told not to move a resident if they fall. He said if he was walking down the hall and saw a resident on the floor, he knew not to move them. He said if a resident were to fall on the van, he was to make sure he was
in a safe location and call 911. He would call EMS to pick them up and report to the facility immediately. Van Driver B said it was the general rule of the whole facility if you are not licensed you are not allowed to pick a resident up. He said if a resident fell a nurse had to assess them, before they were moved. He said part of
the job as the van driver, was to take time and make sure the resident was secure prior to transport. During
an interview on 9/24/25 at 12:20 p.m. Resident # 4 said she rode the van to dialysis three times weekly. She said she did not have any issues with Van Driver A or Van Driver B. During an interview on 9/24/25 at 12:21 p.m. Resident # 5 said he rode the van to dialysis three times weekly. He said he did not have any issues with Van Driver A or Van Driver B. During an observation on 9/24/25 at 12:25 p.m. of Van Driver B securing
a resident in a wheelchair in the van. The facility van showed it was just wide enough for one wheelchair.
Observation revealed the back tie downs could be connected on the back of the van. However, to connect
the front wheelchair tiedowns you had to stand on the ground with the door opened and buckle them from
the outside of the van. Observation of Van Driver B showed he connected the resident wheelchair tiedowns
on all four wheels of the wheelchair. He strapped the seat belts over the shoulder and around the waist of
the resident. Once the resident was secured, he released the brakes of the wheelchair and tried to move
the wheelchair from side to side and back and forth. He said that was an extra precaution to check and make sure the resident was secured. He then relocked the breaks. Observation of the right wheel of the wheelchair not tied down showed the wheelchair would only move to the right about 2 to 4 inches when tilted backward. Observations indicated for the wheelchair to fall backward both the right and the left wheelchair tiedowns would need to be unsecured. During an interview on 9/24/25 at 12:50 p.m. the Administrator said he felt they did the right thing by terminating Van Driver A. They had the company coming on 9/29/25 to train the new staff member on driving the van. He said the company was supposed to come on 9/22/25 but they got their times crossed up somehow. He said the new driver, Van Driver B, and himself as a backup driver would be given the training for safe and secure transportation of residents. He said they were already trained on the facility policy for transportation of residents and would be trained again as part of the company training procedures. On 9/24/25 at 3:50 p.m. the Administrator, DON, ADON, and MDS coordinator were informed of the PNC IJ verbally and emailed the IJ template.
