This survey cited 1 deficiency, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some 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.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety 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.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some 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 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.
