Summary
Facility staff failed to provide scheduled showers to a resident who was dependent on staff for activities of daily living (ADLs), specifically bathing. The resident reported receiving only one shower during the month of April, despite a documented preference and physician order for showers twice weekly. Instead, the resident received daily bed baths, with no documentation explaining the substitution of bed baths for showers or any record of resident refusal. Review of the treatment administration record and geriatric nursing assistant documentation confirmed the lack of scheduled showers and absence of required documentation for missed or substituted care.
