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 ensure a resident who was unable to carry out
activities of daily living received necessary services to maintain grooming and personal hygiene for 1 of 5
residents (Resident #1) reviewed for ADLS. The facility failed to provide hair care to Resident #1 which
resulted in a large hair mat at the back of her head that had to be cut out on 11/11/25. The facility failed to
provide showers or baths to Resident #1 in compliance with their shower/bath schedule. This failure could
place residents at risk of a decline in hygiene, at risk of skin breakdown, level of satisfaction with life, and
feelings of self-worth. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 11/25/25
indicated she was an [AGE] year old female, admitted on [DATE], and her diagnoses included cognitive
communication deficit (difficulties in communication that arise from underlying cognitive impairments),
muscle wasting and atrophy (thinning or loss of muscle mass), Parkinson's (movement disorder), diabetes
(condition that affects blood sugar levels), dementia (decline in cognitive function), major depressive
disorder (mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and a loss of interest), and need for
assistance with personal care. Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE]
indicated she was able to make herself understood and understood others and was cognitively intact
(BIMS-13). No rejection of care was noted in the 7 day look back period. She was dependent for
showers/baths. She required partial/moderate assistance with personal hygiene (combing hair). Record
review of Resident #1's care plan dated 06/29/23 indicated she had an ADL self-care performance deficit
and limitations in physical mobility related to fatigue/malaise/weakness, and limited
mobility/ROM/musculoskeletal impairment. Interventions included extensive assistance by 2 staff with
bathing/showering at least 3 times weekly and as necessary. There was no intervention specific to hair
care. Record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 11/18/25 indicated she refused showers and
preferred bed baths. Family Member A wanted Resident #1 to have a shower. Interventions included notify
Family Member A for refusals to assist with encouraging resident to take showers. There was no focus for
hair care refusals or interventions. Record review of Resident #1's ADL personal hygiene record dated
10/28/25 through 11/25/25 indicated she required 1 to 2 person physical assist for ADL-Personal Hygiene.
There was no documentation for 10/31/25, 11/01/25[, 11/06/25, and 11/14/25. There were no refusals
noted. There was no documentation specific to hair care. Record review of Resident #1's bath/shower

additional Comprehensive CNA Shower Review sheets provided for review. Record review of nurse
progress notes from 11/01/25 through 11/25/25 indicated no documentation of bath/shower refusals or hair
care refusals. Record review of a grievance submitted by Family Member A dated 11/11/25 indicated
Resident #1's hair was not being brushed, and she was not notified of Resident #1's refusals for showers.
Resident #1 was assessed with no visible signs of neglect. The facility reported the allegation of Neglect to
HHSC on 11/11/25. The facility implemented notification of Family Member A when Resident #1 refused
care, medications, and showers. The grievance was noted as resolved on 11/18/25. Record review of facility
investigation dated 11/18/25 indicated Family Member A came to the facility to visit Resident #1. She was
upset when she saw the hair was matted on the back of Resident #1's head. She alleged the facility
neglected Resident #1 and Resident #1 was not getting showers. CNA C and CNA S confirmed Resident
#1 was getting bed baths. They said she did not refuse bed baths. They stated that she would not let them
wash or brush her hair and she barely let them wash the important parts before saying okay okay okay, son
of a bitch. Staff were educated between 11/11/25 and 11/18/25 to let Family Member A know when
Resident #1 did not want to go to the shower so she could assist with encouraging Resident #1 to go to the
shower and to document refusals and notifications in PCC. Resident #1 did not feel neglected. The
allegation of neglect was unconfirmed. Observation of a picture provided to the surveyor on 11/24/25 from
(family member) showed a hair mat/ball approximately 4 inches tall and 2 inches wide (compared to a
dinner fork) that had been cut from the back of Resident #1's head on 11/11/25 (per the family member).
During an interview on 11/24/25 at 4:35 p.m., a family member said she visited Resident #1 on 11/11/25 in
the facility. She said she found a large hair mat on the back of Resident #1's head. She said the hair mat
could not be combed out. She said the hair mat was almost 4 inches tall and 2 inches wide. During an
observation and interview on 11/25/25 at 12:30 p.m., Resident #1 was lying flat in bed. She appeared clean
and had no odors. Her hair was combed. She said she preferred to lay flat because if she sat up it caused
her pain. She said she preferred bed baths over showers because she did not like to be taken out of bed.
She said she did not have her hair washed when she was in bed or had a bed bath. She said she
sometimes does not like staff to wash or comb her hair because it takes too much time from start to finish.
She said she understood that not combing her hair left her hair messy and it could develop knots that were
difficult to comb out. She could not remember which days where her shower/bath days. During an interview
on 11/25/25 at 2:09 p.m., MDS LVN N said she was responsible for developing the resident care plans. She
said Resident #1's refusals for medication and blood sugar checks were added on 01/31/24. She said
Resident #1 prefers bed baths, but the family member wanted her to have showers. She said the
intervention to call the family member for all refusals was added on 11/18/25. She said hair care refusals
were not addressed specifically. She said staff were to document all refusals and notify the charge nurse
and the charge nurse was to notify the family member. During an interview on 11/25/25 at 2:30 p.m., CNA
C said Resident #1's scheduled bath/shower days were Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. She said
sometimes there was not enough time or she refused and it was done on the next day. She said Resident
#1 refused to sit up and yells and cusses. She said Resident #1 refuses showers but tolerated bed baths.
She said when Resident #1 received a bed bath she did not have her hair washed or combed. She said
Resident #1 barely let staff wash the important areas. She said if a resident refused

missed documenting the refusals in Resident #1's chart. She said residents were at risk of skin break down
and other skin issues and infections when they did not receive shower/bath, as necessary. During an
interview on 11/25/25 at 2:40 p.m., CNA S said Resident #1's scheduled bath/shower days were Monday,

recently when notification was requested by the family member. She said she did not document Resident
#1's ADL refusals in the progress notes. She said residents were at risk of skin break down and other skin
issues and infections when they did not receive shower/bath, as necessary. During an interview on

scheduled. She said if staff were not able to complete the shower/bath then they were supposed to notify
the charge nurse or herself. She said Resident #1's scheduled bath/shower days were Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday. She said she was not notified Resident #1 did not get her shower/bath or hair care
as required. She said Resident #1 should have received her shower/bath and hair care as scheduled. She

refusals it was addressed. She was not aware the hair care was not completed. She said residents were at
risk of skin break down and other skin issues and infections when they did not receive shower/bath, as
necessary. During an interview on 11/26/25 at 8:28 a.m., LVN N said she was not aware Resident #1 was
not receiving baths, showers, or hair care. She said she did not notice Resident #1's hair was matted into a

not successful she would have called the RP and the physician if necessary. She said residents were at risk
of skin break down and other skin issues and infections when they did not receive shower/bath, as
necessary. The surveyor attempted to contact LVN T on 11/26/25 at 8:47 a.m. via phone regarding Resident
#1's ADL refusals. There was no answer, and a message was left with the surveyor's contact information.
LVN T did not respond as of the investigation exit. During an interview on 11/26/25 at 10:26 a.m., the ADON
said if Resident #1 refuses care the staff are supposed to document the refusal and then the nurse would
make the necessary notifications. She said if the nurses were not made aware of refusal for care, then
there could be skin break down and it could also affect the resident's mental health. During an interview on
