32 | Regarding the allegation that staff did not respond in a timely manner to the resident’s call for assistance, the Department conducted an investigation that included a review of records and interview. The LPA observed the Administrator and Director of Resident Services test the call buttons, bed sensor, and pull cords in different resident rooms in each floor of the facility. Caregiver staff responded to each activation within an appropriate time frame. The information obtained during the investigation was contradictory, and there was insufficient documentation and corroborating evidence to substantiate that staff failed to respond to the resident’s request for assistance in a timely manner during the investigation period.
