Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide bathing assistance for one
of two sampled residents (Resident 1) for two extended intervals: a five-day interval from 3/25/24 to 3/29/24
and a four-day interval from 3/31/24 to 4/3/24.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted in Resident 1 feeling emotional distress and that the facility did not support Resident
1's need for dignity.
Findings:
During a review of the admission Record (a document used to communicate basic information about a
resident) for Resident 1, undated, the Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in October
2023 with unspecified muscle weakness and paraplegia (the loss of muscle function in the lower part of the
body including both legs).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to plan care) dated
10/24/23, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had a score of 15 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status. (BIMS,
is a scoring system used to determine the resident's cognitive status in regard to attention, orientation, and
ability to register and recall information. A BIMS score of thirteen to fifteen is an indication of intact cognitive
status.) The MDS indicated Resident 1 had impairment of both upper and lower extremities, was totally
dependent on staff for transfers between surfaces and bathing, and had no behaviors of refusal of care.
During a review of Resident 1's plan of care titled, Activities of Daily Living (ADL, those activities needed for
self-care and mobility and include activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, oral care, ambulation,
toileting, eating, transferring, and communicating), dated 12/28/23, the care plan indicated Resident 1 had

During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/16/24 at 10:48 a.m., with Resident 1 Resident 1 lay in
bed with the head of bed elevated in a hospital gown. Resident 1 stated staff had not provided a shower
although Resident 1 had requested one for what seemed like weeks. Resident 1 stated personal hygiene
care was not provided as often as Resident 1 needed even after Resident 1 complained to the Director of
Nursing (DON). Resident 1 became tearful and stated the facility failure to provide bathing and hygiene
after repeated requests made Resident 1 feel like, they don't care about any of us here. Resident 1 stated
the lack of showering made Resident 1 feel the facility did not support Resident 1's dignity.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/16/24 at 11:41a.m., with the DON, Resident 1's
Bathing Record and Progress notes from 3/17/24 through 4/16/24 were reviewed. The DON stated
