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 adequately equip to allow residents to call for staff assistance through a communication system which relays the call directly to a staff member or to a centralized staff work area from each resident's bedside for 1 (Residents #35) of 6 residents reviewed for call lights.-Residents #35 did not have her call light within reach while she was in bed.This failure could lead to residents not being able to request and receive prompt medical care and result in injury and harm.Record review of Resident #35's face sheet dated 10/16/2025, she was a [AGE] year-old female originally admitted on [DATE] with medical diagnoses including vascular dementia, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, Alzheimer's Disease, hypertension, cognitive communication deficit and other abnormalities of gait and mobility.Record review of Resident #35's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], she had a BIMS score of 3 out of 15, indicating severe cognitive deficit related to memory and thinking. Resident #35 was coded for having a walker. Resident #35 required set-up/cleanup assistance with tasks such as toileting, oral hygiene and dressing, and mobility in bed.Record review of Resident #35's care plan dated 10/16/2025, she had an ADL self-care performance deficit r/t impaired mobility with resident requiring staff assistance for toileting, turning and re-positioning in bed as necessary. Resident #35 was at risk for falls r/t confusion, gait/balance problems with interventions including being sure the resident's call light was within reach and encouraging the resident to use it as needed, the resident needed prompt response to all requests for assistance. Observation and interview with Resident #35 on 10/14/2025 at 9:48am, revealed she was in bed and appeared well-groomed and in no distress. Resident #35 said staff took her call light out of her room a couple of days ago, and told her they removed it because she used it too much. The call light was observed on the floor in the middle of the room between two dressers, out of reach of the resident in bed. LVN M was called to the room, and she put on gloves and took the call light off the floor and gave it back to Resident #35 who wrapped it around her bedrail. LVN M said that she was the nurse for the hall on 10/14/2025 and had been at the facility for ten months. LVN M said everyone was responsible for putting call lights close to the residents. LVN M said Resident #35 was confused at baseline and did not use her call light, but the light should be near her. If residents did not have call lights nearby, then they could not call for help. LVM M said she would remind her aides to put call lights on beds. In an interview with the DON on 10/15/2025 at 3:33pm, she said that she did monthly in-services on call lights with staff. The DON said call lights should not be on the floor. If the lights were on the floor, residents would not be able to call for help and residents should always have access to staff. It was a safety concern so residents could tell staff what they needed. The DON said everyone was responsible for ensuring call lights were within residents' reach and to answer them. A call light policy was requested by email on 10/16/2025 at 9:36am with the DON who said the facility did not have a specific call light policy.
