1. For Resident 1, staff failed to answer the
resident's call light (device used by a patient to
signal his or her need for assistance from
professional staff) promptly.
This deficient practice had the potential for
Resident 2 and other residents not to receive
assistance promptly.
Findings:
A review of the face sheet (admission record)
indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the
facility on 1/9/17 and was readmitted on
6/24/17 with diagnoses including muscle
weakness, and unspecified cerebrovascular
accident (CVA, death of some brain cells due
to lack of oxygen).
A review of Resident 2's History and Physical,
dated 10/20/18, indicated the resident had the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set
([MDS] a resident assessment and care
screening tool), dated 1/9/18, indicated the
resident was cognitively (ability to think and
process information) was intact. The MDS
indicated Resident required extensive
assistance (resident involved in activities, staff
provide weight-bearing support) with oneperson assist for toilet use, personal
assistance, and limited assistance (resident
highly involved in activity; staff provide guided
maneuvering of limbs or other non-weightbearing assistance) for transfers.

to assist Resident 2 with activities of daily living
(ADLs) as needed, place the call light within
reach and attend to the resident's needs
promptly.
On 10/10/18 at 11:13 a.m., Resident 2 was
sitting in wheelchair awake. A concurrent
interview was conducted; Resident 2 stated
that staff in general during the evening shift
would take more than one hour to answer his
call light. Resident 2 stated that he needed
assistance in general for ADLs and that he was
able to tell the time by looking at his wristwatch.
During a telephone interview on 11/9/18 at 1:19
p.m., the facility's Director of Staff
Development 2 (DSD 2) stated that staff
needed to answer the call lights as soon as
possible to assist residents.
A review of the facility's undated policy and
procedure titled "Call Lights," indicated that the
facility required staff to monitor the call lights
and to make sure that call lights were
answered promptly, regardless of who was
assigned to each resident to assure residents
receive prompt assistance.

(v) Physician's, nurse's, and other licensed
professional's progress notes; and
(vi) Laboratory, radiology and other diagnostic
services reports as required under §483.50.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview, and record review, the
facility failed to accurately document in the
resident's medical record for one of two
sampled residents (Resident 1) as indicated in
the facility's policy and procedure.
Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) failed to
document episodes of Resident 1's bowel
movement (BM, an act of defecation) in the
C.N.A. Daily Charting Form.
This deficient practice resulted in missing
pertinent information in Resident 1's medical
record.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's Face Sheet
(admission record) indicated that resident was
admitted to the facility on 7/18/18 with
diagnoses including Type 2 diabetes, mellitus
(long term disorder that is characterized by
high blood sugar), and irritable bowel syndrome
(IBS - a mix of belly discomfort or pain and
trouble with bowel habits).
A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set
(MDS, a resident assessment and care
screening tool), dated 7/24/18, indicated that
Resident 1's cognitive (ability to think and
process information) was intact. The MDS
