observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure 1 (Resident #1) of 5 residents had the
right to be treated with respect and dignity.CNA A did not provide Resident #1 with a shower when he
asked to be assisted with a one.This failure placed the residents at risk of not receiving the care and
services to meet their needs, and therefore not respecting their dignity. Findings included:Review of an
undated face sheet for Resident #1 reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His
diagnoses included a nontraumatic cerebral hemorrhage in the cortical hemisphere ( bleeding in the brain
without external injury), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung disease that makes it difficult to

rhythm), metabolic encephalopathy (brain's function that is affected by body's metabolism), convulsions,
cerebral infarction (stroke), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), presence of a cardiac pacemaker, presence of
a prosthetic heart valve, dementia, and adjustment disorder with depressed mood.Record review of
Resident #1's Quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment, dated 09/05/25, reflected a BIMS score of 8,
which indicated moderate cognitive impairment. Resident #1 used a manual wheelchair for mobility and
was dependent on staff for all of his activities of daily living, including showers, incontinent care, and
chair/bed-to-chair transfers (including a wheelchair). Record review of Resident #1's Care Plan, dated
08/07/25, reflected,Focus: Resident #1 has an ADL self-care performance deficit related to intracerebral
hemorrhage, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, congestive heart failure, atrial
fibrillation, encephalopathy, Transient ischemic attacks (stroke) and benign prostatic hypertrophy(enlarged
prostate gland). Interventions: Resident #1 required limited to extensive assistance with one staff member
with showers and provide a sponge bath when a full bath or shower cannot be tolerated.A telephone
interview on 11/19/25 at 2:45 PM with Resident #1's RP revealed the facility was not providing his care, and
Resident #1 smelled like urine when coming back from a doctor's appointment. The RP stated Resident #1
had not been taking showers which should be every other day or three times per week. She further stated
Resident #1 told her facility staff did not shower him because he was too difficult to shower. The RP stated
she did not have proof of this, but she had observed him being smelly. An observation on 11/20/25 at 10:30
AM of Resident #1 revealed him sitting up in his wheelchair in his room. Resident #1 was wearing a white
T-shirt and blue shorts. There was a strong urine-type of odor near the resident and the bed. In an interview
on 11/20/25 at 10:30 AM with Resident #1, he said the staff were not giving him a shower that day. He
stated he had urine on the bed, and on his clothing. He stated they had changed the bed, but he had not
been changed or showered. Resident #1 stated the lady in charge (couldn't recall her name) was mean and
ugly as hell and treated other people the same way. Resident #1 stated he asked for a shower that
morning, and CNA A told him it was not his day for a shower, and that he got showers on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays. Resident #1 further stated CNA A

told him he should have taken a shower on his scheduled day. Resident #1 stated he could not even go to
the dining room without feeling dirty and smelling like urine. Resident #1 stated it made him feel like he was
a nobody, and he felt neglected.Review of Resident #1's Shower Sheet dated 11/20/25, reflected he had
received a shower on 11/16/25, 11/18/25, and 11/19/25.In an interview on 11/20/25 at 3:50 PM with the
DON, she said Resident #1's shower should have been done, and that was unacceptable, especially since
he had an odor. The DON said the policy for providing showers to the residents included three scheduled
shower days, three times per week. She further stated if a resident was requesting a shower off cycle, they
should be getting that done for the residents. The DON stated the CNAs, the charge nurse, and herself
were responsible for ensuring residents were clean and groomed. She further stated it was important to
assist the residents with getting their showers to keep their skin clean, for their dignity, hygiene, and health.
She started the resident could feel uncared for, unworthy and unkempt, and these feelings could spark
anger and depression. The DON stated she was ultimately responsible for monitoring to ensure that staff
were providing ADL care to the residents, and stated she pulled reports and talked to the residents during
rounds. She stated she did not know why a resident would have been left in dirty clothing and had an odor.
She stated if a resident were asking for a shower off cycle, the staff should have brought it to her attention,
and she could have provided the shower to Resident #1 herself. The DON stated that by the end of the day
shift, CNA A had given Resident #1 a shower, but that should have been done in a timelier manner. Review
