The resident did have to go to the hospital and have sutures.During an observation, on 11/18/2025 at 9:38 A.M., CNA 2 indicated the location on the resident's specialized high back wheelchair where the resident's legs scrapped on the bottom corners where there was exposed metal. The two outer corners of the bottom of the foot pedals were missing the plastic caps, the two inner corners had caps in place. The metal was felt and was rough to the touch.

She believed maintenance would inspect the wheelchairs daily.During an interview and observation, on 11/18/2025 at 10:28 A.M., the Therapy Manager indicated the resident, nor her wheelchair had been seen by their department since the incident in August. The resident's chair should not have been missing the plastic pieces. During an interview, on 11/18/2025 at 10:44 A.M., the Maintenance Director indicated the residents specialized high back wheelchairs were inspected by him if nursing requested for them to be looked at or if there was a work order for it. There wasn't a checklist to check off unless there was a work order. After Resident B's incident he did look at the resident's chair. He determined there were no adjustments needed to the chair. He didn't see anything wrong with the chair, nothing was out of place, and there were not any missing pieces. He transferred the chair back to the nursing department to reevaluate.

It was the facilities responsibility to ensure the plugs were in place. If the pieces were missing, then they should have them replaced as it was part of the quality check when the chair was shipped. An emergency room Visit Note, dated 08/23/2025 indicated the resident presented to the emergency room when her legs got twisted up in a sharp part of the wheelchair causing some skin tears and lacerations of the lower extremities.
