Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation found that an unlicensed caregiver did not follow the resident's updated care plan when transferring the resident with a walker instead of a mechanical lift, and the resident fell and fractured a hip; however, the Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was not substantiated because the caregiver was not assigned to the resident that day, was unaware of the recent care plan change, and the incident was isolated rather than part of a pattern of errors. The investigation included interviews with staff and family, review of medical records and facility policies, and an onsite visit.
Full inspector notes
Finding: Not Substantiated Nature of Investigation: The Minnesota Department of Health investigated an allegation of maltreatment, in accordance with the Minnesota Reporting of Maltreatment of Vulnerable Adults Act, Minn. Stat. 626.557, and to evaluate compliance with applicable licensing standards for the provider type. Initial Investigation Allegation(s): The alleged perpetrator (AP), a facility staff unlicensed caregiver, neglected the resident when the resident’s plan of care was not followed, resulting in a fall that fractured the resident’s hip. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was not substantiated. Although the AP did not transfer the resident as directed in the resident’s care plan and the resident fell, the error was an isolated incident. The AP at the time of the incident was not assigned to the resident and did not have immediate access to the resident’s plan of care. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigator contacted the resident’s family member. The investigation included review of the resident record, facility internal investigation, facility incident reports, personnel files, staff schedules, and related facility policy and procedures. Also, the investigator made an onsite visit, and observed resident and staff interactions. The resident resided in an assisted living facility. The resident’s diagnoses included congestive heart failure (condition where the heart does not pump blood well enough to meet the body’s needs) and debility. The resident’s care plan included assistance with transfers, and medication management. The resident’s assessment indicated the resident needed transferred with assistance of two unlicensed caregivers and was receiving comfort care with hospice. The residents medical record indicated the AP was attempting to transfer the resident with a walker when the plan of care was to use a mechanical (Hoyer) lift to transfer the resident. The record indicated the resident had fallen and was lying on the floor complaining of pain in the right hip area. An X-ray later showed the resident sustained a hip fracture, but the decision was to not repair the hip but to continue comfort cares with hospice. During an interview, a nurse stated the AP would not have had the residents care plan to review on his tablet as he was not assigned to care for the resident on that day. The resident’s care plan had been recently updated to transfer with a Hoyer lift from requiring assistance of one caregiver using a walker. The nurse also stated the resident was wanting to try to walk again, and the facility scheduled a reevaluation for the following Monday to assess the resident’s ability to walk with the walker. During an interview, the AP stated he worked every other weekend at the facility. On the day of the incident, the AP was asked to take the resident to her room. The AP stated in previous times he had worked; the resident had transferred using a gait belt and the walker. The AP stated he did not review the resident’s care plan that day as he was not assigned to provide care for her and was not aware of the recent changes to her plan of care and did not receive a report at the beginning of the shift that would have included recent care plan changes. During an interview, a family member stated upon his arrival to the facility the day of the incident, the resident told him she had asked the AP to put the walker in front of her. The AP assisted her to stand and then turned to move the Broda chair. The resident then fell and sustained a fractured hip. The family member stated the AP had relayed the same occurrence of events and was very apologetic. The family member during the same interview stated the resident wanted to walk so badly, she would have taken any opportunity to try to do so. The family member stated the resident has returned to baseline condition or better condition now than at the time of the incident. In conclusion, the Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was not substantiated. “Not Substantiated” means: An investigatory conclusion indicating the preponderance of evidence shows that an act meeting the definition of maltreatment did not occur. Neglect: Minnesota Statutes, section 626.5572, subdivision 17 “Neglect” means neglect by a caregiver or self-neglect. (a) "Caregiver neglect" means the failure or omission by a caregiver to supply a vulnerable adult with care or services, including but not limited to, food, clothing, shelter, health care, or supervision which is: (1) reasonable and necessary to obtain or maintain the vulnerable adult's physical or mental health or safety, considering the physical and mental capacity or dysfunction of the vulnerable adult; and (2) which is not the result of an accident or therapeutic conduct. (5) an individual makes an error in the provision of therapeutic conduct to a vulnerable adult that results in injury or harm, which reasonably requires the care of a physician, and: (i) the necessary care is provided in a timely fashion as dictated by the condition of the vulnerable adult; (ii) if after receiving care, the health status of the vulnerable adult can be reasonably expected, as determined by the attending physician, to be restored to the vulnerable adult's preexisting condition; (iii) the error is not part of a pattern of errors by the individual; (iv) if in a facility, the error is immediately reported as required under section 626.557, and recorded internally in the facility; (v) if in a facility, the facility identifies and takes corrective action and implements measures designed to reduce the risk of further occurrence of this error and similar errors; and (vi) if in a facility, the actions required under items (iv) and (v) are sufficiently documented for review and evaluation by the facility and any applicable licensing, certification, and ombudsman agency. Vulnerable Adult interviewed: Yes Family/Responsible Party interviewed: Yes Alleged Perpetrator interviewed: Yes Action taken by facility: The facility investigated the incident, the AP was suspended, and retraining was provided. Action taken by the Minnesota Department of Health: No further action taken at this time. cc: The Office of Ombudsman for Long Term Care The Office of Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities PRINTED: 09/05/2024 FORM APPROVED STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION (X3) DATE SURVEY AND PLAN OF CORRECTION IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: COMPLETED A.

Plain-language summary
The Minnesota Department of Health investigated a complaint that a staff member's decision to leave a resident alone in the bathroom resulted in a fall causing a head injury, but determined the allegation of neglect was not substantiated because the fall was an isolated incident and the resident recovered to baseline health after receiving emergency room treatment for a hematoma. Following the incident, the facility implemented new safety measures including requiring staff to remain within arm's reach of the resident at all times, installing bed and chair alarms, and relocating the resident's room closer to the nurse's station for better monitoring.

Stat. 626.557, and to evaluate compliance with applicable licensing standards for the provider type. Initial Investigation Allegation(s): The facility neglected a resident when a staff member left them alone in the bathroom, resulting in the resident's fall.

After helping the resident sit on the toilet, he left to respond to another call light. While the staff member was gone, the resident fell and hit his head. The resident progress notes indicated staff member heard the resident fall and returned immediately. The same document indicated the staff member observed labored breathing and the resident was sent to the emergency department.

The day before this incident the resident’s progress notes indicated the resident was seen by his medical provider after a recent hospitalization. The same progress noted indicated the resident had audible wheezing but described his lungs sounds as clear and with no deep wheezing. The same document indicated the plan for was for a follow-up appointment about five days later with the medical provider.

The nurse said a focus assessment was conducted after the resident's discharge from both hospital stays. During an interview, the staff member stated he worked overnight and helped the resident use the bathroom that night.

He called for assistance, and the resident was subsequently taken to the hospital. The staff member noted up until that day, they were not required to stay with the resident in the bathroom. However, after the incident, new protocols were implemented, and staff were instructed to stay with the resident within arm's reach at all times. During an interview, the family member stated the resident had been discharged from the hospital recently due to fluid overload. A day after returning, he fell in the bathroom and was taken to the ER during the night. Although he had a hematoma on his head, there was no major injury, so he was discharged the next day.
