Majestic Care of Lafayette: Falsified Shower Records - IN
The inspection, completed August 28, found that CNA 13 had recorded that Resident C received a shower when the shower had not actually been given. The director of nursing said she did not know why the aide would document care that wasn't provided. She called it unacceptable.
What she did know was that this wasn't an isolated mistake. She told inspectors she had already been made aware that staff were documenting showers that hadn't been done. How long it had been happening, and how many residents were affected, the report does not say.
The facility's own procedure required a shower sheet to be completed with every shower or bed bath. If a resident refused, staff were supposed to make three separate attempts, then have the resident, the aide, and a nurse all sign the sheet documenting the refusal. The process existed precisely to create an accurate record of whether care was delivered.
Falsifying that record doesn't just distort paperwork. Bathing is a basic measure of whether a resident is being cared for at all. For residents who cannot bathe themselves, the shower sheet is often the only documentation that anyone checked.
The violation was cited at a level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm, affecting a small number of residents. Inspectors tied the finding to three separate complaint intakes filed against the facility.
The director of nursing could not explain why her aide logged care that wasn't given. Resident C did not get her shower.
