This failure had the potential to cause physical discomfort and emotional distress to Resident 1.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Findings:
Residents Affected - Few
During a record review of Resident 1's admission Record, printed 12/31/24, the admission Record indicated
Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in May 2024 with multiple diagnoses that included congestive heart
failure (a chronic condition where the heart can't pump blood efficiently) and type 2 diabetes (a long-term
disease in which the body cannot regulate the amount of sugar in the blood).
During a record review of Resident 1's Care Plan, dated 1/26/24, the Care Plan indicated Resident 1 had
decreased ability to perform self-care related to impaired activity tolerance, impaired balance/safety, pain
limiting function, weakness .
During an observation and interview on 12/27/24, at 9:00 a.m., with Resident 1, Resident 1's room was
located across the nurse's station. Resident 1's call light was within Resident 1's reach and located on the
right side of his bed. Resident 1 stated the facility was always slow to answer the call lights. Resident 1
stated there were multiple occasions that he had to call the front desk because no one responded to his
call light. Resident 1 stated the front desk paged the nursing staff assigned to him, but the nursing staff still
took a long time until they arrived. Resident 1 stated there were times that he had to wait for hours for a
CNA or a licensed nurse to assist him especially during the PM shift (3:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m.). Resident 1
stated the staff were just passing by even if his call light was on. Resident 1 stated he required staff's
assistance in his ADL care because he was a fall risk. Resident 1 stated he felt he was being neglected and
treated differently when the facility did not answer his call light promptly.
During an observation on 12/27/24, at 9:52 a.m., in Resident 1's room, Resident 1 pressed his call light
button. Resident 1's call light on indicator was lit inside Resident 1's room and at the nurse's station. A
beeping sound was also heard while Resident 1's call light was continuously on.
During an observation on 12/27/24, at 10:06 a.m., no staff entered the room to check on Resident 1.
Multiple staff were observed passing by Resident 1's room while the call light was on. A licensed nurse was
also observed stationed in the hallway, near Resident 1's room, working on the medication cart. The
licensed nurse did not respond to Resident 1's call light.
During an observation and interview on 12/27/24, at 10:12 a.m., with CNA 1, CNA 1 entered Resident 1's
room after 20 minutes had passed. CNA 1 stated she was assisting another resident. CNA 1 stated nobody
had informed her the call light was on in Resident 1's room. CNA 1 stated any staff from the facility could
answer the call light. CNA 1 stated it was important for the call lights to be answered promptly to assess the
residents' needs.
During a follow up interview on 12/27/24, at 10:36 a.m., with RN 1, RN 1 stated the call light for Resident 1
should be answered promptly to check on Resident 1's needs. RN 1 stated waiting for 20 minutes for a staff
to answer the call light was too long and could have been an emergency for Resident 1.
During an interview on 12/27/24, at 12:38 p.m., with the DON, the DON stated the facility call light policy
was to promptly check a resident when they pressed their call light button and not have a resident wait for
more than 15 minutes. The DON stated anybody from the facility's staff could respond to the call light. The
DON stated Resident 1 should not have to wait 20 minutes for nursing staff

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain a clean and sanitary
environment for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1) when Resident 1 ' s room had:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Uncovered trash bin which contained an overflow of soiled diapers and dirty gloves.
2. Resident 1 ' s clothing stored in a mesh bag which was on the floor right next to the overflowing trash.
This deficient practice had the potential to cause an unsanitary environment and spread of infection.
Findings:
During a record review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record, printed on 12/31/24, the admission Record
indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in May 2024 with multiple diagnoses that included
congestive heart failure (a chronic condition where the heart can't pump blood efficiently) and type 2
diabetes (a long-term disease in which the body cannot regulate the amount of sugar in the blood).
During an observation and interview on 12/27/24, at 8:55 a.m., with Resident 1, Resident 1 was sitting on
his bed. Under Resident 1 ' s edge of the bed, there was a small trash bin with no covering which was
overflowing with soiled diapers and dirty gloves. Right next to the uncovered trash bin, a pair of dirty gloves
and a mesh bag with clothes inside were found on the floor. Resident 1 stated the mesh bag contained his
dirty laundry. Resident 1 stated he did not know his laundry was still there because he had asked his
Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) from the previous shift to take it to the laundry. Resident 1 stated he did not
know the uncovered trash bin was placed under the edge of his bed. Resident 1 stated it made him sick to
his stomach to know that the trash bin with overflowing soiled diapers was close to his bed. Resident 1
stated he felt upset because the facility was not following the procedure in maintaining proper sanitary and
clean rooms.
During an interview on 12/27/24, at 9:40 a.m., with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated the uncovered overflowing trash
with soiled diapers and the clothes in a mesh bag were already present when she arrived. CNA 1 stated the
CNAs from the previous shift must have left them in Resident 1 ' s room. CNA 1 stated the trash bin should
not have been left exposed and overflowing. CNA 1 stated the trash with soiled diapers should have been
disposed of immediately after providing care to Resident 1. CNA 1 further stated Resident 1 ' s clothes in a
mesh bag should have been placed in a plastic bag and brought to the laundry room. CNA 1 stated
exposed and overflowing trash with soiled diapers and laundry with no plastic covering on the floor could
cause the spread of infection.
During an interview on 12/27/24, at 12:34 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
CNAs were responsible for making sure the rooms were clean and sanitary. The DON stated the CNA who
was assigned to Resident 1 should have thrown away the bag of trash with soiled diapers before leaving
Resident 1 ' s room. The DON stated the CNAs should have placed Resident 1 ' s laundry in a plastic bag
instead of leaving it on the floor. The DON stated these practices had risk of infection.
