Summary
Facility staff failed to provide scheduled showers to a resident who was dependent on staff for personal hygiene and bathing. Medical record review showed that the resident, who had multiple diagnoses including anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, and other chronic conditions, was only documented as receiving showers on two occasions in July and none in August. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment indicated the resident required staff assistance for bathing. Facility policy required residents to be scheduled for bathing two times per week, but documentation and staff interviews confirmed that this did not occur for the resident in question during the specified period.
