F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 4.) R14 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of Other Specified Arthritis, Left Shoulder, and Other Muscle Spasm. On 6/14/23 at 12:41 PM, R14 was observed in room, lying in bed, alert, oriented and verbal. Her call light was at bedside and within her reach. R14 was asked if she must wait longer time for staff to come to her room when she pushed her call light. R14 replied, Sometimes staff come to my room when I pushed the call light but a lot of times they don't. I waited and waited for an hour or more. It depends on who the CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant) is assigned to me. R14's MDS dated [DATE] indicated a BIMS score of 9 which means moderately impaired cognition. On 06/14/23 at 12:57 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) was asked regarding call light response time. V2 replied, All staff is responsible to respond to call lights. It should be responded within 5-10 minutes, the acceptable time because some staff or CNAs are still assisting other residents. I expect that anybody who could see the call light on, it should be responded. Even when staff is walking the hallway, call light should be responded in a timely manner. Facility's policy titled Call Light Policy revised date 7/27/22 stated in part but not limited to the following: Policy Statement: It is the policy of this facility to ensure that there is prompt response to the resident's call for assistance.
