F 0919 Make sure that a working call system is available in each resident's bathroom and bathing area. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to be adequately equipped to allow residents to call for staff assistance through a communication system which relays the call directly to a staff member or to a centralized work area for 1 of 27 (Resident #1) observed for call lights.

(X4) ID PREFIX TAG SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES (Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0919 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Administrator's expectation was that every resident has a call light installed for his/her bed and have it within reach of the resident. Record review of the facility's maintenance log for the previous two months, without a date stamp, revealed one entry with a checkmark for the nurse's call light system to ensure it worked correctly. No other checkmarks were indicated for specific room numbers. Record review of the facility's call light policy titled Answering the Call Light, had a date of March 2021. The policy stated in the General Guidelines Section: 1. Upon admission and periodically as needed, explain, and demonstrate use of the call light to the resident. 2. Ask the resident to return the demonstration. 3. Explain to the resident that a call system is also located in his/her bathroom. 4. Be sure that the call light is plugged in and always functioning. 5. When the resident is in bed or confined to a chair be sure the call light is within easy reach of the resident. 6. Some residents may not be able to use their call light. Be sure you check these residents frequently. 7. Report all defective call lights to the nurse supervisor promptly.
