Findings
Alleged Victim (AV) relies on the facility for his/her care. AV was care planned for two-person transfers. AV was known to attempt unsafe self-transfers into other resident’s unoccupied beds. On or about July 7, 2021, AV fell while trying to self-transfer from his/her wheelchair to another resident’s bed. AV went to the hospital and was found to have a knee injury that required surgical intervention. The facility failed to appropriately care plan to mitigate the risk of AV self-transferring, which is a violation of resident’s rights, is neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
