32 | Regarding the allegation of staff do not ensure dental hygiene assistance is provided to resident, RP stated that the staff are neglecting R1s dental hygiene by not brushing R1s teeth daily.
According to S2, R1 is being assisted with dental hygiene. 5 days in a week when S2 is on schedule. Hospice helped with toothbrush. S3 shared that, yes to dental hygiene not provided because R1’s refusing. When family member (F1) is here R1 is different but F1 speaks the language R1’s talking. F1 tries to give R1 the brush but he/she just sees it and puts it down. S3 tries to help him but he/she smacks his/her hands. Even with shaving. If R1 doesn’t want it then S3 leaves R1 alone and can’t force him/her. S3 will try it again but R1 doesn’t want to. S3 tries 3-4 times before. Normally S3 tells to the medtech when R1 refuses. S4 adds that with R1, they brush his/her teeth in the shower room because it’s hard to do it in the bathroom sink. S5 shared that it’s impossible to brush R1s teeth. R1 doesn’t like it. R1 will kick and spit out the cream. S6 mentioned that R1 would put the caregivers fingers when they try to brush his/her teeth. R1 is aggressive. At first, yes S6 helps R1 but he/she doesn’t want them to help him/her.
Regarding the allegation that Facility is not providing resident with shower services based on admission agreement, RP stated that the facility staff doesn't shower R1. R1 should be getting 2 additional showers from the facility per the agreement. On Thursdays hospice comes to also assist with showers. Other than that from what RP sees Thursday and Friday R1s hair is not greasy because Hospice comes on Thursdays for showers. They are supposed to give R1 2 additional showers per week but only Hospice is showering R1.
According to interviews, S1 shared that Hospice provides 2 showers per week and staff assist the hospice. They always assist hospice because with his behavior he is very hard and unpredictable. S3 stated that showers right now, it’s him/her and hospice. R1 gets aggresive with showers. Hospice is giving R1 showers. Their shower schedule is Tuesday and Thursday for hospice. They’re not giving him showers because R1s shower schedule is the same day as hospice schedule. They only shower him when R1 soiled himself/herself, then they help with showers. Hospice is doing the shower.
Based on records review, for the month of June 2024, there were shower logs at least twice a week. Some of the days on record are not under the hospice schedule which are Tuesday and Thursday.
Report is reviewed and copy is provided.
