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 determine actions or interventions needed following changes of condition, communicate the actions or interventions to staff on each shift, ensure staff instructions or interventions were resident-specific and made part of the resident record, with weekly progress noted until the condition resolved, and ensure the interventions were monitored for effectiveness for 1 of 3 sampled residents (# 2). Resident 2 experienced falls with injuries. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 moved into the MCC in 02/2025 with diagnoses including dementia. During the entrance conference interview on 01/12/26, staff identified the resident had a history of falls. The service plan, dated 11/06/25, and subsequent interim service plans (ISP’s) and progress notes, dated 10/02/25 through 01/10/26, were reviewed. Interviews with staff and observations were conducted during the survey. On 01/12/26 at 12:30 pm, Resident 2 presented with full bilateral facial bruising and a laceration on his/her skull, approximately two-three inches in length, with metal sutures closing the laceration. Resident 2 was observed using a walker during the survey. Resident 2’s service plan and ISP’s from 10/28/25 through 01/10/26, instructed staff of the following fall interventions: * Offer help when s/he was moving furniture; * Non-skid strips next to bed; * Ensure s/he was wearing non-skid socks or shoes at all times; * Staff to clean out any cups from his/her room promptly (ISP 11/25/25); * Keep alarm pad in resident’s bed (“Permanent Change in Service Plan” 12/31/25); and * Take resident to the bathroom upon waking up, after meals, between lunch and dinner and before bed (“Permanent Change in Service Plan” 01/08/26). a. The resident had the following falls that lacked monitoring of fall interventions for effectiveness and/or communicating the change of condition and interventions to staff on each shift: * 09/30/25 – Unwitnessed fall with injury to the left “small toe.” There was an incident report form completed with a fall intervention to encourage resident to not wear silk night gowns. During an interview on 01/13/26 at 2:51 pm with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (Wellness Director, LPN), and Staff 4 (RCC) it was confirmed direct care staff didn’t have access to the incident reports to be informed of the new fall intervention. Staff confirmed their system to notify staff of changes in condition, including fall interventions, was to communicate the changes using an ISP or Permanent Change in Service Plan form. * 10/28/25 - Unwitnessed non-injury fall; and * 10/28/25 - Second unwitnessed fall with abrasion to the right elbow. There was no documented evidence the previous fall interventions were monitored for effectiveness or new interventions were put in place following the two falls on 10/28/25. * 11/25/25 - Unwitnessed fall. Resident stated s/he hit his/her head. There was an ISP instructing staff to clean out any cups from his/her room promptly. Observations on 01/12/26 at 12:30 pm and on 01/14/26 at 9:00 am showed the fall intervention to remove cups with liquids in them on the resident’s table near the bed was not followed. * 12/02/25 - Unwitnessed fall with abrasion to left upper arm. An intervention to place bright tape on the door threshold between the resident's apartment and bathroom was noted on an incident report. There was no documented evidence the intervention, including instructions on who to notify if the tape became dislodged from the threshold, was communicated to staff. * 12/20/25 - Unwitnessed non-injury fall. The incident report noted an intervention: “will collect a UA [Urinalysis].” There was no documented evidence the intervention was communicated to staff, and there was no documented evidence the UA was collected. * 12/25/25 - Unwitnessed fall with abrasion to right forearm. On 12/31/25 (six days later) there was a “Permanent Change in Service Plan” which instructed staff to keep alarm pad in resident’s bed. During an interview on 01/12/26 at 2:30 pm, Staff 7 (Health Services Staff/CG) reported, “I think [s/he] has a bed alarm, but I think it’s only for night-time.” Observations on 01/12/26 through 01/14/26 showed there was not an alarm on the resident’s bed. There was no documented evidence the facility monitored the fall interventions for effectiveness. Resident 2 continued to have the following injury falls, which resulted in emergent medical care from paramedics and/or emergency room visit. * On 01/02/26 Resident 2 experienced another unwitnessed fall with pain to the left hip. * 01/06/26 - Unwitnessed fall with head injury resulting in an emergency room visit and multiple sutures in the resident’s head. An incident report dated 01/06/26 through 01/08/26 had the following description of the incident: “There was water on the floor from a cup that was spilt over ... there was a wheelchair pushed against dresser and [his/her] head was under the wheelchair ... there was blood on the floor and coming from the back of residents [SIC] head.” Staff called 911, and the resident was transported to the hospital. The incident report further noted a “pressure alarm will be used in [his/her] chair in [his/her] room as well as [his/her] bed.” The intervention to use a pressure alarm on his/her chair was not communicated to staff and, based on observations from 01/12/26 through 01/14/26, wasn’t being implemented. There was no documented evidence the facility determined actions or interventions needed to prevent further falls, communicated the use of a wheelchair or chair alarm to staff, or monitored any of the fall interventions to ensure they were being implemented and were effective. This resulted in pain, physical injury, a major deviation in the resident’s health and functional ability, and the resident continued to have two more falls with injuries on the following dates: * 01/10/26 - Unwitnessed fall with bruise to the forehead, bleeding on the front top part of head and was complaining of pain in his/her left hip. The resident was administered a pain medication. * 01/10/26 - Unwitnessed fall with injury to forehead and skin tear to the left elbow. An incident report was completed on 01/12/26 that read: “will ask hospice for a wheelchair.” The incident report from 01/06/26 noted the resident already had a wheelchair in their room, and the use of a pressure alarm on chairs was an intervention that should have already been in use. There was an ISP written on 01/10/26 instructing staff to monitor for pain and latent injuries. However, there was no documented evidence the facility communicated the use of a wheelchair or chair alarm to staff or monitored any of the previous fall interventions to ensure they were being implemented and were effective following the two falls on 01/10/26. There was no documented evidence the facility determined actions or interventions needed to prevent falls, communicated the actions or fall interventions to staff, or monitored any of the fall interventions to ensure they were being implemented and were effective. This resulted in pain, physical injury, and a major deviation in the resident’s health and functional ability. The need to ensure the facility communicated changes of condition to staff on each shift, ensure staff instructions or interventions were resident-specific and made part of the resident record, and ensure the interventions were monitored for effectiveness and were being implemented was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (LPN), and Staff 4 (RCC) on 01/13/26 at 2:51 pm and with Staff 3 (RN) on 01/14/26 at 3:14 pm. They acknowledged the findings. b. The following short-term changes of condition were not monitored through resolution: * 01/05/26 - Cephalexin 250 mg capsule (antibiotic for urinary tract infection), give one capsule by mouth three times per day for five days (total of 15 capsules). The resident was administered 10 doses of the antibiotic. An observation of the medication cart on 01/14/26 at 11:40 am showed there were three capsules remaining in the bottle. A progress note dated 01/06/26 indicated the condition was resolved by Staff 2 (Wellness Director/LPN) prior to the resident completing the medication. The facility failed to monitor the resident to determine the efficacy of the medication in treating the resident’s condition. The need to ensure resident-specific actions or interventions were determined, documented, and communicated to staff on all shifts and that changes were monitored, with progress noted at least weekly until the condition resolved, was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (LPN), and Staff 4 (RCC) on 01/13/26 at 2:51 pm and with Staff 3 (RN) on 01/14/26 at 3:14 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
Evergreen Memory Care will ensure that residents' short term and long term change of conditions are monitored appropriately. Community will determine actions/interventions needed, communicate actions or interventions to team members on all shifts, and monitor changes through resolution with weekly documentation. Resident #2's significant change of condition assessment by RN was completed on January 12, 2026. RN assessments will be completed when applicable. Routine clinical meetings will be held at minimum 5 days/week with ED, HSD and RN. These meetings are a double check to review and identify resident short term and long term change of conditions. Weekly high risk resident meetings will take place to assure compliance. All staff in-service will be held on February 10, 2026. Training topics to include residents' short term and long term change of conditions. ED and HSD will be responsible
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:
OAR 411-054-0055 (1)(f-h) Systems: Treatment Orders (f) Medication and treatment orders must be carried out as prescribed.(g) Written, signed physician or other legally recognized practitioner orders must be documented in the resident's facility record for all medications and treatments that the facility is responsible to administer.(h) Only a physician or other legally recognized prescribing practitioner is authorized to make changes in a medication or treatment order. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure medication orders were carried out as prescribed and that the facility had written, signed physician or other legally recognized practitioner orders documented in the resident's facility record for all medications that the facility was responsible to administer for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#2) who was administered medications. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 moved into the MCC in 02/2025 with diagnoses including dementia. The resident’s physician orders, dated 01/11/26, and the 01/01/26 through 01/14/26 MAR were reviewed and identified the following: * Hydrocodone/APAP 5mg/325mg (a controlled substance to manage pain) was administered 13 times without a written order from the prescriber. * Furosemide 20 mg tablet, give two tablets (40 mg total) every day was not administered on 01/11/26 and 01/12/26 because the medication was not available. During an interview and observation on 01/14/26 at 11:40 am with Staff 12 (Health Services Staff/MT), it was confirmed the medication was not available on those dates. The date received on the new medication card confirmed the medication was received on 01/12/26 and the resident began receiving the Furosemide again on 01/13/26. * Cephalexin 250 mg capsule (antibiotic for urinary tract infection) give one capsule by mouth three times per day for five days (total of 15 capsules or doses). The resident was administered 10 doses of the antibiotic. An observation of the medication cart on 01/14/26 at 11:40 am showed there were three capsules remaining in the bottle. The need to ensure medication orders were carried out as prescribed and that the facility had written, signed physician or other legally recognized practitioner orders documented in the resident's facility record for all medications that the facility was responsible to administer was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (LPN), Staff 3 (RN), and Staff 4 (RCC) on 01/14/26 at 3:14 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

OAR 411-054-0070 (1) Staffing Requirements and Training: Staffing (Amended 6/9/21)(1) STAFFING REQUIREMENTS. Facilities must have qualified awake direct care staff, sufficient in number to meet the 24-hour scheduled and unscheduled needs of each resident. Direct care staff provide services for residents that include assistance with activities of daily living, medication administration, resident-focused activities, supervision, and support.(a) If a facility employs universal workers whose duties include other tasks (e.g., housekeeping, laundry, food service), in addition to direct resident care, staffing must be increased to maintain adequate resident care and services.(b) Prior to providing care and services to residents, direct care staff must be trained as required in sections (2) - (4) of this rule.(c) The following facility employees are ancillary to the caregiver requirements in this section:(A) Individuals whose duties are exclusively housekeeping, building maintenance, clerical, administrative, or food preparation.(B) Licensed nurses who provide services as specified in OAR 411-054-0045 (Resident Health Services).(C) Administrators.(d) The Department retains the right to require minimum staffing standards based on acuity, complaint investigation or survey inspection.(e) Based on resident acuity and facility structural design there must be adequate direct care staff present at all times, to meet the fire safety evacuation standards as required by the fire authority or the Department.(f) The licensee is responsible for assuring that staffing is increased to compensate for the evaluated care and service needs of residents at move-in and for the changing physical or mental needs of the residents.(g) A minimum of two direct care staff must be scheduled and available at all times whenever a resident requires the assistance of two direct care staff for scheduled and unscheduled needs.(h) In facilities where residents are hosed in two or more detached buildings, or if a building has distinct and segregated areas, a designated caregiver must be awake and available in each building and each segregated area at all times.(i) Facilities must have a written, defined system to determine appropriate numbers of direct care staff and general staffing based on resident acuity and service needs. Such systems may be either manual or electronic.(A) Guidelines for systems must also consider physical elements of a building, use of technology if applicable and staff experience.(B) Facilities must be able to demonstrate how their staffing systems work. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to have a sufficient number of direct care staff to meet the 24-hour scheduled and unscheduled needs of each resident. Findings include, but are not limited to: During the entrance conference on 01/12/26 with Staff 2 (Wellness Director/LPN) and Staff 4 (RCC), the following was identified: * The facility was a one story MCC with four neighborhoods that were connected to each other through corridors and a central resident common area. The neighborhoods were defined as Cascades: rooms 101-114; Rockies: rooms 115-128; Andes: rooms 129-142; and Sierras: rooms 143-156. * The facility had a current census of 48 residents. * Five residents required a two-person assist to transfer and/or for ADL care. Two of the five residents resided in Cascades neighborhood, two resided in Sierras neighborhood, and one resided in Rockies neighborhood. Based on the ABST facility questionnaire, the following was reported by Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 on 01/14/26 at 2:38 pm: * Seven residents required meal assistance; * 14 residents required support for behavioral symptoms; and * All 48 residents required supports for cognitive impairments. The facility's posted staffing plan, staffing schedule from 01/01/26 to 01/12/26, and total direct care time based on resident acuity and the facility acuity-based staffing tool (ABST) were reviewed. The posted staffing plan: * Day Shift: 6:00 am - 2:00 pm - 4 CGs and 2 MTs; * Swing Shift: 2:00 pm - 10:00 pm - 4 CGs and 2 MTs; and * Night Shift: 10:00 pm - 6:00 am - 2 CGs and 1 MT. The ABST indicated the day shift should have a minimum of 6.5 direct care staff. The staffing schedule showed 33% of the scheduled shifts from 01/01/26 to 01/12/26 were understaffed per the facility’s ABST. During an interview on 01/13/26 at 9:06 am, Staff 12 (Health Services Staff/CG) stated there was not enough staff to meet the needs of the residents. Staff 11 stated when Resident 1 refused a shower there was no other staff to attempt re-approach due to behaviors per Resident 1’s service plan and, therefore, at times, the showers were not completed. In an interview with Staff 4 (Resident Care Coordinator) on 01/13/26 at 10:00 am, she stated the facility was understaffed. Staff 4 revealed there was one staff member per neighborhood. If a staff member was providing shower assistance the neighborhood was left unattended. Cleaning and showers at times were not getting done based on limited staffing. Staff 4 stated overnight shift was particularly difficult as the community had four neighborhoods with three staff members covering. Residents who required two person transfers meant some neighborhoods were left unattended during those tasks. During an interview on 01/13/26 at 12:30 pm, Staff 14 (Health Services Staff/CG) stated she felt the facility was understaffed. Staff 14 stated residents that required a two person transfer often had to wait for transfer until another staff member was available. During an interview on 01/13/26 at 3:00 pm, Witness 1 (Family Member) stated there was not enough staff to meet the needs of the residents. Witness 1 stated the facility previously had more staff scheduled, two Health Services Staff/CG’s and one Health Services Staff/MT for every shift, but that had changed due to new ownership. Witness 1 stated residents were often left alone if the Health Services Staff/CG had to attend to a specific resident’s care needs as there was no one else there. In an interview with Staff 15 (Health Services Staff/CG) on 01/14/26 at 8:20 am, he stated that he felt like the section he worked in (Andes) could use an extra person because it was a “heavier section.” He didn’t always have an extra person around for two- person transfers and he had to wait sometimes, causing a resident to have to wait until after breakfast to get out of bed. Subsequently, the resident must sometimes eat his/her meal in bed instead of going to the dining room. The lack of staff also made it difficult to supervise everyone and complete required housekeeping and ADL tasks. The need to have a sufficient number of staff to meet all scheduled and unscheduled needs of residents was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2, and Staff 4 on 01/14/26 at 3:14 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
Evergreen Memory Care will accurately capture care time and care elements team members provide to residents and will staff accordingly with ABST. Residents' corresponding ABST evaluations will be updated and updated as needed. Weekly audit of the Health Services schedule will be completed by ED and HSD to assure compliance. Audits will be reviewed at monthly Quality Assurance/Quality Measurement meetings to ensure compliance and evaluate internal system to keep in compliance. ED and HSD will be responsible
