Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, observation and interview the facility failed to ensure that call bells are placed within reach of residents for 2 of 15 residents (R3 and R25) reviewed for call lights in a sample of 34.
Residents Affected - Few The Findings Include: 1. R25's admission record documents an admission date of 1/27/20. This record also lists medical diagnosis that include: paralytic gait, anxiety disorder, contracture of the left and right hand and hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side. R25's Quarterly Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE] documents that R25's Brief Interview for Mental Status score is a 9 indicating he has a moderate impairment of cognition. This same document in Section G indicates that R25 requires extensive assistance of two persons for: bed mobility, transfers, toilet use, persona hygiene, and dressing. On 10/17/23 at 10:30 AM, R25 was observed in bed watching television and his call bell was over on a bedside dresser not within reach. When asked how he notifies staff of his needs, R25 stated that the call lights don't work and that 'little bell' is of no use that far away. R25 stated that he will just have to yell when he needs something, and that happens frequently because they forget to move the bell close to him. 2. On 10/19/23 at 10:35 AM, R3 was observed lying in bed, sleeping, rolled on her side, with the side of face in direct contact with the partial side rail. R3's call light button was observed in her reach, attached to the partial side rail. A bell was also observed on her bedside table, which was out of R3's reach. R3's call light was pushed by surveyor, attempting to be activated, with no light illuminating in the hall above the resident's door or sounding. Staff were observed walking by the room for 5 minutes as evidence by watching a clock and continuous observation, with none stopping to assist R3 away from the rail. On 10/19/23 at 10:48 AM, R3 was observed as being repositioned in bed, still sleeping, with her face off of the bed rail. R3's call light button as well as the bell were observed out of her reach. On 10/19/23 at 10:58 AM, V1 (Administrator) confirms that R3's call light was not functioning and the bell was out of her reach. V1 acknowledges that R3's cognition is not such that she could potentially utilize a call light consistently, but despite a resident's cognition status, a functioning call system should be available for resident use. V1 stated that she would expect staff to check on R3 more frequently due to her low cognition to ensure her well being. Review of R3's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documented as Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 7, indicating she is cognitively impaired. Review of this same MDS documents in section G0110 for bed mobility that R3 requires extensive assistance of 2 plus persons physical assistance. Review of the facility policy titled, Policy & Procedure Resident Call Bells with a revised date of 11/5/20 documents, .5. If a resident is unable to utilize the communication system, it should still remain within reach of resident however staff will check resident at an increased frequency which will be based on nursing's assessment of the residents needs.
