He said that it took very long on the evening and night shift to get the call light answered. He said when they did come in, they scolded him about turning on his light too much. He said they had told him they would take the call light away if he turned it on so much. Resident #19 said that they had taken it away in the past and he had had to yell out to get someone to come into his room. Then when they did come in, they said if he didn't stop yelling, they would put him over there. He said he was blind, so he didn't know what they meant by over there. Resident #19 said the kind of behavior from the CNA staff made him afraid. He also said the night CNA would not empty his urinal and he ended up spilling it when he tried to use it again. He said he was helpless in the bed and he couldn't do much for himself. He said that he had reported this to the nursing management and his wife. On 4/5/21 at 1:40 p.m., in an interview Resident #19's wife said her husband had told her that when he put his light on the staff did not come for a long time.

So, when the resident tried to use it he spilt it on the bed and then had to lay in a wet bed until someone came and changed it. She said her husband reported this could be hours sometimes. She said she reported this to nursing management to investigate but did not feel it had been resolved yet.
