This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide care and services for four sampled residents when 1. During an interruption of the hot water supply, the facility staff did not have coordination to follow-up on the issue which resulted in multiple residents not getting their showers as scheduled as well as, for as Resident 1, he had refused peri-care using cold water even though he felt "dirty", Resident 2 and 3 were provided cold water during their bed baths. 2. For Resident 4, the facility failed to implement their Shower/Tub Bath policy when Resident 4 was not provided showers as indicated on the shower schedule and Care Plan (identifies residents' concerns and outlines the care and services needed to meet their needs). This failure had the potential to negatively affect the residents' psychosocial well-being and health. Findings: 1. During an observation and interview on 9/28/18 at 9:35 a.m., certified nursing assistant A (CNA A) was asked if he had any scheduled residents for showers. CNA A indicated, he had one but he did not give it because "there's no hot water in the shower today." Showers A/B in the south area unit was tested with CNA A. CNA A indicated the water was taking longer to have hot water and after about two minutes of testing, shower B did not produce hot water.

During an interview with ADM on 9/28/18, at 10:40 a.m., he confirmed he was not notified about the interruption of the hot water supply on 9/27/18.
