Administrator stated the call light system has been out approximately 2 or 2.5 weeks. Administrator stated that the system has not been fixed yet because parts are on back order. Administrator stated that the fire panel was giving an error. Administrator stated that the vendor was contacted by the maintenance man and the vendor did a reset on the call system. Administrator stated that when the maintenance man checked the resident rooms they were not working. Administrator stated that the vendor stated that the best determination that they could come up with is that it may be a power surge. Administrator stated that an order has been placed to replace the base to the call light system, but the parts are on back order and might be here on 05/05/2023. Administrator stated that is not a guarantee. Administrator stated that for the rooms that were affected, the staff has been doing 30 minutes rounds for the 21 rooms. Administrator stated that the resident's seem okay with the small ball bells and the plastic whistles. Administrator stated that the residents that were affected by the call light system have the option to move to another room.

Administrator stated that for the intake with Resident #6 having a fall had suffered no injuries. Administrator stated that she would have to look at the notes but does not believe that it was due to not having the call light system not working.

Maintenance Supervisor stated that he reset it and then the system showed a yellow light and gave a trouble code. Maintenance Supervisor stated that he reset it again and at that time it was good. Maintenance Supervisor stated that he went to all the rooms and started to check and realized that they were not working. Maintenance Supervisor stated that he called the vendor for electrical work to come look at the system. Maintenance Supervisor stated that the vendor was not able to go look at it until the next day on 04/13/2023. Maintenance Supervisor stated that he was not sure if the system had a short of what the problem was. Maintenance Supervisor stated that the vendor was at the facility on 04/06/2023 for another situation and he is thinking that this was a result of the vendor doing something that made this happen. Maintenance Supervisor stated that the call light system was working on 04/06/2023 and thereafter until 04/12/2023 when it started to malfunction. Maintenance Supervisor stated that he has contacted the vendor every other day and was told that it should be fixed on Friday 05/05/2023. Maintenance Supervisor stated he is not positive if it will definitely be fixed on Friday or not because the parts were on back order. Maintenance Supervisor stated that this is the only place that carries the part because the system is so old. Maintenance Supervisor stated that the day that the call system malfunctioned he reached out to the charge nurse and told her to go ahead and start 30-minute rounds.

ADON stated that she guesses it just depends on how well someone could hear. ADON stated that she does not think that is an effective way to call for help because the staff don't really know where the noise is coming from.

F 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some pm. Administrator stated the parts are on back order and had to get the parts from the vendor because they are the only place to get the parts. Administrator stated that it is an older system, and this is the only place to get the parts. Administrator stated that she had gotten the small bells when the call light system went out but quickly realized that you could not hear the small bells. Administrator stated that she went and got the plastic whistles and then she realized that the whistles were not loud, she went out and got better whistles. Administrator stated that she did not assess every resident with their health issues and if they had the capability of using the whistle. Administrator stated that the staff would be able to see if a resident had fallen or were in respiratory distress when the staff the made their 30-minute rounds. Administrator stated that is why she gave the residents bells so they could notify the staff. Administrator stated that she did notify the corporate and they had told her if they can help in any way to let them know. Administrator stated that corporate knew about the bells and whistles. Administrator stated that corporate had told her to make sure to do the 30-minute resident rounds. Administrator stated that she feels that the residents had an effective means of communication to get the help that they need. Administrator stated that the policy states that the facility must have a working call light system. Administrator stated that the way she monitors the 30 minutes rounds is because the staff will initial the paper indicating that they have made the rounds. Administrator stated that when they take resident's in they are accepting the responsibility to take care of their needs. When asked if it is possible that it could make the resident's feel helpless when they are not getting their needs met by answering the call lights? Administrator stated, yes, probably so. Interview with CNA C on 05/01/2023 at 4:18 pm. CNA C stated that she usually makes her rounds every two hours. CNA C stated that every 30-minute rounds are unreasonable and impossible because if they are changing a resident, it may take 15 to 20 minutes. CNA C stated that they usually have 2 to 3 CNAs for 6 halls, and it is impossible to do every 30-minute rounds for the 21 rooms that do not have call lights. CNA C stated she can hear the bells and it depends if she is able to find where the bells or whistles are coming from because there are 6 halls. CNA C stated that she does not feel that this is an effective method. CNA C stated that the facility needed to get a better method for the call system. CNA C stated that she is sure that some residents have gone without help because it is difficult to find where the noise is and there is no light so you can not see where it is coming from, you just have to kind of hunt for it. CNA C stated that some residents can not even use the whistles or bells or may get overly exhausted trying to use the bells or whistles. CNA C stated that the negative potential outcome for residents is that they may get injured or fall trying to help themselves because the can not call for help when they need it. Interview with CNA D on 05/01/2023 at 4:31 pm. CNA D stated that she makes her rounds approximately every two hours. CNA D stated that she has not been told or notified that she needs to be making 30-minute rounds for the residents that are without a call light. CNA D stated that she cannot hear the bells or the whistle, but she can sometimes hear the whistles. CNA D stated that it gets frustrating because she has to run around trying to find where the whistle is coming from and if the resident stops blowing the whistle, it is impossible to find which resident was using the whistle. CNA D stated that some of the residents cannot even use the whistle because of the oxygen and it is too much for them. CNA D stated that she does not think this method is effective because many residents are getting skipped because the staff cannot find where the whistle is coming from. CNA D stated that the call light system has been out for weeks and does not know how much longer it will be until it is fixed. CNA D stated that even with the call lights it takes some time to get to the resident because there is not many staff that are there to work, so can you imagine having no light and trying to hunt (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 455871 If continuation sheet Page 7 of 18 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 455871 B.

F 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some down a whistle sound when there is only 3 or 4 staff members that are trying to locate the resident needing help. CNA D stated that makes it impossible to do 30-minute rounds and that is beside trying to provide care for all residents. CNA D stated that the negative potential outcome for not having effective call light system would be that the resident is not getting the needed care they deserve, or they could get injured. Interview with DON on 05/01/2023 at 4:47 pm. DON stated that she can hear the bells and whistles at night. DON stated that she does not usually work nights, but she has from time to time. DON stated that in order to find where the bells and whistles are coming from, she would have to go look for where the noise is coming from. DON stated that she does not guess that would be an effective means of notifying staff that a resident needs help or for a long period of time. When asked if she is willing to work nights until the call light system Is fixed since she can hear the bells and whistles at night when the rest of the staff can not hear it, her response was that she is not willing to work every day until then. DON stated that she does not know other than getting cow bells what they can do. DON stated that the negative potential outcome for residents not being able to get staff attention when they need help is they could possibly get hurt or not get what they need taken care of. DON stated that she can not speak for her staff, but she can only speak for herself, and she believes that she could hear the whistles and bells. DON stated that the way that she monitors the staff making the 30-minute rounds is by checking the log to see if they have initialed the 30-minute round log. DON stated that the parts to fix the call light system are on back order and she does not know if that is the only vendor that is available for the parts or not. When asked why the staff have not made 30-minute rounds while Surveyor has been in the building, DON stated she was not sure why they have not done this. DON stated that the system that they have in place is effective when the staff can hear the whistles or bells and the staff work together and do what they need to do. The DON stated it is the responsibility of the facility to make sure to provide for the needs of the residents. Interview with Maintenance Supervisor on 05/01/2023 at 5:40 pm. Maintenance Supervisor stated that the open area in Resident #3's room should not have been exposed and open with wiring hanging out. Maintenance Supervisor stated that it should be fine though because the wiring is not hot. Maintenance Supervisor stated that there would be a potential for injury if the wiring was hot. When the Maintenance Supervisor was asked, Could one of the wires potentially poke the resident's finger if the resident was touching it? Maintenance Supervisor stated that that could possibly happen but why would a resident be messing with the wires even if it uncovered. Maintenance Supervisor stated that he is aware that he is responsible for coving the exposed wiring and opened wall. Maintenance Supervisor then questioned surveyor if she was talking with a resident that was his family member. Surveyor stated that information is confidential. Maintenance Supervisor got hostile verbally and ended the interview.

Maintenance Supervisor stated that he told the administrator and DON that this is an electrical issue because of the burnt wires and stated that an electrician needed to look at it. Maintenance Supervisor stated that he is not sure how it could a power surge because the weather is not bad. Interview with ADON on 05/01/2023 at 12:14 pm. ADON stated that she mainly works in the office, but she was aware that the call light system has stopped working and that the residents were supplied with small bell balls and whistles. ADON stated that she can only hear if the Residents are using the bells or whistles if she is close to the resident's rooms. ADON stated that she guesses it just depends on how well someone could hear. ADON stated that she does not think that is an effective way to call for help because the staff don't really know where the noise is coming from. Interview with Administrator on 05/01/2023 at 3:29 pm. Administrator stated the parts are on back order and had to get the parts from the vendor because they are the only place to get the parts. Administrator stated that it is an older system, and this is the only place to get the parts.

F 0919 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some bells when the call light system went out but quickly realized that you could not hear the small bells. Administrator stated that she went and got the plastic whistles and then she realized that the whistles were not loud, she went out and got better whistles. Administrator stated that she did not assess every resident with their health issues and if they had the capability of using the whistle. Administrator stated that the staff would be able to see if a resident had fallen or were in respiratory distress when the staff the made their 30-minute rounds. Administrator stated that is why she gave the residents bells so they could notify the staff. Administrator stated that she did notify the corporate and they had told her if they can help in any way to let them know. Administrator stated that corporate knew about the bells and whistles. Administrator stated that corporate had told her to make sure to do the 30-minute resident rounds. Administrator stated that she feels that the residents had an effective means of communication to get the help that they need. Administrator stated that the policy states that the facility must have a working call light system. Administrator stated that the way she monitors the 30 minutes rounds is because the staff will initial the paper indicating that they have made the rounds. Administrator stated that when they take resident's in, they are accepting the responsibility to take care of their needs. When asked if it was possible that it could make the resident's feel helpless when they are not getting their needs met by answering the call lights? Administrator stated, yes, probably so. Interview with CNA C on 05/01/2023 at 4:18 pm. CNA C stated that she usually makes her rounds every two hours. CNA C stated that every 30-minute rounds are unreasonable and impossible because if they are changing a resident, it may take 15 to 20 minutes. CNA C stated that they usually have 2 to 3 CNAs for 6 halls, and it is impossible to do every 30-minute rounds for the 21 rooms that do not have call lights. CNA C stated she can hear the bells and it depends if she is able to find where the bells or whistles are coming from because there are 6 halls. CNA C stated that she does not feel that this is an effective method. CNA C stated that the facility needed to get a better method for the call system. CNA C stated that she is sure that some residents have gone without help because it is difficult to find where the noise is and there is no light so you cannot see where it is coming from, you just have to kind of hunt for it. CNA C stated that some residents cannot even use the whistles or bells or may get overly exhausted trying to use the bells or whistles. CNA C stated that the negative potential outcome for residents is that they may get injured or fall trying to help themselves because the cannot call for help when they need it. Interview with CNA D on 05/01/2023 at 4:31 pm. CNA D stated that she makes her rounds approximately every two hours. CNA D stated that she has not been told or notified that she needs to be making 30-minute rounds for the residents that are without a call light. CNA D stated that she cannot hear the bells or the whistle, but she can sometimes hear the whistles. CNA D stated that it gets frustrating because she had to run around trying to find where the whistle is coming from and if the resident stops blowing the whistle, it is impossible to find which resident was using the whistle. CNA D stated that some of the residents cannot even use the whistle because of the oxygen and it is too much for them. CNA D stated that she does not think this method is effective because many residents are getting skipped because the staff cannot find where the whistle is coming from. CNA D stated that the call light system has been out for weeks and does not know how much longer it will be until it is fixed. CNA D stated that even with the call lights it takes some time to get to the resident because there is not many staff that are there to work, so can you imagine having no light and trying to hunt down a whistle sound when there is only 3 or 4 staff members that are trying to locate the resident needing help. CNA D stated that makes it impossible to do 30-minute rounds and that is beside trying to provide care for all residents.

F 0919 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some not having effective call light system would be that the resident is not getting the needed care they deserve, or they could get injured. Interview with DON on 05/01/2023 at 4:47 pm. DON stated that she can hear the bells and whistles at night. DON stated that she does not usually work nights, but she has from time to time. DON stated that in order to find where the bells and whistles are coming from, she would have to go look for where the noise was coming from. DON stated that she does not guess that would be an effective means of notifying staff that a resident needs help or for a long period of time. When asked if she is willing to work nights until the call light system Is fixed since she can hear the bells and whistles at night when the rest of the staff cannot hear it, her response was that she is not willing to work every day until then. DON stated that she does not know other than getting cow bells what they can do. DON stated that the negative potential outcome for residents not being able to get staff attention when they need help is they could possibly get hurt or not get what they need taken care of. DON stated that she cannot speak for her staff, but she can only speak for herself, and she believes that she could hear the whistles and bells. DON stated that the way that she monitors the staff making the 30-minute rounds is by checking the log to see if they have initialed the 30-minute round log. DON stated that the parts to fix the call light system are on back order and she does not know if that is the only vendor that is available for the parts or not. When asked why the staff have not made 30-minute rounds while Surveyor has been in the building, DON stated she was not sure why they have not done this. DON stated that the system that they have in place is effective when the staff can hear the whistles or bells and the staff work together and do what they need to do. The DON stated it is the responsibility of the facility to make sure to provide for the needs of the residents. Interview with Maintenance Supervisor on 05/01/2023 beginning at 5:40 pm. Maintenance Supervisor stated that the open area in Resident #3's room should not have been exposed and open with wiring hanging out. Maintenance Supervisor stated that it should be fine though because the wiring is not hot. Maintenance Supervisor stated that there would be a potential for injury if the wiring was hot. When the Maintenance Supervisor was asked, Could one of the wires potentially poke the resident's finger if the resident was touching it? Maintenance Supervisor stated that that could possibly happen but why would a resident be messing with the wires even if it uncovered. Maintenance Supervisor stated that he is aware that he is responsible for coving the exposed wiring and opened wall. Maintenance Supervisor then questioned surveyor if she was talking with a resident that was his family member. Surveyor stated that information was confidential. Maintenance Supervisor got hostile verbally and ended the interview.
