F 0677 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 Based on a review of facility policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents were provided with showers as scheduled for one of five residents 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.

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 scheduled shower that day.
