Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the call system was accessible to a resident while in their room. On 07/07/25 at 1:10 PM, a resident was heard repeatedly yelling for help and continued to do so for 25 minutes until staff responded. Upon entering the room, the resident was found sitting in a wheelchair at the end of her bed, with the call bell placed out of her reach on the bed near the pillow. During an interview at 1:35 PM, an LPN confirmed that the call button was not within the resident's reach and stated she was unaware of the situation, as a nurse aide had just been with the resident.
