The facility's Director of Nursing conducted hasty staff education sessions throughout the inspection day, according to employee interviews.

Staff received training on operating Hoyer lifts and sit-to-stand equipment. The DON told employees to "check the Kardex always to make sure the right transfer would be done" and instructed them to ask nurses when uncertain about transfer methods.

The Weekend Supervisor said the DON called her "last night for the in-service and also that morning" about different transfer types and safe handling procedures. She confirmed staff were told to check machines before using them.

Even non-direct care staff participated in the emergency training. The Activity Director said she attended the transfer safety in-service despite not performing transfers, calling it "good food for the brain just in case extra help was needed."

A housekeeping employee said he was educated on what to do if he found a resident on the floor, specifically that he "needed to call the nurses in case a resident fell."

CNA A confirmed during a telephone interview that she received training on "safe transfer and handling of the residents" and understood she needed to follow proper transfer procedures "to ensure resident safety."

The immediate jeopardy citation indicates inspectors found violations that could cause serious injury, harm, impairment or death to residents.
