Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that Certified Nursing
Assistant 1 (CNA 1), CNA 2, and Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) responded in a timely manner to
requests for assistance to the bathroom for one of one resident (Resident 4). This deficient practice resulted
in Resident 4 having unmet needs. Findings: During a review of Resident 4' s admission Record (AR), the
AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 4 on 11/6/2025, with diagnoses that included traumatic
hemorrhage of the cerebrum (bleeding in the brain), muscle weakness, and lack of coordination. During a
review of Resident 4's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated
11/13/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 4 had moderately impaired cognition (a level of cognitive decline).
The MDS indicated Resident 4 was dependent with rolling left and right, chair/bed-to-chair transfer. During
an observation on 1/8/2026 from 1:16 PM to 1:25 PM, Resident 4 was sitting in a wheelchair at the foot of
the bed, facing away from the door, and was yelling repeatedly, Can I go to the bathroom, 16 times. During
an observation on 1/8/2026 at 1:18 PM, CNA 1 entered Resident 4's room, looked around the room, while
Resident 4 was yelling, Can I go to the bathroom, CNA 1 did not communicate with Resident 4 and left the
room. During an observation on 1/8/2026 at 1:21 PM, CNA 2 entered Resident 4's room, but did not assist
Resident 4 with toileting. CNA 2 did not communicate with Resident 4 and left the room. Resident 4
continued to repeatedly yell, Can I go to the bathroom. I just want to go to the bathroom. Resident 4 stated,
I would make a mess and you going to be stuck with it. During an observation on 1/8/2026 at 1:24 PM, LVN
1 was standing in front of the medication cart located in the hallway close by Resident 4's room while
Resident 4 continued to call out, Can I go to the bathroom. LVN 4 started to prepare medications and then
entered Resident 4's room to administer medications. During an observation on 1/8/2026 at 1:27 PM, the
Director of Nursing (DON) stated staff needed to assist Resident 4 once they heard him asking for
assistance to the bathroom. The DON stated that they need to stop and notify the assigned CNA. The DON
stated if the staff member who heard the resident calling was not the staff assigned to Resident 4, they
needed to inform the assigned staff. During an observation on 1/8/2026 at 1:30 PM, the DON approached
CNA 2, and CNA 2 went to Resident 4's room and asked Resident 4 what the resident needed. Resident 4
stated the resident needed to have a bowel movement. CNA 2 stated the CNA would help the resident and
asked resident to wait a few minutes. During an observation on 1/8/2026 from 1:30 PM to 1:35 PM,
Resident 4 was sitting in a wheelchair and was no longer yelling. During an interview on 1/8/2026 at 1:40
PM, LVN 1 stated that LVN 1 was preoccupied with the medication pass. LVN 1 stated that when a resident
would call out to use the bathroom, LVN 1 needed to check on the resident and page the staff assigned to
that resident. During an interview on 1/8/2026 at 2:06 PM, CNA 1 stated that at the time CNA 1 went to
Resident 4's room, CNA 1 was taking out meal trays. CNA 1 stated that Resident 4 could get very
persistent, and that there were not a lot of things that would keep Resident 4 happy. During a review of the
facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P), titled

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the call light system was
functioning to allow one of one resident (Resident 4) to call for staff assistance. This deficient practice had
the potential for Resident 4 to have unmet needs.Findings: During a review of Resident 4' s admission
Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 4 on 11/6/2025, with diagnoses that included
traumatic hemorrhage of the cerebrum (bleeding in the brain), muscle weakness, and lack of coordination.
During a review of Resident 4's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool),
dated 11/13/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 4 had moderately impaired cognition (a level of cognitive
decline). The MDS indicated Resident 4 was dependent with rolling left and right, chair/bed-to-chair
transfer. During an observation on 1/8/2026 from 1:16 PM to 1:25 PM, Resident 4 was sitting in a
wheelchair at the foot of the bed, facing away from the door, and was yelling repeatedly, Can I go to the
bathroom, 16 times. The call light button was next to the resident, taped on top of the bottom rail. During an
observation on 1/8/2026 at 1:20 PM, Resident 4 pressed the call light button placed near him; the call light
bulb outside the door did not turn on and there was no audible sound outside the door. During an
observation and interview on 1/8/2026 at 1:21 PM, CNA 2 confirmed that the call light outside Resident 4's
room did not light up when Resident 4 pressed the call light button and that there were no audible sound
and light outside the door. CNA 2 stated CNA 2 would call maintenance for the call light. During an
observation on 1/8/2026 at 1:26 PM, the Maintenance Staff (MS) entered Resident 4's room to activate the
call light. The MS stated the light bulb outside the door was not working. The MS stated MS did not receive
a report Resident 4's call light needed to be checked until now. During an interview on 1/8/2026 at 1:59 PM,
LVN 2 stated the call light needs to be working properly for residents to be able to reach staff when they
need help. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P), titled Communication - Call System,
dated 10/9/2024, the P&P indicated the facility will maintain a communication system to allow residents to
call for staff assistance from their rooms and toileting/bathing facilities to ensure that residents have a
means of contacting Facility staff for assistance. The P&P indicated if the call alert system is defective, it will
be reported to maintenance for immediate repair.
