F656E · No harm, potential for more than minimal, pattern

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive, person centered care plan for two of ten sampled residents (Resident 19 and Resident 23) by failing to:A. Ensure a comprehensive care plan was initiated for Resident 19 addressing hearing needs and physical therapy ([PT], a rehabilitation profession that restores, maintains, and promotes optimal physical function) services.B. Develop, and implement a comprehensive, person centered care plan addressing Resident 23's toenail fungal infection as recommended by the podiatrist.These failures had the potential to result in unmet needs for Residents 19 and 23, negatively affecting their well being and contributing to poor resident outcomes.Findings: During a review of Resident 19's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 19 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including fracture of surgical neck of right humerus (a type fracture [broken bone] of the upper arm), diabetes mellitus ([DM]-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), and dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities). During a review of Resident 19's history and physical (H&P), dated [DATE], the H&P indicated Resident 19 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 19's Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool) dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 19 was severely impaired in cognitive (thought process) functioning and required substantial support. The MDS indicated Resident 19 required supervision (helper provides verbal cues as resident completes activity) with eating but was dependent (helper does all the effort) with hygiene, bathing and dressing. The MDS indicated Resident 19 was dependent with mobility such as rolling, sitting and transfers. During a review of Resident 19's Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report indicated that resident may have ear, nose and throat consultation as needed. The Order Summary Report indicated PT and or occupational therapy ([OT], a healthcare profession that helps people of all ages regain or improve the skills needed for daily living and working) evaluation and treatment. During a review of Resident 19's hearing consult note dated [DATE], the hearing consult notes indicated Resident 19 had moderately severe hearing loss to both left ear and right ear. The hearing consult note indicated the resident had hearing loss significant enough to qualify for hearing aids (a small, electronic, battery-operated medical device worn in or behind the ear that amplifies sound) and was eligible for them. The hearing consult note indicated Resident 19 had a greater hearing loss at higher frequencies (measure the number of sound wave vibrations per second) in the left ear, meaning the resident had greater difficulty discriminating between different sounds during conversations and hearing higher-pitched voices and sounds. During a review of Resident 19's physical therapy (PT) notes dated [DATE], the physical therapy notes indicated Resident 19 currently presented with generalized weakness and impaired bilateral (both) ankle range of motion ([ROM], full movement potential of a joint) resulting in increased immobility which limits Resident 19's independence with functional mobility (ability to move around to do activities of daily living). Resident 19 will benefit with PT services at this time to address these impairments with therapeutic exercises (planned performance of physical movements, postures, or activities designed to prevent impairments, restore physical function, reduce pain, and improve overall health and fitness) and activities (a structured physical activity prescribed to restore or maintain strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance), neuromuscular re-education (a PT/OT technique designed to retrain the nervous system to communicate properly with your muscles), wheelchair training to improve resident's muscle strength and endurance and improve her skills with functional activities (the physical and cognitive tasks performed in daily life, such as walking, eating, dressing, or working) to promote her return to prior level of function. During a review of Resident 19's occupational therapy (OT, rehabilitative profession that provides services to increase and/maintain a person's capability to participate in everyday life activities) notes dated [DATE], the occupational therapy notes indicated that Resident 19 presented with impairments in strength, gross motor coordination (involves using the large muscles in the arms, and legs to do movements like walking, running, and jumping), fine motor coordination (the ability to use small muscles in the hands, fingers, and wrists to perform small, and accurate movements), functional activity tolerance (a person's capacity to perform daily tasks like bathing, walking, or working without experiencing physical and/or emotional tiredness), active (engaging in action, producing motion) range of motion on right shoulder and postural stability (the ability to maintain the body's center of gravity within its base of support, allowing a person to stay upright) and balance resulting in limitations and/or restrictions in the areas of self-care and mobility which requires skilled OT services to increase independence with activities of daily living ([ADLs], basic, everyday self-care tasks required to manage one's health and maintain physical independence), maximize independence with ADLs, increase functional activity tolerance, strengthening, facilitate being able to sit, increase safety awareness and maximize rehabilitation (the process of helping individuals restore, maintain, or improve the physical, mental, or cognitive abilities they need for daily living) potential in order to live in environment with least amount of supervision. During a review of Resident 19's comprehensive care plan, undated, the comprehensive care plan did not indicate a focus or problem statement identifying the resident's hearing deficit or need for hearing aids, nor goals and interventions to ensure the resident could hear adequately and maintain functional hearing ability. The comprehensive care plan did not include focus or problem statement identifying that Resident 19 was receiving PT and OT services, nor goals and interventions to prevent decline in mobility or range of motion. During a concurrent interview and record review on [DATE] at 2:08 p.m., with the Social Services Director (SSD), Resident 19's undated comprehensive care plan was reviewed.

And, they failed to report an injury of unknown origin when an Xray (a procedure that takes pictures of the inside of the body to diagnose broken bones and other injuries) taken on 4/24/2026 confirmed Resident 2 had a displaced fracture (when a broken bone snaps into two or more pieces and moves, causing the ends to become misaligned) of the proximal (closer to the point of attachment) shaft of the right femur (largest bone extending from the hip to the knee [hip fracture]). These deficient practices resulted in the CDPH not being aware of Resident 2's allegation of abuse and her injury of unknown origin causing a delay the CDPH's investigation and the potential for pertinent information to be lost and/or forgotten. Findings: During a review of Resident 2's admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta (a rare genetic disorder characterized by extremely fragile bones that break easily, often with little or no trauma). During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool) dated 4/13/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 2's cognition was intact and Resident 2 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) on facility staff to complete her activities of daily living ([ADLs] activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily). During a review of Resident 2's SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) Summary for Providers dated 4/23/2026 and timed at 3:22 p.m., the SBAR Summary for Providers indicated Resident 2's right hip had a prominent protrusion (something that sticks out or bulges out from a surface or its surroundings), redness and warmth. The SBAR Summary for Providers indicated the physician ordered an Xray of Resident 2's right hip. During a review of Resident 2's Nurses Progress Notes dated 4/23/2026 and timed at 4:07 p.m., the Nurses Progress Notes indicated Resident 2's Family Member (FM) reported that Resident 2 was not handled properly at GACH 1 where she was previously admitted . The FM stated Resident 2's hip was not like that (with a protrusion, red and warm) before getting admitted to GACH 1. During a review of Resident 2's Physician's Order dated 4/23/2026, the Physician's Order indicated to obtain a right hip Xray due to prominent protrusion, redness, and warmth. During a review of Resident 2's SBAR Summary for Providers dated 4/24/2026, the SBAR Summary for Providers indicated Resident 2's Xray results indicated an acute displaced right hip fracture. Resident 2 was transferred to GACH 2 for further evaluation and treatment. During a review of Resident 2's Radiology Results Report dated 4/23/2026, the Radiology Results Report indicated Resident 2 had an acute displaced fracture of the proximal shaft of the right femur. During an interview on 4/29/2026 at 3:28 p.m., Physical Therapist (PT) stated when he completed Resident 2's PT Evaluation (4/10/2026), Resident 2 reported to she had pain to her right hip and when she was at GACH 1 she was handled roughly by the nurses. PT 1 stated he did not report what Resident 2 told him because he thought her complaint of pain was related her diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta. PT 1 stated he should have reported it to the supervisory staff at the facility. During an interview on 4/30/2026 at 12:14 p.m., Registered Nurse (RN 1) stated on 4/23/2026 when she assessed Resident 2 her right hip was protruding more than it had been on admission [DATE]). There was more redness in the inner thigh, and it was a little warm to touch. RN 1 stated Resident 2 reported to her she was rough handled by nurses at GACH 1 and that was what caused her injury. RN 1 stated Resident 2 reported she had not fallen and there was no other explanation of what might have caused her injury. During an interview on 4/29/2026 at 1:01 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the CDPH was not notified of Resident 2's hip fracture because Resident 2 was able to explain that she did not fall or have any incident that would cause the fracture and their Consultant told them Resident 2's fracture did not need to be reported. The DON stated Resident 2's allegation of being rough handled by nurses at GACH 1 should have been reported but she (DON) was concerned with Resident 2's fracture and missed reporting it Resident 2's allegation. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P/P) titled Compliance with Reporting Allegations of Abuse/Neglect/Exploitation dated 12/19/2022, the P/P indicated it is the policy of the facility to report all allegations of abuse/neglect/exploitation or mistreatment, including injuries of unknown sources and misappropriation of resident property immediately to the Administrator of the facility to other appropriate agencies in accordance with current state and federal regulations with prescribed timeframes.

F584D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident (Resident 1), who had a history of falls and was assessed as a high fall risk, room door remained open for visibility for one of five sampled residents (Resident 1). This failure had the potential to prevent nursing staff from observing Resident 1 and identifying her care and safety needs in a timely manner. Findings:During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (Face sheet), the Face sheet indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 1 had diagnoses including dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), polyneuropathies (a type of nerve disorder that affects multiple nerves outside the brain and spinal cord), muscle weakness, and difficulty walking.During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool) dated 1/27/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 1 was not able to make decisions that were reasonable and consistent and required one person assistance from staff to complete her activities of daily living ([ADLs] routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing, and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves). The MDS indicated Resident 1 was incontinent (involuntary voiding) of bowel (urine) and bladder (stool). During a review of Resident 1's Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE], and timed at 4:36 p.m., the Fall Risk Assessment indicated Resident 1 had a score of 16 (high fall risk). The Fall Risk Assessment indicated Resident 1 was a risk for fall because of her history of falls, intermittent (on and off) confusion, poor balance while standing, and was taking three or more medications with three or more predisposing (influencing) diseases.During a review of Resident 1's untitled Care Plan dated 1/26/2026, the Care Plan indicated Resident 1 was at risk for falls and injury with goals including Resident 1 will be free from falls and/or minor injury and will not sustain a serious injury. The Care Plan's interventions included anticipating and meeting Resident 1's needs, providing Resident 1 with appropriate footwear when ambulating, and providing a safe environment.During a review of Resident 1's Change in Condition Evaluation (COC) dated 1/31/2026 and timed at 2:30 p.m., the COC indicated Resident 1 informed a licensed nurse that she (Resident 1) fell early in the morning and sustained a left elbow skin tear.During a review of Resident 1's Interdisciplinary Care Conference ([IDT] a group of professionals from different fields that collaborate on shared patient goals) Notes dated 2/2/2026, the IDT Notes indicated a care conference was implemented after Resident 1 had a fall. The IDT Notes indicated Resident 1 was assessed to be impulsive with a balance deficit and she (Resident 1) tried to ambulate beyond her capabilities and without assistance. The IDT Notes indicated recommendations including providing Resident 1 with frequent visual checks, timely assistance as needed and reminding the nurses for Resident 1's safety precautions and plan of care.During an interview on 4/9/2026 at 4:25 p.m., Responsible Party (RP) 1 stated she has observed on multiple occasions when she visited the facility, Resident 1's door was always closed. RP 1 stated Resident 1 had fallen in the past and she was worried that the facility staff will not be able to monitor Resident 1. RP 1 stated Resident 1 was unsafe because she was inaccessible to the nursing staff. During an observation on 4/13/2026 at 9:25 a.m., in the facility hallway, Resident 1's room door was observed closed. During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/13/2026 at 9:26 a.m., in Resident 1's room, Resident 1 was observed standing barefoot by the foot part of her bed. Resident 1 stated she just came out of the bathroom and does not know why her room door was closed.During an interview on 4/13/2026 at 9:30 a.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 stated and confirmed Resident 1's door was closed and the nursing staff should have kept Resident 1's door open because Resident 1 was a fall risk. LVN 1 stated Resident 1 should be visible at all times to ensure safety. During an interview on 4/13/2026 at 10:07 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 stated he was informed during the nursing huddle (a brief ten to fifteen minute stand-up meeting held at the start of the shift or workday to align the team, discuss patient safety and proactively address potential issues) that Resident 1 was a fall risk, but he was not aware of how often he needed to check on Resident 1. CNA 1 stated Resident 1 wanted her door closed and he did not inform the licensed nurses about it. CNA 1 stated he should have communicated this occurrence to the licensed nurse because Resident 1 was confused and can fall. During an interview on 4/13/2026 at 1:10 p.m., Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS) 1 stated Resident 1 was a fall risk since admission at the facility. RNS 1 confirmed Resident 1 had an unwitnessed fall on 1/31/2026, sustained a left elbow skin tear and the IDT recommended providing Resident 1 with frequent visual checks, timely assistance as needed and reminding the nurses for Resident 1's safety precautions and plan of care. RNS 1 stated she have observed Resident 1 was closing the door of her care area multiple times since last week (did not specify the date) but she was unable to call RP1, inform the attending physician and formulate a plan of care to address this safety concern. RNS 1 stated the nursing staff will not be able to monitor Resident 1 and attend to her care and safety needs in a timely manner if her door remains closed.During an interview on 4/13/2026 at 2:45 p.m., the Director of Nursing Services (DON), the DON stated CNA 1 should have informed LVN1 of Resident 1's door being closed to ensure Resident 1's safety and well-being. The DON stated the nursing staff of the facility should work together to ensure the residents' care areas are accessible to provide the residents' care needs in a timely manner and to prevent a fall and/or injury. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Accidents and Supervision, revised 12/19/2022, the P&P indicated the residents' environment shall be free of accident hazards and the residents shall receive adequate supervision to mitigate risk and/or prevent accidents by:a. identifying hazards and risksb. evaluating and analyzing hazards and risksc. implementing interventions to reduce hazards and risks, andd. monitor for effectiveness and modifying interventions when necessary.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Fall Prevention Program, revised 12/28/2023, the P&P indicated the facility shall provide each resident care and services in accordance with their individualized level of risk to minimize the likelihood of falls. The P&P indicated the facility shall provide each resident with universal environmental interventions that decrease the risk of resident falling, including, but not limited to:a. a clear pathway to the bathroom and bedroom doorsb. shoes, slippers and/or socks with non-slip soles when ambulating, andc. increased frequency of rounds.

F689G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident, who had lower extremities paralysis (inability to move the legs and lower body, typically caused by spinal injury or disease), a right leg below the knee amputation [(BKA) surgical removal of leg below the knee), and was unable to stand without support, was free from falls and injuries during transfer with a mechanical lift (a device designed to help caregivers move a person from a sitting to standing position and from one place to another) for one of three sampled residents (Resident1). The facility failed to: 1. Ensure a certified nursing assistant (CNA 1) used a full body mechanical lift during Resident 1 ' s passive transfer (resident does not participate in the transfer) instead of a Sit-to-Stand lift (a device designed to assist patients who have some mobility but need help to rise from a sitting position and be able to apply pressure with legs). 2. Ensure CNA 1 used a second person, who was a trained CNA on residents ' transfers, to assist her (CNA 1) to transfer Resident 1 from a shower chair to bed as indicated in Resident 1 ' s Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a standardized assessment and care-screening tool) assessment. 3. Ensure CNA 1, who was a registry staff (personnel provided by a placement service on a temporary or on a day-to-day basis, in a facility) was trained on the use of appropriate mechanical lift for a safe Resident 1s ' transfers, based on the resident assessment and needs. 4. Ensure staff followed the facility ' s policy and procedure (P/P) titled Safe Resident Handling/ Transfers dated 9/2/2022, in performing mechanical lifts/ transfers according to the manufacturer ' s instructions for use of the device and utilized two persons physical assistance when transferring residents with a mechanical lift. 5. Ensured the Director of Staff Development (DSD) followed the facility P/P titled Safe Resident Handling/ Transfers dated 9/2/2022, to educated staff from registry on a safe use of mechanical lift devices with staff demonstration of competency in the use of mechanical lifts prior its use to transfer facility ' s residents. These failures resulted in Resident 1 falling from a mechanical lift during transfer by only one person, CNA 1, from a shower chair to bed and sustaining a left femur (thigh bone) fracture (broken bone) with swelling, decreased mobility, and requiring a transfer to a general acute care hospital (GACH) for evaluation. Findings: During a review of Resident 1 ' s Face Sheet, the Face Sheet indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including complete paraplegia (unable to move the legs or lower body) and BKA. During a review of Resident 1 ' s MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 1 had the ability to be understood and to understand others. The MDS indicated, Resident 1 needed a two or more persons extensive (resident involved in activity, staff provide weight-bearing support) physical assistance for bed mobility and toilet use. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was totally dependent on staff for bathing. The MDS indicated Resident 1 had bilateral lower leg impairment that interfered with daily functions or placed the resident at risk of injury. During a review of Resident 1 ' s Physical Therapy (PT) PT Recertification, Progress Report & Updated Therapy plan (PTPR) dated 11/17/2023 (date of service), the PTPR indicated Resident 1 was wheelchair bound and non-ambulatory (not walking). The PTPR indicated Resident 1 was totally dependent on staff for transfers and a mechanical lift (type of device utilized for passive transfers) must be utilized to transfer Resident 1 between surfaces. The PTPR indicated Resident 1 had balance deficits and was a fall risk. During a review of Resident 1 ' s Care Plan (CP) dated 10/24/2022, the CP indicated Resident 1 was at risk for falls related to paraplegia with the goal for Resident 1 to remain free of falls. The CP Interventions included anticipating and meeting Resident 1 ' s needs and to have PT evaluation and treatment. During a Review of Resident 1 ' s CP dated 1/5/2023, the CP indicated Resident 1 had an actual fall related to loss of balance during transfer with staff utilizing a mechanical lift. The CP goal for Resident 1 was to have no further falls with interventions including identify contributing factors to the fall, intervene appropriately, and to assess the appropriate transfer lift to use after the accident. During a review of Resident 1 ' s Situation Background Assessment and Recommendation [(SBAR) a written communication tool health care providers use to share essential, relevant information during crucial situations] communication forms dated 12/30/2022 and 1/1/2023, the SBAR indicated that on 12/30/2022 a swelling of Resident 1 ' s left femur was noted and an x-ray (a medical test that provides images of the structures inside the body) was ordered. The SBAR indicated on 1/1/2023 a new or worsening edema (swelling) related to trauma (physical injury) due to fall was noted on Resident 1 ' s left femur. The Resident 1 ' s SBAR indicated the left femur site was swollen and hot to touch, and the resident denied pain. The SBAR indicated the recommendation was to transfer Resident 1 to GACH on 1/1/2023 (3 days after the fall incident). During a review of Resident 1 ' s Order Summary Report ' s (OSR) dated 1/2023, the OSR indicated a STAT (immediate) x-ray of the resident ' s left femur due to possible fracture was ordered on 12/30/2022. The OSR indicated an order was placed on 1/1/2023 for transfer to GACH 1 for fracture of left proximal (situated nearer to the point of attachment) femoral (related to femur or the thigh) diaphysis (central part of long bone). During a review of Resident 1 ' s left femur X-ray results (XRR) dated 1/1/2023, the XRR indicated Resident 1 had an acute (recent onset) spiral (when a bone is broken with a twisting motion) fracture of the proximal femoral diaphysis, with approximately three (3.0) centimeter [(cm) a unit of measurement of length] medial displacement (abnormal position of the distal [situated away from the center of the body or from the point of attachment] fracture fragment in relation to the proximal bone) and rotation of the distal fracture moiety (each of two parts into which a thing is or can be divided). During a review of Resident 1 ' s facility ' s Transfer Form [(SHTF)- a written tool used to summarize vital information regarding a resident before transfer to another facility), dated 1/1/2023, the SHTF indicated Resident 1 was transferred to GACH 1 on 1/1/2023 at 2:30 p.m., for evaluation of the left femur fracture. During a record review of Resident 1 ' s History and Physical (H&P) report from GACH 1, dated 1/2/2023, the H&P indicated while Resident 1 was being transferred, Resident 1 ' s caregiver unfortunately manipulated the resident ' s leg, and this resulted in a loud crack. The H&P indicated Resident 1 had swelling of the thigh and an x-ray showed an acute fracture. During a review of the facility ' s investigative report dated 1/1/2023, Resident 1 ' s documented interview indicated, a nurse was transferring Resident 1 from the shower chair to the bed using the standing machine (mechanical lift) and he (Resident 1) began to feel dizzy and hot. Resident 1 ' s documented statement indicated he felt himself going down slowly and the next thing he knew, his left leg was folding against the bottom of the standing machine. Resident 1 indicated the nurse transferred him back in bed by herself, following the incident. During a review of Resident 1 ' s, H&P from the facility dated 1/5/2023, the H&P indicated Resident 1 had the capacity to understand and make decisions and Resident 1 had a left femoral fracture with reduced mobility. During a review of Resident 1 ' s Occupational Therapy [(OT) - therapy provided to improve independence with skills of everyday life) Recertification, Progress Report & Updated Therapy Plan (OTPR) dated 1/5/2023, the OTRP indicated Resident 1 was transferred from the facility to GACH 1 due to a fracture of the left femur, no surgery was recommended, and the resident was transferred back to the facility from GACH 1 once he was stabilized. The OTPR indicated Resident 1 presented with a decline in independence in activities of daily living [(ADLs, activities related to personal care)] during this session due to decreased muscle strength, impaired muscle endurance, decreased functional activity tolerance, and impaired sitting balance. The OTPR indicated Resident 1 had poor sitting balance during ADLs. During a review of Resident 1 ' s MDS, dated [DATE] (after the accident), the MDS indicated Resident 1 required two or more-persons physical assistance for bed mobility and transfer between surfaces. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was not steady with surface-to-surface transfers including transfer between the bed and chair or wheelchair and moving on and off the toilet. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was only able to stabilize during transfer with staff assistance. During an interview on 5/11/2023 at 10:21 a.m., Resident 1 stated three days prior to New Year ' s (12/29/2022) CNA 1 insisted on transferring him from the shower chair to the bed using a mechanical lift for safety, but it was unsafe because he ended up falling while using the lift. Resident 1 stated he told CNA 1 he did not want to use that lift, but CNA 1 made him use the mechanical lift anyway. Resident 1 stated CNA1 was helping him by herself and wrapped him up like a cocoon in the sling with his arms crossed against his chest and his legs dangling down out of the sling. Resident 1 stated the sling was pressing against his lungs when the lift began moving and he started to feel dizzy, next thing he knew the lift started going down and his leg bent under him on the footrest, and he heard a loud popping sound. Resident 1 stated, CNA1 put him back in bed by herself and kept apologizing to him before she left the room. Resident 1 stated no staff came in for the rest of the day to evaluate his leg or ask him what happened. Resident 1 stated when CNA 6 came in the next day on 12/30/2022 to help him she noticed the swelling and informed the charge nurse so then they performed an x-ray, and he was sent out to the hospital for a left leg fracture. Resident 1 stated he did not initially have pain but once the swelling started happening, he felt pain 20 out of 10 on a pain scale rating (a system to assess the level of a person ' s pain from 0 to10. A score of 0 meaning no pain and 10 being the worst pain possible). During subsequent interviews on 5/11/2023 at 11:05 a.m. and 12:07 p.m., CNA 2 stated the facility had two different types of lifts for transfers, the mechanical transfer lift which was for totally dependent residents with a full body sling (supports the upper body and lower body), and the sit-to-stand lift for residents that only required limited assistance. CNA 2 stated it was the facility ' s policy to utilize two staff physical assistance to transfer resident by utilizing either type of lifts. CNA2 stated a few months ago, management provided an in-service (staff education) and informed the staff that a registry staff had inappropriately used the sit-to-stand lift machine to transfer Resident 1, and the resident had sustained a left leg fracture. During an interview on 5/11/2023 at 12:39 p.m., the licensed vocational nurse (LVN1) stated she was assigned to Resident 1 the day after the fall. LVN1 stated the CNA 6 assigned to Resident 1 during 7a.m. to 3 p.m. shift on 12/30/2022 informed her (LVN 1) that Resident 1 had a swelling of his left leg. LVN 1 stated she went to assess Resident 1 and the resident had his left upper thigh swollen immensely that she was sure the incident did not occur during her (LVN 1) shift (due to the amount of swelling). LVN 1 stated she was unsure how Resident 1 was hurt but Resident 1 was not complaining of any pain during her shift. During an interview on 5/11/2023 at 12:53 p.m., with the Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA 1), the PTA 1 stated if a resident was assessed as a two-persons physical assistant, two people needed to complete the transfer. PTA 1 stated a mechanical transfer lift with a full body sling was more suitable than the sit-to-stand lift for a totally dependent resident. During an interview on 5/12/2023 at 9:18 a.m. and subsequent interview at 11:23 a.m., CNA 3 stated the resident needed to be able to stand and put a pressure on their legs for at least a few minutes when the sit-to-stand lift is being utilized. CNA 3 stated Resident 1 was a two-persons assistance and staff when used a lift to transfer Resident 1 needed to use two persons for safety. CNA 3 stated she helped to orient the registry staff, when they came to the facility, where to find supply but did not demonstrate to them how to use the lifts unless they asked. During an interview on 5/12/2023 at 11:45 a.m., the DSD stated when registry staff worked at the facility, the facility CNAs gave them a tour and informed the registry staff to ask for help if needed. The DSD stated it was facility ' s policy to utilize a two-persons team for all lifts. The DSD stated they had not given orientation to the registry staff on the types of lifts utilized in the facility unless they had questions. The DSD stated her staff was aware that the sit-to-stand lift could only be used for residents who could put pressure on their legs. During an interview on 5/12/2023 at 12:47 p.m., with Resident 1 ' s Physician (MD 1), MD 1 stated Resident 1 was not able to feel pain the same as you or I due to his spinal cord injury/paraplegia. MD 1 stated that by coincidence he was in the facility on 12/30/2022 (the day after Resident 1 was injured) when he became aware of the resident ' s left leg swelling and ordered an x-ray. MD 1 stated Resident 1 was seen by an orthopedic surgeon at GACH 1 and the surgeon did not recommend surgery due to the risks of surgery outweighing the benefits and Resident 1 was already non-ambulatory due to paralysis. MD 1 stated there was a possibility that Resident 1 could have had a complication due to the fracture, called compartment-syndrome (serious condition that involves increased pressure in a muscle compartment that can lead to muscle and nerve damage and problems with blood flow) that could occur due to the swelling caused by the fracture. During an interview on 5/12/2023 at 1:09 p.m., the DON stated when staff not using the proper mechanical lift or not utilizing two-persons assistants was endangering Resident 1 ' s safety. The DON stated Resident 1 was assessed to have a two-persons assistance, therefore two staff should had been assisting Resident 1 during any transfer. During an interview on 5/17/2023 at 2:50 p.m., CNA 1 stated she was the registry nurse assigned to Resident 1 on 12/29/2022 and remembered the incident that happened with Resident 1 while she was using the mechanical lift to transfer the resident. CNA 1 stated she had just finished showering Resident 1 and needed to transfer him from the shower chair back to bed. CNA 1 stated she placed Resident 1 in the lift and then he (Resident 1) started to go down, his leg just bent against the bottom of the lift.
