F 0908 Keep all essential equipment working safely.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 51254 potential for actual harm Based on observations and interviews, the facility failed to ensure essential equipment was in safe operating Residents Affected - Few condition when batteries died while transferring residents on 2 of 4 mechanical lifts reviewed for physical environment. This failure placed residents at risk of being injured and a diminished quality of life.

Findings included .

On [DATE REDACTED] at 2:07 PM, Resident 17 said the battery on the mechanical lift had died numerous times during transfers. Resident 17 said he was left suspended in the mechanical lift between the bed and chair while staff left the room or called others to swap out the battery. Resident 17 said the nursing staff also struggled with maneuvering the mechanical lifts due to hair tangled in the wheels of the mechanical lifts. Resident 17 said he felt there was a concern for safety due to both issues.

On [DATE REDACTED] at 10:13 AM, the mechanical lift in the Country Side short hall was observed sitting in the hallway with hair tangled in the rear wheels.

On [DATE REDACTED] at 11:50 AM, Resident 17 was observed when Staff L, Nursing Assistant (NA), and Staff F, NA, were using a mechanical lift to transfer Resident 17 from the bedside commode to the bed. During the transfer the mechanical lift stopped midway with the resident suspended in the sling when the battery died . Resident was left hanging in the air for two minutes while staff went to the door of the room and asked another staff to bring a different charged battery. Staff F said some of the Hoyer (type of lift) batteries held charges longer than other, and sometimes they died while in use. During the transfer of Resident 17, the wheels appeared difficult to turn causing a jerking motion of Resident 17. The wheels on the mechanical lift were tangled with a large amount of what appeared to be hair and lint making the wheel motion less smooth.

On [DATE REDACTED] at 10:15 AM, Staff K, Housekeeping Supervisor, said there was no schedule for cleaning the wheels on the mechanical lifts. After inspecting the Hoyer lift machine, Staff K stated, Oh, yes. That does need to be cleaned.

At 12:54 PM, Staff J, Maintenance Supervisor, said the Hoyer lift batteries dying had been an ongoing issue. Staff J said the staff did not put them into the charger correctly. Staff J said this was user error and he had told the staff multiple times how to insert the batteries correctly. When asked about routine maintenance on

the batteries, Staff J said he did random tests on the batteries to see if they were still good. Staff J said he did not have a maintenance log for these checks but did them when he thought of it.
