- Failure to Provide Every Resident an Environment Free of Accident Hazards and Provide Adequate Supervision to Prevent Avoidable Accidents – citation #F689 date August 3, 2019
The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to attach and tighten the mechanical lift leg straps around the lower legs, per manufacturer’s guidelines.” The nursing home also “failed to implement the Care Plan and care guide interventions, indicating the use of two persons for assistance when transferring with the use of the mechanical lift (sit to stand).”
The nursing home also failed to “ensure the resident had on non-skid footwear.” As a result of the deficient practice, the resident “slipped during a transfer from the mechanical lift, which allowed two lift straps to slip around the resident’s neck, which caused the resident’s face to turn purplish-blue in color.”
The state investigative team determined an Immediate Jeopardy situation began when “the resident slipped while only one staff member was transferring her, using a mechanical lift.” The Immediate Jeopardy also included the nursing home’s failure to “properly secure [the resident] to the lift and ensure she was wearing non-skid footwear when the lift straps slipped around the resident’s neck .”
· In a separate summary statement of deficiencies, dated September 20, 2019, the facility “failed to provide supervision to prevent accidents and failed to implement appropriate interventions to prevent further accidents.” The deficient practice by the nursing staff resulted in multiple falls for a severely cognitively impaired resident.
The investigators reviewed the resident’s Care Plan. The plan indicated there was a history of multiple falls, impulsive behavior causing falls , generalized muscle weakness, unsteady balance and coordination, weakness, limited endurance and other conditions.
Incident reports revealed that the resident stood up from her wheelchair and fell on the floor on ten separate occasions between January 4, 2019, and September 28, 2019.
