F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some for less than a month. She said it was a problem that he was not getting showers. She said the facility notified the family. She said his refusals were referred to the ADON. She said if a resident refused to shower, then another nurse talked with him. She said refusal of showers should be in the Care Plan . Interview on 02/01/2024 at 12:25 PM with LVN A said she did not know how often Resident #119 refused his showers. She said the shower tech told her he refuses often. She said shower refusals should be in the resident's Care Plan if a resident refused often enough . Interview on 02/01/2024 at 12:20 PM with the MDS Coordinator. He said regarding showers and baths, there was a Care Plan for ADLs that included hygiene. He said once it was determined there was an issue with something, then a behavioral plan for resistance or refusal of care was added to the Care Plan. He said shower refusals were added to the Care Plan when there was a history of that behavior and when he became aware of it. He said when they become aware and that it is not a onetime incident, the behavior would be added to the resident's Care Plan. He said he is worked at the facility for 10 years and his role at the facility was MDS coordinator. He said he worked Monday-Friday, 8 AM-5 PM. He said he was familiar with Resident #119. He said he knew he was admitted in the beginning of January for a stroke, and he did his comprehensive care plan. He said he became aware of today that he was refusing his showers after this state surveyor had requested shower logs for the resident. He said he did not know how long the resident had refused showers. He said policy or procedure for shower refusals was once staff were notified, the Clinical Interdisciplinary team meet and look at the incident/behavior from care standpoint. They notified RPs, and PCP, and arranged for a Care Plan meeting with the resident and try to determine the cause of refusal and work at resolving the issue. He said he did not know why he was not told sooner. He said when he did the resident's initial MDS that shower refusal behavior was not present. He said he was last in-serviced on care plans last year, about Springtime. He said the DON was responsible for ensuring Care Plans were implemented. He said the risk to residents was there was potential for them not receiving adequate care, and hygiene there could be adverse effects of health and skin. He said the worst thing that can happen to the resident when proper protocols are not practiced was the resident could receive inadequate care, and there was potential for injury. He said he thought the failure occurred in this situation, for him due to a lack of communication. In an interview on 02/01/2024 at 12:29 PM with the DON, she said she worked at the facility since 12/18/23. She said she worked 7 AM- 4 PM, Monday - Friday. She said she was not familiar with Resident #119. She said she had not heard anything negative, no complaining, and his documents said he was alert, but when talking with him, you can see he needed help. She said she mostly read papers, and refusals of the residents. She read over orders, printed reports on refusals of medications and supplements. She said she made sure Care Plans were accurate regarding refusal of medications or supplements. She said she depended on her ADONs for help. She said she was responsible for reports and the follow up on the reports. She said policy for Care Plans was if the resident was new, they needed an initial Care Plan, and the MDS Coordinator entered the Care Plans. She said she got more involved when there was a fall, refusal of medications/supplements, and wounds. She said if someone had an episode, or psychological issues then she would add that to the Care Plan. She said if a resident's behavior was brought to her attention, then the facility would Care Plan for that. She said there were a lot of refusals, but they are not shown in the documentation. She said she had heard recently in the last couple of days about Resident #119 refusing showers. She said she and the MDS Coordinator talked about Resident #119, and by printing out the report they saw that the resident refused, and it needed to be on his Care Plan.

She said she would change the process of the shower tech to tell her personally about residents who had shower refusals. She said the process was that the Shower Tech should notify the ADON when there was a refusal for showers. She said she was last in-serviced on Care Plans last month. She said the nurse management team was responsible for ensuring protocol was followed regarding including refusals to the resident's Care Plan. She said the risk to the resident if policy or protocol was not followed was the resident may not get the best care.
