Summary
Facility staff failed to ensure that a resident's personal hygiene needs were met by not offering or providing scheduled showers. Medical record review and staff interviews revealed that the resident, who required maximal assistance for bathing and had adequate cognitive ability, was scheduled to receive showers every Wednesday and Saturday. Documentation showed that from early December through late January, the resident only received two showers and did not receive any showers during the entire month of December. The Director of Nursing was unable to locate shower documentation sheets when questioned about the concern.
