The night shift staff were slow to answer the call light, which caused the resident distress at getting to the bathroom in time. Resident 13 stated she need help to get to the bathroom. When she used the call light to call for help, the staff would come in and turn off the call light stating they would be return; however she would have to wait for up to one hour to get help. She stated only the CNA's would answer the call lights.
