Summary
Facility staff failed to provide scheduled bathing assistance to a resident who was totally dependent on staff for activities of daily living due to hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a cerebral infarction. The resident was care planned and assessed as dependent for bathing, with showers scheduled for Mondays and Thursdays. Despite requests from the resident's representative, documentation showed that the resident did not receive showers on several scheduled days between admission and discharge. The Director of Nursing confirmed that staff did not administer showers as scheduled on these dates.
