Residents Affected - Some During an interview completed on 12/3/24, at 10:38 a.m. Resident R8 stated at night sometimes they run short. Review of facility provided matrix dated 12/3/24, indicated current in-house census at 31. Review of facility provided Care Plan/Task listing report dated 12/4/24, indicated eleven residents require an assist of two for transfers. Seven residents requires an assist of two for bed mobility. During an interview completed on 12/3/24, at 2:50 p.m. upon asking the Director of Nursing (DON) what the expectation time frame is for staff is to answer call bells the DON stated, a reasonable time frame less than twenty minutes. During an interview completed on 12/4/24, at 8:55 a.m. upon asking the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) what is the expectation for answering call bells stated, based upon what is going on at that time, that is I would expect it to be answered. Upon asking for clarification concerning the extended call bell answer times on the facility provided device activity report the NHA responded You are looking at data that few places could provide, strapping it out. The majority are answered prompt, more than you would see anywhere else. The expectation is prompt call bell response, upon asking what he would consider as prompt, the NHA sated prompt would be a wide variety, I don ' t know how to answer that question. During an interview completed on 12/4/24, at 12:20 p.m. the DON stated after 7:00 p.m. it's the busy time for getting the residents to bed. I think they try to get in as soon as possible. Upon asking about Resident R2's son call bell response concerns the DON stated I'm in constant communication with the staff addressing his concerns (referring to Resident R 2's son) about call bells. I would expect that there is a lot of competing factors with the activities of daily living (ADLs) and nighttime care. We are transparent about concerns being recorded. The floor Resident R2 is on has a high number of resident's that require an assist of two. We are addressing our call bell times in general and in our quality assurance performance improvement (QAPI) plan, confirming that the facility failed to have sufficient nursing staff to provide nursing and related services to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of six of eight residents (Residents R2, R4, R5, R6, R7 and R8). 28 Pa.
