Summary
Surveyors observed that essential equipment, specifically call bell boxes, were not maintained in safe operating condition in two out of thirteen resident rooms reviewed. During observation rounds, call bell boxes were found hanging from the wall with blue wires exposed. This deficiency was identified through direct observation and confirmed during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator, who acknowledged that maintenance repairs the call boxes when they are dislodged.
