SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
facility) to inspect and repair a wheelchair securement system.
What I found in the front row of seating was that both shoulder belts were malfunctioning.
One would not pull out and the other would not retract.
One of the two seat belts was completely missing.
Employees securing residents should have known it wasn't in safe working order.
The occupant securement system was not fully functioning and that van should not have been in service. We recommend the securement system be inspected every six months.
The last inspection we did was dated May of 2024.R5's Minimum Data Set MDS dated [DATE] documents R5 is cognitively in tact. On 10/9/25 at 2:00PM R5 was seated in her room in a wheelchair. R5 was agreeable to be interviewed. R5 stated Boy do I ever remember that wreck.
The first I knew (V9) screamed out and I went flying forward. I didn't get tossed out of my chair because I got trapped between my wheelchair and the back of (R2's) wheelchair. (R2) went flying right out of her wheelchair and she hollered 'OUCH Help me Help me.' Then the cops (police) and ambulance guys came. I wasn't hurt, but I was lucky and I was sure shook up. (R2) was hurt and I haven't seen her back.
That kind of worries me. (R2's) seat belts were real loose and I didn't have the lap belt or the shoulder belt on. I guess it could have been worse, but I was scared. On 10/9/25 at 2:30 V14, Nurse Practitioner verified the 9/16/25 accident caused the fractures of (R2's) humerus, fibula, and tibia.
