observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff answered call lights (device used
by residents to signal his or her need for assistance from staff) in a timely manner for three of 4 sampled
residents (Resident 3, Resident 4, and Resident 1).These failures had the potential to result in resident's
care needs not being met and placed residents' safety at risk. Findings: 1a. A review of the admission
Record indicated Resident 3 was admitted last week of July 2025 with diagnoses including acute
respiratory failure with hypoxia (lungs unable to get enough oxygen into the blood) and protein calorie
malnutrition (the body does not get enough protein and energy to function properly).A review of Resident
3's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 7/30/25 indicated
Resident 3 was cognitively intact.A review of Resident 3's physician order dated 7/26/25 indicated Resident
3 had the capacity to make healthcare decisions.In a concurrent observation and interview on 7/29/25 at
12:29 p.m., Resident 3 was lying in bed with the head of the bed elevated and had ongoing oxygen via
nasal cannula (a small plastic tube, which fits into the person's nostrils providing supplemental oxygen).
Resident 3 stated she needed oxygen all the time. Resident 3 further stated she cannot walk, she had
incontinent briefs and when she pressed the call light, she had to wait a long time to be changed. Resident
3 was asked to elaborate the specific time when she had to wait for assistance, resident stated whenever I
go [opened bowels or urinated].1b. A review of the admission Record indicated Resident 4 was admitted
[DATE] with diagnoses including encephalopathy (a condition where the brain is not working properly due to
some damage or disease), and cerebrovascular disease (conditions that affect blood flow to the brain).A
review of Resident 4's MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident 4 was cognitively intact, dependent on staff
for toileting, personal hygiene, dressing, and bed mobility.A review of Resident 4's physician order dated
7/3/25 indicated Resident 4 had the capacity to make healthcare decisions.In a concurrent observation and
interview on 7/29/25 at 12:43 p.m., Resident 4 was awake and lying in bed. Resident 4 stated sometimes it
took 30 minutes for her call light to be answered. Resident 4 further stated it depends on how busy they are
out there.1c. A review of the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted [DATE] with diagnoses
including fracture of upper of right humerus (upper arm bone), dislocation of right shoulder joint (the head
of the upper arm bone comes out of the shoulder socket), and fall.A review of Resident 1's MDS dated
[DATE] indicated Resident 1 was cognitively intact, dependent on staff for bed mobility, and required
substantial/maximal assistance [staff does more than half of the effort] for toileting, upper and lower body
dressing, and personal hygiene.In an interview on 7/29/25 at 2:12 p.m., Resident 1 stated at around 11:30
p.m. last night, she held and pressed the call light for assistance. Resident 1 further stated the staff ignored
her call light, and somebody finally came at 11:45 p.m.In an observation conducted on 7/29/25 at 1:47 p.m.,
there were multiple call lights unanswered in Hall 6.An interview was conducted on 7/29/25 at 3:27 p.m.

expectation was for call light to be answered in a timely manner. The DSD further stated anyone can
answer the call light, she told staff do not pass the light, ask resident what they need. The DSD added that
timely manner meant that call light should be answered within 2 to 3 minutes.In an interview on 7/29/25 at
3:53 p.m., the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated 30 minutes was too long for residents to wait for
the call light to be answered. The best practice was for staff to ask residents what they needed when they
see the call light was on.A review of the facility's policy and procedure revised 10/24/2024 and titled
Answering the Call Light indicated, The purpose of this procedure is to ensure timely responses to the
resident's requests and needs.If the resident needs assistance, indicate the approximate time it will take for
you to respond.If the resident's request requires another staff member, notify the individual.If you are
uncertain as to whether or not a request can be fulfilled, or if you cannot fulfill the resident's request, ask
the nurse supervisor for assistance.

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 ensure services provided meet professional
standards of quality for one of 4 sampled residents (Resident 1) when:1. Resident 1's order for the
immobilizer sling (a device used to restrict arm and shoulder movement to aid in the healing process after
an injury) was not followed; and2. Resident 1's order for supplemental oxygen was not followed and
updated according to residents' needs. These failures increased the risk for Resident 1 to experience
increased pain, worsening of injury and be given supplemental oxygen that was not needed. Findings:A
review of the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted [DATE] with diagnoses including
fracture of upper of right humerus (upper arm bone), dislocation of right shoulder joint (the head of the
upper arm bone comes out of the shoulder socket), and fall.A review of the Nurses Progress Note dated
7/16/25 indicated, New admit.alert and oriented x3-4.initially admitted to the hospital for a fall. Hospital
findings fx [fracture, broken bone] to right humerus (non-operative; med mgmt [medication management].
She has an immobilizer to right humerus and right hand.responses are appropriate. has weakness to all
extremities. A review of Resident 1's physician orders dated 7/17/25 indicated:-an order for NWB [non
weight bearing] RUE [right upper extremity], Immobilizer sling on shoulder check.every shift; and,-an order
for Oxygen at 2L/min [liters per minute, unit of measurement] Via NC [nasal cannula- a small plastic tube,
which fits into the person's nostrils providing supplemental oxygen] continuously every shift. A review of
Resident 1's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for July indicated licensed nurses were signing both
the orders for the NWB RUE, immobilizer sling and the continuous oxygen since 7/17/25 through 7/29/25.A
concurrent observation and interview was conducted on 7/29/25 starting at 11:49 a.m. inside Resident 1's
room. Resident 1 was lying in bed with her head elevated with a pillow. Resident 1's right upper arm had a
band attached to a chest band. Resident 1 had no sling, and her wrist was off the wrist band. Resident 1
stated she did not feel good, and she was in pain. Resident 1 stated she had a fall at home and broke her
shoulder, she went to the hospital and there was no surgery done. Resident pointed to the immobilizer and
said, was not doing anything for her. There was an oxygen concentrator in the room near the resident's bed,
and it was not in use. In a concurrent interview and record review on 7/29/25 at 1:54 p.m. with Licensed
Nurse (LN), the LN stated Resident 1 used to receive oxygen. The LN further stated Resident 1 did not use
oxygen this morning. The LN reviewed Resident 1's electronic MAR and she confirmed she signed the
oxygen order. The LN stated the oxygen order should have been changed. A concurrent observation and
interview was conducted on 7/29/25 at 1:56 p.m. inside Resident 1's room with the LN. The LN confirmed
Resident 1 had no sling, the wrist was out of the immobilizer, and resident was not on oxygen. Resident 1
stated she only used oxygen 2 or 3 times. The LN stated Resident 1 was admitted with the immobilizer and
she asked the physical therapist if Resident 1 can have a sling and she was told Resident 1 would be
evaluated first. In an interview on 7/29/25 at 3:08 p.m., the Physical Therapist (PT) stated she checked on
Resident 1 and she confirmed Resident 1 had the immobilizer, she had no sling, and resident's wrist was
out of the loop.In an interview on 7/29/25 at 3:53 p.m., the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated her
expectation was for physician's order to be carried out. The ADON further stated if the order was signed, it
should be done. A review of the facility's policy and procedure effective 3/22/2022 and titled, Physician
Orders indicated, .Supplies/medications required to carry out the physician order will be ordered.
