**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to treat each resident with respect and dignity and provide
care in a manner that promoted maintenance or enhancement of his or her quality of life for 1 of 5 residents
reviewed for resident rights. (Resident #1)
The facility failed to ensure staff assisted Resident #1 when answering his call light by turning his call light
off and not returning to provide assistance.
This failure could place residents at risk for decreased quality of life, decreased self-esteem and increase
anxiety.
Findings included:
Record review of an undated face sheet indicated Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with the diagnoses of quadriplegia (the paralysis of both arms and legs due to various
conditions, such as spinal cord injury, stroke, or cerebral palsy), anxiety, and seizures (uncontrolled
electrical disturbance in the brain which can cause changes in behavior, movements, feelings, and
consciousness).
Record review of the significant change MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #1 had a BIMS
of 14, which indicated his cognition was intact. Resident #1 required set up assistance for eating and oral
hygiene and was dependent for staff for bed mobility and transfers.
Record review of a care plan dated 09/12/2022 titled ADL assistance indicated Resident #1 had an ADL
self-deficit related to quadriplegia. The intervention for Resident #1 revealed the staff was to encourage the
resident to use his call light for assistance with ADLs.
During an interview on 07/29/2024 at 1:00 p.m., Resident #1 stated he had a concern with the number of
times the staff will come into the room and turn his call light off and tell him they would return and not
return. He stated it happens nearly daily but had started to be a routine around the 1st of the year and he
had made a grievance with the Administrator about these occurrences. He stated the CNA that did it daily
quit working at the facility a few months back, but there was still CNAs that turned his light off and did not
return. He stated he gave them time once they turned his light off before he turned it back on, but often they
would come back in and turn it off again and walk out. He stated he would need anything from ice to be
turned or a light turned on or off and they would not return to help him. He stated it made him feel angry
and disrespected when his light was turned off and he had to wait on a different person to assist him with
his needs.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Residents Affected - Few
During a record review of a grievance dated 01/21/2024 it was noted that Resident #1 complained to the
Administrator that around 3:00 a.m., he turned his call light on to be turned, get some ice water, and have
his colostomy bag changed. He stated CNA B came into his room, asked him what he needed, turned the
light off and said she would be back in a little while. The grievance revealed CNA B was interviewed by the
Administrator and agreed she had turned the call light off without helping the resident and did not return to
the resident's room before leaving the facility at the end of her shift around 6:00 a.m.
During an interview on 07/31/2024 at 10:00 a.m., CNA B stated she remembered the incident in which she
turned Resident #1's light off without helping him. She stated she had not turned his light off and not
returned often, but it was difficult sometimes to find another CNA to assist with his care. She stated she
never asked any of the nurses to assist her with Resident #1 because they were busy with their own work.
She stated she was disciplined by the Administrator for leaving Resident #1's room without providing care.
She stated not providing care for Resident #1 only occurred once or twice that she could recall.
During an interview on 07/31/2024 at 11:15 a.m., LVN A stated she remembered CNA B leaving Resident
#1 without providing care and assistance before leaving for the day. She stated she remembered because
the Administrator questioned her about it and asked her why she had not helped with his care. She stated
she was never made aware by CNA B that she needed assistance with Resident #1. She stated Resident
#1 was a difficult resident that was very time consuming to assist. She stated she ended up answering his
call light around 6:00 a.m. and attended to all his needs at that time but he was upset and stated he was
tired of people turning his light off and leaving him unattended.
During an interview on 07/31/2024 at 3:00 p.m., the Administrator was not aware of the details of the
incident in which CNA B left Resident #1 without attending to his needs. She stated she was not the
administrator at the time this occurred. She stated it was the responsibility of the staff to answer the call
lights and to attend to the resident as quickly as they can. She stated the staff was to keep the call light on
until the needs of the resident were met. The Administrator stated it was the responsibility of the DON and
Administrator to ensure the needs of the residents were met by the staff assigned to care for them. She
stated this was monitored by morning rounds and the grievance process.
