Failure to Provide Every Resident an Environment Free of Accident Hazards and Provide Adequate Supervision to Prevent Avoidable Accidents - citation date August 16, 2018
The state investigators determined that the facility "failed to ensure a safe and secure environment related to accidents." This failure "resulted in actual harm to a resident who was being transferred from the bed to the Geri-chair by one Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) rather than to as per the Care Plan." This deficient practice "resulted in a nondisplaced tibia fracture."
Documentation shows that the resident "was attempting to remove the Continues Passive Motion (CPM is a postoperative treatment method that is designed to aid recovery after joint surgery) without assistance from the staff when her left hand got caught in the machine." This action resulted in injury to the resident's left hand.
In a separate summary statement dated August 4, 2017, the facility "failed to provide two residents who were identified as cognitively impaired and independently mobile, with required supervision when toileting in an environment free from potential accident hazards." The handrails in the resident's bathroom were "not secured to the wall, and there was no emergency cord for public restrooms that were accessible to residents.
This deficient practice had the potential to allow for injury to any resident that used at the grab bar in the resident's restrooms or any resident that was able to get into the public restrooms."
The surveyors interviewed a resident who had been admitted to the facility for rehabilitation "after falling at home" and fracturing ribs." The resident stated that "after using the restroom in his room, he went to use the grab bar on the wall next to the toilet to help him stand up, and the grab bar pulled out from the wall."
The resident stated that "he reported it to the nurse when it happened." Observations of the damage in the resident's room revealed that "the grab bar had pulled out of the wall and was unable to be used to assist with sitting down or getting up from the toilet."
