She said sitting beside the resident also allowed close observation of the resident's eating habits like if the residents were swallowing the food, if there was a problem in swallowing, if the resident was pocketing the food, if the residents were choking. She said the expectation was for all the staff to provide all the residents a dignified existence. She said she already initiated an in-service about dignity and would closely monitor the staffs' adherence to the policy. She said it did not matter if the residents were affected or not but still, the staff should be mindful and think that if they were in the residents' shoes, do they want others to see them exposed and to be assisted by somebody that was standing up.In an interview on 01/22/2026 at 8:57 AM, ADON B stated that the staff assisting a resident during mealtime should be sitting alongside the resident to provide dignity.

It was observed that the resident's call light was on the floor at the head of the bed. The resident said he used his call light, but it was nowhere to be found. Observation and interview on 01/20/2026 at 9:49 AM, ADON A stated call lights should always be within reach of the residents because that was how they called the staff if they needed something. He said without the call lights, the residents might be upset or might fall if they tried to do things by themselves. He went inside the resident's room and saw the call light on the floor.

The DON said the expectation was for the staff to scan the residents' room when they did their rounds and ensure the call lights were within reach of the residents before they leave the room. The DON said they already started an in-service about call light placement and would continually educate the staff about the importance of call lights for the residents. In an interview on 01/22/2026 at 9:27 AM, the Administrator stated that call lights should be within the reach of the residents at all times. He said for some residents, the call light was their sense of protection that if something happened to them, they would be able to call the staff for help. The Administrator said the residents might fall trying to get up to get what they needed. He said everybody was responsible in making sure the call lights were with the residents, whether the resident was independent or not. He said he would collaborate with the DON and the ADONs about the issue regarding call lights.Record review of facility's policy Call Light/Bell Policy/Procedure - Nursing Clinical revised May 2020 reflected POLICY: It is the policy of this facility to provide the resident a means of communication with nursing staff .PROCEDURES . 5.
