According to investigators, the facility “failed to ensure privacy and dignity for [two residents].” The deficient practice resulted “in potential embarrassment.” On June 6, 2018, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) “was observed in the 300 Hallway, near [a resident’s room] with a resident “raised up in a mechanical lift. Other residents were observed in the hallway in the vicinity of the transfer, within eyeshot, and no privacy was provided while [the CNA obtained the resident’s] weight.”
In a separate summary statement dated April 5, 2017, the facility “failed to maintain dignity related to knocking and requesting entry into a resident’s room.” Also, the facility failed to maintain dignity “related to the timely provision of toileting [that resulted] and the potential for feelings of embarrassment, frustration, and discomfort.”
The nursing home “failed to perform a safe transfer and utilize a footrest for safe wheelchair mobility [involving three residents] reviewed for accidents and hazards.” The deficient practice resulted “in the potential for falls in injury.”
An observation was made of a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in the 300 Hallway raising a resident using a mechanical lift in eyeshot of other residents. The surveyors interviewed two Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) who reported that “it was acceptable to weigh a resident in the hallway with a mechanical lift and one staff assist.” One CNA said that “some of the rooms or too small, to weigh a resident in the room.”
A different incident was observed when a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) transported the resident “into the Upper West Dining Room without foot pedals on the wheelchair.” The resident’s “feet were dangling on the chair with his toes rubbing against the floor as he was being transported.”
