assessment of a resident, the facility must
ensure that residents receive treatment and
care in accordance with professional standards
of practice, the comprehensive personcentered care plan, and the residents' choices.
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.
CNA A said licensed vocational nurse B (LVN
