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 ensure each resident bedside and toilet and bathing facilities were adequately equipped to allow all residents to call for staff assistance through a communication system that would relay the call directly to a staff member or a centralized staff work area for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #20) reviewed for residents' call system. The facility failed to provide a working communication system that was easily at reach, that would allow Resident #20 the ability to safely call for staff for assistance. This failure could place residents at risk of not having a means of directly contacting caregivers in an emergency or when they needed support for daily living.Record review of Resident #20's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected Resident #20 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included Non-Alzheimer's Dementia (brain disorders causing cognitive decline), hypertension (elevated blood pressure), and anxiety (a normal feeling of worry or fear, but when excessive and persistent, it becomes an anxiety disorder, impacting daily life with symptoms like restlessness, rapid heart rate, trouble concentrating, and sleep issues, stemming from a mix of genetics and environment). Resident #20 had a BIMS score of 03 of 15, indicating severe cognitive impairment. Review of Resident #20's Comprehensive Care Plan date 11/26/25, reflected the following: Focus: The resident is risk for falls r/t impaired mobility. Goal: The resident will not experience falls or injuries from falls through the review date. Intervention/Tasks: Follow facility fall protocol. See care plans on Mobility, ADLs, Cognitive Deficit, Communication: Ensure/provide a safe environment: Call light in reach, Adequate low glare light, Bed in lowest position and wheels locked, Avoid isolation. An observation on 12/16/25 at 1:20 PM revealed Resident #20 was sleeping in bed, and the call light button was on the floor to the right side of the bed. During an observation and interview on 12/16/25 at 1:25 PM, CNA B entered Resident #20 located the call light cord and button in the floor. CNA B picked the call light button up and put it within Resident #20's reach. She stated the call light was on the floor, and not next to Resident #20. She stated the problem was she would not be able to call for help, and anything could happen to her. CNA B stated if she was incontinent, she could not call if she was having an emergency. In an interview with the DON on 12/18/25 at 12:45 PM revealed the expectation for call light placement was residents should always have the call light within reach, and the call light should be placed on the resident's dominant side. The DON stated it was the responsibility of all the staff members to make sure the call light was within residents' reach at all times. She stated the risk of residents not having had their call lights within reach was delayed care, and possible of fall and injury. In an interview on 12/18/25 at 1:13 PM, the Administrator stated her expectation was the call light button should always be within residents' reach clipped to residents' clothes or linen where they could reach it. She stated the risk was the resident could not call for help if he/she sustained a fall, and not having their needs met. Review of the facility's policy titled Resident Call light System revised September 2022 revealed Residents are provided with a means to call staff for assistance through a communication system that directly calls a staff member or a centralized workstation. Policy interpretation and implementation: 1. Each resident is provided with a means to call staff directly for assistance from his/her bed, from toileting/bathing facilities and from the floor.
