Marshfield Care Center: Resident Rights Violations - MO
The Director of Nursing told inspectors on November 6 that she made the shower schedule for staff every day. She also told them that when the new corporation took over the facility, it eliminated the position of the dedicated shower aide. The work fell to floor aides, who on some days numbered just three for 48 residents. "A lot of improvements need to be made related to showers," she said.
The Assistant Director of Nursing said she had no idea showers weren't being completed until she went searching for shower sheets that same day. She didn't find as many as she would expect or like to see.
The system the facility had in place was layered enough to look serious on paper. Aides were to initial a shower sheet when each bath was done, hand it to the charge nurse, who would sign off and check for any skin concerns, and then the sheet would go into a scan pile to eventually be entered into records. The problem was that when staff called out, and many did, the showers didn't happen. The sheets never made it to the charge nurse. Nobody caught it.
The interim administrator acknowledged residents were supposed to receive showers twice a week, or more often if that was their preference or care plan. He said he did not like seeing that residents had gone weeks without one.
No one disputed that it was happening. The DON said it, the ADON said it, the administrator said it. What none of them said was how long it had been going on before anyone noticed the shower sheets weren't there.
