Good Samaritan Bloomfield: Care Plan Failures - NE
That was not the worst of it.
On the night of October 28, one aide worked the overnight shift alone for eight hours. A second aide came in for four of those hours and then left. The facility's standard for that shift is two CNAs. On November 2, a single aide covered the early evening, and one aide covered the overnight. Again, two were required.
Inspectors reviewed the nursing schedule from October 22 through November 5 and found the pattern repeated across multiple shifts and multiple days. On October 22, three aides worked the morning shift when four were required. On October 29, same thing.
The call light data from November 5 told the rest of the story. On that day alone, call lights went unanswered within the facility's 15-minute window 14 separate times. The delays ranged from 16 minutes to 40 minutes.
The Director of Nursing, interviewed by inspectors on November 24, confirmed both facts without dispute: the 15-minute response standard was the facility's own policy, and call lights had not been answered on time. In a separate interview that afternoon, the DON confirmed what the staffing numbers on paper already showed — that the scheduled CNAs had fallen short of required levels across multiple shifts.
Inspectors rated the harm as minimal or potential. For a resident waiting 40 minutes to have a call light answered, that distinction is largely administrative.
