F 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 5/6/23, at 10:24 am, R4 (alert and oriented) stated, I am the Resident Council [NAME] President. I have to wait a long time, and I mean like an hour, for my light to be answered because there is no help. At nighttime especially, you can hear a pin drop, because there is no one around. Recently, I did not fall, but they said I fell, but I slid off of the edge of my bed, but I did not get hurt. I was trying to get myself up. On 5/6/23, at 10:48 am, R2 (alert and oriented) stated, My call light was on earlier this morning for about an hour. They do not like coming in here because they do not like to put on gowns and gloves. I called them earlier this morning because I got my breakfast delivered while I was still sleeping, and I needed my oatmeal warmed up and I also needed cleaned up. I generally always have to wait for at least a half hour to an hour for them to answer my light. On 5/6/23, at 12:15 pm, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, I know we have had issues with call lights, but we have enough staff and there should be no reason that we cannot answer them faster than 30 minutes. I have been in-servicing them and tried to get the issue corrected. No staff should walk past an alarming call light. 145683 Page 2 of 2
