Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow its policy and procedures (P&P) titled,
Communication - Call System, for eight of 35 resident rooms (Rooms 7, 20, 21, 24, 25, 26, 29, and 36) by
failing to:
Residents Affected - Some
a. Ensure call lights in the resident rooms were functioning.
b. Ensure call bells were provided for the residents in the seven of the eight rooms that did not have a
functioning call light.
c. Ensure resident safety check rounds were conducted and documented when the residents' call lights
were inoperable (not functioning).
These deficient practices had the potential to result in the delay of care for the residents.
Findings:
During a review of the facility's Maintenance Log (ML) for the month of October 2024, the ML indicated five
rooms (room [ROOM NUMBER]C, 22, 26A, 28B, and 28C) in the facility had issues with call lights not
functioning.
During an observation on 11/26/2024 at 11:14 am with Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA) 1, call lights
were checked in 35 resident rooms in the facility. RNA 1 pressed the call lights in Rooms 20A, 20B, 20C,
24A, 24B, 24C, 26A, 26B, 26C, 29A, 29B, 29C, 36A, 36B, and 36C, and the call lights were observed with
no light turning on above the room doors in the hallway and no light turning on at the call light panel in the
nurses' station. RNA 1 pressed the call lights in Rooms 21A, 21B, 21C, 25A, 25B, and 25C and the call
lights were observed with no light turning on above the room doors in the hallway. RNA 1 pressed the call
lights in room [ROOM NUMBER]A, 7B, and 7C, and the call lights were observed with no light turning on at
the call light panel in the nurses' station.
During an observation on 11/26/2024 at 2:59 pm with the Director of Maintenance (DOM), Rooms 7, 20,
21, 24, 25, 26, and 29 did not have functioning call lights and some of the residents in these rooms were
not provided call bells in the rooms.
During an interview on 11/26/24 at 3:08 pm with the DOM, the DOM stated the facility's protocol was to
provide call bells for residents in the rooms where the call lights were not working. The DOM stated staff
should have already provided the call bells for the residents after knowing that the call lights were not
working.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 11/26/2024 at 4:10 pm with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, RN 1 stated the importance of
having a functioning call light was to promptly answer the needs of the residents if they were either in pain
or if they wanted something to eat. RN 1 stated staff would not know the needs of a resident if the resident's
call light was not working.
During an interview on 11/26/2024 at 4:45 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated staff
needed to provide a call bell for the resident if the resident's call light was not working. The DON stated
there was no documentation being done by staff regarding rounding (practice of checking-in on residents)
as indicated in the facility's policy.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Communication - Call System, dated 10/1/2023, the P&P
indicated the purpose of the call system was To provide a mechanism for residents to promptly
communicate with nursing staff. The P&P indicated, Should the primary call system become inoperable for
any reason, the Facility shall provide a bell for each resident room. Additionally, resident safety check
rounds shall be conducted at least hourly and documented until the primary call system is operable again.
