Cambridge Place: Call Light Out of Reach for Resident - KS
Inspectors observed Resident 66 in her wheelchair on the morning of August 24, 2025. Her call light hung on the wall, out of reach from the bed. They came back five hours later. It was still there.
She had recently moved from another room in the facility. A licensed nurse told inspectors the resident was mobile in her wheelchair and enjoyed propelling herself up and down the hallways, but could not safely walk on her own after the surgery. The nurse also said every resident should have an accessible call light.
Administrative Nurse E said she hadn't known there was a problem. She learned about it from the inspector.
The facility's own policy, dated September 2020, required a call light at every resident's bedside and stated that staff should confirm the call light was within reach during each interaction in the resident's room. Administrative Nurse D confirmed to inspectors on August 26 that a resident's call light should be accessible from the bed and should not be across the room.
Nobody had checked.
For a resident who couldn't walk independently after surgery, the call light wasn't a convenience. It was the one way to summon help in the night, from the bed, without getting up. The facility knew she couldn't safely ambulate on her own. The room had been hers for a month.
Inspectors cited the deficiency at a level of minimal harm, affecting few residents. Cambridge Place had 77 residents at the time of the inspection.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
