Monument Healthcare Bountiful: Immediate Jeopardy - UT
Federal inspectors who visited the facility on November 6, 2025, found exactly that. The mechanical patient lifts used to hoist residents out of beds and wheelchairs were missing their safety latches, a deficiency serious enough that inspectors cited it as immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety.
The latches are not a minor component. According to the Viking XL Mobile Lift instruction guide reviewed during the inspection, the latches must always be replaced if missing or damaged. The guide specifies that after installation, the spring-loaded latch must sit taut against the sling bar and move freely in the hook. Without that, there is nothing securing the sling, and the resident suspended inside it, to the lift.
The facility's own policy, last revised in February 2024, required staff to examine all hooks, clips, and fasteners before anyone left the ground. It required a double-check of sling attachment security. It required at least two nursing assistants present for every mechanical lift transfer. The checklist existed. The latches did not.
The Director of Nursing, when asked about the missing hardware, did not dispute the risk. She confirmed it was concerning. She confirmed it was open. She confirmed a malfunctioning lift could cause harm.
What she did not explain was how lifts in that condition remained in use.
Mechanical lift failures are among the more unambiguous dangers in a nursing home setting. A resident being transferred cannot brace for a fall. Many cannot call out. The sling is the only thing between them and the floor, and the latch is the only thing keeping the sling attached.
At Monument Healthcare Bountiful, that last layer of protection was gone.
