This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure injuries of unknown cause were reported to the local SPD office as suspected abuse, unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably concluded and documented the injury was not the result of abuse for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 2 and 4) whose incidents were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 4 moved into the facility in 08/2020 with diagnoses including dementia and hypertension. Progress notes and interim service plans, dated 05/01/25 through 08/03/25, and corresponding incident reports were reviewed. The following was revealed: Resident 4 had a laceration measuring 4 cm by 1.5 cm by 2 cm on both sides of the bottom, documented by Staff 16 (MT). On 08/05/25 at 9:36 am, an interview with the resident was attempted. Resident 4 was not able to recall what happened. There was no documented evidence of an investigation to rule out abuse of the injury of unknown cause. The facility was instructed to report the injury of unknown cause to the local SPD office. Proof of reporting was received by the survey team on 08/07/25 via email. The need to ensure all injuries of unknown cause were reported to the local SPD office as suspected abuse, unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably concluded and documented the physical injury was not the result of abuse, was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (RCC), Staff 3 (Health Services Manager/LPN), and Staff 4 (Health Services Specialist/RN) on 08/07/25 at 11:00 am. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 07/2023 with diagnoses including dementia. The resident’s progress notes, dated 07/01/25 through 08/04/25, and an interim service plan, dated 06/30/25, were reviewed. On 06/30/25, staff identified a "Laceration" on Resident 2's "Left fourth toe". On 08/06/25 at 2:04 pm, an interview with the resident was attempted. Resident 2 was not interviewable. On 08/06/25 at 2:42 pm, Staff 1 (Interim ED) confirmed there was no documented evidence the facility investigated the incident to determine the origin of the injury. Survey requested the injury be reported to the local SPD office and verification of the notification was received on 08/07/25 at 10:04 am. The need to ensure injuries of unknown cause were immediately investigated and if abuse could not be ruled out, reported to the local SPD office was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (RCC), Staff 3 (Health Services Manager/LPN), and Staff 4 (Health Services Specialist/RN) on 08/07/25 at 11:32 am. They acknowledged the findings.

OAR 411-054-0040 (1-2) Change of Condition and Monitoring (1) CHANGE OF CONDITION. These rules define a resident's change of condition as either short term or significant with the following meanings: (a) Short term change of condition means a change in the resident's health or functioning that is expected to resolve or be reversed with minimal intervention or is an established, predictable, cyclical pattern associated with a previously diagnosed condition. (b) Significant change of condition means a major deviation from the most recent evaluation that may affect multiple areas of functioning or health that is not expected to be short term and imposes significant risk to the resident.(c) If a resident experiences a significant change of condition that is a major deviation in the resident's health or functional abilities, the facility must evaluate the resident, refer to the facility nurse, document the change, and update the service plan as needed. (d) If a resident experiences a short-term change of condition that is expected to resolve or reverse with minimal intervention, the facility must determine and document what action or intervention is needed for the resident. (A) The determined action or intervention must be communicated to staff on each shift. (B) The documentation of staff instructions or interventions must be resident specific and made part of the resident record with weekly progress noted until the condition resolves. (2) MONITORING. The facility must have written policies to ensure a resident monitoring and reporting system is implemented 24-hours a day. The policies must specify staff responsibilities and identify criteria for notifying the administrator, registered nurse, or healthcare provider. The facility must: (a) Monitor each resident consistent with his or her evaluated needs and service plan; (b) Train staff to identify changes in the resident's physical, emotional and mental functioning and document and report on the resident's changes of condition; (c) Have a reporting protocol with access to a designated staff person, 24-hours a day, seven days a week, who can determine if a change in the resident's condition requires further action; and (d) Provide written communication of a resident's change of condition, and any required interventions, for caregivers on each shift. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to evaluate changes of condition and refer significant changes of condition to the facility RN, failed to develop actions or interventions and communicate the actions or interventions to staff on each shift, and/or failed to monitor short term changes of condition through resolution for 4 of 7 sampled residents (#s 2, 3, 4, and 7) reviewed with changes of condition. Resident 4 experienced ongoing weight loss. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 4 moved into the community in 08/2020 with diagnoses including dementia and hypertension. The resident was identified by the staff during the acuity interview on 08/04/25 to have experienced severe weight loss. Resident 4's progress notes and interim service plans, dated 05/02/25 through 08/03/25, service plan, dated 01/20/25, and weight records, dated 04/21/25 through 08/2025, were reviewed, and interviews with staff were conducted. The following was identified: a. Resident 4’s weight record review showed the following: * 04/21/25 – 180.2 pounds; * 05/2025 – no weight available; * 06/2025 – no weight available; * 07/2025 – 158.6 pounds; and * 08/2025 – 149.2 pounds. Resident 4 had a severe weight loss of 21.6 pounds or 11.98% of his/her body weight in three months between 04/2025 and 07/2025. There was no documented evidence the facility completed an evaluation of the resident’s weight loss, referred the weight loss to the RN, determined and communicated interventions to staff on each shift, or that the resident was monitored following the severe weight loss. An observation was made of Resident 4 on 08/04/25 at 4:30 pm. The resident was served cheese manicotti, green beans, a breadstick, and a milkshake. The resident was able to eat independently and ate approximately 75% of his/her meal. Staff checked on the resident during mealtime. On 08/05/25 at 11:50 am, the resident was served a Cuban sandwich, celery, carrots, chips, watermelon, soda and a milkshake. Staff were assisting the resident by cueing and holding a drink with a straw. The resident ate some chips, watermelon, and drank the soda. The intake was approximately 10%. On 08/05/25 at 1:43 pm, Witness 3 (Agency RN) stated “I have not dealt with weights in the facility so far.” On 08/06/25 at 12:15 pm, the resident’s weight record was reviewed with Staff 2 (RCC). Staff 2 acknowledged she would enter weights in the electronic record, then the facility RN would review, and the weights for July and August 2025 had not been entered. The facility's failure to evaluate the resident for weight loss, refer to the facility RN, determine actions or interventions, communicate the interventions to staff, and monitor put the resident at risk for further weight loss. The resident experienced further severe weight loss of 9.4 pounds or 5.92% in one month between July and August 2025. b. Resident 4 was identified in the acuity interview on 08/04/25 as a fall risk and had a history of falls. A review of the resident’s progress notes indicated the resident had five falls between 05/02/25 and 05/25/25. A review of the service plan available to staff, dated 01/20/25, indicated the resident required cueing for memory. The following falls lacked evidence that interventions were resident-specific and/or were monitored weekly to resolution: * 05/02/25- Unwitnessed injury fall--resident bumped head and injured hip; * 05/09/25- Witnessed noninjury fall, resident slid out of chair; * 05/11/25- Unwitnessed noninjury fall; * 05/13/25- Witnessed noninjury fall, tripped on toes while walking to bathroom; and * 05/25/25- Unwitnessed noninjury fall. During the survey from 08/04/25 through 08/07/25, the resident was observed to be bed-bound. c. The following short-term changes of condition for Resident 4 lacked documentation of actions or interventions needed for the resident were developed, communicated to the staff on all shifts, and/or monitored at least weekly through resolution: * 05/27/25- Blood in brief; * 07/05/25- Slept 90% of the day; * 07/11/25- Resident declining and “might be appropriate for hospice”; * 07/17/25- Decreased intakes, fell asleep with food in mouth; * 07/24/25- Bloody urine-soaked chuck, abdominal pain; and * 07/24/25- Hospice admit. The need to ensure the facility evaluated changes of condition, referred to the facility RN, determined and documented what actions or interventions were needed for changes of condition, communicated the actions or interventions to staff on all shifts, and monitored the short-term changes of condition at least weekly through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Interim ED), Staff 2, Staff 3 (Health Services Manager/LPN), and Staff 4 (Health Services Specialist/RN) on 08/07/25 at 11:00 am. They acknowledged the findings. No additional documentation was provided. 2. Resident 7 was admitted to the facility in 03/2025 with diagnoses including acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (oxygen deprivation). Resident 7’s MARs, dated 07/01/25 through 08/04/25, noted the resident took warfarin, an oral anticoagulant (blood thinner) and had weekly PT/INR tests (a blood test that measures how long it takes your blood to clot). A progress note dated 07/03/25 noted the resident returned to the facility from a stay in the hospital. There was no documented evidence Resident 7 received his/her warfarin between 07/03/25 through 07/11/25, nor was there evidence the resident was being monitored for the missed doses of warfarin. Resident 7 returned to the facility and missed doses of warfarin. There was no documented evidence interventions or actions were determined, the interventions or actions were communicated to staff on each shift, or the resident was monitored for missing his/her medication. The change of condition, including a lack of monitoring for any side effects relating to missed medication, was discussed with Staff 1 (Interim ED), Staff 2 (RCC), Staff 3 (Health Services Manager/LPN) and Staff 4 (Health Services Specialist/RN) on 08/06/25 at 3:20 pm. 3. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 07/2023 with diagnoses including dementia, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. The resident’s progress notes, dated 07/01/25 through 08/04/25, MARs, dated 07/01/25 through 08/04/25, and interim service plans (ISPs), dated 06/30/25 and 07/25/25, were reviewed. Resident 2 was observed, and staff were interviewed. The resident experienced the following changes of condition: a. On 06/30/25, the facility identified a laceration on Resident 2’s toe. There was no documented evidence the laceration was monitored through resolution. b. Facility documentation noted the following: * 07/25/25: The resident “displayed symptoms of weakness and chest pain”, “staff called 911” and Resident 2 was transferred to the Emergency Department (ED). * 07/29/25: “the resident was having chest pain”, staff called 911, and Resident 2 was transported to the hospital. Progress notes also revealed Resident 2 had a pacemaker and had been having complaints of weakness, chest pains, chest “sensations,” lethargy, and the resident reported that s/he “just didn’t feel right.” There was no documented evidence the resident was evaluated upon returning from the ED and hospital, provided staff the signs and symptoms of what to monitor Resident 2 for, and who to contact if the resident did experience further signs or symptoms. The need to ensure the facility evaluated residents after experiencing changes of condition and monitored the resident per their evaluated needs was discussed with Staff 1 (Interim ED), Staff 2 (RCC), Staff 3 (Health Services Manager/LPN), and Staff 4 (Health Services Specialist/RN) on 08/07/25 at 11:32 am. They acknowledged the findings. 4. Resident 3 moved into the facility in 04/2025 with diagnoses including dementia. The resident’s progress notes, dated 04/22/25 through 05/04/25, and MARs, dated 07/01/25 through 08/04/25, were reviewed. Resident 3 and staff were interviewed. The facility failed to monitor the resident for the following: * Moving from another state into the facility; and * Missing two doses of levothyroxine (for hypothyroidism) on 07/04/25 and 07/10/25. On 08/05/25 at 10:31 am, Resident 3 confirmed not knowing s/he was moving to the facility and missing his/her family and friends from his/her previous state. The resident also confirmed mourning the loss of his/her spouse who passed away “not even a year ago.” The need to ensure the facility monitored the resident through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Interim ED), Staff 2 (RCC), Staff 3 (Health Services Manager/LPN), and Staff 4 (Health Services Specialist/RN) on 08/07/25 at 11:32 am. They acknowledged the findings.
1. RN will evaluate changes of condition, develop an action plan or interventions and communicate the actions or interventions to staff on each shift on an ISP, as well as monitor short term changes of condition through resolution for residents #2, #3, #4, and #7. These will include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident #4, ensure monthly weights are taken, reviewed, and specific resident focused information will be added to the service plan that directs staff to encourage higher calorie intake. Staff will be advised to notify the RN immediately upon realizing weight loss. RN will conduct an assessment and thorough review of all falls and all conditions found during the assessment as well as all previously documented conditions regarding Resident #4. RN will create a short-term change of condition for all care needs not currently being addressed, documenting the actions or interventions needed for the resident. The short term change of condition and actions/intervention will be communicated to the staff on all shifts, and/or monitored at least weekly through resolution. This assessment will include, but not be limited to the following already identified: * 5/2/25 Unwitnessed injury fall --resident bumped head and injured hip; * 5/9/25 Witnessed noninjury fall, resident slid out of chair; * 5/11/25 Unwitnessed noninjury fall; * 5/13/25 Witnessed noninjury fall, tripped on toes while walking to bathroom and; *5/25/25 Unwitnessed noninjury fall. 1. RN will review Resident #7's MAR, looking for missed medication, patterns and opportunities for educating staff on actions/interventions going forward. 1. RN will assess Resident #2's toe to confirm the laceration has healed. Any skin condition will be documented and monitored until resolved. 1. RN will assess Resident #2 for weakness and chest pain. RN and RCC will look at historical patterns of weakness and chest pain to determine if specific areas of daily activity may benefit from additional monitoring. If so, this will be documented and shared with staff on all shifts. It will be noted on his/her service plan and staff will be advised to inform medical transport of his/her pacemaker. 1. Staff will monitor Resident #3 as a new move in. 2. All Med Techs will be provided re-training on August 25th, 26th, and 27th. Another training will be scheduled for any Med Techs who happen to miss the first one. The training will focus on ensuring timely medicaiton deliver as well as documentation standards - staff will be completing the education with a return demonstration and competency check upon completion. Med Techs will also be trained on ensuring medications are given to residents returning to the community, documentation for interventions or actions, how to communicate it to staff on each shift and monitoring residents for missing medications. 2. Med Techs, Charge Nurses and RCC's have reviewed short term/significant changes of condition - with a focus on intervention and monitoring throught to resolution. This was completed with the Central Office Health Care Department Team on August 13th, 2025. It also included locating change of conditions, looking for actions or interventions and monitoring short term conditions through resolution. 2. Med Techs will be re-trained on monthly weights, how to review and report to RN any significant changes. This will be monitored y the RCC's to ensure completion. 2. Med Techs will be re-trained on ensuring residents are evaluated upon returning from the ED and hospital, providing all staff the signs and symptoms of what to monitor resident for, and how to know who to contact if the resident did experience further signs or symptoms. 2. Staff will be re-trained on why to and how to monitor new residents, also how to ensure their medications are available, entered properly and administered on time. 3. This area needing correction will be evaluated on a weekly basis by RCCs, RN, and Administrator at weekly clinical meetings. 4. The RCC's, RN and Administrator will be responsible to ensure the corrections are completed and monitored

A licensed nurse must provide individual and group education activities as required by individual service plans and facility policies.(F) Intermittent Direct Nursing Services. If a resident requires nursing services that are not available through hospice, home health, a third-party referral, or the task cannot be delegated to facility staff, the facility must arrange to have such services provided on an intermittent or temporary basis. Such services may be of a temporary nature as defined in facility policy, admission agreements and disclosure information. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure a significant change of condition assessment was completed by the RN, which included findings, resident status, and interventions, for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 4 and 5) who experienced significant changes of condition for severe weight loss and admission to hospice. Resident 4 experienced ongoing severe weight loss. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 4 moved into the community in 08/2020 with diagnoses including dementia and hypertension. During the acuity interview on 08/04/25, staff reported Resident 4 had significant weight loss and a recent hospice admission. a. Resident 4 experienced a weight loss of 21.6 pounds or 11.98% in three months between April and July 2025, and an additional weight loss of 9.4 pounds or 5.92% in between July and August 2025. There was no documented evidence of an RN assessment for the significant change of condition related to the severe weight loss, that included RN findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the weight loss. The facility failure to ensure an RN assessment was completed put the resident at risk for further weight loss. The resident experienced further severe weight loss of 9.4 pounds or 5.92% in one month between July and August 2025. Refer to C 270, example 1a. b. Resident 4 experienced a decline and was admitted to hospice services on 07/23/25.
