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.

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.
