32 | During multiple visits conducted at the facility, LPA observed the facility to have four (4) hoyer lifts on cite and one (1) sit-to-stand lift on cite. LPA observed four (4) residents to be receiving assistance with a hoyer lift or sit-to-stand lift and reviewed their care plans to ensure that necessary care was documented. LPA observed staff schedule and observed a sufficient number of staff scheduled per shift.
Interviews conducted with staff members S1, S2, S3, and S4 indicated that they have never witnessed residents in need of a hoyer lift not receive staff assistance with a hoyer lift, never witnessed residents being lifted by staff in an unsafe way, and never witnessed residents not receiving services in accordance to their care plan. Interviews conducted with residents R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 indicated that their care needs are being met at the facility. R1, R2, R3, and R4 confirmed that they use a hoyer lift or a sit-to-stand lift and indicated that they have had no bad experiences receiving care with the lift and no issues with safety regarding the lift.
Based on interviews conducted, observations, and records reviewed, the above allegation is found to be UNFOUNDED. A finding that the allegation is unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis.
