was sitting up in bed. She said she got maybe 2 baths a week, if that. She could not remember when her
last bath was.In an interview on 10/15/25 at 11:13am, the SW said Resident #17 told her before that he
was not receiving showers/baths. She said she would report it to the nurse.In an interview on 10/15/25 at
12:38pm, LVN H and LVN T, who worked the resident's hall, said the showers/baths were documented in
the EMR, under tasks. Both LVNs gave the names of 2 different residents as the only residents they could
think of who refused showers/baths, and not Resident #22, Resident #17, or Resident #24. LVN H and LVN
T said the CNAs in the morning gave the baths/showers to the A beds and the CNAs at night gave the
showers/baths to the B beds.In an interview on 10/15/25 at 12:54pm, CNA O said showers/baths were
given to the even numbered rooms on MWF and odd numbered rooms on TTS. A beds were given their
shower/bath in the morning and B beds were given theirs at night. She said they documented the
shower/bath in the EMR, and they documented the refusal in the system as well. CNA O said if a resident
refused, she told the nurse, and the nurse would talk to the resident.In an interview on 10/15/25 at 2:14pm,
LVN F said she had received complaints from residents about not getting showers/baths. She said the only
resident who refused showers/baths was a different resident than Resident #22, Resident #17, or Resident
#24. She said she felt the CNAs had enough time for showers/baths and providing care. LVN F said the
baths/showers were documented in the EMR, along with refusals. She said if residents did not get

did not get them.In an interview on 10/15/25 at 2:39pm, CNA R, who worked the resident's hall, said she
had enough time to provide showers/baths and care to residents. She said she had received complaints
from residents about not getting showers/baths, and one of the residents was Resident #17. She said she
would report it to the nurse when he would report it to her. CNA R said the showers/baths were
documented in the EMR, and the refusals were documented there also. She said if residents did not get
showers/baths they could get skin breakdown or scabies.In an interview on 10/15/25 at 3:33pm, the DON
said the baths/showers should be documented in the EMR in the tasks, along with the refusals. She said if
the resident refused, the CNA should have informed the nurse and then the nurse documented the refusal.
She said, then the nurse would call the family and see if they could convince the resident, or they would try
other interventions. The DON said if residents did not receive baths/showers they could get skin
infections.In an interview on 10/16/25 at 9:20am, Resident #22 said she had never refused a
bath/shower.In an interview on 10/16/25 at 9:22am, Resident #24 said she had not gotten a bath/shower in

review of the facility's policy and procedure on Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) dated 5/26/23 read in part:

needs and choices, ensure the resident's abilities in ADLs do not deteriorate unless deterioration is

dressing, grooming, and oral care.A resident who is unable to carry out activities of daily living will receive

Make sure that a working call system is available in each resident's bathroom and bathing area.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to adequately equip to allow residents to call for
staff assistance through a communication system which relays the call directly to a staff member or to a
centralized staff work area from each resident's bedside for 1 (Residents #35) of 6 residents reviewed for
call lights.-Residents #35 did not have her call light within reach while she was in bed.This failure could lead
to residents not being able to request and receive prompt medical care and result in injury and
harm.Record review of Resident #35's face sheet dated 10/16/2025, she was a [AGE] year-old female
originally admitted on [DATE] with medical diagnoses including vascular dementia, bipolar disorder,
generalized anxiety disorder, Alzheimer's Disease, hypertension, cognitive communication deficit and other
abnormalities of gait and mobility.Record review of Resident #35's Quarterly MDS assessment dated
[DATE], she had a BIMS score of 3 out of 15, indicating severe cognitive deficit related to memory and
thinking. Resident #35 was coded for having a walker. Resident #35 required set-up/cleanup assistance
with tasks such as toileting, oral hygiene and dressing, and mobility in bed.Record review of Resident #35's
care plan dated 10/16/2025, she had an ADL self-care performance deficit r/t impaired mobility with
resident requiring staff assistance for toileting, turning and re-positioning in bed as necessary. Resident #35
was at risk for falls r/t confusion, gait/balance problems with interventions including being sure the
resident's call light was within reach and encouraging the resident to use it as needed, the resident needed
prompt response to all requests for assistance. Observation and interview with Resident #35 on 10/14/2025
at 9:48am, revealed she was in bed and appeared well-groomed and in no distress. Resident #35 said staff
took her call light out of her room a couple of days ago, and told her they removed it because she used it
too much. The call light was observed on the floor in the middle of the room between two dressers, out of
reach of the resident in bed. LVN M was called to the room, and she put on gloves and took the call light off
the floor and gave it back to Resident #35 who wrapped it around her bedrail. LVN M said that she was the
nurse for the hall on 10/14/2025 and had been at the facility for ten months. LVN M said everyone was
responsible for putting call lights close to the residents. LVN M said Resident #35 was confused at baseline
and did not use her call light, but the light should be near her. If residents did not have call lights nearby,
then they could not call for help. LVM M said she would remind her aides to put call lights on beds. In an
interview with the DON on 10/15/2025 at 3:33pm, she said that she did monthly in-services on call lights
with staff. The DON said call lights should not be on the floor. If the lights were on the floor, residents would
not be able to call for help and residents should always have access to staff. It was a safety concern so
residents could tell staff what they needed. The DON said everyone was responsible for ensuring call lights
were within residents' reach and to answer them. A call light policy was requested by email on 10/16/2025
at 9:36am with the DON who said the facility did not have a specific call light policy.
