| 1402 | RALEIGH CENTER | 515088 | 1631 RITTER DRIVE | DANIELS | WV | 25832 | 2019-01-25 | 558 | D | 0 | 1 | LL0G11 | Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure call light devices were within reach for two (2) of twenty (20) sampled residents. Resident identifiers: #42, #22. Facility census: 65. Findings included: a) Resident #42 Observation on, 01/22/19 at 9:06 AM, found Resident #42 lying in his bed. The call bell was not in reach or even in the bed. Instead, the cord hung from the wall between the two (2) beds in the room. An interview was conducted with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #43 at this time. She said she did not think the resident could use the call bell. She said he yelled out loud when he wanted something. She attached the call light/cord to his bed, and draped it over his right knee. The resident was observed fiddling with the call light for a couple of minutes, looking at it and touching it. When asked if he knew how to ring the call light for the nurse, he did not reply. He activated the call light by using his thumb to press down on the red button at the tip of the call light device several times repeatedly. On 01/22/19 at 9:09 AM, Nurse Aide (NA) #15 responded to the call light and asked the resident what he needed. He replied pizza. This NA said although she was not assigned to his room today, she has worked with him. She said he sometimes uses the call bell. She said she would go see if she could get him some pizza. Another observation, on 01/24/19 at 3:15 PM, observed him lying in bed. The call bell was not visible. Observation on 01/24/19 at 4:00 PM found him still lying in bed. The call bell was not visible. At this time, an interview was conducted LPN #11. LPN #11 agreed the call bell should be within his reach at all times. LPN #11 found the call bell and cord lying beneath his bed. She attached the cord to the resident's bed, and draped in across his lap where he could reach it. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 01/24/19 at 5:30 PM, DON said it was her expectation that residents' call bells were always within reach. b) Resident (R) #22 Observations, on 01/22/19 at 9:18 AM, revealed Resident #22 lying in bed with the head of her bed elevated at approximately 60 degrees. The call bell was lying above the pillow, on the left side top of the mattress above the resident's head, out of the resident's range of vision and reach. The resident was yelling out for help. When asked why she did not use her call light to get help, the resident said she could not find it and said sometimes they forgot to put it where she could reach it. Resident #22 said she wanted to know if they were going to change her bed out because the night before the bed didn't work. At 9:28 AM on 01/22/19, NA#49 (Nurse Aide) was observed delivering packages of briefs to different residents. Resident #22 started again to yell out for help. NA#49 entered the resident's room with a package of briefs as the resident was yelling for help. NA#49 talked to the resident and reassured her that the bed was working now. NA#49 said there had been a power outage the night before and that was the reason there had been problems with the beds. NA#49 left the resident's room without placing the call bell within reach of the resident. The call bell was placed within reach of the resident after surveyor intervention. | 2020-09-01 |
