or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure 1 of 6 residents (Resident

The facility failed to ensure Resident #5 could make her needs known, due to the call light being out of her
reach and her inability to use the call light, without assistance.
This deficient practice put Resident #5 at risk due to inability to obtain assistance.
Findings were:
Review of Resident #5's medical face sheet, not dated, revealed she admitted to facility on 10/27/2021, with
diagnoses including, hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, Constipation, Hypokalemia, Pain-Unspecified,
Unspecified Symbolic Dysfunctions, Cognitive Communication Deficit, Other Symbolic Dysfunctions,

with personal care, and urinary tract infection.
Review of a quarterly MDS August 31, 2023, revealed Resident #5's Brief Interview Mental Status (BIMS)
score was a 7, which indicated severe impaired cognition.
Review of Resident #5's Care Plan on 10/20/2023, revealed HIGH FALL RISK: Instruct resident to call for
help before getting out of bed or chair, demonstrated the use of call light for resident, keep call light in reach
at all times, visible to resident, and the resident is informed of its location and use. Date Initiated:
11/25/2022 and Revision on: 08/11/2023.
During an observation on 10/20/23 at 1:53 p.m. Resident #5 is in bed uncomfortable and moaning. The call
light was located in the floor, under the resident's bed, and not within her reach. Resident did not respond to
any questions and was unable to verbally communicate her needs, during this observation.
Interview on 10/20/2023 at 5:15 p.m, with the DON states the resident has had a change of condition in the
last couple days and probably cannot push the call light at this time. The DON stated there were other
forms of alert systems that could be used by the resident, but acknowledged the resident had only been
provided a regular call light, while in the facility.
