Friendship Manor: Accident Hazard Violations - IL
The November 27 incident at Friendship Manor occurred when V7, a private caregiver who had worked with the resident for over two years, assisted CNA V5 with a transfer from bed to recliner using a mechanical lift.
"I attached the two top loops onto the mechanical lift and V5 attached the bottom loops," V7 told inspectors. "When we were transferring R1 from the bed, we were almost done and ready to place R1 into the recliner, and R1 slipped out of the sling and fell on buttocks onto the floor."
The cause was immediate. "We realized that the sling was not properly placed between R1's legs and that caused R1 to slip onto the floor," V7 said.
V7 acknowledged she lacked any training on mechanical lifts. "I am not a CNA, and I did not have any training with the mechanical lift," she said. "I was told that I should not help with transferring R1 because I am not trained."
CNA V5, who described herself as "fairly new," said the resident "had a different kind of sling that I was not familiar with. I did not have the loops placed correctly between R1's legs and the sling slipped."
The resident was transported to the hospital but returned by 8 p.m. with only "a small little minor scratch on R1's left ear from it hitting the side of the lift."
Director of Nursing V2 said V7 "should not have been helping with the mechanical lift transfer because V7 is not a Facility employee and had not been trained on our mechanical lifts."
The facility now requires two trained CNAs for all mechanical lift transfers. But for over two years, an untrained private caregiver had been helping with transfers because "they always used to use just one CNA."
