During an interview on 8/13/25 at 9:55 a.m. the DON said showers were documented in the electronic medical records. The DON said Resident #1's family would occasionally give him his showers. The DON said the CNAs did not document when the family gave Resident #1 his showers. The DON said the only place showers were documented was in the electronic medical records. The DON said some CNAs used to fill out paper showers sheets, but she had not seen any paper shower sheets in a long time. The DON said if a date of a scheduled shower was left blank then it meant the shower was not provided or not documented. The DON said there was not a way to prove a shower was given if it was not documented. The DON said if 8, 8 was documented on a scheduled shower day it indicated activity itself did not occur or family and/or non-facility staff provided care 100% of the time for that activity.

The SW said if the grievance was not resolved she would then elevate the issue to the Administrator. The SW said regarding the grievance on 4/26/25 about Resident #1 not receiving his showers that he had been receiving bed baths since the grievance had been filed. The surveyor pointed out that neither showers or bed baths were being documented as having been provided.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 1 of 2 staff (CNA C) and 1 of 5 residents (Resident #2) reviewed for infection control. The facility failed to ensure CNA C changed gloves and performed hand hygiene during Resident #2's incontinent care. These failures could place residents and staff at risk for cross-contamination, spread of infection and could potentially affect all others in the building. Findings Include:Record review of the face sheet dated 8/8/25 indicated Resident #2 was an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including senile degeneration of the brain, dementia, anxiety, and hypertension (elevated blood pressure). Record review of the MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #2 usually understood others and was usually understood by others. The MDS indicated Resident #2 had a BIMS of 05 and was severely cognitively impaired. The MDS indicated Resident #2 was dependent for toileting. Record review of the care plan last revised 4/3/25 indicated Resident #2 had an ADL self-care performance deficit with intervention including requiring extensive assistance of 2 staff members for toileting. During an observation on 8/8/25 at 1:32 p.m. CNA C performed a mechanical lift (a device designed to safely move individuals with limited mobility from one position to another, reducing risk of injury to both the patient and caregiver) transfer and incontinent care with assistance from CNA D on Resident #2. CNA C had gloves on when surveyor entered Resident #2's room. After CNA C transferred Resident #2 to her bed, she did not change her gloves or perform hand hygiene. CNA C pulled down Resident #2's pants and opened her brief. CNA C did not change gloves or perform hand hygiene. CNA C used disposable wipes to wipe Resident #2's pelvic and vaginal area. CNA C and CNA D rolled Resident #2 on her side and CNA C rolled the wet brief and mechanical lift pad up. CNA C did not change her gloves or perform hand hygiene. CNA C used disposable wipes to wipe Resident #2's bottom. CNA C did not change gloves or perform hand hygiene. CNA C put clean brief under Resident #2. CNA C and CNA D rolled Resident #2 on to her other side. CNA D removed the rolled up wet brief and mechanical lift pad and bagged the items in separate trash bags. CNA C rolled Resident #2 back on to her back and fastened the clean brief. CNA C changed Resident #2 into clean clothing. During an interview on 8/8/25 at 1:50 p.m. CNA C said gloves should be changed when providing care and going from dirty to clean or from one area to another. CNA C said she probably should have changed her gloves after transferring Resident #2 and before starting incontinent care. CNA C said she should have changed her gloves after wiping Resident #2 and before putting on a clean brief. CNA C said she did not change her gloves or perform hand hygiene while providing care because she was nervous with the surveyor watching her. CNA C said the importance of changing gloves and proper hand hygiene was to prevent the spread of bacteria and for infection control. During an interview on 8/13/25 at 11:15 am the DON said during incontinent care she expected staff to change their gloves and perform hand hygiene after removing the dirty brief and cleaning the resident prior to putting on a clean brief and changing the resident into clean clothes. The DON said she expected staff to change gloves and perform hand hygiene after performing a mechanical lift transfer and prior to providing incontinent care. The DON said the importance of changing gloves and performing hand hygiene was to prevent cross contamination and for infection control. Record review of the facility's undated Fundamentals of Infection Control Precautions policy indicated, A variety of infection control measures are used for decreasing the risk of transmission of microorganisms in the facility.Hand hygiene continues to be the primary means of preventing the transmission of infection.
