Ignite Medical Resort Chesterton: Call Light Failure - IN
Inspectors observed Resident H on September 25, 2025, at 11:33 a.m. She appeared fatigued and was visibly trembling. She said her husband had asked staff to put her back to bed when he left for the day and had been told it would be a while because they were busy. She said she had tried to press her call light again but could not find it.
Two minutes later, at 11:35 a.m., a registered nurse was notified of the situation. The nurse searched the room and found the call light tucked in the back corner, out of reach and out of the resident's line of sight. The nurse told the resident she would find an aide. Resident H was not returned to bed until 11:48 a.m., thirteen minutes after the nurse was told she needed help.
Her medical record showed she required substantial to maximum assistance to transfer from a chair to a bed. She was moderately impaired in daily decision making. Her diagnoses included encephalopathy, muscle weakness, diabetes, and adult failure to thrive.
Nine days before the inspection, on September 16, a nurse's note recorded that Resident H's husband had again requested she be put to bed. Staff found her lethargic and pale, with difficulty detecting a pulse. She was hospitalized that day with a severe urinary tract infection.
When inspectors interviewed the Assistant Director of Nursing on the afternoon of September 25, she said she understood the call light concern and had no additional information to provide.
Her husband had been told it would be a while. She sat and shook and waited.

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.
