Every resident should have the peace of mind knowing that they can summon assistance regardless of their physical limitations. Each call bell is to be strategically located so that it is within the reach of the resident whether lying on their bed or sitting in a chair in their room. Pressure sensitive call bells are available for those residents who have limited dexterity and cannot push the call bell button. An annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's care needs and abilities) for Resident 50, dated January 7, 2026, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact, required assistance with care needs, had a fall since his prior assessment, and had a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. A fall risk care plan for Resident 50, dated March 2, 2022, indicated that the resident was at risk for falls due to his impaired vision and had an intervention to keep his call bell in reach to encourage him to use it for assistance. Observation of Resident 50 on February 2, 2026, at 11:23 a.m. revealed that the resident was lying in his bed and his call bell was hanging across his bedside dresser to the left of the resident and behind the resident not within the resident's reach.
