Based on the facility's investigation:-on 12/27/25 at 8:12 AM, Resident #8 fell backwards in his wheelchair, hitting his head and back on the back door of the facility van while being transported back from his dialysis treatment. Resident #8 reported pain in his neck after the fall.- Resident #8 was sent to the hospital for evaluation.-on 12/27/25, the facility van was inspected by the Maintenance Supervisor and no issues or concerns were found.

The facility determined the incident had occurred because the straps had not been connected correctly to Resident #8's wheelchair and had come loose during the transport resulting in his wheelchair falling backwards.The facility's investigation substantiated the failure to prevent injury to a resident when the van driver did not secure the resident's wheelchair properly before transporting him.
