32 | Although the facility is not required to have a signal system according to regulation, LPA observed three (3) out of six (6) residents with bells in their rooms. LPA interviewed the three (3) residents, including R1, and no concerns regarding staff response times were noted. Residents stated that staff are responsive and will provide assistance when residents ring the bell or call for assistance. LPA observed the three (3) residents with different types of bells and staff interviews stated this is so that staff can differentiate which resident’s bell was rung by the differing sounds. LPA interviewed the two (2) staff members present and no evidence supporting the allegation was found. Based on interview, the Department does not have sufficient evidence to corroborate the allegation. Although the allegation may be valid, at this time there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation or that a violation occurred, therefore, the allegation “Staff do not answer call buttons in a timely manner” is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
Staff member Evangelina Roxas was designated to sign this report.
Exit interview conducted with Administrator Michelle Maurer telephonically. A copy of the report was issued.
