Do not walk by. Turn off the call bell once needs are attended to and ensure it is within reach for the next use. Do not make the resident feel you are too busy to assist or respond.1. Record review revealed that Resident #70 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of Dysphagia following Cerebrovascular Disease and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The Medicare 5 Day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed that the Resident Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score was 08, which indicates moderate cognitive impairment. Section GG of the MDS showed that Resident #70 needs substantial/maximal assistance during toileting hygiene, shower/bath self and is dependent for toilet transfer.During an observation conducted on 12/15/25 at 11:45 AM Resident #70 was seen lying in bed sleeping with a right knee immobilizer on. At that time, Resident #70 woke up and said that she was going to have a bowel movement. Resident #70 used the call light, as suggested by the surveyor. It was noted that the call light was audible at the nurse's station and the light was turned on in the hallway located on top of the room door. During the observation, it was noted that multiple staff members passed by the room and did not respond to the call light. The surveyor went ahead and called a nurse to assist the resident. The nurse answered that she will call a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) because she is not a CNA. Resident #70 persistently called out to the surveyor in distress saying: Muchacha Por favor cambiame. This surveyor went back to the room from the hallway more than 6 times and asked multiple nurses for help. All the nurses' answers were that they are busy. Staff A, the Registered Nurse Supervisor came and explained that the designated CNA is busy with another resident, but she is trying to find another CNA. At 12:15 PM, the Director of Nursing came and entered the room trying to calm Resident #70. A CNA later came into the room to change the Resident at 12:25 PM.2. Record review revealed that Resident #110 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of Displaced Bicondylar fracture of left tibia and encounter for other orthopedic aftercare.

12:50 PM. Resident #110 expressed that she felt very uncomfortable and dirty.3.

Section GG of the MDS showed that Resident #99 is dependent for toileting hygiene, shower/bath self and toilet transfer is not attempted due to medical condition or safety concerns.During an interview, conducted on 12/15/25 at 12:35 PM, Resident #99 stated that her colonic drainage fell out this morning and that she had been sitting in her dirty brief for over an hour now. The resident pointed to a pair of scrubs on a chair and explained that she wanted to wear them but unfortunately, no one came to help her. Resident #99 was very upset and kept on repeating that she wanted to get changed because she was dirty. At 12:40 PM, the paramedics came with a stretcher to take Resident #99 to the hospital to replace her colonic drainage. Resident #99 was screaming that she did not want to go to the hospital with a dirty brief on and that she had been waiting for hours now to get changed. The paramedics left the room and stood outside. At 12:50 PM, staff members were seen entering the room and the nurse stated that Resident #99 was a very complicated resident.During an interview, conducted on 12/18/25 at 10:00 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that she has been working in the facility for 3 years now. She further explained that a resident having a bowel movement should be cleaned as soon as possible. And that waiting 30 minutes is not an acceptable time to be changed. The DON was made aware of Resident #99 and explained that the CNA had to finish two residents that had appointments and had to go to therapy prior to changing Resident #99. The DON added that the expectation for the call light is to be answered right away.During an interview, conducted on 12/18/25 at 10:15 AM with the Registered Nurse Supervisor, Staff A, she stated that she has been working in the facility for 4 years. She further stated that she works the morning shift: 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM and that she is the Unit Manager on both floors. Per surveyors' question, Staff A answered that when a resident has a bowel movement, the expectation is to call a CNA or provide immediate help. If a CNA is busy a nurse can change the resident or take the resident to the restroom. When a call light is on, a staff member should go to the residents within minutes and a 30-minute wait is not acceptable. Even if a nurse that is not assigned to the wing is aware the call light is on, they should answer the call light regardless. On the day of the incident (12/15/25) Staff A was present and acknowledged that Resident #70 waiting 40 minutes to be changed after having a bowel movement is not up to the facility's standard.During an interview, conducted on 12/18/25 at 10:30 AM with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA), Staff B, she stated that she has been working for the facility for 9 years. She further stated that she works the morning shift from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM and the days vary. Per surveyors' question, Staff B answered that the expectation when a resident has a bowel movement is to use the call light. Staff explained that if she is not busy, she responds to the resident right away but if she is with another resident she asks a nurse to assist the resident until she is done and can get to the resident. If she is busy with a resident and the call light of another resident comes on, the nurse must assist the resident for her because it's teamwork.During an interview, conducted on 12/18/25 at 11:10 AM with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA), Staff C, she stated that she has been working in the facility for 2 years and works the morning shift from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. She explained that once she sees the call light on, she has to go immediately to the room. Staff C further explained that if she is busy with a resident and she gets called because another resident is having a bowel movement, she will call another CNA to ask for help. She further explained that It is unacceptable for a resident to wait 30 to 40 minutes to get changed
