- G Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
Inspectors wroteTHE FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY.Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to conduct a safe resident transfer onto a transportation van to prevent a fall with injury for Resident #63. This affected one resident (#63) of three residents reviewed for falls. The facility census was 64. Actual harm occurred on 09/10/25 when Resident #63 fell forward out of his wheelchair onto the concrete ground while being transferred by staff onto a facility transportation van. This resulted in resident complaints of back pain and multiple skin tears and abrasions to the head, left elbow, and multiple fingers of each hand. The resident was transferred to the hospital and admitted with the presence of an acute re-bleed from a chronic subdural hematoma.
