F 0677 Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, for one of three sampled residents (Resident 2), who was dependent on staff for Activities of Daily Living (ADLs, such as transfers from bed to chair, bathing/showers, eating, personal hygiene), the facility failed to ensure showers were provided to maintain grooming and personal hygiene. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to result in diminished self-esteem and poor grooming and personal hygiene. Findings: During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the record indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included muscle spasms, chronic pain, multiple sclerosis (chronic disease of the central nervous system, symptoms include trouble walking) and epilepsy (nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed causing seizures). During a review of Resident 2's MDS (Minimum Data Set, a standardized assessment tool used for nursing home residents), dated 4/14/23, the MDS indicated Resident 2 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment tool for resident's orientation to time and capacity to remember) score of 15 out of 15 indicating Resident 2 is cognitively intact. Resident 2 required staff assist with all ADLs that included transfers, toileting, dressing, and personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 2's ADL care plan (undated), the care plan indicated Resident 2 required assistance with ADLs and staff was to provide shower and body check on shower days. During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/3/23 at 1 p.m. with Resident 2, Resident 2 stated there had been a shortage of staff in the last five years at the facility. Resident 2 stated they have not gotten showers as scheduled because there were not enough CNAs that show up. Resident 2's hair appeared oily and matted. During an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 2 on 8/3/23 at 11:18 a.m., CNA 2 stated all residents are offered three showers weekly. CNA 2 stated when other CNAs called off, the assignment would be split among those who showed up, increasing the number of residents that each CNA would have. CNA 2 stated this would mean residents who were scheduled to have showers would have to fall in line. During a review of Resident 2's POC Response History Shower for July 2023, the document indicated Resident 2 received 4 out of 12 showers in one month. It also indicated Resident 2 went 14 days (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
