This deficient practiced had the potential to decrease the resident's sense of well-being, level of satisfaction with life and feelings of self-worth and self-esteem. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record dated 10/25/2024, the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included sepsis (a serious condition in which the body responds improperly to an infection), heart failure (a heart condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently), pneumonia (an infection of one or both of the lungs caused by bacteria or viruses), anemia (a condition where the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells [a type of blood cell responsible for transporting fresh oxygen all over the body), and need for assistance with personal care. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 12/6/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 1's cognition (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the sense) was moderately impaired. Resident 1 required supervision with eating, and was dependent on staff with oral hygiene, toileting, shower/bathing, and dressing. During an interview with Resident 1's responsible party (RP) 1 on 12/20/2024 at 11:10 a.m., RP 1 stated that on 12/7/2024 around 7:00 p.m. RP 1 was informed by Resident 1 that he (Resident 1) had not had a shower that day nor was offered a shower, and it was his (Resident 1) scheduled shower day. RP 1 stated that she met with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, and informed RN 1 that Resident 1 had not had a shower or been offered a shower on 12/7/2024. During an interview with the Director of Staff Development (DSD) on 12/20/2024 at 2:50 p.m., the DSD stated that when Certified Nursing Attendants (CNA) begin their shift, they (CNAs) are instructed to go and introduce themselves to the residents that they are assigned to and discuss with the residents regarding ADL care, including preferred shower times. The DSD stated that she (DSD) was informed that on 12/7/2024 CNA 1 was assigned to Resident 1 and CNA 1 did not discuss with Resident 1 at the beginning of the shift when Resident 1 would like to have a shower.
