Complaint Investigation
Deficiencies: 1
Date: Jan 31, 2025
Visit Reason
The inspection was conducted due to a complaint investigation regarding the facility's failure to ensure staff followed a care plan requiring two staff members to perform a mechanical lift transfer for Resident #43, which resulted in a fractured femur.
Complaint Details
The complaint investigation found that a CNA performed a mechanical lift transfer alone on 01/26/2025 despite the care plan requiring two staff members. The resident was found with a swollen knee and later diagnosed with an acute angulated spiral fracture of the distal right femur. The CNA admitted to not seeking help due to short staffing and was suspended. The Medical Director did not consider the fracture to be Immediate Jeopardy and believed it was spontaneous.
Findings
The facility failed to follow the care plan requiring two staff members for mechanical lift transfers, leading to Resident #43 sustaining a right distal femur fracture. Staff were short-staffed, and a CNA performed the transfer alone without assistance or reporting the improper transfer. The facility initiated training and monitoring after the incident.
