**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents' preference for shower date
and time was honored for 1 of 4 residents reviewed (Resident #107). Findings include: During an
observation on 7/30/2025 at 8:50 AM, the communication board in Resident #107's room showed that the
resident was scheduled to have two showers weekly on Wednesday and Sundays. During an interview on
7/30/2025 at 8:45 AM, Resident #107 stated that her usual shower days were Sundays and Wednesdays.
This past Sunday (7/27/2025), she requested a shower, and the aide informed her that she could not have
a shower, only a bed bath. The resident informed the aide that she did not want a bed bath, she wanted a
shower, but the aide refused and informed her she would give a bed bath. The resident stated that she was
never given a bed bath or a shower on 7/27/2025. During an interview on 7/30/2025 at 12:23 PM, Staff A,
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), stated that she was the aide providing care for Resident #107 on the
evening of 7/27/2025. Staff A stated, It was [Resident #107's name]'s shower day, but by the time I got to
her, she said it was too late, and to just put her to bed, so I did. [Resident #107's name] asked to have her
peri-area washed, and did not want her gown changed, as it was still clean. I asked if she was sure, but she
said just wash my peri area. This occurred around 8:00 PM. She likes to shower right after dinner. If I
remember right, we only had two CNAs that night. Normally, we have three, so it took longer for me to get
to her. During an interview on 7/31/2025 at 9:08 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, I interviewed
[Resident #107's name] and [Staff A, CNA's name]. [Staff A's name] should have documented the bed bath
for [Resident #107's name] as refused if the bed bath was not completed. During an interview on 7/31/2025
at 10:10 AM, Staff B, Registered Nurse (RN), stated, I was the nurse on shift for [Resident #107's name] on
the evening of 7/27/25. I review and sign the shower sheets at the end of the shift. [Staff A, CNA's name]
never informed me that [Resident #107's name] refused a shower or a bed bath. I expect the CNAs to
inform me when a resident refuses a shower or bed bath. Review of Resident #107's ADL (Activities of
Daily Living) task records showed the resident preferred Wednesdays and Sundays at 3-11 shift for bathing.
Review of Resident #107's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] showed the resident was
dependent for showering and bathing under Section GG- Functional Status. Review of Resident #107's
care plan dated 5/22/2025 read, Focus: Resident has specific preferences r/t [related to] day to day
activities. Goal: Staff need to be aware of resident preferences and incorporate them into daily care. Review
of the facility policy and procedure titled Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Supporting with the last review date
of 12/10/2024 read, Policy Statement: Residents will be provided with care, treatment, and services as
appropriate to maintain or improve their ability to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs). Residents who
are unable to carry out activities of daily living independently will receive the services necessary to maintain
good nutrition, grooming, and personal and oral hygiene. 2. Appropriate care and services will be provided
for residents

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and policy and procedure review, the facility failed to prevent the possible
spread of infection and communicable diseases when failing to place a resident on contact precaution
during testing for possible C-Diff (Clostridium difficile) toxin (Resident #94), and failing to ensure staff
donned appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and performed appropriate hand hygiene upon
entering and exiting the resident's room. Findings include: During an observation on 7/28/2025 at 11:13
AM, there was no isolation signage on Resident #94's room door and there was no PPE available. During
an interview on 7/28/2025 at 11:13 AM, Resident #94 stated, I have been having loose stool, and they did a
test on it for me. I had that C. diff before. Review of Resident #94's physician orders dated 7/28/2025 read,
Need Stool r/o (rule out) possible recurrent C-diff one time only for check for possible recurrent C-diff for 3
Days. During an observation on 7/29/2025 at 9:18 AM, Staff F, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), entered
Resident #94's room, used hand sanitizer, exited room after 3 minutes, and used hand sanitizer. There was
no isolation signage or PPE supplies on door of the room. During an observation on 7/30/2025 at 9:30 AM,
Staff F, CNA, entered Resident #94's room, used hand sanitizer, exited the residents room after 3 minutes,
used hand sanitizer, and entered a different resident's room. There was no isolation signage or PPE
supplies on the door of the room. During an observation on 7/30/2025 at 10:32 AM, Staff D, Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN), entered Resident #94's room, used hand sanitizer on entry, and exited 3 minutes
later and used hand sanitizer. Staff D returned to the medication cart. Review of Resident #94's infectious
disease consult note dated 7/30/2025 read, Patient is a 95 y/o [year old] male who was admitted into
[Name of a local hospital] back in May 2025 for weakness. Patient has had hx [history of] C-diff in the past.
He now resides at Solaris skilled nursing facility; he was recently treated for C-diff and stool was normally
formed. Now reported patient is having ongoing watery stools and C-diff was positive. ID [Infectious
disease] consulted for antibiotics management. Seen today up in the chair awake responsive. He reports
watery stools. Denies abdominal pain, no tenderness or distention noted. During an interview on 7/30/2025
at 12:15 PM, Staff E, Registered Nurse (RN), stated, He [Resident #94] was positive for C diff, and we need
to place him on isolation. He should have been placed on isolation on the 28th when we got the order. We
always do that. The nurse, that day, forgot to do it. During an interview on 7/30/2025 at 12:45 PM, Staff F,
CNA, stated, I did not know until now that he has C diff. We should wash our hands and not use the
sanitizer. I know a resident on precautions when I see the signs. During an interview on 7/31/2025 at 7:15
AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, We should have placed him [Resident #94] on precautions right
away when we got the order. Review of the facility policy and procedure titled Clostridium Difficile with the
last approval date of 12/17/2024 read, Policy Statement: Preventive measures will be taken to prevent the
occurrence of Clostridium difficile infections among residents and precautions will be taken while caring for
residents with C. Difficile (to prevent the transmission of C. Difficile to others). Policy Interpretation and
Implementation: 1. Clostridium Difficile infection will be considered in residents with acute onset of diarrhea
(three or more unformed stools within 24 hours) or abdominal pain. 2. Residents considered at high risk for
developing symptoms associated with C. Difficile include those with: a. Advanced age. c. Previous
gastrointestinal illness caused by C. Difficile. 10. Residents with diarrhea associated with C. Difficile will be
placed on Contact Precautions. D. Residents with diarrhea and suspected C. Difficile while awaiting
laboratory results. 11. When caring for residents with diarrhea or fecal incontinence caused by C. Difficile,
staff will maintain vigilant hand hygiene. Hand washing with soap and water is superior to ABHR
(alcohol-based hand rub) for the mechanical removal of C. Difficile spores from hands.
