Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must
establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.
Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to resolve grievances related to response to call
lights in a timely manner for 4 (Residents #1, #4, #5, and #6) of 4 residents reviewed requiring assistance
with activities of daily living (ADLs).
The findings included:
Record review of the facility's Quality Assurance Service Recovery Trending Log provided by Social
Services revealed there had been six grievances filed in May 2023 related to timely call light response.
1. Record review of Resident #1's care plan indicated he was unable to self-toilet and required the
assistance of one. It also indicated he was at risk for falls as related to history of multiple falls related to
incontinence.
During an interview on 6/26/23 at 12:57 p.m., Resident #1 said when he uses his call bell, sometimes he
has to wait. He said he doesn't wear a watch, so he doesn't know how long but it was long enough to make
him wonder. He said he had a couple of falls trying to get to the bathroom when no one responded to his
call.
2. Record review of Resident #4's care plan indicated she requires extensive staff assistance with the
majority of ADLs. Record review of Resident council minutes for March of 2023 indicated Resident #4 had
voiced concerns regarding call bell response times.
During an interview on 6/26/23 at 1:00 p.m., Resident #4 said there are times you can wait up to an hour for
someone to respond to the call bell. She said the staff was running around doing a lot of work. She said it
was especially at night. She said she hadn't been incontinent from it, because she would get herself on the
toilet and then hope they come to get her off.
3. Record review of Resident #5's care plan indicated she had impaired toileting with decreased mobility,
strength, endurance, transfers, ambulation and balance.
During an interview on 6/26/23 at 2:03 p.m., Resident #5 said she has complained about call bell response
time. She said sometimes it was hours before someone came. She said she hadn't been incontinent due to
it because she holds it, but it was uncomfortable. She said nothing had improved since she complained.
4. Record review of Resident #6's care plan indicated she required extensive to total assist with

During an interview on 6/26/23 at 2:34 p.m., Resident #6 said she had complained about the call bell
response time. She said the previous month she waited two hours for someone to respond. She said
nothing had really improved and the previous evening she had to wait 45 minutes for someone to respond.
She said her skin was very sensitive and if she has to sit in urine, it irritated her skin, it gets very red and
feels raw.
Residents Affected - Few
On 6/26/23 at 1:30 p.m., the Administrator said their call bell system did not record response times. He said
he hadn't really had any complaints about response times.
On 6/26/23 at 1:39 p.m., the Risk Manager said Resident #5 had come to him with complaints about call
bell response time. She had told him she was waiting up to an hour. He said wait times should be no more
than 10 - 15 minutes tops and if people wait too long, he'd be afraid they will attempt to do things on their
own and could fall. He said there was no system in place to audit response times, so it was hard to gauge
it. Risk Manager said an hour was not acceptable. He said he had not seen the documentation about six
grievances in May about timely call bell response and said six grievances filed in May about response to
call bells was something he would look into for a pattern. He said he was a little concerned looking at it. He
said waiting one hour could be seen as neglect.
On 6/26/23 at 2:20 p.m., The Social Service Director said they read the grievances every morning in
morning meeting. She said the whole team is there: Administrator, Director of Nursing, Risk Management.
She said all grievances are discussed in Quality Assurance Performance Improvement meetings (QAPI),
and she does a whole breakdown of what's trending, what's not, what's getting better. She agreed that six
complaints in a month would indicate a trend. She provided the Social Services QAPI for May of 2023
which identified timely call lights for May as trending and said this was discussed in the QAPI meeting that
was held on June 14.
On 6/27/23 at 9:47 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) said she hasn't directly received any complaints
about call lights but does get it in the customer satisfaction surveys that it could be faster. She said she is
not aware of any audits or monitoring of call bell response time unless someone is doing their own type of
thing. She says she does go to morning meetings and the QAPI monthly and agrees grievances are
discussed in morning meeting. The DON Agreed six grievances in one month regarding timely call light
response was a lot, and hadn't realized it was that much.
