The undated Invacare Owner's Operator and Maintenance Manual for Electric Portable Patient Lift included the following instructions: When the sling is elevated a few inches off the surface of the bed/chair and before moving the patient, check again to make sure that the sling is properly connected to the hooks of the swivel bar (Hoyer). Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the patient. Resident 10's 12/18/24 Care Plan revealed the resident had cognitive deficits related to advanced Alzheimer's/Dementia. Resident 10's care plan revealed she/he was non ambulatory and a fall risk.

On 2/24/25 the facility submitted a report to the State Survey Agency (SSA) which revealed Resident 10 was transferred via Hoyer lift from the recliner to the wheelchair with two CNAs (using the U-shaped sling) as care planned. During the transfer Resident 10 slid from the sling and fell to the floor. Resident 10 had a blanket covering her/him during the transfer. Resident 10 was immediately assessed by Staff 4 (LPN) and transferred to the hospital. Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (DNS) and Staff 8 (COO) reviewed the facility's video footage of the incident. The video revealed a blanket was covering up the view of the placement of the leg straps (sling). It was determined the straps were not attached properly.

Staff 6 stated she was not gone long, and Resident 10 was in the same position when she had left. On 3/4/25 at 2:06 PM, Staff 5 (Light duty CNA) stated she was not present when Staff 6 (CNA) hooked Resident 10 up to the Hoyer lift. Staff 5 stated she was standing behind Resident 10 and did not physically have hands on Resident 10 while Staff 6 lifted Resident 10 with the Hoyer. Resident 10 suddenly slid out of the front of the sling on to the floor. Staff 5 stated after Resident 10 fell she noticed the sling was still hooked up and it made her think it was not crisscrossed through Resident 10's legs because she/he would not have been able to slide out. On 3/4/25 at 11:31 AM, two angles of the video footage of the incident were reviewed with Staff 8 (COO). The video revealed: Staff 6 (CNA) with Resident 10 hooking up four straps to the Hoyer lift, then placing a blanket over the resident's lap. Staff 6 left Resident 10 hooked up to the Hoyer lift seated in the recliner and left to attend to another resident.

Staff 5 (CNA) was visualized standing on the back side of Resident 10 and Staff 7 (CNA) was standing in front of Resident 10 next to Staff 6. Staff 8 stated it looked like Resident 10 was moving her/his left foot and then swung both her/his legs and the movement of the Hoyer and the swinging of the legs caused Resident 10 to slip out of the sling on to the floor, feet first and her/his legs buckled underneath her/him. On 3/4/25 at 3:39 PM, Staff 9 (CNA) and Staff 13 (CNA) were observed to transfer a resident using the Hoyer lift. Staff used the full body sling with no concerns identified. Staff 9 demonstrated how the U-shape sling was to be used. Staff 9 stated it was not possible for a resident to slip out of the U-sling if it was hooked up correctly under the thighs and crisscrossed in front and loops attached to the Hoyer. On 3/4/25 at 4:33 PM, Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (DNS) and Staff 8 (COO) acknowledged the sling was not set up properly and contributed to Resident 10's fall and leg fracture.
