Additionally, the resident required maximum assistance with bathing.

The care plan included goals to maintain the resident's current level of function while ensuring timely and adequate support with activities of daily living. Interventions specifically called for assistance with personal hygiene and bathing as needed, encouragement for the resident to use the call light to request help, and ensuring staff promptly responded to these needs. Review of the shower records for Resident #24 revealed multiple instances where showers were not provided as scheduled, with gaps exceeding seven days. Specifically, there was an 18-day gap between showers from 03/07/25 to 03/25/25, an 11-day gap from 03/28/25 to 04/08/25, another 11-day gap from 04/18/25 to 04/29/25, and an 8-day gap between 05/23/25 and 05/31/25, during which no showers were recorded.

This affected one resident (#26) out of 30 residents reviewed for the sample. The facility had a census of 64. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #26 revealed an original admission date of 01/30/25 and the most recent re-entry on 05/28/25.

Review of the 5-day Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] for Resident #26 revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 12, indicating moderate cognitive impairment. Additionally, Section K of the MDS stated Resident #26 had no swallowing disorders, was on a therapeutic diet, but it did not state that the resident was receiving a mechanically altered diet.

Interview on 06/18/25 at 11:49 A.M. with the Registered Dietitian (RD) #162 revealed that placing Resident #26 on a mechanical soft diet was an error. The RD stated that during the initial screening, the resident did not demonstrate any issues with chewing or swallowing and had not failed any feeding or pocketing tests. She confirmed the diet was mistakenly continued from the prior stay, during which the resident had been on a mechanical soft renal diet due to broken teeth.
