clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents
were assisted with bathing in accordance with individual preferences for two of six sampled residents.
(Resident 1, 2)
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 1 had diagnoses that included a fractured rib, heart disease,
dementia and anxiety. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], indicated that the resident
had minimal memory impairment and required assistance from staff with showering. A review of the care
plan revealed that the resident had a deficit in Activities of Daily Living (ADL's) due to physicial limitations.
There was an intervention for staff to assist him with showering and bathing as needed. Review of the
nurse aide documentation for the last 30 days revealed that Resident 1 was scheduled to receive
assistance with a shower/bathing on Mondays and Thursdays on the evening shift. There was no
documented evidence that the resident had been offered assistance and had received a shower as
preferred on Monday November 13, 20, 27 and December 4, 2023. In addition, there was no documented
evidence that the resident had been offered assistance and had received a shower as preferred on
Thursday November 16 and 23, 2023.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 2 had diagnoses that included a stroke, paralysis of the left
side, and above the knee amputation. The MDS assessment dated [DATE], indicated that the resident had
no memory impairment and required assistance from staff with showering. A review of the care plan
revealed that the resident had an ADL care deficit due to physical limitations. There was an intervention for
staff to assist him with transfers and to assist with daily hygiene and grooming as needed. Review of the
nurse aide documentation for the last 30 days revealed that Resident 2 was scheduled to receive
assistance with a shower/bathing on Mondays and Thursdays on the day shift. There was no documented
evidence that the resident was offered assistance and had received a shower as preferred on November 6,
20 and 27, 2023. In addition, there was no documented evidence that the resident had been offered
assistance and had received a shower as preferred on Thursday November 2, 2023.
