Summary
The facility was found to be inadequately equipped to allow residents to call for staff assistance in public bathrooms, as none of the seven public bathrooms accessible to residents were equipped with a call light system. Observations on 11/20/25 revealed that multiple public bathrooms, including those in the 300 and 400 hallways, near the nurse's station, staff break room, Human Resource office, front desk, Administration hallway, and activities room, did not contain call lights. These bathrooms were not locked, making them accessible to residents at any time. During an interview, the Director of Maintenance confirmed the absence of call lights in these bathrooms and stated that he was unaware of the requirement to have them installed.
