Every finding on record at Maine Veterans Home - Scarborough

Based on staff interviews, written statements and review of the facility's internal investigation, the facility failed to ensure that 1 of 3 residents reviewed for dignity (Resident #1) was treated with respect during care provided after a fall. Finding: Resident #1 experienced two falls on 5/26/25. The first fall, at approximately 11:25 a.m., was documented as a loss of balance. Staff appropriately used a mechanical lift to assist Resident #1 from the floor in accordance with the facility's no-lift protocol. The second fall, at approximately 4:50 p.m. near the nurse's station, was witnessed by Certified Nursing Assistant #1 (CNA), who observed the Resident #1 fall to his/her right side. CNA #1 responded immediately and held the resident's head until CNA #5 arrived. CNA #1 directed CNA #5 to notify the charge nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse #1. (LPN) CNA #1 reported that when LPN #1 arrived, she told staff that because the fall was witnessed, it did not count as a fall and instructed staff to stand the resident up. CNA #1 recalled a disagreement between RN #1 and LPN #1 regarding the use of a mechanical lift. LPN #1 disregarded the concern and proceeded to lift Resident #1 with CNA #5. CNA #1 stated that the resident provided no more than 10% effort. CNA #1 stated that she observed CNA #5 and LPN #1 pick Resident #1 up off the floor under [his/her] arms. CNA #2 reported observing CNA #5 and LPN #1 grabbing Resident #1 under the arms and drag [him/her] down the hallway to [his/her] room. CNA #2 described staff struggling to get Resident #1 into bed and stated she yelled for them to support him/her by the back of his/her pants to prevent another fall. CNA #2 stated that the resident was not bearing weight, and staff used substantial strength to complete the transfer. CNA #5 stated that LPN #1 said, Come on, let's just pick [him/her] up. CNA #5 acknowledged that lifting the resident manually was against facility protocol, but said he followed orders, stating, I was just following orders from my boss. CNA #5 described the resident as unable to walk, saying, It was more accurate to say that we were dragging [him/her]. Once in the room, CNA #5 reported that the resident pushed downward, appearing to try to return to the floor. LPN #1 responded, [He's/She's] just doing this on purpose. [He/She] does this. Staff then lifted Resident #1 into bed and swung his/her legs up. LPN #1 stated the Resident #1 mumbled but did not answer pain questions. She reported Resident #1 initially walked without signs of pain, later refused to continue, and became combative. She stated Resident #1 moaned during care but could not determine whether the pain was in the right or left leg. RN #1 stated she was informed by CNA #5 that the resident had a hard fall. When RN #1 arrived, the resident was still on the floor. Upon confirming it was the second fall of the day, RN #1 asked if the mechanical lift was being used. LPN #1 asked if the fall had been witnessed and if the resident had hit his/her head. When CNA #1 confirmed the fall had been witnessed and there was no head injury, LPN #1 said, Then [he/she] doesn't need the lift. We can just get [him/her] up. On 6/17/25 at 2:55 p.m., during an interview with the surveyor, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that the facility does not have a formal written policy requiring the use of a mechanical lift after a fall.
