needs. R3 stated she pressed her call light around 4AM this morning on 06/01/2024 and the assigned CNA
(identified as V8) never came to answer R3's call light. R3 stated she was wringing wet and needed her
incontinence briefs to be changed. R3 stated V3 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) answered R3's call light
and informed R3 that V8 (CNA) left the facility at 6:00AM. R3 stated she currently has her call light on, and
it has been on for approximately one hour. R3 stated she pressed her call light because she must use the
bathroom to be toileted. Surveyor located inside R3's room and observed a red light blinking on R3's call
light system, no sound was audibly heard coming from the call light system. Outside of R3's room door a
white light illuminated above R3's room door.
On 06/01/2024 at 10:23AM, in the hallway on the three north unit R3's call light is observed still illuminated.
Surveyor observed V4 (CNA) walk past R3's room but not answer R3's call light. At 10:26AM, V4 observed
walking down the hallway past R3's room again and does not answer R3's call light.
On 06/01/2024 at 10:27AM, V4 observed answering R3's call light and stated there is no sound that rings
on the call light system, only the light illuminates.
On 06/01/2024 at 10:28AM, V5 (CNA) stated the facility's call light system does not have an audible sound
to alert staff that the resident's call light has been pressed. V5 stated there is only a light that illuminates
above the resident's room when it is pressed. V5 stated this system allows the staff to constantly round on
the residents to assist with resident's needs.
On 06/01/2024 at 12:24PM, V2 (DON) stated she has been working at the facility since February 2024. V2
stated she learned in the second week of working at the facility that there is no sound for the facility's call
light system. V2 stated there is only a light that illuminates when a resident presses their call light. V2 stated
the facility staff taught her that the staff's call light protocol is to walk looking up to see the call light. V2
stated this is how the call lights are set up at the facility. V2 stated everyone is responsible for answering
call lights even if they are not able to perform a specific task, they should answer the call light and refer the
resident's needs to the appropriate person. V2 stated when agency staff work at the facility, there is a
checklist that they sign off on acknowledging that the agency staff understands how the call light system
works. V2 stated it is not okay to walk past a resident's illuminated call light unless it is an emergency. V2
stated she has not received any complaints of call lights not being answered in a timely manner since the
end of February 2024. V2 stated nurses are allowed to administer medications one hour before and one
hour after the scheduled administration times.
On 06/02/2024 at 9:30PM, V7 (LPN) stated he was the nurse on duty on 05/31/2024 from 11PM-7AM on
the third floor of the facility for this shift. V7 stated he was responsible for caring for residents on the three
west unit and the three north unit. V7 stated there were two CNAs assigned on the third floor of the facility,
one CNA assigned to the west unit and one CNA assigned to the north unit. V7 stated V8 (CNA) is an
agency CNA whom he had never worked with before. V7 stated at the start of V8's shift, V8 informed V7
that V8 would be leaving the facility at 6AM in order to attend her next job. V7 stated he gave V8 her
assignment and V8 was initially receptive and cooperative with her assignment. V7 stated later in the shift,
V7 had a hard time locating V8 in the facility. V7 stated he observed V8 constantly on her phone during V8's
assigned shift. V7 stated V8 would disappear off the unit and he did not know where V8 was located
majority of the shift. V7 stated he observed multiple resident call lights illuminated throughout the shift. V7
stated he observed R1's call light illuminated also but he is unsure what R1's needs were because V7 did
not get a chance to answer R1's call light. V7 stated he is not sure if R1's incontinence briefs were changed
during the shift and could not answer R1's call light because V7 was administering medications to
residents. V7 stated on

06/01/2024 at approximately 3:30AM, V7 was performing his medication administration pass and observed
R7's call light illuminated. V7 stated he observed R7's call light illuminated for approximately 15 minutes. V7
stated this is the only facility he has ever worked for that has a silent call light system. V7 stated he does
not feel the facility's call light system is an effective call light system for resident needs.
V7 stated he then went to answer R7's call light and R7 stated he needed his incontinence briefs changed
and needed some water. V7 stated he went to the third floor dining room to get water for R7 and observed
V8 (CNA) sleeping in the dining room during her assigned shift. V7 stated when V4 (CNA) started her
assigned shift on 06/01/2024 at approximately 7AM, V4 informed V7 that R5 and R6 were not changed,
and their incontinence briefs were soiled. V7 stated once V8 left the facility at 6AM on 06/01/2024, no one
was assigned to resume care for residents residing on the three north unit. V7 stated he did the best he
could with answering resident call lights but V7 also had other nursing duties he was responsible for. V7
stated it is a problem if no one is assigned to care for residents and perform rounds on the residents
because residents could potentially fall or be in distress if not monitored and rounded on. V7 stated when
agency staff works at the facility, he encounters agency staff leaving the facility before their assigned shift is
completed. V7 stated this happens approximately once or twice a month. V7 stated he has not encountered
this behavior with regular staffing in the facility, only agency staff. V7 stated he has not informed anyone in
management about the above occurrences and only gives report to the on-coming nurse when he
completes his assigned shift.
