The CNA was asked how she knew how to transfer the resident. The CNA stated, "I didn't see any card saying how she transferred on her wall or bed. She had recently moved over from the east side. The CNA was asked where staff can look to find the transfer status of a resident. The CNA stated, "In the ADL book they have a list of resident's who require a hoyer or sit-to-stand." The CNA was asked if resident #1 was on that list. The CNA stated, "No, I did not see her name on there." The CNA was again asked how she knew how resident #1 transferred.

The physician stated it was a weight bearing type of fracture. He stated with the resident's history of osteoporosis and such, any time she was twisting or putting tension on the area, it may cause a spontaneous fracture. The physician was asked if the fracture could have happened while the resident was in bed. The physician stated it was unlikely. He stated the fracture could have happened in bed but it would have had to have happened during a turn or some other way where physical stress would have been applied to the area. On 02/12/15 at 08:27 a.m., the DON and MDS coordinator were asked how the CNA's know who requires the use of a lift. The DON stated there was a list in the ADL book. If the resident was not on the lift list, there were able to transfer with assistance. The DON and MDS coordinator were asked how did the CNA know what type or hor much assistance was required. The MDS coordinator stated there was no place where it stated what each resident required to transfer as a one or two person assist. The DON and MDS coordinator were asked what type of training do the staff receive on using the lift. The MDS coordinator stated that before the rehabilitation aide would do inserves which included a demonstration. The DON and MDS coordinator were asked when did they last receive training on using a lift.

On 02/04/15 at 1:30 p.m., CNA #3 was observed to transfer resident #2 from the chair to bed with a mechanical lift. The resident was previously positioned in a sling. The lift was placed above the resident and the sling was attached using colored coded loops. The resident was lifted into the air. The sling was observed to be very large. The area of the sling used to support the resident's head and shoulders was well above the resident's head. The sling curved over and above the resident's head, pushing her head downward and pinning her chin to her chest. The resident's shoulders were drawn inward and towards one another and her legs were drawn tight against each other. The resident was transferred to the bed without incident. On 02/04/15 at 1:50 p.m., CNA #3 and CNA #4 were observed to transfer another resident to bed. CNA #3 stated they needed to adjust the position of the sling downward to support the head and shoulders or the transfer would be like it was for resident #2. CNA #3 was asked what had been wrong with the transfer of resident #2. The CNA stated the sling was too big and did not support her head and shoulders. She stated the facility did not have the right size sling to transfer resident #2. The CNA was asked if she had informed anyone of the need for a sling for resident #2. She stated, "Oh yea, the nurses know." On 02/12/15 at 08:27 a.m., the DON and MDS coordinator were asked how the CNA's know who requires the use of a lift.

The MDS coordinator stated there was no place where it stated what each resident required to transfer as a one or two person assist. The DON and MDS coordinator were asked what type of training do the staff receive on using the lift. The MDS coordinator stated that before the rehabilitation aide would do inserves which included a demonstration. The DON and MDS coordinator were asked when did they last receive training on using a lift.

Resident #6 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The comprehensive assessment, dated 01/20/15, documented the resident was cognitively moderately impaired and required extensive two person assistance with transfers. On 02/05/15 at 5:40 p.m., CNA #4 and CNA #5 were observed to transfer resident #6 from the chair to bed with a sit to stand mechanical lift. The resident sat forward in the chair and a sling was placed inside out and around the resident's back and secured with a three inch wide nylon belt and plastic buckle across the resident's abdomen. There was no padding present on the nylon belt or buckle. The resident's feet were positioned on the platform of the lift and the sling was attached to the lift. The lift was engaged and the resident was lifted from the chair but remained in a bent and seated position while the lift was pushed to the bed. The nylon belt and buckle was observed to be across the left ribcage and chest and under the resident's right breast. There were two strips of terrycloth padding approximately 3 inches wide and more than a foot long waving from each side of the sling. The resident was transferred to the bed without incident. CNA #4 was asked what the loose terrycloth padding was used for on the sling. The CNA stated, "It's extra pieces I guess." CNA #5 stated that the extra terrycloth looked like it once was secured to the nylon belt and pointed to a broken strap on the back of one of the terrycloth pads. CNA #5 stated that many of the slings were in need of repair and not all of their lift equipment was in working order. On 02/06/15 at 5:10 p.m., the DON was observed to be marking with a permanent marker on the sit to stand sling used to transfer resident #6. The DON stated he was marking which side of the sling was to be positioned against the resident. The DON held up one of the terrycloth pads and said he thought this could be fixed so it again attached to one side of the nylon belt.

F225K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

On 12/04/14, an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist due to the facility's failure to thoroughly investigate an incident of potential sexual abuse and ensure protection of residents from the likelihood of further abuse. The Oklahoma State Department of Health verified the existence of the IJ related to the facility's failure to thoroughly investigate an incident of potential sexual abuse and protect residents. At 4:25 p.m., the administrator and DON were informed of the IJ related to the facility's failure to thoroughly investigate an incident of potential sexual abuse and protect residents. At 7:44 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was provided. The plan of removal documented, "...Corrective Action: a. At 4:40 p.m. the administrative staff were informed of new information related to an allegation of resident to resident abuse. b. At 4:45 p.m. facility initiated abuse policy and procedure. c. At 5:00 p.m. on 12/4/14 a third interview, second in person interview, was completed with (CNA #2). New information was obtained during this interview. The new information coincides with what (CNA #2) stated to surveyor. This is the first time the Administrative staff were told this information. (CNA #2) was interviewed at length by the Administrative staff earlier in the day (approximately noon) and did NOT obtain the same information that was obtained at 5:00 p.m. interview. d. At 5:10 p.m. male resident was put on one-on-one supervision with 15 minute documentation. e. At 5:20 physician for both residents (they both have physician) was called.

At 5:43 DON called responsible party of both involved residents. g. At 5:48 p.m. two officers from Tula (sic) Police Department arrived. Officer (names withheld). Monitoring: The male resident will have one-on-one monitoring until resident can be appropriately placed for a psychiatric evaluation. The facility will ensure protection of others when behaviors occur. This monitoring will be documented every 15 minutes. Facility is communicating with families of both residents. Staff will be in-serviced on abuse reporting, definitions of abuse, abuse policy and procedure, investigative protocol, appropriate notifications, protection of residents, appropriate interventions for residents with dementia and monitoring of residents that wander. In-servicing will begin immediately with each shift personnel prior to them being able to work on the hall. No employees will be allowed to work on the hall before being in-serviced. In-servicing begins immediately and will be completed by 12/5/14 by 5:00 p.m. If any employees have not completed in-service by 5:00 p.m. on 12/5/14, they will be removed from the schedule. Any employees currently on vacation time will be in-serviced before they can return to work. In-services will be completed by Administrator, DON, and QA Nurse. Facility staff will monitor all residents that wander or have behaviors on the dementia care neighborhood." On 12/08/14 at 8:45 a.m., the administrator provided documentation to show the plan of removal had been implemented as described. Staff were interviewed on 12/08/14 in regards to their knowledge of the inservice; to ensure their understanding of all aspects of the plan of removal. The IJ was removed, effective 12/06/14 at 6:52 a.m., when all components of the plan of removal had been completed. The deficient practice remained at a pattern level with a potential for more than minimal harm. Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to thoroughly investigate an incident of potential sexual abuse involving one (#1) of four sampled residents who were identified as having sexually inappropriate behaviors. The facility also failed to protect residents from the likelihood of further abuse. This had the likelihood to affect 87 residents who resided at the facility.

Staff will be in-serviced on abuse reporting, definitions of abuse, abuse policy and procedure, investigative protocol, appropriate notifications, protection of residents, appropriate interventions for residents with dementia and monitoring of residents that wander. In-servicing will begin immediately with each shift personnel prior to them being able to work on the hall. No employees will be allowed to work on the hall before being in-serviced. In-servicing begins immediately and will be completed by 12/5/14 by 5:00 p.m. If any employees have not completed in-service by 5:00 p.m. on 12/5/14, they will be removed from the schedule.
