- Failure to Provide Necessary Care and Services to Maintain the Highest Well-Being of Every Resident – citation #F309 date May 25, 2017
The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to secure the wheelchair to the floor [of] the facility van, according to manufacturer’s instructions, before transporting one resident reviewed for van transportation.” During the transport, the resident’s wheelchair “fell backward, with the resident landing on her back and hitting her head on the van floor.”
The resident “complained of right shoulder pain after the incident.” The Transportation Aide “failed to call 911 and the facility after the incident and move the resident back to a seated position in the wheelchair.”
The investigative team reviewed the Incident Report that indicated that the resident was riding in the facility van. While in route, the resident’s legs were “up in the air when viewed by the Transportation Aide, in her rearview mirror.” The aide stopped the van and found that the resident was “lying on her back in the wheelchair. “
The Incident Report indicated “the whole wheelchair fell backward.” The resident “informed the van driver [that] her wheelchair fell backward while the bus was turning.”
A Nurse’s Note indicated that one nurse was informed of the incident after the resident “was in the dining room, eating dinner. After the resident finished her meal, the nurse took her to her room for an assessment. The resident had no bumps or bruises on her head, and no bruises or red areas noted on her body.”
However, the resident began complaining of pain to the right shoulder when the nurse raised her arms. An x-ray was ordered and returned negative for results of dislocation or fractures. However, a self-report by the facility was made over an allegation of neglect that occurred during the incident. The Aide had failed to follow established protocols following the manufacturer’s recommendations, which led to the incident involving the resident’s fall.
