Summary
The facility failed to revise the care plan for one resident after repeated refusals of showers were documented. Record review showed that the resident was offered showers twelve times and refused six of those offers over a three-month period. Despite this pattern, the resident's care plan, which indicated a need for partial/moderate assistance with bathing, was not updated to reflect the refusals or to include interventions staff could use to encourage showering. This deficiency was confirmed by the Regional Nurse Consultant during an interview, who acknowledged that the care plan did not address the resident's refusals or outline staff actions to address the issue.
