odors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 10:50am with Resident #1 revealed that she wishes she could get showers more often because the last time she received a shower was a week ago. She stated that she only gets showers on Tuesdays and Thursdays but an additional shower on Saturday would be nice as well. She stated that there has to be 2 staff help her because they use the Lift to get her out of bed and a lot of the time there are not enough aides to help. She stated that not getting her showers makes her feel dirty.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 2/5/25 at 12:45pm with the ADON she stated that she has worked here for a couple of years and that CNA's conduct showers for residents by the list of names of people needing showers located in the shower room. The CNA's chart the shower in PCC as well as do a paper skin assessment and turn that into the charge nurse. She stated that it is very important for resident's skin integrity as well as the overall health of the resident to receive their showers according to schedule. Resident #1 has refused showers in the past but is not one that the ADON will generally receive report that resident refused. During an interview on 2/5/2025 at 12:51pm with CNA A she stated that she works the 6am-2pm shift, and that Resident #1 receives showers on the 2pm-10pm shift. The reason her name shows up for the shower tasks multiple times for Resident #1 is because CNA A is documenting that the shower did not occur during her shift because that is not the residents' schedule. During a telephone interview on 2/5/2024 at 2:07pm with CNA B who works the 2-10pm shift, stated that she has worked at the facility since 11/2024. She stated that baths and/or showers are documented on shower sheets and turned into the charge nurse. The shower schedule is posted inside the shower room. Sometimes they are short staffed and sometimes she feels that they (CNA's) just run out of time during their shift to complete all their tasks. She stated that she works with Resident #1 and Resident #1 does not refuse showers. She also stated that Resident #1 must utilize the Lift and that also required needing a second staff to assist with transfers, which makes it harder to bathe her if there are not enough people. During an interview on 2/5/2025 at 2:11pm with CNA C and CNA D with the assistance of a Spanish speaking interpreter revealed that CNA C does not regularly work on the hall where Resident #1 lives. However, she is aware that Resident #1 requires a 2 person assist to use the mechanical lift. CNA C stated that she sometimes must work 1 hallway on 1 side of the building as well as another hallway on the other side on the same night and she is constantly having to go back and forth and tend to a lot of resident needs. CNA C and CNA D both stated that they feel there is not enough staff during the 2-10pm shift to complete all the tasks for all the residents in the facility, they can try to do someone's shower but if a 2nd person is not available to help with a shower for someone who uses the mechanical lift the shower may not get done. During an interview on 2/5/2025 at 2:45pm with the ADM she stated that her expectation is that on the residents' shower day the resident is to receive their shower, if the resident is not available, they should be able to receive their shower at a different time to make up the missed shower. She stated a negative outcome of the resident not receiving showers as ordered could be skin issues, body odor, and loss of dignity. She stated that administrative nurses are ultimately responsible for ensuring showers and documentation get done. When asked if she felt the facility was short staffed, she stated that she does not feel they are shorthanded, but there has been a time or two that staff have felt they are shorthanded, and she had seen administrative nurses help with showers during those
