The state investigators determined that the nursing home failed to ensure a resident’s “wheelchair was forward-facing and tiedown straps were secured properly during transport on the facility bus.” The deficient practice affected one wheelchair-bound resident “reviewed for proper transport.”
On January 11, 2017, “the State Agency received an anonymous complaint that the resident’s wheelchair turned over while being transported from the nursing facility to the hospital.” The complainant alleged that the resident hit their head “when the vehicle hit a bump and the wheelchair rolled back.”
A Nurses Note from December 16, 2016, indicated that the resident was being transported to the local Outpatient Center for surgical procedure using a van. The surgical documentation with the same date indicates that the resident “fell out of the wheelchair during transport from the nursing home to the hospital. A CT scan done to the head after arrival to preop was negative for intracranial hemorrhage.”
The resident’s son stated that he was at the hospital “when the bus arrived. He said he was informed there was an incident on the bus on the way from the facility.” The son said that the staff had the resident’s wheelchair “facing the side of the bus, instead of the front, and said he noted [the resident] had what appeared to be a blood blister on the back of the head.”
The nursing home “failed to ensure wound care was provided, for [a resident] with multiple pressure ulcers, [to] prevent infection.” A licensed staff member “failed to wash her hands after picking up tape dropped on the floor, and then proceeded to prepare supplies for the wound treatment.”
The licensed staff member also “failed to wash hands during treatment before applying product to the wound. These failures affected [the resident].” The Director of Nursing was with the surveyors during the observation of wound care treatment. The Director verified that the wound care nurse “should have washed her hands and put on clean gloves” indicating that harm could occur by not changing gloves or washing hands, including the spread of infection.
