The signal system links to the staff office where staff are made aware if a resident needs assistance. LPA observed that the signal system was functional.

Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated at this time.
