Complaint Investigation
Census: 84
Deficiencies: 1
Date: Apr 14, 2025
Visit Reason
The inspection was conducted as an unannounced on-site complaint investigation regarding allegations that a resident did not receive a timely response to a call light due to a call system outage and that the resident's legal representative had difficulty contacting staff after hours.
Complaint Details
The complaint alleged that a named resident pushed the call light for shortness of breath and did not get a response for over 3 hours due to call light system outage, and that the resident's legal representative had to call management staff outside the facility after business hours for help. The complaint was substantiated with findings of communication system failure and lack of backup.
Findings
The investigation found that the facility failed to provide a means for residents' families to contact staff inside the building after hours, resulting in the inability of a resident's family to reach staff during a night shift when the call system was not working. The facility phone was forwarded to a cell phone that was dead, and no backup system was in place. Frequent staff checks were made during the outage, but communication failures were documented.
Deficiencies (1)
Facility failed to have a means for residents' families to directly contact a staff person inside the building after hours, resulting in inability to contact on-site staff during a night shift.
