*On 11/30/21, Resident 2 was noted to throw a resident out of his/her wheelchair;

*On 12/03/21, the resident had placed his/her hands down another resident's shirt; and

*An incident report dated 12/12/21 noted Resident 2 grabbed a resident and "threw" him/her to the ground.


There was no documented evidence the facility reported the resident to resident altercations.


Resident 2 was observed during the survey on 03/14/22 and 03/15/22 to be sitting in the common areas of the facility or engaged in an activity.


The failure to report inappropriate touching and resident to resident altercations as abuse or suspected abuse was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (RN) and Staff 4 (Regional Director) on 03/15/22 at 2:07 pm. The incidents were reported to the local SPD office per request of the surveyor.  Confirmation the incidents had been reported was received on 03/15/22.




Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure incidents including unwitnessed injury falls, resident to resident altercations and sexual behaviors were thoroughly investigated to rule out abuse or neglect and reported to the local SPD office as appropriate for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2). Findings include, but are not limited to:


1. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in February 2021 with diagnoses including dementia.

3. Resident 7 was admitted to the facility in 07/2021 with diagnoses including dementia, congestive heart failure and lower back pain.


A hospice visit note dated 06/13/22 was transcribed by a facility staff into the resident's progress notes on 06/14/22. It read in part, "I saw bruise on [his/her] back."


On 06/14/22, Staff 18 (RN) documented in a progress note, "RN reviewed [hospice] note and observed area to back/side in which a bruise is reported."


The bruise represented an injury of unknown cause for which the facility was required to report to the local Department office as suspected abuse unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably concluded and documented the injury was not the result of abuse/neglect.


There was no documented evidence the facility immediately investigated the injury and concluded it was not the result of abuse, nor did the facility report the injury to the local office as suspected abuse.


The need to ensure injuries of unknown cause were investigated immediately with documentation of how abuse was reasonably ruled out or, if abuse could not be ruled out, the injury was reported to the local office, was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 4 (Regional Director) and Staff 18 on 07/07/22. They acknowledged the findings.


The surveyor requested the facility report the injury of unknown cause to the local Department office. Confirmation the incident was reported was received on 07/07/22 at 3:07 pm.


Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure resident to resident altercations were immediately reported to the local SPD office for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 6 and 10), and failed to immediately investigate an injury of unknown cause, and document the injury was not the result of abuse or neglect, or report the injury to the local SPD office as suspected abuse for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#7). This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to:


1. Resident 6 was admitted to the facility in 02/2018 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease. During the acuity interview on 07/05/22 it was reported Resident 6 was involved in a resident-to-resident altercation.


Progress notes and incident reports indicated between 04/30/22 and 07/05/22, Resident 6 had two documented incidents of resident-to-resident altercations on 05/13/22 and 05/21/22.


The altercations represented incidents of abuse or suspected abuse that required reporting to local SPD office. There was no documented evidence the facility reported the incidents or took measures necessary to protect residents and prevent the reoccurrence of abuse.


The need to immediately report altercations to the local SPD office was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 4 (Regional Director) on 07/06/22 and 07/07/22.


The surveyor requested the facility self-report the resident altercations to local SPD office as suspected abuse. Verification was received prior to survey exit.


2. Resident 10 was admitted to the facility in 02/2020 with diagnosis of dementia. During the acuity interview on 07/05/22 it was reported Resident 10 was involved in a resident-to-resident altercation.


Progress notes and incident reports indicated between 04/30/22 and 07/05/22, Resident 10 had two documented incidents of resident-to-resident altercations on 04/28/22 and 05/13/22.


The altercations represented incidents of abuse or suspected abuse that required reporting to local SPD office. There was no documented evidence the facility reported the incidents or took measures necessary to protect residents and prevent the reoccurrence of abuse.


The need to immediately report resident altercations to the local SPD office was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 4 (Regional Director) on 07/06/22 and 07/07/22.


The surveyor requested the facility self-report the resident altercations to local SPD office as suspected abuse. Verification was received prior to survey exit.

Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure resident service plans were reflective of the resident's needs and provided clear direction regarding the delivery of services, for 2 of 4 sampled residents (#s 7 and 8) whose service plans were reviewed. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to:


Resident service plans and Temporary Service Plans were reviewed, residents were observed, and residents and staff were interviewed to obtain information about the residents' current status and care that was needed and being provided by staff. The following deficiencies were identified:


1. Resident 7 was admitted to the facility in 07/2021 with diagnoses including dementia, congestive heart failure and lower back pain. The resident was receiving hospice services. The resident's record indicated a history of falls, and that s/he needed additional assistance with some ADLs following a fall on 07/06/22.


The resident's current service plan was not reflective or followed in the following areas:

* The resident now required full assistance with dressing rather than standby assistance as noted in the service plan;

* The resident was no longer independent with transfers and ambulation and unable to safely ambulate using his/her 4-wheeled walker as noted in the service plan;

* New interventions provided by hospice dated 06/07/22 were not added to the resident's service plan and implemented; and

* The flow rate on the resident's oxygen concentrator was not set at the correct setting.


The need to ensure service plans were reviewed and updated as necessary when a resident's care needs changed was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 4 (Regional Director) and Staff 18 (RN) on 07/07/22. They acknowledged the findings.



2. Resident 8 was admitted to the MCC in 02/2022 with diagnoses including vascular dementia. During the acuity interview on 07/05/22, Resident 8 was identified as having a hip fracture, weight loss, and received hospice care.


Observations of the resident, interviews with staff on 07/05/22 through 07/07/22, and a review of the current service plan dated 04/19/22 indicated the service plan was not reflective of the resident's care needs and lacked clear instructions to staff in the following areas:

 

* Hip fracture and postoperative hip precautions;

* Recent hospital stay;

* Puree diet and thickened liquids;

* Full assist for food and fluid intake;

* Full assistance with all ADLs;

* Two-three person assist with repositioning and providing incontinence care while in bed;

* Hospice services and schedule;

* Pain areas and treatment;

* Weight loss and interventions; and

* Falls and current interventions.


The need to ensure service plans were reflective, updated, and provided clear instructions to staff was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 4 (Regional Director) and Staff 18 (RN) on 07/07/22. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

OAR 411-054-0036 (1-4) Service Plan: General


*Resident #7's service plan has been updated to reflect her current needs. These include, but are not limited to the level of assistance the resident requires with dressing, ambulation, mobility aids, and oxygen use. Additionally the resident continues to receive hospice services and requires coordination of care with hospice to ensure recommendations are implemented into the plan of care timely.


*Resident 8 -passed away


* An All Staff Inservice was conducted on 7/25/22 to discuss service planning processes, including what to report to the ED/RN/RCC, and how to effectively communicate changes observed with residents that require a service plan update.


The service planning team will review upcoming service plans with front line staff prior to updating. Once updated, service plans will be reviewed with family, POA, and the resident when possible.  


At least 2 members of the community Service Planning Team will contribute to the development of the service plan.


*During the daily clinical drill down meeting, all short term or potentially long term changes to a resident's service plan will be reviewed.


* The Executive Director will be responsible to ensure the system is in place and effective.

Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed ensure changes of condition were evaluated, monitored through resolution, and actions or interventions were identified and implemented for 2 of 4 sampled residents (#s 1 and 3) reviewed for changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to:


1. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in December 2021 with diagnoses including dementia.


Review of the facility progress notes, dated 01/01/22 through 03/14/22, the resident's 02/14/22 service plan, temporary service plans and incident reports revealed Resident 3 had falls on 01/01/22 and 02/17/22.


There was no documented evidence the facility thoroughly reviewed the incidents to determine the circumstances of the fall and there was no documented evidence the facility developed interventions to minimize further falls.


The need to ensure short term changes were evaluated, and specific resident interventions determined and documented was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (RN) on 03/15/22. They acknowledged the findings.

2. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in February 2021 with diagnoses including dementia.


The resident's 12/02/21 service plan, 12/14/21 thru 3/14/22 progress notes, temporary service plans, incident reports and physician communications were reviewed. The resident experienced multiple short-term changes lacking evaluation, monitoring at least weekly to resolution, actions or interventions determined, documented and communicated to staff in the following areas:


* 12/14/21-Non-injury fall;

* 12/21/21-Fall with facial laceration, bruising and swelling;

* 01/29/22-Hospice admission;

* 02/22/22-Two non-injury falls; and

* 03/09/22-Fall with skin injuries to the forehead and left arm.


Staff 3 (Memory Care Director/LPN) reported on 03/15/22 that she had not monitored Resident 1's facial laceration, bruising and swelling from the 12/21/21 fall weekly to resolution.


The need to ensure short term changes of condition were evaluated, monitored at least weekly to resolution, actions or interventions determined, documented and communicated to staff was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (RN) and Staff 4 (Regional Director) on 03/15/22. The staff acknowledged the findings.

4. Resident 9 was admitted to the facility in 2021 with diagnoses including vascular dementia.


On 07/06/22, the surveyor observed Resident 9 enter the medication room with a bloody right forearm. The resident appeared to have a five to six inch cut. Resident 9 stated "[dog] scratched me again." Staff 16 (MT) stated to the surveyor the blood came from a previous scratch that was scabbed over and reopened when the resident was playing with Staff 1's (ED) dog.


During an end of day meeting on 07/06/22 at 4:40 pm, Staff 1 said the dog belonged to him and he brought the dog to the facility most days. The surveyor requested an incident report, progress notes and any updated service plans related to the resident's skin injury.


Staff 1 provided the following documents:

* A late entry progress note dated 06/30/22 that noted Resident 9 had a five to six inch long scratch on his/her forearm; and

* An incident report completed on 07/06/22 that noted two injuries occurred, one on 06/30/22 and another on 07/05/22. The incident report noted the injuries were caused by the dog and that the dog's nails were trimmed on 07/05/22.


During an interview on 07/07/22 at 9:18 am, Staff 5 (PCA/MT) was not aware of the resident's skin injury and verified there was no documented evidence on the TAR which indicated the resident had received treatment on 06/30/22.


The surveyor and Staff 5 went to observe Resident 9 on 07/07/22 at 9:25 am. Resident 9 was observed to have three scratches on the right forearm approximately five to six inches in length.  The scratches were scabbed and slightly reddened.


During an interview on 07/07/22 at 10:30 am, Staff 14 (Activity Director) stated the dog came into the facility daily.  Staff 14 stated the dog was rambunctious and at times would get wild and jump up on people especially during activities that involved a ball toss.  


Resident 9 experienced a change of condition on 06/30/22 related to a skin injury.  At the time of the incident, there was no documented evidence the facility evaluated the resident to determine what actions or interventions were needed to help minimize future injuries, and implemented monitoring of the wound.


The facility developed a temporary service plan on 07/06/22 with instructions for monitoring the resident's wound and instructions for staff for monitoring the dog. In addition, a plan of correction addressing ways to minimize the dog's "rambunctious" play was outlined and dispersed to staff.


The facility's failure to respond to the change of condition was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 4 (Regional Director). Staff acknowledged the findings.



3. Resident 7 was admitted to the facility in 07/2021 with diagnoses including dementia, congestive heart failure and lower back pain. The resident was receiving hospice services. The resident's record indicated a history of falls.


The resident's record from 05/01/22 through 07/05/22 was reviewed including progress notes, hospice visit notes, the 06/2022 MAR/TAR, the current service plan dated 05/24/22, Temporary Service Plan (TSP) updates and incident reports. The facility failed to comply with rules related to changes of condition as follows:


a. A facility staff transcribed a hospice visit note into the resident's progress notes on 05/17/22. The note read in part, "patient was complaining about a stomach ache and pain in [his/her] chest. [RN case manager] and facility staff notified." The facility failed to determine and document what action or intervention was needed for the resident and failed to monitor and document on the status of the resident's condition until resolved.


b. On 05/27/22, a staff documented in a progress note that while assisting the resident with toileting, the staff observed blood in the stool. The facility failed to determine and document what action or intervention was needed for the resident and failed to monitor and document on the status of the resident's condition until resolved.


c. The resident had a fall on 06/07/22 where s/he sustained a skin tear to the right wrist and complained of severe back pain, and a fall on 06/29/22 where s/he sustained pain and redness to the top of the head an a "tear" on the back. The TSPs that were written lacked resident-specific information about the falls and injuries, lacked clear instructions for monitoring the injuries, and lacked a review of the service-planned mobility needs and fall interventions for effectiveness. There was no documented monitoring of the injuries, and the facility failed to develop and implement any new interventions to try to prevent further falls.


d. Between 06/13/22 and 06/16/22 (four days), the resident was not administered two medications prescribed for heart disease/congestive heart failure - amlodipine and furosemide. The facility failed to monitor the resident for any negative effects of not receiving the medications.


The need for the facility to develop a system for identifying and communicating about changes of condition, reviewing existing interventions for effectiveness, and ensuring clear instructions regarding interventions and monitoring were documented and communicated to staff following a change of condition was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 4 (Regional Director) and Staff 18 (RN) on 07/07/22. They acknowledged the findings.




































Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents who experienced changes of condition were evaluated, necessary actions/interventions were determined, documented, and communicated to staff, and the residents' conditions, including the effectiveness of interventions, were monitored weekly through resolution for 4 of 4 sampled residents (#s 6, 7, 8 and 9) who had documented changes of condition. Resident 8 had repeated injury and non-injury falls. Resident 6 had repeated resident to resident altercations. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to:


1. Resident 8 was admitted to the MCC in 02/2022 with diagnoses including vascular dementia. During the survey, s/he was identified with a history of falls, and a recent fall resulting in a right hip fracture.


A review of Resident 8's 04/19/22 service plan provided the following interventions:


* Staff to escort the resident to meals and activities;

* Staff to remind the resident to ask for assistance with transfers; and

* When the resident was in bed, the staff were to ensure the bed was at the lowest position.


Observations of Resident 8 throughout the survey confirmed the resident was bed bound, was a two-three person assist for repositioning and incontinence care, and was dependent on staff for all ADLs.


a. On 05/21/22, the resident had a fall and injured his/her nose. The resident was placed on alert charting for the injury, and the injury to the nose was documented as resolved on 05/31/22. However, the follow up investigation failed to document if service-planned interventions were being followed at the time of the fall, were effective, or if new interventions were needed following the fall.

 

b. On 05/25/22, staff documented that the resident had an unwitnessed non-injury fall. There was no documented evidence the facility investigated the fall, determined if new interventions needed to be developed and communicated the information to staff, and documented monitoring of the resident's condition at least weekly until resolved.

 

c. On 06/23/22, staff documented that the resident was found on the floor on his/her knees. The incident report completed on 06/23/22 noted an "apparent injury, small mark on [his/her] right ribs." The resident was placed on alert charting, and a Temporary Service Plan (TSP) noted the resident had a "small red mark on the right ribs" and instructed staff to report "any complaints of pain, any complaints of discomfort, and any observed discoloration." There was no documented evidence the facility determined if service-planned interventions were followed at the time of the fall, were effective, or if new interventions were needed following the fall. On 06/24/22, staff documented the resident had an x-ray in the facility which showed a subcapital fracture of the right hip.

 

d. On 06/25/22, staff documented that the resident had a non-injury fall. The follow up investigation failed to document if service-planned interventions were being followed at the time of the fall, were effective, or if new interventions were needed following the fall.


The resident was hospitalized on 06/25/22 for hip surgery. The facility's failure to evaluate Resident 8's fall risk, develop interventions to prevent falls, and monitor interventions for effectiveness resulted in a fall with a hip fracture.


On 07/01/22, the resident returned to the facility.

 

e. On 07/03/22, the resident was found wrapped in his/her blankets on the floor between the window and the bed. The incident report noted "frequent checks" as the follow-up action. The resident was put on alert charting, and a TSP instructed staff to monitor and report any complaints of pain, discomfort, observation of discoloration, and shortness of breath to the nurse. However, the facility failed to ensure the TSP instructed staff to provide frequent checks.  


f. On 07/04/22, the resident was found on the floor next to his/her bed, with the resident's head at the end of the bed and feet towards the head of the bed. The incident report documented "Frequent checks every thirty minutes/one hour" as the follow-up action. The resident was put on alert charting, and a TSP instructed staff to monitor and report any complaints of pain, discomfort, observed discoloration, and swelling or redness to the nurse. However, the facility failed to ensure the TSP instructed staff to provide frequent checks every thirty minutes/one hour.


The failure of the facility to evaluate the resident, review previous fall interventions to ensure they were added to the service plan and were implemented, monitor fall interventions for effectiveness, or develop new interventions to try to prevent future falls or injuries placed the resident at risk for continued falls and/or injuries.

 

The need to ensure the facility thoroughly investigated the circumstances for falls, determine if service planned interventions were implemented, were effective or if new interventions were needed, and failure to monitor and document on the resident's condition at least weekly until resolved was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 4 (Regional Director) and Staff 18 (RN) on 07/07/22. They acknowledged the findings.


2. Resident 6 was admitted to the facility in 02/2018 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease.


Review of the facility progress notes, dated 05/10/22 through 06/30/22, the current service plan, temporary service plans and incident reports identified Resident 6 had resident to resident altercations on 05/13/22 and 05/21/22.


The current service plan lacked interventions to address resident to resident altercations and there were no other documents that communicated further interventions or monitoring instructions for staff following each altercation. The resident continued to be involved in physical altercations with other residents.


The need to ensure incidents were evaluated, and specific resident interventions determined and documented was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 4 (Regional Director) and Staff 18 (RN) on 07/07/22. They acknowledged the findings.

* Resident #6 - Collaboration of care with the PCP and family regarding medication management services for the resident have occurred. A reassessment of the resident will be conducted by the RN to ensure all pharmacological and/or non-pharmacological supports implemented into the plan of care are effective.  The service plan will be reflective of any changes to the plan of care.


* Resident #7 - A reassessment of the resident's fall risk and current interventions in place to reduce the recurrence of future incidents and injuries will be completed.  The service plan will be reflective of any changes to the plan of care.


* Resident #8 - passed away


* Resident #9 - A reassessment of the resident's skin status has been conducted to ensure all skin tears have healed. Additionally, the resident's risk for skin breakdown has been updated on the resident's service plan.


* A comprehensive retraining on what types of changes of condition need to be reported and protocols for monitoring condition changes until resolution has been completed.

The RN/RCC will assure all documentation is in place and appropriate parties have been notified when necessary. Residents who experience a significant change of condition will be placed on alert charting and will move to at a minimum weekly monitoring by the facility RN until a new baseline has been established and/or the condition resolves. A significant change of condition log will be utilized to ensure all parties clearly know who is on Significant Change Monitoring by the RN.



A Daily clinical drill down meeting is conducted with the clinical team to discuss changes of condition and appropriate follow-up measures including documentation on monitoring, interventions, and service planning. Should an incident rise to a safety concern, a safety plan will be developed and implemented for all staff to review as needed.


A daily audit of alert charting has been implemented to identify any omissions in the record.


The Executive Director and RN are responsible to ensure this system is corrected.

Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the facility RN completed a significant change of condition assessment based on the condition of the resident, developed interventions and updated the service plan for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#1) who had a significant change of condition which included a decline in ADLs and mobility. Findings include, but are not limited to:


Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in February 2021 with diagnoses including dementia.


During the acuity interview on 03/14/22, it was revealed Resident 1 was a two person transfer, had experienced a decline in mobility and required an increase in ADL assistance.


The service plan, dated 12/02/21, identified the resident as independent with transfers, ambulation and one person assist with toileting, dressing, grooming and showering.


On 03/14/22 at 11:50 am, the resident was observed in a high back wheel chair in the dining room. Staff provided cues and some assist with intake of the meal. After the meal, staff provided full assist with mobility in the wheelchair. On 03/15/22 at 09:55 am Resident 1 was observed during a transfer from wheelchair to bed with a full two person assist.


Staff 10 (Personal Care Assistant (PCA)) reported on 03/14/22 at 1:00 pm that the resident was independent with transfers and ambulation until approximately a month ago. She stated Resident 1 needed a two person total assist with transfers, mobility in a wheelchair and with all ADL cares.


The resident's need for increased assistance with transfers, changes in mobility and ADL's in multiple areas, constituted a significant change of condition. There was no RN assessment completed.


The need for an RN assessment which included development of interventions, documentation of findings and updating of the service plan was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (RN) and Staff 4 (Regional Director) on 03/15/22. The staff acknowledged the findings.

Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed and documented for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#8) who experienced a significant change of condition related to weight loss. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to:


Resident 8 was admitted to the MCC in 02/2022 with diagnoses including a history of stroke and vascular dementia.

 

The resident's 04/19/22 current service plan, 05/01/22 through 07/04/22 charting notes, and weight documentation were reviewed during the survey and identified the following weights:


* 05/01/22; 160 pounds; and

* 06/01/22; 151 pounds.


Between 05/01/22 and 06/01/22, Resident 8 lost nine pounds or 5.62% total body weight in one month. This weight loss represented a significant change of condition for Resident 8, which required an RN assessment.


There was no documented evidence an RN assessment was completed for Resident 8's significant weight loss. In an interview on 07/06/22, Staff 18 (RN) confirmed there was no RN assessment.


During the survey the resident was observed to receive nutritional supplements, specially prepared meals and was assisted with eating. The resident was unable to be weighed during the survey.


The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed related to significant changes in condition and included the required components of documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 4 (Regional Director) and Staff 18 on 07/07/22. They acknowledged the findings.

Specifically, residents who are at risk for weight loss/weight gain and/or are actively experiencing weight loss or gain are to be reported to the community RN.


Staff have been re-trained on what types of risks associated with weight loss should be reported including, meal refusals, appetite changes, changes to the fit of clothing, teeth pain, denture fit/slips, etc..


Staff have been re-trained on what type of risks associated with weight gain should be reported including, decreased mobility, regularly requesting second helpings, snacks, sweets, hoarding of foods, medication changes, swelling, etc..  


A comprehensive weight tracking system for monitoring resident's weight occurs routinely on a monthly basis unless the resident has been identified as at risk for weight loss/gain. Residents who experience a 5% in 30 days,  7.5% in 90 days, and/or 10% or greater in 6 months are placed on significant change of condition monitoring for the RN to assess, develop a plan, implement interventions, and update the service plan as deemed appropriate. Residents who experience a significant change of condition related to weight loss or weight gain will be monitored at a minimum of weekly by the facility RN until a new baseline has been established and/or the condition resolves. A significant change of condition log will be utilized to ensure all parties clearly know who is on Significant Change Monitoring by the RN.



During the daily clinical drill down meeting, the clinical team will discuss weight changes and appropriate follow-up measures including documentation on monitoring, interventions, and service planning.


A monthly audit of weights will be conducted as part of the QA program in place.


The Executive Director and RN are responsible to ensure this system is corrected.

Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure delegation and supervision of special tasks of nursing care was completed in accordance with Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) Division 47 rules, for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#5) who received insulin injections by unlicensed facility staff. Findings include, but are not limited to:


According to OSBN Division 47 Administrative Rules, delegation means an RN authorizes an unlicensed person to perform tasks of nursing care and indicates the authorization in writing. The delegation process includes nursing assessment of the client in a specific situation, evaluation of the ability of the unlicensed persons, teaching the task and observing the staff demonstrate the task.


During the acuity interview on 03/14/22, Resident 5 was identified to be administered insulin injections by non-licensed staff.


Resident 5's MARs, reviewed from 02/01/22 through 03/16/22, revealed insulin had been given by Staff 5 (Personal Care Assistant (PCA)/MT) on multiple occasions.


The initial delegation for Staff 5, completed 12/24/21, lacked documentation in the following areas:


* The skills and ability of the unlicensed person;

* How frequently the resident should be reassessed by the RN, including rationale for the frequency based on the client's needs; and

* How frequently the unlicensed person should be supervised and re-evaluated, including rationale for the frequency based on the competency of the caregiver.


Additionally, there was no documentation that Staff 2 (RN) re-evaluated Staff 5 within 60 days of the initial delegation.


The need to ensure staff who administered insulin injections were delegated in accordance with OSBN Division 47 Rules was discussed with Staff 2 (RN) on 03/16/22. He acknowledged the findings. No further information was provided.

Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure RN delegation was completed in accordance with the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) Administrative Rules Division 47, for 4 of 4 sampled residents (#s 9, 11, 12 and 13) reviewed for the delegation of insulin injections by unlicensed staff. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to:


Residents 9, 11, 12 and 13 were identified as having insulin-dependent diabetes and were administered insulin injections by non-licensed staff.


On 07/06/22, the facility's RN delegation records were reviewed and revealed the following:


The previous facility delegating RN transferred delegation of the residents to Staff 18 (RN) on 06/14/22.


The transferred delegations were accepted missing the following required documentation:

* Rational for frequency of reassessment of the resident;

* Rational that task could be safely delegated to unlicensed staff; and

* Rational for the frequency at which staff would be reevaluated.


Staff 18 completed initial delegations for Residents 9, 11, 12 and 13 with five care staff. The delegations were missing the following required documentation:

 

* Nursing assessment and condition of the client to determine the client's condition was stable and predictable;

* Rational for frequency of reassessment of the resident;

* Rational that task could be safely delegated to unlicensed staff; and

* Rational for the frequency at which staff would be reevaluated.


The new delegations also included the staff would be reevaluated in 90-days instead of the required 60-days for initial delegations.


On 07/07/22, the need to ensure RN delegation was completed and maintained as required by OSBN Division 47 Administrative rule was discussed with Staff 1 (Executive Director) and Staff 18. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

OR-411-054-0034 C-282 RN Delegation and Teaching


Resident #9, #11, #12, & #13 have been reassessed by the community RN to ensure there is documented evidence on the rationale for frequency of reassessment of the resident related related to a delegated service, rationale that the task could be safely delegated to unlicensed staff; and the rationale for the frequency at which staff will be reevaluated.


Additionally, an updated RN assessment and condition

of the client has been conducted to determine whether the client is stable and predictable to be delegated. The RN will include the frequency of reassessment

of the resident and rationale that the nursing task could be safely delegated to unlicensed staff. A competency has been completed for each staff member being delegated and rationale for the frequency at which staff will be reassessed.


A delegation tracking system will be created and utilized to ensure delegations are completed timely and do not exceed the minimum time frames outlined in Division 47 of the Oregon Nurse Practice Act. The Community RN will complete the didactic reading materials on delegation in CBC in Oregon and complete the competency test.


The Community RN is responsible to ensure this system is in place per Oregon State Board of Nursing Scope and Standards. The Executive Director will consult with corporate RN and/or the appointed consultant will assist with QA to verify all components.

Resident 3 was admitted to the facility 12/2021 after right hip surgery.


During the acuity interview on 03/14/22, Resident 3 was identified to receive HH services.


The resident's progress notes dated 01/01/22 through 03/14/22, 02/14/22 service plan, Temporary Service Plans and HH visit notes dated 01/15/22 through 03/01/22 were reviewed and revealed the following:


* 01/25/22 HH OT recommendation - "Please check in with [the resident] about hip pain...seems to have increased pain with ambulation and transfers." Resident could "benefit from ice pack application to hip."; and

* 02/03/22 HH PT recommendation - "Will notify surgeon of ongoing pain...Please remember [his/her] hip precautions: no bending more than 90 [degrees], no crossing legs, no rotating... keep foot pointed out".


There was no documented evidence these recommendations were communicated to staff nor implemented.


On 03/14/22, Staff 2 (RN) confirmed the Home Health recommendations were not passed on to the staff or implemented for the provision of care for Resident 3's right hip care instruction and pain.


The need to ensure ongoing coordination of care with outside providers and implemented recommendations was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (RN) on 03/15/22. They acknowledged the findings.

Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to coordinate on-site health services with outside service providers to ensure staff were informed of new interventions, and that the service plan was adjusted, if necessary, for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#7) for whom hospice left instructions for the facility. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to:


Resident 7 was admitted to the facility in 07/2021 with diagnoses including dementia, congestive heart failure and lower back pain. The resident's record indicated a history of falls. The resident was receiving hospice services.


a. The record indicated Resident 7 had a fall on 06/07/22 in his/her room and sustained a skin tear to the right wrist and complained of back pain. A hospice nurse visited later on 06/07/22, evaluated the resident and left the following written instructions for the facility:


* Increase morphine orders to be faxed;

* Keep bed at lowest position;

* Keep wheelchair and walker out of reach when resident was in bed;

* Encourage use of call light;

* Every-hour checks; and

* Toileting every four hours.


A facility staff transcribed the hospice visit note into the resident's progress notes on 06/08/22. However, there was no documented evidence the facility added the interventions to Resident 7's service plan and informed staff of the new interventions.


b. A facility staff transcribed a hospice visit note into the resident's progress notes on 05/17/22. The note read in part, "patient was complaining about a stomach ache and pain in [his/her] chest. [RN case manager] and facility staff notified."


There was no documented evidence the facility coordinated care with the outside provider which included an evaluation of the resident to determine if the service plan needed to be adjusted and staff informed of any new interventions.


The need to ensure the facility had a system to ensure outside provider notes were reviewed and new instructions were added to the resident's service plan and implemented, was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 4 (Regional Director) and Staff 18 (RN) on 07/07/22. They acknowledged the findings.

Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure medication orders were carried out as prescribed, for 2 of 4 sampled residents (#s 7 and 8) whose physician orders were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to:


1. Resident 7 was admitted to the facility in 07/2021 with diagnoses including dementia, congestive heart failure and lower back pain. The resident was receiving hospice services.


Resident 7's most recent signed physician orders were reviewed and compared to the 06/2022 MAR/TAR. The following orders were not followed:


* Amlodipine qd (for heart disease) and furosemide qd (for congestive heart failure) were not administered for four days (06/13/22 through 06/16/22) because the facility failed to obtain refills through hospice.

* Ibuprofen BID (for pain) was not administered on 06/20/22 and potassium chloride qd (for congestive heart failure) was not administered on 06/23/22 because the facility failed to obtain refills through hospice.

* On 06/11/22 and 06/16/22, PRN lorazepam was given for shortness of breath without having first administered PRN morphine with ineffective results per the physician orders dated 06/06/22.

* On 06/07/22, 06/08/22 and 06/17/22, PRN morphine was given for pain without having first administered PRN ibuprofen with ineffective results per the administration instructions.

* During the survey, Resident 7's oxygen concentrator flow rate was observed to be set at 1.75 liters per minute, not three liters per minute as prescribed.


The need to ensure physician orders were carried out as prescribed was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 4 (Regional Director) and Staff 18 (RN) on 07/07/22. They acknowledged the findings.


2. Resident 8 was admitted to the MCC on 02/2022 with diagnoses including vascular dementia, stroke, high blood pressure and constipation.


Resident 8 had the following PRN bowel medications:


* Senna two tablets (17.2 mg) give first if no bowel movement in three days;

* Bisacodyl suppository (10 mg) give second if no bowel movement in three days and the Senna was ineffective.


The resident's 06/01/22 through 07/05/22 bowel monitoring records showed the following:


* Bowel monitoring on the 06/2022 TAR indicated Resident 8 did not have a bowel movement from 06/12/22 through 06/17/22, when the facility administered PRN Senna. The PRN Senna was not administered to the resident on the third day of not having a bowel movement, as prescribed;

* The TAR indicated the resident did not have a bowel movement until 06/19/22, two days after PRN Senna was administered; and

* There was no documented evidence the resident was administered the PRN Bisacodyl suppository when the Senna was ineffective.


The need to ensure medication and treatment orders the facility was responsible to administer were carried out as prescribed was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 4 (Regional Director) and Staff 18 (RN) on 07/07/22. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

OAR 411-054-9955 (1)(f-h) Systems: Treatment Orders


Resident #7's medication and treatment orders have been reconciled to ensure the medication administration record matches the resident's PCP orders. Additionally, all medication and treatment specific instructions with parameters have been updated on the Medication Administration Record (MAR).


Resident #8 passed.


*A comprehensive medication and treatment reconciliation will be completed for all residents to ensure all orders are accurate on the MAR and accessible in the record.


Medication and treatment orders will be reconciled at a minimum of every 90 days moving forward. This includes a comprehensive chart review, cart audit, and physician order signatures.



The medication techs were inserviced on the policy and protocols on how to process orders via the triple check system.

Step 1: First check- initial receiving medication tech processes all new orders to ensure no delay of treatment. Staff will contact the community nurse for direction as needed. All new orders received or order changes will be transcribed into the MAR, and the previous medication (if med changed) will be discontinued.

Second check- oncoming medication tech verifies all first check orders were processed accurately, appropriate directions and parameters for staff to follow were put in place.

Third check- nursing to be the final check. The final verification of processing will be to ensure all components are in place and to make updates as indicated.

Step 2: The Administrator or Designee will complete weekly and monthly medication administration audits to ensure any concerns with medication discrepancy, omission, as needed effectiveness and parameters are followed timely.

Areas of focus for auditing will include verifying each Residents MAR is reflective of most recent Physician Order information including but not limited to: resident specific reasons for administering PRN pain medications, parameters for use of all PRN medications including topical medications, and directions for staff to administer PRN psychoactive medications. Review will also include ensuring all medications and treatments are being given per MD order.

Step 3: The Executive Director or Designee will add all providers / practitioners required resident notifications for daily weights or vitals out of parameters to the acuity report to self-audit and ensure providers / practitioners notifications are done timely.

Step 4: The Executive Director or Designee will audit the medication administration record on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. All orders will be reconciled quarterly prior to physician orders being sent to the providers for review.

Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an accurate MAR was maintained for all facility administered medications, including resident specific administration instructions and parameters for PRN medications, for 3 of 4 sampled residents (#s 1, 3 and 4) whose MARs were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to:


1. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 2021 with diagnoses which included Alzheimer's and edema.


Resident 4 had an order for compression stockings for edema. Staff were instructed to "apply compression stockings to lower extremities in the morning before resident gets out of bed ..."


Review of the MAR, from 03/01/22 - 03/15/22 revealed that on 03/15/22 at 8:00 am, Staff 16 (MT) initialed that the resident's compression stockings had been applied.


Multiple observations of the resident on 03/15/22 revealed s/he was not wearing compression stockings.


In an interview with Staff 5 (Personal Care Assistant (PCA)/MT) on 03/15/22, she said PCAs applied the stockings, not the MTs. She added that the stockings had not been donned that morning because the family was washing them.


Staff 16 was interviewed on 03/15/22 at 1:10 pm. She was unaware that the resident was not wearing the stockings. She reviewed the MAR and confirmed she initialed that the stockings had been applied without verifying it.


The need to ensure an accurate MAR was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) on 03/15/22 at 2:30 pm. He acknowledged the findings. No further information was provided.

2. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 2021 with diagnoses including type II diabetes.


Resident 3 had a physician order to administer Trulicity (a medication to treat type II diabetes) injection weekly.


Resident 3's 03/01/22 through 03/14/22 MAR revealed the following:


* 03/04/22 - there was no staff signature noting administration of the injection as scheduled; and

* 03/11/22 - Staff 17 (PCA/MT) signed on the MAR that she administered the Trulicity injection when Staff 3 (Memory Care Director/LPN) administered the injection.


The need to ensure an accurate MAR was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (RN) on 03/15/22. They acknowledged the findings.

3. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in February 2021 with a diagnosis of dementia.


Resident 1's 02/01/22 thru 03/14/22 MAR was reviewed and identified the following PRN pain medications ordered:


* Acetaminophen oral every six hours as needed for pain and for fever; and

* Morphine Sulfate oral every two hours as needed for pain or shortness of breath.

 

The MAR gave no direction to staff on which medication to use first for the resident's pain.

Staff 16 further acknowledged, "We just try to deal with [him/her], [s/he] is a real hand full, a real challenge."


In an interview with Staff 14 (Activity Director) on 07/05/22, the following behaviors were noted:


* Hoarding; and

* Noise and large groups were triggers for behavior.


Staff 14 added, "I wrote in [his/her] activity evaluation that daily 1:1 activities were preferred to ensure [s/he] doesn't become escalated near other residents."


The facility failed to evaluate Resident 6's behavior, add information about the behavior and resident to resident altercations to the service plan, and develop interventions for staff to protect themselves and residents from future altercations. The resident continued to engage in physical altercations with other residents.


The surveyor requested an individualized behavior plan on 07/07/22 that addressed Resident 6's behaviors. Survey received and accepted a behavior care plan on 07/12/22.


The need to evaluate Resident 6's behaviors, update the service plan and provide interventions for staff to attempt when the behavior occurred was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 4 (Regional Director) and Staff 18 (RN) on 07/07/22. They acknowledged the findings.


2. Resident 10 was admitted to the MCC facility in 02/2020 with a diagnosis of dementia.


Progress notes and incident reports reviewed from 04/28/22 through 07/05/22 indicated Resident 10 had three physical altercations on 04/28/22, 05/13/22 and 05/15/22.


The resident's current service plan dated 04/19/22 indicated staff were to report any behavior or out of baseline behaviors to the MT/licensed nurse, provide 1 on 1 engagement and redirect. There was no further information regarding altercations, other behaviors, potential triggers for the behaviors, or further interventions noted.


During an interview with Staff 16 (Personal Care Assistant/MT) on 07/06/22, it was reported Resident 10 would become agitated and escalate if s/he heard another resident saying something disrespectful to female staff. "[His/her] response was usually yelling, getting out of [his/her] wheelchair and physically punching or hitting the other resident." If staff were unable to intervene it usually resulted in physical aggression towards others.


Staff 16 also reported Resident 10 was able to walk independently and only preferred to use the wheelchair. "[S/he] is actually pretty strong and when [s/he] becomes agitated [s/he] will get out of the wheelchair and approach the resident that is bothering [him/her] which usually resulted in a punch or swinging [to hit another resident]."


The facility failed to evaluate Resident 10's behavior, add information about the behavior and resident to resident altercations to the service plan, and develop interventions for staff to protect themselves and residents from future altercations.
