10598	CORDELE HEALTH AND REHABILITATION	115429	1106 NORTH 4TH STREET	CORDELE	GA	31015	2010-09-01	463	E			W2R511	Based on observations, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to properly maintain the call light system for seven beds on one of two halls (200). Findings include: 1. During the group interview on 8/30/10 at 1:50 p.m., one resident ("B") of the four residents in attendance complained that the call light in his/her room did not always work. During an observation on 9/1/10 at 8:30 a.m., seven of the call lights(rooms 204 bed 3, 203 bed 3, 201 beds 1 and 2 , 219 bed 2, 200 bed 3, 205 bed 3) in residents' rooms on the 200 hall were not working. Residents "E" and "D" stated that the call lights had not worked correctly for about the last one to two weeks. They stated that sometimes the light would turn on (light up) without either of them pushing the button. They stated that the staff had told them they did not know what was wrong with the call light system. During an interview on 9/1/10 at 9:30 a.m., the Administrator stated that the facility had recently had a problem with a call light on the 100 hall but, she was not aware of any problems with call lights on the 200 hall. She provided documentation on 8/19/10 that the facility had requested another service visit from their contractor for problems with the system in one room on 100 hall and a lot (of rooms) on the North side. According to that request, there had been a service visit on Monday (August16, 2010). Although the facility was aware of problems with the call light system, there was no evidence of continued monitoring of the call light system to determine its operational status. When the administrator contacted the Maintenance Director on 9/11/10 at 9:39 a.m., he confirmed that he had not performed any random checks of the call light system. At 10:20 a.m., the Administrator provided a list of the call lights on the 200 hall that had been checked by the Maintenance Supervisor. He identified two call lights that were not functioning properly. The Administrator reported that the Maintenance Director said that he had found condensation on the call light wires for the two call lights that were malfunctioning. At that time, the Administrator stated that she had contacted the company again to service the call light system and given bells to the residents to use to call for assistance until the call light system was serviced.	2014-03-01
