Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to provide a working communication system, that was easily at reach, that would allow Resident #102 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. Findings include: Review of the face sheet for Resident #102 reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included congestive heart failure (when your heart can't pump blood well enough to give your body a normal supply), chronic kidney disease (longstanding disease of the kidneys leading to renal failure), hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes mellitus type 2, unspecified visual loss, muscle wasting and atrophy (loss of muscle mass and strength, typically caused by a lack of physical activity, injury, malnutrition, or certain medical conditions, leading to a decrease in muscle size and function), difficulty walking, right femur fracture, and need for assistance with personal care.
