Is there a rule/law/guidance/statute that dictates how many showers a week a resident should get? At my nursing home we have to give 2 showers a week to each one but my Dad is in a nursing home in another state and he practically has to beg to get one every other week. Today, again, he did not get his shower. The CNA told him she "forgot'. I told him he should report it to the nurse but he doesn't want to complain and cause trouble.
I'm hesitating to call the home cause I don't want to make any accusations until I know what the rules are. I know there must be some governing body that determines these things but I'm not sure what it is.
Thanks for any feedback!
