Failure to Provide Scheduled Showers for Dependent Resident
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to ensure a dependent resident received bathing/showers at least twice weekly as required. Record review for Resident C, who had dementia and was cognitively impaired, showed a care plan updated on 1/7/26 indicating the resident required assistance with ADLs, including mobility and personal care. The Quarterly MDS dated 2/27/26 documented that the resident needed partial to moderate staff assistance with toileting hygiene, dressing, personal hygiene, and bathing. Facility Point of Care documentation from 2/4/26 through 3/24/26 indicated the resident was scheduled to receive showers on Thursdays and Sundays, but there was no bathing documented on 3/1/26, 3/12/26, and 3/19/26. Corresponding shower sheets for those dates were also missing. During interview, the ADON confirmed she could not locate completed shower sheets for those dates and stated the resident had been mistakenly left off the shower schedule on 3/12/26 and did not receive a shower on that date. This citation relates to Intake 2960382 and violations of 410 IAC 16.2-3.1-38(a)(3) and 410 IAC 16.2-3.1-38(b)(2).
