Failure to Provide and Document Scheduled Showers for Dependent Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide and document assistance with activities of daily living, specifically scheduled showers, for one resident. The resident had diagnoses including obesity, chronic kidney disease, and arthritis in both hips, and a Minimum Data Set assessment showed the resident had no cognitive impairment, required substantial staff assistance for showers, and was totally dependent on staff for shower transfers. Facility documentation indicated the resident was scheduled to receive showers on Tuesdays and Fridays on the evening shift. During an interview, the resident reported not having had a shower in a month, and there was no documented evidence that the resident received, was offered, or refused a shower during the previous 30 days. In a subsequent interview, the Nursing Supervisor confirmed there was no documentation that showers were offered or provided to this resident.
