I'm supposed to ask for help and wait for them to come after I use my call light, but it usually takes too long. There're times I've had an accident in my pants waiting for help to go to the bathroom. I feel like this happens constantly. It takes a really long time for someone to answer the call light at nighttime. I've waited several hours. They try to get to you during the day, but at times, you wait 30 to 45 minutes. They definitely need to schedule more nurses and CNAs. On 5/14/25 at 4:00 PM, R9 stated the facility is, short-staffed, with the, extra CNAs, listed on the daily schedules sent home.

R4's current Fall Prevention Care Plan documents the following: (R4) is at risk for falling and repeat falls related to spinal stenosis, generalized edema, history of falls, generalized muscle weakness accompanied by poor safety awareness. This same care plan documents the following fall prevention interventions in place: CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) will assist (R4) to the bathroom and back using a wheelchair; Staff will frequently check on (R4) and anticipate her needs.

It takes a really long time for someone to answer the call light at nighttime. I've waited several hours. They try to get to you during the day, but at times you wait 30 to 45 minutes.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide adequate staffing to deliver resident cares efficiently and in a timely manner. This failure has to potential to affect all 72 residents currently residing in the facility. Findings include: The Facility Assessment (reviewed 07/30/24) documents the following: The facility assessment must address or include the facility's resident population, including; but not limited to: Both the number of residents and the facility's resident capacity; The care required by the resident population considering the types of diseases, conditions, physical and cognitive disabilities, overall acuity, and other pertinent facts that are present within that population. The Facility Assessment goes on to document: The facility must have sufficient nursing staff with the appropriate competencies and skills sets to provide nursing and related services to assure resident safety and attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident, as determined by resident assessments and individual plans of care and considering the number, acuity and diagnoses of the facility's resident population in accordance with the facility assessment required by the (State agency). Daily Staff Assignment posting sheets dated April 15, 2025, through May 12, 2025 documented six CNAs/Certified Nursing Assistants are consistently scheduled to cover the Day shift (6:00 AM to 6:00 PM) and four CNAs are scheduled to cover the Night shift (6:00 PM to 6:00 AM) to carry out resident cares throughout the facility, with a resident census ranging from 72 to 76 residents during this time. The assignment postings included one Extra Aid on day shift and one Extra Aid on Night shift. These extra CNAs names were crossed out and these forms documented went home or sent home and the extra staff member was not to stay and work the shift. This practice consistently left six CNAs on the Day shift and four CNAs to cover the Night shift. The facility's Grievance Log, dated 2025, documents the following grievances filed: R9 reported a grievance on 3/27/25, documenting R9, Wants CNAs/Certified Nursing Assistants to round more and answer call lights faster.

The call light was also activated at the Nurses Station's call light indicator display board. At 2:19 PM, V3 (RN/Registered Nurse) verified R6's call light had been activated and went to R6's room to answer the call light. R6's call light went unanswered for 21 minutes, from 1:58 PM to 2:19 PM, when this surveyor notified V3, the RN on duty. On 05/13/25 at 10:08 AM, V9 CNA/Certified Nursing Assistant) stated the facility does not staff enough CNAs. V9 stated in the hall she is currently assigned, There are several residents that transfer with (full mechanical lifts) and two CNAs are required to be present when transferring, using a (full mechanical lift). There are three CNAs in this area. The middle CNA has to cover their area, and float to the other two areas to assist. There used to be four CNAs scheduled and they have cut the staffing numbers. I feel terrible because these residents have to wait, and sometimes it can be several minutes. We try our best, but there just isn't enough help.
