care and activity with interventions that included providing favorite items and preferences and having family
and close friends involved in discussions about care.

In an interview on 11/21/24 at 1:55 PM, Patient #1 stated he admitted to the nursing facility for rehabilitation
to regain his strength after a hospital stay. He stated he resided at the nursing facility for about 10 days and
did not receive the best care. Patient #1 stated a staff wiped his lower legs and abdomen off with a wet
wipe on one occasion; however, he never received a full shower or bed bath during his entire stay. He
stated staff informed him that he would have to be transferred using a mechanical lift due to his large size
for all care/treatment. Patient #1 stated he was very anxious about getting on the mechanical lift and may
have refused it once. However, he later informed staff that he would get on it. Patient #1 stated even after
agreeing to get on the mechanical lift, staff never attempted to transfer him for a shower or provide a bed
bath. He stated not being bathed made him more concerned about the wounds on his body, although he
was receiving wound care. Patient #1 stated he also was not provided toiletries or a setup for him to brush
his teeth daily as he would have liked. Patient #1 stated that made him feel ashamed and unclean. He
stated his friends would help as much as they could when they visited.
In an interview on 11/21/24 at 03:02 PM, CNA A stated she worked at the facility for about one month. She
stated she sometimes worked with Patient #1 and his shower days were every Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday. CNA A stated she worked with Patient #1 on 11/15/24 and she initially stated she took the patient to
the shower room to shower him. When asked if she used a mechanical lift to transfer the patient, she stated
No, then said she must have given him a bed bath. CNA A stated she marked Patient #1's ADL task sheet
in the electronic health record as not applicable for his shower and stated it was a mistake. CNA A stated
Patient #1 was able to complete oral care independently, so she never assisted him with it. CNA A stated
she recalled seeing a toothbrush, toothpaste, and basin in his room. CNA A stated staff would have to
provide water for the basin if a patient was unable to get out of bed and she could not recall if she did so.
CNA A stated Patient #1 never complained to her about not receiving a shower/bed bath or oral care. CNA
A stated most day there were enough staff to accommodate all patients and denied concerns that any
patients were being neglected.

In an interview on 11/21/24 at 03:15 PM, the Interim DON stated staff were expected to provide all patients'
showers or baths on scheduled days. The DON stated if a patient refused, the aides were supposed to
notify the nurse so they could offer alternatives and ask about concerns. The Interim DON stated they
would involve the family if refusals were persistent. The Interim DON stated staff were expected to
document all encounters, whether the task was completed or refused.

In an interview on 11/22/24 at 10:58 AM, CNA B stated she worked at the facility for about 5 months. She
stated she sometimes worked with Patient #1. CNA B stated Patient #1 required a 2-person assist with
most care, but he was able to help some. CNA B stated she recalled giving the patient a bed bath one day
but could not remember the date. She stated there was another day Patient #1 was due for a shower or
bath, but the facility was short-staffed, and he was unable to get it during the morning shift. CNA B stated if
they were unable to provide a shower due to being short-staffed, they would inform the oncoming staff so
they could provide it. CNA B stated she could not recall if she informed the oncoming staff that Patient #1
did not receive a shower or bath on that day. CNA B stated it was important for patients to receive their
showers or baths as scheduled to keep the body clean from bacteria and prevent odor.
In an interview on 11/22/24 at 11:39 AM, the Administrator stated the expectation was for the staff to
document each time a patient received a shower/bath. The Administrator stated a patient had the right to
refuse showers or baths, but it also needed to be documented. She stated the facility did not use paper
shower sheets and documented all ADL tasks in the electronic health record. The Administrator stated not
providing hygiene care to patients could place them at risk for infections and further skin breakdown.
In a further interview on 11/22/24 at 1:35 PM, the Interim DON stated the risk of not providing patients with
proper ADL care could place them at risk of skin breakdown, dignity issues, and infection.
Record review of the facility's policy titled Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), Supporting, revised 8/2024,
reflected in part the following:
Policy Statement: Residents will be provided with care, treatment and services as appropriate to maintain
or improve their ability to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs).
Residents who are unable to carry out activities of daily living independently will receive the services
necessary to maintain good nutrition, grooming and personal and oral hygiene.
