A call bell log for January 2026, for Resident 2 revealed that it took staff 19 minutes to respond to his call bell on January 1, 2026. It took staff 21 minutes to respond to his call bell on January 3; 27 minutes to respond on January 11; 19 minutes on January 26; 1 hour on January 27; 41 minutes on January 28; and 18 minutes on January 31, 2026.

Review of a grievance form for Resident 4 dated December 15, 2025, revealed that the resident stated that he was put into bed on Sunday at about 10:00 p.m. and no one checked on him until around 4:00 a.m. He tried calling the nurses station with his cellphone, but it just rang and rang. Then staff did come in and help him, and they told him they were short staffed. Review of a call bell log for Resident 4 dated December 14, 2025, through December 16, 2025, revealed that his call bell was activated on December 14, 2025, at 9:19:49 p.m. and the response time for that call out was one hour and 47 seconds. Interview with Resident 4 on February 3, 2026, at 3.24 p.m. revealed that on the evening of December 14, 2025, it took staff a long time to get him into bed after he made the request.
