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 residents were provided with
reasonable accommodation of needs and preferences, including ensuring the call light was within reach to
request assistance, for one (Resident #1) of four residents reviewed for resident rights.The facility failed to
ensure Resident# 1 had the call light within reach.This failure placed Resident #1 at risk for unmet needs,
delayed assistance, increased fall risk, and potential injury.Findings included:Record review of Resident
#1's admission record dated 01/06/2026 revealed an [AGE] year-old male admitted [DATE].Record review
of Resident #1's History and Physical dated 02/27/2025 revealed an [AGE] year-old male diagnosed with
severe cognitive impairment (serious problems with memory and thinking), metabolic encephalopathy
(brain dysfunction caused by illness or chemical imbalance), subclinical hypothyroidism (mild underactive
thyroid), hypertension (high blood pressure), hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), orthostatic hypotension
(drop in blood pressure when standing), urinary tract infection (infection of the bladder or urinary system),
benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate causing difficulty urinating), unsteadiness on feet (balance
problems), repeated falls (history of falling), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and malnutrition (not getting
enough nutrition).Record review of Resident #1's MDS Quarterly assessment dated [DATE] revealed a
BIMS score of 04, indicating severe cognitive impairment (significant problems with memory and thinking).
The assessment further revealed impaired communication and the need for extensive assistance with
transfers, toileting, and mobility. Section GG for Functional Abilities revealed Resident #1 required
substantial to maximal assistance with bed mobility, transfers, toileting hygiene, dressing, and personal
hygiene. The assessment further revealed Resident #1 had impaired balance and was a high fall
risk.Record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 12/19/2025 revealed problem areas including fall risk,
acute pain related to right femoral neck fracture, impaired communication, incontinence, risk for
dehydration, benign prostatic hyperplasia (a common condition in older men where the prostate grows
bigger and presses on the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body), and nutritional risk.
Interventions included reminding Resident #1 to use the call device and ensuring the call light was within
reach, keeping the bed in the lowest position, locking wheelchair brakes, monitoring for pain, and providing
a safe environment.In an observation and interview on 01/06/2026 at 11:10 AM, Resident #1 was lying in
bed, groomed and clean, with the room free of odors. The call light was observed hanging from the privacy
curtain toward the foot of the bed about six feet away from the resident, and was not within his reach. A fall
mat was present on the right side of the bed, and the bed was in the lowest position. Resident #1 stated
that if he needed assistance, he would press the call light to get help. The investigator asked if he could
reach the call light since it was hanging away from him, and he said he could not. Resident #1 said that if
he needed help and couldn't reach his call light, he would yell until a staff member went to see him and
help him.An interview on 01/06/2026 at 11:15 AM with CNA A revealed that call lights were

supposed to be within reach of all residents while in bed. CNA A stated that Resident #1's call light was not
within reach and was hanging from the privacy curtain. CNA A stated that if the resident could not reach the
call light, he could attempt to get up without assistance and sustain a fall which could result in injuries.An
interview on 01/06/2026 at 1:29 PM with the Administrator revealed that the call light should be placed
within reach of residents so they could request assistance. The Administrator stated that the call light
placement observed in Resident #1's room was not acceptable because Resident #1 would not be able to
reach it if he needed assistance, which could result in him getting up on his own, which could result in fall
related injuries. The Administrator stated that all staff were responsible for checking for call light placement
when they conducted their rounds every two hours.An interview on 01/06/2026 at 1:56 PM with Hospitality
Aide B revealed that call lights should be clipped to residents' clothing or bed sheets to ensure accessibility.
Hospitality Aide B stated that the call light in Resident #1's room was not accessible since it was clipped on
the privacy curtain away from the resident's reach, and stated that in case of an emergency or if the
resident needed assistance, he would not be able to call for help which could result in the resident falling
and getting injured.An interview on 01/06/2026 at 1:59 PM, with RN C revealed that the resident was a high
fall risk and required significant assistance with transfers. RN C confirmed that the call light was expected to
always be within reach, and stated that the call light placement observed on 01/06/2026 was not
acceptable since the resident would not be able to reach it to ask for help. RN C stated this could result in
delays of care for the resident, and if he sustained a fall, he would not be able to call for help.In an interview
on 01/06/2026 at 2:24 PM with the DON, she stated that the resident previously fell on [DATE], and that fall
precautions were implemented, including placing the call light within reach of the resident, a low bed, and
fall mat. The DON confirmed that it was not acceptable for the call light to be hanging from the privacy
curtain and out of reach. The DON stated that if Resident #1 attempted to get up without assistance, he
could sustain a fall and injury.An interview on 01/06/2026 at 2:43 PM with CNA D revealed that call lights
needed to always be within reach of the residents. CNA D stated that improper placement could result in
the resident not being able to request assistance and could lead to accidents if the resident got up from bed
on his own and sustained a fall by not being able to call for help.Review of the facility's policies and
procedures provided, included the policy titled Call System, Resident, revised in September 2022, did not
