The nurse call panel at the Unit 700 nursing station was not operational during the first day of the survey and the facility administrative staff was aware of problems with the call lights. The findings included: An observation on 12/06/2010 at approximately 7:30 PM revealed call lights lit over resident rooms 701, 712 and 715 with Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) #1 attempting, without success, to turn off the call lights after providing care. The call light for room [ROOM NUMBER] was blinking on and off with no sounds. The call light for room [ROOM NUMBER] was lit with no sounds. In an interview with the surveyor, at the time of the observation, CNA #1 confirmed that the call lights for rooms 701, 712 and 715 were not working appropriately. CNA #1 stated that he went to room [ROOM NUMBER] to turn off the call light for room [ROOM NUMBER]. The 700 Unit comprised of four halls not in full view of the nurse's station and rooms [ROOM NUMBERS], located in a corner, not readily visible to the staff from the halls. When asked how long problems with the call lights had existed on the unit CNA #1 stated that the call lights had not been working since last week when he informed a nurse. When asked how the staff determined a resident needed assistance CNA #1 stated that they looked to see if a light was on over the resident's door to determine if the resident needed assistance. An observation by the surveyor on 12/06/2010 at approximately 8 PM revealed the lights were on over the doors to rooms 710, 712 and 715; the call light panel was not functioning at the nurse's station. There was no staff member at the nurse's station. A nurse observed near room [ROOM NUMBER] called for a CNA to go to room [ROOM NUMBER] due to the call light being on over the door, in the hallway. Observation of the call light panel at the nurse's station revealed the light for room [ROOM NUMBER] was not lit. In an interview with the surveyor on 12/06/2010 at approximately 8:45 PM the Administrator confirmed she was aware the call lights were not working and that the Maintenance Manager received a report regarding call lights not functioning properly on 11/25/2010. The Administrator showed the surveyor a maintenance log dated 11/25/2010 that documented the concern that the call light system on Unit 700 was not working. In an interview with the surveyor on 12/06/2010 at approximately 9:05 PM the Maintenance Manager stated that some work was performed on the call lights 2 months ago. He stated he was not aware of the recent concerns but showed the survey a log dated 11/25/2010 that addressed concerns that the call light was not working on Unit 700. The Maintenance Manager stated that because the concerns were documented in the log did not mean anyone knew about the problems.
