maintenance book and reviewed 8/12/25 through 8/20/25; RN G confirmed there was no documentation about Resident #62's wheelchair brakes not working. Interview and observation on 08/20/2025 at 5:25 PM the DON stated Resident #62 used the Sit-to-Stand lift. The DON said Resident #62 had a customized wheelchair that was maintained by the company that was at the facility earlier that day (8/20/25). The DON said it would depend on the use and wear and tear on the wheelchair brakes to determine how long it would take to go out. The DON said any staff that were assisting Resident #62 could put Resident #62's brakes were not working in the maintenance book and were responsible for monitoring the brakes were in working order. The DON said due to the brakes not working Resident #62's transfer was not safe, but the staff did what they could to make it as safe as they could. The DON stated she would have to get the wheelchair looked at and the wheelchair maintenance company was coming back on 6/21/25 and she would have the wheelchair looked out. The DON and surveyor checked Resident #62's brakes and she said, It looked like the mechanism was not engaging. The Administrator joined the conversation and was shown Resident #62's brakes. Interview and observation on 08/20/2025 at 5:54 PM the Administrator stated the repair company repaired Resident #62's wheelchair in June and July (2025). The Administrator looked at Resident #62's wheelchair and said it looked like the tread on the wheelchair was wearing out and also needed to be replaced.
