During an observation and interview on 10/02/2023 at 02:53 PM, revealed the call light did not light in the hallway when resident pushed her call light button. LVN G stated sometimes she had to jiggle and reset the restroom lights in order for the light in the hallway to work. During an interview on 10/05/2023 at 10:42 AM, LVN H, stated there should have been maintenance in the facility. She stated once they changed the overhead light chords out, they worked fine. She stated when the residents broke them, the staff would have placed the work order in the facility computer program for maintenance to review and repair. LVN H stated she had not ever followed up on how long it took for maintenance to repair the orders she had previously placed; she would resubmit the order if she saw that it had not been corrected. She stated, the staff, including herself had to troubleshoot the call light systems in a few rooms. She stated the scuffs and holes in the residents' walls were related to the beds rubbing on them and had been there at least a couple of months. An interview on 10/05/2023 at 11:08 AM, the ADM stated the staff had discussed why the call system was not fully engaging with the lights in the hallway outside the residents' rooms. She stated, when the residents told the staff their lights outside of their rooms had not worked, the staff would know to go troubleshoot and jiggle the wires where it was connected into the wall. The ADM stated that it was a random occurrence but was always fixable. She stated, when the facility had maintenance, the staff notified them. The ADM stated if it happened at night, their upper management was notified in a group message. She stated it was the CNAs and nurses that worked those hallways during the times the call light would not function correctly. She stated staff used a program on the computer to report issues that needed to be maintained, but the facility had been without maintenance for almost a month. The ADM stated once the incidents were reported and logged into their maintenance repair program, it should have been maintenance to follow up with those, with her as the ADM to monitor maintenance. She stated the facility protocols were for staff to have reported the repairs needed with maintenance prioritizing the needed repairs. The ADM stated she would not have liked living in those situations as it was not homelike. The ADM stated the negative impact to the residents was that the environment was not conducive and not beneficial to them. She stated if the call lights were not working, they could then have a possible behavior issue. She stated the failure for not having maintenance led to the failure, which delayed the process of not getting the repairs done. She stated she was not sure if the call lights could be repaired, as she believed it to be a wiring issue between the bathroom call light when used and the room call light. The ADM stated her expectations were for the facility to look nice for the residents with them feeling like it was their home and being felt taken care of.
