Record review of the shower documentation revealed Resident #16's showers were scheduled twice weekly (on Tuesday and Friday) on day shift. Further review of the shower documentation between 10/08/23 and 11/07/23 for Resident #16 revealed showers were documented as given on 10/11/23, 10/30/23, 11/02/23, and 11/07/23. Interview on 11/01/23 at 1:26 P.M., with State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #30 revealed the facility no longer had a shower aide to help make sure the showers were completed on the day and shift they were scheduled. Interview on 11/07/23 at 10:15 A.M., with Registered Nurse (RN) #45 revealed it was an ongoing issue to ensure STNAs were assisting residents with their showers. Interview on 11/07/23 at 2:33 P.M., with the Director of Nursing verified Resident #13, Resident #23, and Resident #16 did not receive assistance with showers per their schedules, and stated there was no documentation available to indicate showers were provided as scheduled for Resident #13, Resident #16, and Resident #23. Review of the polity titled, Routine Resident Care, dated 03/07/23, revealed residents will receive the necessary assistance to maintain good grooming and personal/oral hygiene. Steps will be taken to ensure that a resident's capacity for self-performance of these activities does not diminish unless circumstances of the resident's clinical condition demonstrate the decline is unavoidable. Showers, tub baths, and/or shampoos were scheduled according to person centered care or state specific guidelines. Additional bathing will be given as requested. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00146489. This is an example of continued non-compliance from the survey dated 09/13/23.
