Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on

observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure residents had the right to reside and receive services in the facility with reasonable accommodation of resident needs and preferences except when to do so would endanger the health or safety of the resident or other residents for 1 of 10 (Resident #2) residents reviewed for reasonable accommodation of needs. The facility failed to ensure the call light system in Resident #2's room was in a position accessible to the resident on 09/10/2025.This failure could place the residents at risk of being unable to obtain assistance when needed and help in the event of an emergency.Findings included: Record review of Resident #2's Face Sheet, dated 09/10/2025, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old male who admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED]. Resident #2 had diagnoses which included dementia (decline in cognitive function that interferes with daily life) and unsteadiness on feet.Record review of Resident #2's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 08/20/2025, reflected severe cognitive impairment with a BIMS score of 03. Resident #2 required staff assistance for self-care needs.

Record review of Resident #2's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 09/01/2025, reflected the resident was at risk for falls. One of the interventions was to ensure the call light was within reach and encourage the resident to use it for assistance as needed. During an observation and interview on 09/10/2025 at 9:40 AM, Resident #2 was lying in bed awake. Resident #2's call light cord was on the floor approximately two feet to

the right of the head of his bed. When he was asked if he used his call light, Resident #2 replied no. A further attempt to interview the resident was unsuccessful due to his cognitive status. CNA B came into the resident's room and stated the resident did not use the call light. He stated Resident #2 had poor vision and

the call light was normally clipped near the resident's pillow. CNA B placed the call light within the resident's reach. He stated it was important for the call light to be within the resident's reach so he could use it to call for help. During an interview on 09/10/2025 at 10:23 AM, LVN C stated Resident #2 did not use the call light and staff had to anticipate his needs. She stated staff tried to keep the call light clipped on Resident #2's bed. She stated it was important to ensure the call light was within the resident's reach because it was a safety issue. LVN C stated it was also Resident #2's right to have access to his call light. During an

interview on 09/10/2025 at 1:45 PM, the Administrator stated the facility did not have a policy specific to call light placement. He stated the expectation was for all residents to have access to their call lights. He stated

the nursing staff monitored call light placement during rounds, and all staff should ensure the call light is within reach before leaving a resident's room. He stated the call light should have been clipped within Resident #2's reach. During an interview on 09/10/2025 at 2:14 PM, the DON stated Resident #2's call light should have been within his reach so if he wanted to use it he could. During an interview on 09/10/2025 at 3:20 PM, the ADON stated all residents should have their call light in reach. He stated it was for the residents' safety and to ensure they could notify staff if they needed assistance of any kind.The facility did not provide a policy related to the use of call lights.
