There were 185 residents residing at the facility at the time of the survey. Residents Affected - Some The findings included: During a family interview via telephone on 05/06/25 at 10:30 A, Resident #5's daughter revealed the telephone in her father's room has not been working for months; and wished she could call and talk to him more. During observation on 05/07/25 at 10:40 AM Resident #5 was observed lying in bed watching television, the telephone was observed on the side of resident. Further inspection of Resident #5's telephone revealed the telephone does not have a dial tone and did not work. Observation and inspection of 10 residents' telephones on the Two South Unit, One South and One North Unit, telephones were sampled. 4 out of the 10 residents whose telephones that were sampled did not work or had no dial tone. The four residents (Resident # 5, Resident #104, Resident #117 and Resident #133) whose telephones did not work were located on the Two South Unit. Review of the medical records for Resident #5 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Clinical diagnoses included but not limited to: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Record review of Resident #5 's Significant Change Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed: Section C for Cognitive Patterns documented Brief Interview for Mental Status Score is 05, on a 0-15 scale indicating the resident is cognitively impaired. Record review of Resident #5's Care Plans revealed the Resident has a self-care deficit and requires staff assistance to perform and complete ADL's secondary to poor safety awareness, impaired mobility, unsteady gait and balance, assistance required with toileting needs. Interview on 05/07/25 at 11:23 AM with Staff I, Registered Nurse (RN) revealed; The resident's telephone does not work but I will put in a maintenance request to fix it. The resident normally has his own cell phone. If a family member or friend calls to speak to a resident, if they press zero it will go to the operator. The operator will then transfer the call to the nursing station. Once the call is at the nursing station, we will transfer the call to the residents' room. There is also a portable phone at the nursing station for residents to use.

Per facility policy, every resident is provided with access to a phone unless they have declined its use. In shared rooms with three or four residents, phone access may be shared among them. To date, there have been no complaints regarding non-functional phones. When an issue is identified, the maintenance department is promptly notified to repair or replace the device as needed. Incoming calls are directed by the facility operator to the appropriate nursing station or nursing staff and then they would direct the call to the resident's room. Each nursing station is equipped with a portable phone accessible to both residents and nursing personnel for communication purposes. At an interview on 05/08/25 at 02:28 PM, the Maintenance Director revealed, I have served as the Director for four years, overseeing monthly operations. We ensure that any resident's telephones are promptly replaced, and if the issue lies with the phone line, we contact the service provider directly. Each floor maintains a dedicated maintenance log. We are actively working to resolve these issues by keeping a daily record of non-functioning phones and tracking the ones we've successfully repaired. Review of the facility policy and procedure regarding resident rights 03/01/21, states the resident has the right to have reasonable access to the use of a telephone where calls can be made without being overheard.
