- Alleged Victim (AV) was care planned for showers twice weekly and was at risk for skin break down. AV's preference was to receive regular showers not bed baths. On or about September 1, 2020, AV received a full shower, on or about September 4, 2020, AV received a bed bath, on or about September 8, 2020, AV did not receive any bathing assistance, on or about September 10, 2020, AV received a full shower. A skin assessment was completed on September 1, 2020 and September 9, 2020 that reviled AV's skin condition worsened during that time despite regular treatment. Facility Management acknowledged that there were times staff did not shower AV because they were to busy, which was not a valid excuse. The facility failed to provide AV assistance with bathing which is a violation or resident rights, is neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
