This affected three residents of 32 residents reviewed for call light placement. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1. Resident #55 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and major depressive disorder.
