Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure residents were treated with dignity by answering call lights in a timely manner. This applies to 4 of 4 residents (Resident R15, Resident R16, Resident R17, Resident R18) reviewed for dignity in the sample of 18. The findings include: On 11/25/25 at 11:30 AM Resident R15 stated, It takes a long time, but I do not know how long because I do not have a clock. It feels like at least 20 - 30 minutes most of the time. It is worse during shift change or when they are on their breaks. I lay in wet diapers quite a while- all
the time. They often come in and turn the light off and say they will be back and sometimes they come back and sometimes they don't. It is not good. Some are very nice and others are not. Some do not want to listen to what I want them to do. One girl yesterday threatened to leave the room and not come back.On 11/25/25 at 11:40AM Resident R16 stated, Sometimes an hour- usually a little less. Sometimes I wet my pants because I have to wait so long. Makes me feel helpless. Nighttime I think is the worst. Some of the staff are nice, some are very rude. They are really good at turning off the call lights. I tell them as many times as they turn them off; I will turn it back on.On 11/25/25 at 11:45AM Resident R17 stated, I have waited anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours to have my call light answered. This IV has been beeping for 30 minutes now. The nurse said she was going to set a timer on her watch so she could come and turn it off. (continued to beep until Surveyor reported to nurse at 12:15PM). I have a catheter and a stoma, so I have that going for me but when I put my call light on, I usually need a pain pill, or I need to be repositioned in the bed. When they don't come it makes me feel like I have no value, like my concerns and my needs are immaterial. They said that whenever a CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant) walks past the room and my call light is on, they should be checking to see what I need. That never happens. My doctor is currently looking for another place for me to live.On 11/25/25 at 12:00PM Resident R18 stated, Sometimes the call light doesn't get answered at all and I try to make it to the bathroom on my own. It is either that or wet the bed. Plenty of time I have dribbled in my Depends because I can't get there in time. What does that sign say? (Sign on the bathroom door reads- Wait for the nurse, don't get up alone. Well sometimes that is not possible. I always tell them they are going to have a bigger mess to clean up if they don't come in time. I have fallen a couple of times, and I am afraid it will happen again. But I have to go to the bathroom. If they just take me in there then I will find my way back. Sometimes that light in there (bathroom) is still going off 15-20 minutes after I have gotten myself back in the bed.The facility Residents' Rights for People in Long-term Care Facilities Pamphlet given to residents on admission to the facility stated, Your facility must provide services to keep your physical and mental health, and sense of satisfaction.
