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 each resident received adequate
supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents for two of six residents (Resident #1 and Resident
#2) reviewed for accidents.
1. On 12/31/24, CNA F and CNA G failed to safely transfer Resident #1 during the use of the mechanical
lift, which resulted in the resident sustaining a scalp hematoma and T12 compression fracture.
2. On 12/18/24 the Van Driver failed to properly restrain Resident #2's wheelchair in the facility
transportation van to prevent the wheelchair from tipping over on its side on the way to dialysis.
The noncompliance was identified as PNC. The IJ began on 12/18/24 and ended on 01/20/25. The facility
had corrected the noncompliance before the investigation began.
This failure could place residents at risk for severe injury or harm, decline in health, and decreased quality
of life and death.
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #1's MDS dated [DATE] reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #1 had a BIMS of 00 which indicate
her cognition was severely impaired and was not able to respond or complete the Brief Interview for Mental
Status. The MDS further reflected Resident #1 was dependent on staff for all functional abilities which
included eating, and all transfers. The resident's diagnoses included unsteadiness on feet, muscle wasting
atrophy, lack of coordination, bilateral primary osteoarthritis of the knees (degenerative joint condition
where the cartilage in both knees breaks down gradually).
Record review of Resident #1's undated care plan reflected she had the following care areas:
- activities of daily living self-care performance deficit related to dementia and impaired balance. The care
plan reflected: Goal Resident #1 will remain at current level of function. Interventions included resident
required mechanical lift with two staff assistance for transfers;
- limited physical mobility related to sarcopenia. The care plan reflected: Goal: Resident will demonstrate
the appropriate use of Mechanical lift with staff assistance x2 to increase transfers. Intervention: Resident
#1 is dependent on two staff for transfers using Mechanical Lift due to inability to bear weight at this time
due to generalized weakness.

Residents Affected - Some
onset this afternoon. She was brought in from nursing home facility. She was in a mechanical lift in the air
when the strap broke and she fell four feet onto tile flooring, landing on her right posterior hip and right side
of her head head first. She did not lose consciousness. Her daughter provided a video of the incident.
Patient is largely nonverbal, but uttered ow after the event. She is able to say words, but does not answer
questions, GCS 14, This is her baseline per family, but she states the patient seems like she is in pain.
Emergency Medical Services notes that she grimaced when her right hip was handled. She is not
anticoagulated. No further complaints raised at this time.
Record review of the radiology report for Resident #1 reflected: Suspected acute compression fracture of
the T12 vertebral body with approximately 10% vertebral body height loss. No bony retropulsion.
Record review of the facility's Provider Investigation Report dated 01/07/25 reflected:
Head to toe skin assessment, pain assessment and pain monitoring. Assessment included bruising to the
upper back and forehead hematoma. Both CNAs that were involved with the transfer were suspended
pending an investigation. The resident was immediately sent to the hospital for further evaluation and
treatment. The resident's family and physician were notified of the incident. On 12/31/24 CNA F, and CNA G
went to [Resident #1's] room to transfer her from her bed to her wheelchair so she could sit up and assisted
while eating dinner. Both aides helped position Resident in the sling and hooked the sling loops to the
mechanical lift arm, one aide on each side of the bed. CNA F was on [Resident #1's] right side and secured
the right side sling straps inside the hooks of the mechanical lift arm, while CNA G was on [Resident #1's]
left side and secured the left-side sling straps inside the hooks of the mehancial lift arm. CNA G then
proceeded to operate the mechanical lift, raising resident in the air off the bed from the left side of the A
bed into the space between the A and B beds. While this occurred, CNA F had moved from the right side of
the bed to move [Resident #1's] wheelchair around to the left side of the bed (this side the lift was being
operated from) and she was standing behind the wheelchair waiting fo the lift to lower resident into the
wheelchair. Before CNA G could lower the resident in the lift, the right side sling strap loop broke, causing
[Resident #1] to fall backwards toward her right shoulder and then to the ground on her right side. CNA F
being towards the foot of the bed and closest to the door, immediately left the room to get the nurse who
was right outside the resident's room by the nurse substation. The nurse came into the room, assessed
[Resident #1] and called 911 for her to be sent out. [Resident #1] was transferred out by Emergency
Medical Services around 7pm and taken to the hospital. She was diagnosed with a scalp hematoma with
no intercranial hemorrhage and a T12 compression fracture. She returned to the nursing home facility
around 11:45 PM the same evening with no new orders. [Resident #1] is being monitored continually for
and adverse effects of the fall. Upon further investigation CNA F stated there were multiple loops on each of
the 4 straps and at least 1 broken loop on one of the straps. However, the other loop(s) were intact and
looked okay. She stated during interview, she didn't want to try and find another sling because she was in a
hurry to get Resident #1 up for dinner. Since the green loops were not ripped or torn, CNA F felt they would
be safe to use and told CNA G during the setup for the transfer to use the green loops. Staff have been
in-serviced/re-educated on sling safety, ensuring the slings are not ripped or torn, and how to properly
secure the loops on the mehanical lift, and the process of taking slings out of service. Nursing staff have
also completed observation checkoffs on proper mechanical lift transfers with a one-on-one return
demonstration. All slings in the building were inspected and any that were frayed, torn , or deemed unsafe
have been discarded. Supply of replacement slings were ordered, and additional slings were ordered as
backups. CNA G has received one-on-one training with return demonstration as well, and has returned to
work after suspension. The facility has

terminated CNA F, because she noticed the slings did not meet safe standards. And decided to continue to
use the sling at resulted in an injury to [Resident #1].
Interview on 01/23/25 at 9:44 AM with Resident #1 was attempted; however, due to the resident's severe
cognitive deficits the resident did not respond.
Observations on 01/23/25 between 9:50 AM and 10:44 AM of two additional transfers with ADON and
Treatment Nurse observing CNA A, CNA B, CNA C and CNA D revealed each CNA inspecting the
mechanical lift battery, sling connectors, ability to lift and lower, lock, legs to open and close. Each CNA
held the mechanical lift sling in their hands looking down the seams and material for any worn, torn or thin
spots in the material. Each CNA was observed checking and tugging the loops looking for cuts, open
seams, or loose threads. CNAs were observed talking through their inspection of both the machine and the
inspection of the mechanical lift slings. Observation revealed they worked together as a team to ensure
throughout the transfer the resident felt secure and safe. Staff was heard stating what color loops they were
using and double checked to ensure the hooks were secure with the loops. Communicated when to lift,
lower, and when to reposition. Observation of the ADON and Treatment Nurse to step in with moving
furniture if needed.
Interview on 01/23/25 at 10:36 AM with ADON and Treatment Nurse revealed all nursing management were
trained, then management trained nursing staff to include nurses and certified nursing assistants. The
Treatment Nurse stated staff was inserviced and trained on mechanical lift maintenance, sling
maintenance, safe transfers, and completed a check off list step by step on transferring residents. The
ADON stated monitoring was still ongoing, spot checks were completed by management staff daily. The
ADON and the Treatment Nurse stated during their observations of transfers there has not been any
resident concerns when a mechanical Lift was used.
Record review of CNA F statement dated 12/31/24 reflected: We were using the mechanical lift on
[Resident #1]to get her up for dinner. I was on the side of the bed closest to the wall and CNA G was on the
other side controlling the mechanical lift remote. We put the sling under her and fastened the loops on the
green loop at her shoulders. Both of us used the green loop. The mechanical sling had a loop that were
already ripped, I think it was the blue loop, and that is why we used the green loop. I knew the sling had a
broken loop, but I did not go try to find another mechanical lift sling because I was in a hurry to get
[Resident #1] to dinner. I stood by the side of the bed and assisted the lift into the air until CNA G moved
the resident over to the middle of the beds. I came around to the middle of the room to push the wheelchair
underneath the resident and the right shoulder loop snapped causing the sling to release from the clamp
and the resident fell out of the sling onto the floor. She landed on the leg of the mechanical lift's closest to
the window. I went and got the nurse at that time. The statement was signed by CNA F.
Interview on 01/23/25 at 1:04 PM with CNA F revealed she worked with Resident #1 on 12/31/24 as her
aide on 2:00-10:00 PM shift when she was told by LVN L to get Resident #1 up and in the dining room for
lunch. CNA F stated LVN L refused to assist with the transfer, and she had to find someone to assist her
with the mechanical lift transfer. CNA F stated it had taken her 15 minutes to locate help and they nurse
was yelling to get Resident #1 to the dining room. CNA F stated Resident #1 had a sling in her room that
had been used that morning, CNA F stated she informed LVN L that they sling was damaged but she acted
as if she did not care, Obviously the prior shift used the mechanical lift sling for breakfast, and they knew
the loops were broken and they still used it. CNA F stated she proceeded with preparing Resident #1 for
the transfer with the mechanical sling that was damaged at the loops. CNA F stated I hooked Resident #1
to the mechanical lift on the right side and CNA G hooked

the left side. CNA F stated, after connecting Resident #1 to the mechanical lift CNA G lifted her and was
pulling her out, I got the wheelchair, about to roll it under Resident #1 and the sling broke, it took me by
surprise there was no pop or anything. CNA F stated, CNA G had control of the mechanical lift and I was
guiding Resident #1, when I stepped away to grab the wheelchair, she came down headfirst towards me,.
CNA F stated the transfer was staged in the middle of both beds A and B, the wheelchair was parked at the
end of Bed B. CNA F stated by the time I had my hand on the wheelchair rolling it in front of her the loops
broke on the right side, at her right shoulder, Resident #1 came down head first hitting the floor CNA F
stated she then alerted LVN L. CNA F stated she observed swelling to Resident #1's forehead from the
impact of the fall. CNA F stated she completed interview with the DON, re-enacted the incident, trained on
mechanical lift transfers and was suspended, was later terminated. CNA F stated we used the same sling
as the morning shift; we knew going into it that there were broken loops and there were no other slings
available and the nurse was yelling at us to get her up CNA F stated she was responsible for inspecting and
using properly working equipment, and that she was expected to report any broken equipment or when
they did not have adequate supplies. CNA F stated not doing so placed Resident #1 at risk for accident and
injury to happen.
Record review of CNA G statement dated 12/31/24 I was in the room with CNA F, and we were trying to get
Resident #1 into the wheelchair for dinner. The sling was under her, and I was controlling the control to the
mechanical lift. I attached the green loop on my side of the patient after asking CNA F which color of loop to
use. I was in the middle of the two beds when I started to move the patient toward the center of the room
with the mechanical lift controller. I opened the mechanical lift's legs out wide, as the mechanical lift came
out from underneath the bed and pushed the patient in the mechanical lift toward CNA F and the
wheelchair. The mechanical lift's loop snapped that was on her right shoulder and she fell out of the sling
and onto the ground. CNA F went to get the nurse to help get the patient looked at. Signed CNA G
Interview on 01/23/25 at 1:34 PM CNA G revealed she was working the front hall while CNA F worked the
back, she stated CNA F asked her to assist with mechanical lift transfer for Resident #1. CNA G stated,
when I entered the room the mechanical lift sling was already under her, and we just needed to hook her to
the machine. CNA G stated because I was new, I was asking her questions about the process, I was asking
her what color loops we were using. CNA G stated they used green for the upper body and purple for the
lower body. CNA G stated she checked her side to ensure the mechanical lift sling was hooked properly to
the mechanical lift. CNA G stated she pulled the mechanical to align with the bed, lifted Resident #1 and
opened the mechanical lift's legs. CNA G stated CNA F went for the wheelchair and as soon as she was
about to put the wheelchair in front of Resident #1 I heard a snap and a bump, I was shocked Resident #1
was on the floor, I could see a bump forming on her forehead resulting from her falling head first. CNA F
went to get the nurse. The sling was good, it was in good condition, I did not see anything wrong with the
sling or straps. I looked at the colors to ensure I was using the right ones. CNA G stated she was inserviced
by the DON and she reenacted the incident to show how the mechanical lift was used. CNA G stated she
was suspended and upon return continued training to include mechanical lift transfers, inspecting machine
and the sling yourself prior to use. CNA G stated it was her responsibility to look at the straps to ensure
they were in good condition, and if not do not use the sling and to report it to the nurse or the DON. CNA G
stated not doing so placed residents at risk of injury.

floor laying on top of the mechanical lift machine legs, LVN L stated she could see that Resident #1 had an
injury to the forehead, contacted DON, completed assessment, and called emergency services. LVN L
stated she had not yelled or rushed aides to complete a transfer for Resident #1, she was not informed
there was issues with the mechanical lift machine or the sling. LVN L stated she expected staff to alert her if
there was any issues or concerns with resident transfers, she would not expect staff to use slings that were
not in good condition. LVN L stated she was inserviced on mechanical lift transfers, inspecting mechanical
lift slings, and demonstrated competency, LVN L further stated there should be two persons at all times to
ensure the safety of resident during transfers especially with mechanical lift use. LVN L stated it was the
responsibility of the aides or anyone doing a transfer to inspect the mechanical lift machine, mechanical lift
slings to ensure its not damaged and if so, the sling should be reported to DON to have it replaced. LVN L
stated if aides thought there was a problem she should be notified immediately, not doing so placed
residents at risk of a fall or injury.
Interview on 01/23/25 at 1:40 PM Laundry Aide H revealed the mechanical lift slings were gathered with
laundry off the halls in a barrel, sorted, washed and air dried in the dryer machine. Laundry Aide H stated
after they air dry, she folded and delivered the slings to the linen closets on each hall. According to the
Laundry Aide H it was the responsibility of the aides to check the sling prior to use, she stated before the
incident she would just wash, and air dry in the machine, and delivered them to the floor. Laundry Aide did
not address surveyor questions on having any responsibility to inspect, remove or report to management .
Laundry Aide H stated she had been inserviced on mechanical lift sling inspection, the facility purchased
new slings and created a numbering system to include all mechanical lift slings, the wash and dry system is
the same however now the Laundry Aides were responsible for inspecting slings when they come through
laundry. Laundry Aides were now responsible for inspecting and documenting the condition of each
numbered sling, if one is damaged, frayed or not in good working condition the aide was to report it to the
supervisor and the DON taking the damaged sling out of commission and replace it with a new sling.
Record review of a form titled Transfer Safety dated 12/06/24 reflected: It is a requirement of your job to
ensure we are always putting resident safety first. This is to include during transfers with a mechanical lift or
gait belt. Ensure that all limbs (upper and lower) are in a safe place to prevent bruising, skin tears or
general discomfort. If you are unsure of where placement should be, speak with the nurse or ADON's
before proceeding with the transfer. If you have any further questions, please see the DON or ADON's.
