Optalis Canton: Abuse Protection Failures - MI
The man, identified in inspection records only as Resident 111, told a licensed practical nurse that he wanted to be shaved on days he gets cleaned up. By November 25, a certified nursing aide named CNA K observed that he had a full beard and told inspectors it did not look like he had been shaved since admission.
When a federal inspector interviewed Resident 111 on December 1, he had just been shaved. He was smiling and grinning during the conversation.
The inspection was a complaint survey. Inspectors cited the facility for failing to provide grooming assistance to a resident who could not carry out those tasks independently, a deficiency rated as causing minimal harm or potential for actual harm.
At the exit conference that afternoon, the nursing home administrator and director of nursing did not offer additional documentation or information when given the opportunity.
The facility's own policy, dated December 2023, stated that residents unable to carry out daily living activities independently would receive services to maintain good grooming and hygiene, and that the level of assistance needed would be documented in each resident's care plan.
Resident 111 said he wanted to be shaved. Nobody had.
