Failure to Provide and Document Personal Hygiene ADL Care
Penalty
Summary
Facility staff failed to provide activities of daily living (ADL) care, specifically personal hygiene, to one resident who was unable to perform these tasks independently. Review of the resident's ADL records for March and May 2025 showed that personal hygiene tasks such as combing hair, brushing teeth, and washing/drying face and hands were not documented as provided on several day and evening shifts, as indicated by blank spaces in the records. Interviews with a CNA confirmed that personal hygiene should be performed and documented every shift, and the facility's policy requires assistance with ADLs for residents unable to perform them independently. The administrator was made aware of the concern, and no further information was provided prior to exit.
