Summary
A dependent resident with diagnoses including heart failure, kidney disease, anxiety, and diabetes, who was assessed as moderately impaired in daily decision-making and requiring assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), did not receive proper assistance with bathing. Observation revealed the resident had greasy hair, and a review of shower records showed the resident had not received a bath or shower over a nine-day period, with no documented refusals for those dates. The care plan indicated the need for assistance with ADLs, but there was a lack of documentation and provision of bathing care as required.
