On 01/21/25 at 08:51 AM V4 (R1's Family Member) stated on 12/24/24, I reported my concerns to the
administrator. I also let R1's nurse on duty know and she just sat there like there is nothing we can do. R1's
mattress was not together, and I had to beg them to give R1 a bath. R1 has a tracheostomy but she can still
take a bath. The incident was on day shift, and they had not done anything with R1's hair. R1 finally got her
hair washed and her teeth was yellow. When they got R1 out of the bed and took R1 to the shower area you
could see the imprint of her body. I smelled the mattress, and I can't describe the smell, it stunk. The
mattress was supposed to be blue, but it was a different

On 01/21/25 at 01:06 PM Surveyor asked V9 (Certified Nurse Assistant) to enter R1's and R6's room. V9
stated I did not take care of R1 on 12/24/24. When we care for a resident we wash them, do hair, nails, and
oral care. I make sure that I wash the hair with a towel and comb through R1's hair. Surveyor asked V9 how
she would describe R6's hair. V9 put on a pair of gloves and began touching R6's hair then responded,
scabs are coming up; it is dry and some of the hair is like matted. V9 removed the gloves, went in the
bathroom, washed her hands, and applied a pair of gloves and walked over to R1's bed. Surveyor asked V6
to describe how she (V9) observed R1's hair. V9 responded, R1's hair is matted, dry and probably can get
unmatted if you wet and soften it up.
On 01/21/25 at 01:13 PM Surveyor asked V10 (Agency Licensed Practical Nurse) to enter R1 and R6
room. Surveyor asked how she (V10) observed and would describe R6's hair. V10 stated R6 skin is dry and
looks like cradle cap, looks a little matted and needs to be washed. V10 walked over to R1's bed and was
asked to describe how she (V10) observed R1's hair. V10 responded, in the back R1's hair is matted and
looks like it needs to be washed.
On 01/21/25 at 01:22 PM V11 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated when doing resident care the certified
nurse assistants comb hair, wash the face and do oral care.
On 01/21/25 at 03:33 PM V13 (Agency Certified Nurse Assistant) stated I provide R1's ADL's. R1's hair is
clustered together when I have seen her and taken that set. R1's hair is hard to comb and R1 makes faces
when trying to change her or comb her hair.
On 01/22/25 at 11:28 AM V15 (Agency Certified Nurse Assistant) stated I worked with R1 with another
certified nurse assistant. When I first saw R1 I could tell the night shift did not do anything. R1 was wet from
the night shift before. On 12/24/24 I went and washed R1, put grease on her hair because it was pushed up
and I brushed it down. Before I combed R1's hair it was matted to her head, and I sprayed her hair with
soap and water. R1's hair was so mated' it smelt. R1's hair is normally matted to her head. I don't know the
words to describe it, but it was not a good smell. V4 (R1's Family Member) arrived right before lunch. R1 is
alert to shake her head. I think that was R1's shower day and the mattress was not properly wiped down.
R1 is bed bound and can't do anything. I stripped the bed, it smelt like R1 had not even been changed and
the mattress smelt of urine and poop.
On 01/22/25 at 09:23 AM R6 was observed in bed in a semi-Fowler_position with a tracheostomy tube

On 01/22/25 at 09:24 AM R1 was observed in bed on a low air loss mattress dressed in a gown in a

oxygen in use per a humidity collar and connected to an oxygen concentrator. R1 hair was combed and
brushed back.
On 01/22/25 at 12:07 PM V16 (Nurse Consultant) stated when I went to R1's/R6's room they were about to
wash R6's hair. They had tried to comb R6's hair and it was getting ready to be shampooed. We were on it.
R1's hair in the back of the head it was more like it was stuck to her head a little that is what I remember.
We do not have a policy for shampooing and combing hair.
On 01/22/25 at 12:57 PM V2 (Director of Nursing) stated when I went to see R6 they had started washing
her hair and it was not as dry. R1's hair was tangled in the back; it was stuck together, and they had to pick
it out. During a.m. care bathing is done, washing of the face, brushing teeth,
