R1 requested assistance from staff to start her day. As V4 CNA assisted R1 to roll to her side R1's leg fell off the bed. V4 CNA attempted to lift R1's legs back on to the bed, due to R1's large size and V4's small size, R1 and V4 CNA fell approximately 4 feet from the bed to the floor. R1's legs crossed during the fall.
Due to R1's morbid obesity, osteoarthritis, and the impact pressure of the fall, R1 sustained a left and a right femur fracture.R1's Progress Notes dated 8/13/2025 at 6:30AM, shows, called emergency room for an update on resident status .
Resident is admitted with a diagnosis of Closed fracture of proximal end of left femur; closed fracture of distal end of right femur; left urethral stone.On 08/20/2025 at 10:27AM, R7 said, my roommate (R1) is in the hospital. R1 fell when the CNA-Certified Nursing Assist was providing incontinent care. It was a hard fall. R1 weighs over 300 pounds and the CNA is small.
The CNA was not able to catch her. On 08/20/2025 at 12:15PM, V3 LPN-Licensed Practical Nurse said, R1's X-ray showed she broke her left and right femur bones.
The CNA that was taking care of R1 rolled her leg too close to the side of the bed.
The CNA tried to lift R1's leg back into the bed, but R1 had to be lowered to the ground. V3 stated when V3 went in the room R1 was sitting by the bed on the floor. R1 said, there was a POP to the right knee and later complained of left thigh pain.On 08/20/25 at 12:30PM, V4 CNA said, I was preparing R1 to get out of bed into the wheelchair. I rolled R1 from one side to the other during morning care. R1's leg fell off the side of the bed, I was not able to do anything, I tried to put her back into bed. I grabbed her waist and lowered her to floor. R1's legs crossed as we went to the floor. R1 ended up sitting on the floor with her legs crossed in a sitting position. I uncrossed them and called the nurse. We placed a sling under her and used a mechanical lift to put her back into the bed. On 08/20/2025 at 1:43PM, V2 DON-Director of Nursing said, R1's legs swung over the side of the bed.
The CNA is very small.
With R1's weight, combined with R1's legs being crossed as R1 went to the ground, the left and right hip fractures happened.On 08/21/2025 at 2:05PM, V5 NP-Nurse Practitioner said, R1 started slipping off the bed.
