reviewed (Resident 3).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A facility policy for resident showers dated March 14, 2024, indicated that residents will be provided
showers as per request or as per facility schedule protocols.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 3, dated February 21, 2024, indicated that the resident was cognitively impaired,
was dependent on staff for showers and bathing, and had diagnoses that included peripheral vascular
disease.
A care plan for Resident 3, dated December 12, 2023, indicated that the resident required two staff
members to provide care. A care plan, dated January 1, 2024, indicated that the resident was to be
assisted with showering as per facility policy weekly.
A review of the facility shower schedule indicated that Resident 3 was to have a shower every Wednesday
and Saturday on day shift.
Review of bathing documentation for Resident 3, dated February 20, 2024, through March 19, 2024,
indicated that the resident only received two showers during that time. There was no documented evidence
that the resident was offered or refused showers weekly as per his care plan.
Observations of Resident 3 on March 20, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. revealed that the resident lying in bed with his
eyes closed. Observations on March 20, 2024, at 3:45 p.m. revealed that the resident was lying in bed with
several visitors in his room.
Interview with Nurse Aide 3 on March 20, 2024, at 11:05 a.m. revealed that she was the only nurse aide
providing care on the North Shore unit and that she was not able to complete her scheduled resident
showers. She reported this as a common occurrence and sometimes was unable to get residents out of
bed if she could not find help from other staff.
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse 1 on March 20, 2024, at 11:30 a.m. revealed that only one nurse
aide was working on the [NAME] Shore unit; therefore, Resident 3 was not able to be provided his
