Summary
The facility failed to provide scheduled showers or baths to a resident who was cognitively intact but dependent on staff for bathing assistance. According to facility policy, staff are required to document when a shower is provided and notify a supervisor if a resident refuses care. Review of the resident's care plan and bathing records showed that the resident was scheduled to receive showers or baths twice weekly, but there was no documentation that these were offered or provided on two specific dates. The resident expressed dissatisfaction about not receiving scheduled showers, and the DON confirmed the lack of documentation and evidence of refusals for those dates.
