PM, the DON stated she was not aware of the issues found. She stated staff knew how to use the TELS system. She stated it was supposed to be linked to their electronic record system, but Information Technology was having a hard time making that work. There was a link the staff could click and then sign in to place work orders, but she felt since it was so inconvenient staff were just not reporting anything. She stated it was important to have functioning toilets and hot water for infection control issues as well as basic comfort. Interview on 10/14/25 at 3:12 PM, the Administrator stated staff had been trained on the TELS system before it went live at the beginning of the month, so there was no reason for them not to report anything needing repairs. He stated he would have the DON in-service staff again. The Administrator stated
it was important for the residents to have a functional and safe environment for their comfort and for basic sanitation reasons. The Administrator was unable to provide a policy that addressed a safe, comfortable, homelike environment.
