Inaccessible Shower Call Light Strings in Resident Bathrooms
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified a deficiency in the availability and accessibility of the resident call system in bathroom shower areas. During observations on 1/21/26 at 9:35 AM, the bathroom shower call light strings in resident rooms #303 and #307 were found curled up so they were not accessible to a resident who might be on the floor of the shower. In a subsequent interview on 1/21/26 at 12:50 PM, the Administrator acknowledged that the bathroom shower call light strings should not be curled up and confirmed they should extend to the floor area of the shower but were not. The report states this failure had the potential for harm if residents were not able to summon staff for assistance. No additional resident-specific medical histories or conditions at the time of the deficiency are provided in the report.
