The facility failed to ensure Resident #10 was provided a shower per his preference instead of bed baths. This failure could place dependent residents at risk for feelings of depression, lack self-determination and decreased quality of life.

He stated that he was lying on his T-shirt because he didn't want to lay on his pillow without its case.

F 0655 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 8/21/24 at 10:55 AM, LVN C said she had worked at the facility for one and a half years and normally worked the 6 AM-6 PM shift. LVN C said the admitting nurse was responsible for completing the Baseline Care Plan. LVN C said the purpose of Baseline Care Plan was so staff knew what the resident was there for and what kind of care the resident needed, so everyone was on the same page to ensure the resident was getting the care that they needed. LVN C said if the Baseline Care Plan was not completed, staff would not know how to treat the resident effectively. LVN C said the Baseline Care Plan showed what medications the resident was, what the resident's discharge plans were, if they were a fall risk, what amount of assistance the resident needed, and any special needs or care the resident may need so staff can provide effective care. LVN C said if a resident had a feeding tube and/or a urinary catheter and the Baseline Care Plan was not completed, staff may not know how to care for them. During an interview on 8/21/24 at 11:19 AM, the ADON said the admission nurse was responsible for completing the Baseline Care Plan. The ADON said the purpose of Baseline Care Plan was to start developing the care of the resident and how the facility was going to take care of the resident, and to initiate the discharge plan or if the resident planned to reside long-term. The ADON said if there was no Baseline Care Plan, it would be difficult to communicate to the staff and family on how the facility was going to meet the resident's care needs. The ADON said nurse management, consisting of the ADON, DON, Treatment Nurse, MDS Nurse or anyone on the IDT team) was responsible for ensuring the Baseline Care Plan was completed. During an interview on 8/21/24 at 1:11 PM, the DON said the nurses were responsible for completing the Baseline Care Plan. The DON said the purpose of the Baseline Care Plan was to ensure that all parties knew how to care for the resident when the resident first arrived to the facility initially before the comprehensive care plan was built. The DON said the ADON or herself followed up behind the nurses to ensure the Baseline Care Plan was completed. The DON said the risk to the resident if there was not a Baseline Care Plan would be maybe the information might not get to the CNAs on what the resident required for care to meet their needs. The DON said nurses could visibly see a feeding tube or a foley catheter so they would know how to care for those, even if there was not a Baseline care Plan. Requested a policy for Baseline Care Plans on 8/21/24 at 1:25 PM from the DON. During an interview on 8/21/24 at 1:29 PM, the ADM said he would expect the Baseline Care Plan to be completed within 48 hours of admission. The ADM said the Baseline Care Plan was for the staff to know what care the resident needed. The ADM said the ADON and DON were responsible for ensuring the Baseline Care Plans were completed, along with the charge nurse. The ADM said the staff would not know the resident as well as they should know them if there was no Baseline Care Plan. On 8/21/24 at 1:46 PM, the DON said they did not have a policy on Baseline care plans.
