Summary
A deficiency was identified when a resident did not receive showers according to their stated preference, as documented in their care plan, which indicated a preference for showers twice per week. Review of the resident's shower records over a 96-day period showed the resident received only 12 showers, with significant gaps of 27 and 26 days between some showers. Interviews with staff confirmed that the resident sometimes went a week and a half between showers, and there was uncertainty regarding documentation accuracy. Only one documented refusal was noted during the review period, indicating that missed showers were not due to resident refusal.
