Allegation: Staff are not responding to residents call button.

It is being reported that it takes staff up to 2 hours to respond to the resident’s call button. LPA Felisa Shirley interviewed S1 on 3/17/26, S1 stated that when call button alerts are received, responding staff calls the caregiver assigned for residents in that specific area on the walkie in which the alert was received. Per interview with S1, if there is a shortage of staff, if there is an alert from a resident, she sometimes identify the resident on the alert panel and responds to the alert herself to help out. Per interviews with S1-S6, there is no tracking system in place to verify response times for call button alerts from residents.

LPA interviewed staff 1 – staff 6 (S-1 – S-6). Of those interviewed 6 out of 6 denied the allegation. LPA interviewed resident 1 – resident 8 (R1 – R8). Of those who interviewed 2 out of 8 denied the allegation. Two residents confirmed the allegation, and 4 residents neither denied nor confirmed the allegation.

Based on information gathered, LPA did not find sufficient evidence to support the allegation “Staff are not responding to residents call button,” therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.

No deficiency was cited for this allegation.

An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided to the Wellness Director, Sheila Sikula.
