Interview on 07/21/21 at 10:45 A.M., with STNA #300 revealed all showers were documented in the POC,
even if they were refused. Residents who receive showers on second shift don't receive their showers due

Review of facility policy titled Bathing, revealed baths/showers may be given at any time the resident
chooses. They may be done in the morning, before bed, or any other time of the resident's preference. A

STNA POC or nursing notes. Document refusals, re-attempts, and discussions about why refusing and
options offered. Complete shower sheets for scheduled and or as needed showers given or refused, skin
checks on scheduled shower days whether shower was given.
