Thank you for your comments. I would never "force" anyone to do anything they didnt not want to be done. Providing excellent patient care is top priority for me. I simple was looking for suggestions to make it better for the resident and more efficient for the staff.

Oh yes indeed you are correct, there is only a handful of residents that are using their callbells constantly. Thank you for your suggestions, they are greatly appreciated. Have a good day.

Hello MoopleRN, thank you for your suggestions. All are greatly appreciated. To clarify the non-compliant resident care: example is the resident that wants bi-pap on at 8pm sharp and refuses the bi-pap at 9pm because it was not put on at the time R wanted it to be. Or the R that refuses wound care because it was not done when they wanted it to be done. That is just an example of course. As for the "stupid stuff", I have tried all of thoes suggestions. Nothing is effective. Resident will push call light when Aide or Nurse is in the doorway walking out of the room. I do appreciate your comments. Have a great day.

Hello everyone. I'm requesting suggestions and or tips/tricks proven effective from fellow Nurses in regard to that resident(s) that is noncompliant with care and is on their call light every 45 minutes. Sometimes more frequently and usually for secondary issues. Ex: what time is it, move my whatever on the nightstand, fluff my pillow etc... I work in an assisted living care facility, and have 66 residents to care for each night 11p-7a with only one aide for help. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
