32 | Staff interviewed stated that R1 is approached 2-3 times weekly for shower assistance but refuses assistance often. Staff stated R1 has shown to have a favorite staff and would request specific assistance only from them. Interviews showed that due to R1's continued shower refusal, the staff had begun logging the assistance refusal. LPA reviewed the log started on 3/1/25 and shows multiple shower refusals by R1 since then. File review of R1's appraisal shows that R1 only requires assistance to get into a shower but is able to shower themselves. R1 confirmed this via interview. LPA was unable to find evidence that staff refused or neglected to shower R1. Based on interviews, observations, and file review; although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
