F 0919 Make sure that a working call system is available in each resident's bathroom and bathing area. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to repair and maintain a functional resident call light system (the means of communication between residents and staff) in residents' rooms, bathrooms, and shower rooms for a period of four months. The facility had 14 of 26 sampled residents with identified malfunctioning call lights (Residents 4, 5, 6, 9, 8, 11, 13, 15, 1, 3, 14, 12, 10, and 7), an alternative interim call bell (commonly known as service/reception bell) system/ process was not utilized, and residents had no means of calling for assistance. Residents Affected - Some Additionally, 6 of 18 identified cognitively or physically impaired sampled residents (Residents 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21) who were incapable of using the call system, did not have an alternate communication system in place in order to have their needs met. Two of two shower rooms (Shower rooms [ROOM NUMBERS]) and four resident bathrooms which included Room A (Residents 27 and 28), Room B (Resident 31), Room C (Resident 11), and Room D (Residents 2 and 13) had no working call system. Finally, the facility did not have a signed contract or determined start date for a call light system replacement. These multiple failures resulted in residents not being able to efficiently communicate their needs and placed residents at risk for serious harm, up to and including death, by not being able to call for staff in an emergency. It was determined that this constituted an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ- a situation in which a facility's actions places one or more residents in jeopardy of being significantly harmed up to the point of potential for death to occur if not corrected immediately) situation. The Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and Nurse Consultant were verbally notified of the IJ on 4/28/23 at 3:01 p.m., and the Administrator (ADM) was verbally informed of the IJ on 4/28/23 at 3:08 p.m. Through observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility showed they initiated the plan of action by securing a contract to replace the facility's malfunctioning call system, with installation beginning on 5/8/23. The facility provided call bells to all affected residents, including in their bathrooms, with instructions on the use of. Baby monitors were deployed to residents incapable of using the interim bell system and were added to both shower rooms. Documentation of staff training; and updated resident care plans were done with focus on individualizing for their specific call light communication needs. The IJ was removed onsite on 5/2/23, at 12:40 p.m. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/28/23, at 9:11 a.m., with Certified Nurse (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
