Federal inspectors found Resident R151's call light had been activated for 25 minutes when they arrived at 11:27 a.m. on January 29. The resident told inspectors they needed their indwelling foley catheter adjusted because something was wrong with it.
The call light remained active for one more minute before finally being answered, reaching a total of 26 minutes.
RN Employee E7 confirmed the monitor at the nursing desk showed the extended response times of 22 minutes and 25 minutes for the same resident's call light.
The delayed response was part of broader staffing failures at Cranberry Place. The Director of Nursing admitted the facility failed to maintain sufficient nursing staff during the complaint investigation.
Inspectors documented understaffing problems across multiple areas. The facility fell short of staffing requirements for one of four quarters in federal staffing data. Staff shortages also affected two of three Resident Council meetings in November 2025 and January 2026.
During group meetings, six of seven residents reported staffing issues. The facility also failed to adequately address grievances in January 2026.
Five of ten residents observed by inspectors experienced problems related to insufficient nursing coverage, including Residents R41, R73, R76, R79, and R151.
The inspection occurred following a complaint about care at the facility. Federal regulations require nursing homes to provide adequate staffing to help residents maintain their highest level of physical and mental well-being.
For Resident R151, that meant waiting nearly half an hour for basic catheter care while their distress signal flashed ignored at the nurses' station.
