Pushing the call light button revealed no light or sound went on above the door, in the hall, or at the nursing station to notify staff the call light was used. The resident had no handbell or other alternate means of ringing for assistance. On entry to the room, the door was closed and the television was turned up to a loud volume.

She said the call lights were silent, but were supposed to activate the lights above the doors and in central hallways positions so staff could see someone needed help. They were also supposed to activate STNA pagers. Observation at the time of the above interview revealed Resident #2's call light did not activate STNA #502's pager. Interview with Registered Nurse #503 on 01/18/23 at 9:55 A.M. revealed LPN #501 contacted maintenance regarding the broken call light, who said they would need to send out a service call.
