were coming in and shutting the light, but not doing anything. Resident R9 stated, Sometimes I wait a long
time for help, especially at night. Last night I didn't get to bed until 11 o'clock, because the 3-11 was agency

call light response times. Review of the Resident Council minutes from 8/27/25, indicated that the group
