staff asked residents to use their personal cell
phones or a manual call bell (a hollow metal
cup that when struck vibrates in a single strong
tone, with its sides forming an efficient
resonator) to call facility staff for assistance.
For Resident's 1 and 2, this failure had the
potential to result in the delay of care in an
emergency.

Resident 1 stated when he needed assistance
with care and medication services, staff were
inconsistent in answering both the manual call
bell and his cell phone calls to the facility.
Resident 1 stated at times he had pain and a
problem sleeping. Resident 1 stated at night
time and weekends he had to walk to get a
nurse because they (nursing) could not hear
the (manual) call bell. Resident 1 stated he
had to frequently get up and go looking for a
nurse when he or his roommate (Resident 2)
needed help.
In an interview on 7/9/18, at 10:25 a.m.
Resident 1 stated the call system had not
worked for over six weeks. Resident 1 stated
the facility asked residents to use personal cell
phones or (manual) call bell to call facility staff
for help. Resident 1 stated staff did not answer
calls from his cell phone to the facility or the

2. Record review of Resident 2's MDS, dated
4/30/18, indicated Resident 2 had clear

wants, and understood what other said to him.
Resident 2's MDS also indicated he needed
two persons extensive physical assist with
movement from bed to chair, he was frequently
incontinent (insufficient voluntary control over)
of urine, he was always incontinent of bowel
movement, and needed one person physical
assist with urinary and bladder incontinent
care.
In an interview on 7/9/18, at 11:30 a.m.,
Resident 2 stated he had a stomach ulcer and
was afraid he could bleed to death if he did not
get assistance timely. Resident 2 stated he did
not feel safe at the facility because staff were
inconsistent in answering the (manual) call bell
or calls from his cell phone (to the facility) when
he needed assistance with care and pain
medication at night time and on weekends.
Resident 2 stated he was not able to get out of
bed without assistance.
During an observation at the nursing station
closest to Resident 1's room and concurrent
interview on 6/12/18, at 12:08 p.m., Resident 1
rang his manual call bell in his room. Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN 1), who was at the
nursing station closest to Resident 1's room,
stated she heard a (manual) call bell sound, but
could not tell where the sound came from.
In an interview with the Administrator on 7/9/18
at 12:09 p.m., the Administrator stated the
facility's call system was out and not working
since May 2018. To call for assistance, the
