Resident #1 stated, the service here is not very good. She stated she once told an aide about not receiving showers and the aide told Resident #1 she did not have time to give her a shower. Resident #1 stated she did not ask for showers very often after that because it seemed like the staff did not have time but that she was scheduled and wanted to take showers three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Resident #1 appeared clean; no odor was noted. Hair and nails appeared kept. An interview on 3/06/24 at 12:18 PM with LVN D revealed that a black binder with shower logs for all the residents was kept at the nurse's station. She stated that aides were to document in the shower log as well as electronically in the residents' daily ADL administration log when showers are offered and given to the residents. She stated Resident #1 is offered showers but sometimes refuses due to back pain. An interview on 3/06/24 at 12:35 PM with CNA A revealed she does not typically work the 100 Hall so she was not familiar with Resident #1's shower schedule but said that showers or refusal of showers should be documented in the shower log and electronically. An interview on 3/06/24 at 2:34 PM with CNA B revealed she has seen Resident #1 take showers a lot. She stated that the aides were supposed to document when they give residents showers, but some aides don't. She stated that there were many times that residents take showers and baths, and it was not documented. She stated that there were times it was not a designated shower day for a resident, but the staff would go ahead and give the resident a shower or bath. CNA B stated that when that happened, the aides often forgot to document it. She said the staff were supposed to document in the shower log binder and electronically. She stated she has given Resident #1 showers in the past.

She stated that when she is working in the facility during the day, she was not usually responsible for Resident #1's care but was aware that Resident #1 took showers/baths on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays on the 2-10 PM shower schedule. She stated she gave Resident #1 a paper to keep in her room with the days and shift of her scheduled shower days. CNA C stated the aides were responsible to document in a binder and in the electronic record under ADLs whenever the residents were given showers/baths. An interview on 3/06/24 at 3:03 PM with the ADON revealed the nurses were to oversee the CNAs. She stated that the shower documentation was an issue. The ADON stated she wanted all the showers done on every shift. She stated that she often reminds the CNAs to complete their shower sheets. The ADON stated that the nurses also remind the CNAs to complete their shower sheets. She stated the aides should document on Resident #1's electronic ADL record and the shower log if a resident received a shower or refused. The ADON stated she checks the shower sheets every Friday, at least once a week. She stated she recently initiated and implemented an in-service (training) on showering and ADLs. After

reviewing Resident #1's ADL Shower/Bath documentation, she stated she could not explain the lack of documentation for the resident. The ADON stated the expectation was that showers were offered and provided as scheduled and documented. She stated a risk of not providing showers for the residents could cause skin breakdown. The ADON stated it was also a dignity issue. An interview on 3/06/24 at 3:47 PM with the Administrator revealed that her expectation regarding resident showers/baths was that residents are offered showers/baths at the residents' preference and offered at least twice a week. She stated that she expects the aides to document the showers and baths because if it is not documented, it did not happen. The Administrator stated she recently went over the shower logs in an effort to improve this area.
