Summary

The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to provide scheduled showers or complete bed baths for multiple dependent residents as documented in their clinical records and task lists. One resident with cognitive impairment, hypertension, and osteoporosis was assessed as dependent on staff for bathing and had showers scheduled every Wednesday and Sunday on dayshift. Review of this resident’s bath/shower records for December 2025 through January 2026 showed no documented evidence that a shower or complete bed bath was provided on several scheduled dates, specifically December 3, 10, 14, 21, 28, and 31, 2025, and January 11, 2026.

A second resident, with severe cognitive impairment and hemiplegia, was also dependent on staff for bathing and had showers scheduled every Tuesday and Saturday on dayshift. Review of this resident’s bath/shower records for November and December 2025 revealed no documented evidence that a shower or complete bed bath was provided on November 11, 18, 25, 2025, and December 6, 2025. A third resident, with severe cognitive impairment and dementia, required supervision and touch assistance for bathing and had showers scheduled every Tuesday and Saturday on dayshift. Review of this resident’s records showed no documented evidence of a shower or complete bed bath on a scheduled date in December 2025. The Interim DON confirmed there was no documentation that these residents were offered, refused, or received their scheduled showers or complete bed baths on the identified dates.
