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.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 had a call light installed in his room so Resident #1 could
communicate to staff he needed assistance.
This failure put residents at risk of not receiving ADL assistance and medical attention when needed.
Findings include:

admission date of 10-25-2023. Resident #1 has a primary diagnosis of epilepsy, and secondary diagnosis
of gangrene (death of body tissue), sepsis, and acute respiratory failure.
Record Review of Resident #1's Care Plan dated 11-10-2023, indicated Resident #1 has impaired visual
function, has a seizure disorder, and is a fall risk. One of the Care Plan Interventions was Be sure my call
light is within reach and encourage me to use it for assistance as needed. The date this was initiated was
11/08/2023.

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.
