Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, review of the facility's shower schedules, resident interview, staff interview, and policy review,
the facility failed to ensure residents, who were dependent on staff for personal care, received the
assistance needed to receive showers as scheduled. This affected three (Resident #3, #9, and #30) of
three residents reviewed for activities of daily living (ADL).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #3's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses
included a dislocation of his right hip prosthesis, unsteadiness on feet, repeated falls, diabetes mellitus with
diabetic neuropathy, muscle weakness, malignant neoplasm of the prostate, congestive heart failure, and
hypertension.
Review of Resident #3's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the
resident did not have any communication issues and was cognitively intact. He was not known to display
any behaviors nor was he known to reject care during the seven days of the assessment period. He
required substantial assistance with showers/baths and transfers.
Review of Resident #3's care plan revealed he had a care plan in place for ADL functional status which
required therapy services related to a decline in his prior level of function of ADL's/mobility. It was due to an
impaired ability to perform ADL's and difficulty walking and the goal was for his ADL function to improve.
The interventions included allowing him as much independence with ADL's as possible while still
maintaining his safety, provide encouragement as needed to participate with ADL's daily and to offer praise
for his efforts, provide assistance as needed with ADL's and to refer to the resident's profile for ADL
assistance needed.
Review of the Unit 2 shower schedule revealed Resident #3 was to receive a shower/bath every Tuesday,
Thursday, and Saturday on the day shift.
Review of Resident #3's shower documentation from 11/26/24 to 12/21/24 revealed the resident had no
documented evidence of receiving showers/baths on his scheduled shower days on six of the 12
opportunities he was to receive one. There was no evidence he received a shower or bath on 11/30/24,
12/05/24, 12/07/24, 12/10/24, 12/19/24 or 12/21/24. He was further indicated to have only received a partial
bed bath on 11/28/24, which was a scheduled shower day.
2. Review of Resident #9's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. He remained
in the facility until he was discharged home on [DATE]. His diagnoses included orthopedic aftercare,
infection of a surgical site, fracture of the upper end of his femur, difficulty walking,

her range of motion. She required partial/moderate assistance for showers/baths and transfers.
Review of Resident #30's active care plan revealed she had a care plan in place for an impaired ability to
perform or participate in daily ADL's related to muscle weakness and chronic pain syndrome. The goal was
for the resident to participate with ADL's as much as possible and to remain clean and dry, comfortable,

On 12/23/24 at 11:01 A.M., an interview with Resident #30 revealed she did not get showers that often
when she was scheduled to receive one. She confirmed the documentation of her showers seemed
accurate in regards to her not receiving a shower five of the days she was scheduled to receive one. She
denied that she had asked for a bed bath on 12/12/24, when it was documented as having been provided to
her on a scheduled shower day. She denied that the staff typically asked if she wanted a shower, but
reported the staff just come in and do what they want to do. It was her preference to receive showers and
she stated she may only get one of the three showers that were scheduled for her each week.
On 12/23/24 at 11:09 A.M., an interview with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the three
residents (#3, #9, and #30) reviewed for showers were missing documented evidence of receiving a shower
on their scheduled shower days and that the documentation that she had already provided was the only
documentation they had. She stated the facility was in the process of hiring a new shower aide, with the
current one moving back into working on the floor. The DON reported the shower aide was very busy and
also helped out on the floor and that was why they could not get the scheduled showers completed when
they had a shower aide. She stated they hoped by replacing their current shower aide with a new one, it
would allow them to get the showers completed as scheduled.
On 12/23/24 at 12:15 P.M., an interview with the facility's Administrator revealed the completion of
resident's showers had been an ongoing issue. She reported the facility continued to work to get the issue
resolved and it was a work in progress.
Review of the facility's undated policy on Shower/Tub Baths revealed it was the facility's policy to promote
cleanliness, provide comfort to the resident, and to observe the condition of the resident's skin. It stated the
following information should be recorded on the resident's ADL record and/or in the resident's medical
record: the date and the time the shower/tub bath was performed; the name and the title of the individual(s)
who assisted the resident with the shower/tub bath; all assessment data obtained during the shower/tub
bath; how the resident tolerated the shower/tub bath; if the resident refused the shower/tub bath, the
reason(s) why and the intervention taken; and the signature and title of the person recording the data.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00160691.
