Residents Affected - Few The findings included: On 2/21/24 11:16 a.m., in an interview Resident #3 said the facility could definitely use more help. She said she didn't know what happened or if people call off, but it puts a lot of stress and strain on the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA). She said the prior evening around 7:00 p.m., she waited around 45 minutes for someone to answer the call light. She finally rolled herself out into the hallway to find help. She said it has become continuously worse since she arrived. Resident #3 said she was incontinent and was trying to train her bladder and bowel. She said she would prefer to use the bathroom more often to assist with that. On 2/21/24 a call light was observed on in hallway at 11:00 a.m. in Resident #4's room. On 2/21/24 at 11:20 a.m., the light was still on and no one had responded to the call light. On 2/21/24 at 11:20 a.m., Resident #4 said someone had come in a while ago and said they would find the aide assigned to her to help. She said she had been told not to go to the bathroom by herself so she had to wait. On 2/21/24 at 11:25 a.m., CNA Staff A, and CNA Staff B were observed walking by Resident #4's room. They did not respond to the light. On 2/21/24 at 11:30 a.m., the Speech Therapist entered the room to work with Resident #4's roommate, and assisted her to the bathroom. On 2/21/24 at 12:36 p.m., Resident #4 said she usually has to wait 15 to 20 minutes for help. Resident #4 said she only needs one person to assist her in the bathroom and the first person who came in the room could have helped her. On 2/22/24 at 9:30 a.m., Resident #10 (Resident Council President ) said staffing had been discussed in Resident Council. She said there had been a period where they would hit the call bell and they would cut it off at the desk and not respond.
