observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to a.) monitor the call light system and answer
call lights within a timely manner for two residents (R1, R5), b.) provide incontinence care for two (R5, R8)
residents, and c.) ensure one (R1) resident have access to their personal belongings. These failures affect
three residents in a sample of six residents reviewed. Findings include:1.) On 09/26/2025 at 1:20PM, R1
states when he pulls his call light string, it is connected to a light switch and the switch remains in the same
position when he activates his call light. R1 states it takes staff a long time to answer his call light, and he's
waited up to 30 minutes for someone to answer his call light. R1 states he was recently transferred to his
current room and his heart monitor was left in his old room. R1 states he informed V4 (Psychiatric
Rehabilitation Service Coordinator/PRSC) that he was missing his heart monitor, which looks like a cell
phone, and is black in color. R1 states V4 told him that she would go and look for his heart monitor, but V4
never returned or followed up with him about this matter.On 09/27/2025 at 11:16AM, V4 (Psychiatric
Rehabilitation Service Coordinator/PRSC) states she remembers R1 telling her about his missing heart
monitor about one to two days ago. V4 states she spoke to the nurse and CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant)
staff on the (XXX) floor and asked them the location of R1's belongings. V4 states she does not recall which
nurse or CNA she spoke with, but they were unaware of where R1's belongings were. V4 states she never
asked staff on the (YYY) floor the location of R1's belongings because she wanted the staff on the (XXX)
floor to go and find R1's belongings. V4 states when R1 experienced a room change, she expected the staff
to take all R1's belongings to his new room. V4 states she did not know that R1 had a heart monitor and
does not know what it looks like. V4 states she has not followed up with the matter of R1's missing heart

show that R1's personal items and clothing were inventoried upon admission on [DATE] or when R1 was
hospitalized on [DATE].During record review of R1's inventory sheet on 09/27/2025 at 10:42AM, the CNA
and nurse's name is not legible to read. Surveyor then asks V2 (DON) if he is aware of who completed and
signed R1's inventory sheet. V2 states the form is also not legible for him to read.2.) On 09/26/2025 at
1:05PM, R5 states about two weeks ago, he pressed his call because he was soiled and needed to have
his incontinence briefs changed. R5 states this incident occurred at approximately 4:00PM and facility is
terrible at answering the call lights during the 3:00PM to 11:00PM shift. R5 states he waited approximately
1.5 hours to have his incontinence briefs changed. R5 states by the time V5 (CNA) came to change his
incontinence briefs, he was already on the phone with the state agency reporting the incident.On
09/26/2025 at 2:04PM, surveyor exits the elevator and is located on the (YYY) floor of the facility and hears
an audible call light sound. At 2:06PM, surveyor located at the (YYY) floor nurses' station and observes that
R5's call light is illuminated. Surveyor observes V10 (CNA) sitting in a chair at the nurses' station facing the
call light system. V10 has her cell phone in her hand and observed looking down and scrolling on her
phone. Once V10 observes surveyor, V10 puts her phone away, gets up out of the chair, and begin walking
away from the nurses' station.On 09/27/2025 at 12:44PM, V5 (CNA) states about two weeks ago, he was
assigned to care for R5 during the 3:00PM to 11:00PM shift. V5 states R5 pressed his call light, and he
went to R5's room to see what R5 needed. V5 states R5 informed him that he was soiled and needed to be
changed. V5 states he told R5 he would be back to assist him soon. V5 states when he left R5's room, the
was approached by another colleague who informed him that it was his turn to monitor another resident for
1:1 monitoring. V5 states he made a mistake by not updating R5 because he forgot. V5 states after
performing his 1:1 monitoring for the other resident, he saw that R5's call light was illuminated. V5 states
when he went inside of R5's room, R5 was on the phone with the state agency and complained that he had
to wait 4 hours to be changed. V5 states R5 did not wait 4 hours to be changed and instead, only waited 1
hour to be changed. V5 states he apologized to R5 and then changed R5's incontinence briefs. 3.) On
09/26/2025 at 2:09PM, R8 observed sitting in a wheelchair in the (YYY) floor hallway wearing a gown. R8
states he has been asking staff to take him to the bathroom for the past 30 minutes and no one has taken
him yet. On 09/26/2025 at 2:11PM, V8 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) states it is unacceptable for a CNA
staff member to be using their cell phone and ignoring a resident's call light. V8 states even if a resident is
not assigned to a particular CNA, it is still everyone's responsibility to answer all resident's call lights. V8
states it's important to answer resident call light due to the potential of there being an emergency. V8 states
she was just made aware of R8 needing to use the restroom. Surveyor observes V8 (LPN) instruct V10
(CNA) to assist R8 to use the restroom. V10 is observed transporting R8 via wheelchair away from the
nurses' station. On 09/26/2025 at 2:19PM, V10 observed transporting R8 back to the nurse's station. R8
then states V10 never took him to the restroom and brought him right back to the nurse's station. R8 states
he still needs to use the restroom, otherwise he will urinate on himself.Facility policy undated, titled Call
Lights documents in part, It is the policy of the facility to have a system in place to allow the staff to respond
promptly to a resident's call for assistance. Procedure: 2. Call lights are to be answered promptly by staff
who see that the call light has been activated. 6. Answer the call light in a prompt, courteous manner;
turning off the call light upon entrance to the room. 7. NEVER TURN OFF A CALL LIGHT THEN FAIL TO

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that menus are followed when staff did
not use the appropriate utensil to serve/plate the food. This deficient practice has the potential to affect all
residents that receive meals from the kitchen.Findings include:On 9/28/2025 at 11:16 AM, V15 (Traveling
Chef Manager) said, yesterday I observed kitchen staff not following the menu. They were not using the
appropriate utensils to plate food. I told them that they must follow the menu and use the appropriate
utensils to plate food.On 9/28/2025 at 12:08 PM, R14 said, a lot of the times, the portions are small like
what you would feed to a toddler.On 9/28/2025 at 11:58 AM, R4 said food portions are small.On 9/28/2025
at 2:28 PM, R12 said food portions are small.On 9/28/2025 at 4:15 PM via telephone, V4 (Psychiatric
Rehabilitation Service Coordinator/PRSC) said, they (the residents) always complain about the food.
There's new staff in the kitchen. The portions look small, but I don't know.On 9/29/2025 at 12:25 PM via
telephone, V22 (Registered Dietitian) said, I have heard from residents that portions are small. It could be a
problem (if the appropriate utensils are not used to plate food). Residents may not get the proper nutrition
or protein. That could lead to residents not getting the right amount of calories and protein which could lead
to weight loss. 8/27/2025, Resident Council Meeting Minutes documents: residents requested larger portion
sizes.Policy related to plating of food requested, not received at time of survey.
