(c) If the resident's service plan is revised and updated at the quarterly review, changes must be dated and initialed, and prior historical information must be maintained. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure service plans were reflective of residents' needs and provided clear direction to staff regarding care and services for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, and 3) whose service plans were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 moved into the facility in 11/2018 with diagnoses including acute chronic diastolic (congestive) heart failure, unspecified atrial fibrillation, and unspecified delusional disorders. The resident’s clinical record, including the 02/10/26 service plan, was reviewed, interviews with staff and the resident were conducted, and observations were made. The service plan was not reflective of the resident’s current care needs and lacked clear direction regarding the delivery of services in the following areas: * Oral/dental status; * Instructions to staff related to behaviors and delusions; and * Resident 3 was independent with managing laundry. An interview and observation with Resident 3 on 04/06/26 at 1:00 pm confirmed he/she had no teeth present. In an interview with Staff 17 on 04/07/26 at 11:40 am, he stated Resident 3 was “particular” about doing his/her own laundry and would stay within visual sight of the laundry room when items were being laundered. An interview with Resident 3 on 04/08/26 at 1:43 pm confirmed s/he did prefer to manage their own laundry. An interview with Staff 6 (MT/Resident Assistant) on 04/07/26 at 9:47 am confirmed Resident 3 had been heard screaming at people in his/her apartment who were not there. In an interview with Staff 7 (Resident Assistant) on 04/08/26 at 11:21 am, she stated Resident 3 was often heard yelling, “Get out!” in the apartment when no one else was present. Staff 7 confirmed she had reviewed the service plan and no information and/or instructions to staff related to the behaviors exhibited by Resident 3 were available in the service plan. The need to ensure service plans were reflective of residents’ needs and preferences and provided clear direction regarding the delivery of services was reviewed with Staff 1 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 2 (ED, The Lodge), Staff 3 (Community RN), and Staff 4 (Interim Administrator) at 10:28 am on 04/09/26. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 02/2026 with diagnoses including atrial fibrillation, right below knee amputation, pacemaker, and stroke. Observations were made of the resident's care on 04/07/26 and 04/08/26, interviews with the resident and facility staff were conducted, and the service plan, dated 04/03/26, and the resident’s MARs from March 1st through April 6th/2026 were reviewed. Resident 1's service plan was not reflective of the resident's current needs and lacked clear instructions to staff in the following areas: * Instructions for bleeding precautions and interventions while on anticoagulation therapy; * Incorrect reference to resident not requiring assistance with dressing/undressing and using mechanical lift for toileting; * Incorrect reference to resident being continent with bowel and bladder; * Incorrect reference to resident requiring assistance with meals; * Instructions on signs and symptoms of depression to report while on anti-depressant therapy; and * Pacemaker precautions, instructions for proper maintenance, and how to monitor malfunctions. During an interview on 04/07/26 at 2:51 pm, Staff 8 (Resident Assistant) stated the resident always required a two-person assist with toileting and “the last few days two persons assist with everything [ADLs] due to behaviors.” Observations of personal care on 04/07/26 and 04/08/26 confirmed Resident 1 required two people with bed mobility, repositioning, dressing/undressing, and assistance with incontinence care. Staff 7 (Resident Assistant) was interviewed on 04/08/26 at 10:12 am and stated Resident 1 “always wants help even when can do it [him/herself]. On 04/07/26 at 10:59 am Resident 1 was observed transferring independently from bed to wheelchair by using a sliding board. Review of the MARs confirmed the resident was taking duloxetine (for depression) daily and Eliquis (for heart health). The need to ensure service plans reflected residents' current needs and provided clear instructions to staff regarding the delivery of services was reviewed with Staff 1 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 2 (ED, The Lodge), and Staff 3 (Community RN) on 04/09/26 at 11:03 am. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 06/2022 with diagnoses including heart failure. The resident’s clinical record was reviewed, observations were made, and interviews were conducted. The 04/03/26 service plan was not reflective of the resident’s current care needs and/or lacked clear instructions in the following areas: * Assistance with transfers, including how many staff needed depending on location; * Ability to ambulate; * Assistance with wheelchair mobility, dressing, and toileting; * Skin integrity, including history of pressure sores and how to promote healing; * Fall history and interventions, including what staff should do if the resident was intoxicated; and * Outside providers, including home health nursing. Observations and interviews with the resident and staff on 04/06/26 through 04/08/26 indicated the resident was no longer ambulatory, needed one to two staff for transfer assistance in and out of the recliner or bed, and was currently seen by HH nursing for pressure sores on both buttocks since 01/2026. The need to ensure service plans were reflective of resident needs and provided clear instruction to staff was discussed with Staff 1 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 2 (ED, The Lodge), and Staff 3 (Community RN) on 04/09/26 at 11:35 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 ensure that actions or interventions were determined and documented for short-term changes of condition, failed to communicate the determined actions or interventions to staff on all shifts, failed to monitor each resident consistent with his/her evaluated needs and service plan, and failed to document progress, at least weekly, through resolution for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#2) who experienced pressure sores and multiple falls. Resident 2 had buttock wounds that worsened, caused unnecessary discomfort, and resulted in an emergency department (ED) visit. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 06/2022 with diagnoses including heart failure. During the acuity interview on 04/06/26 at 9:30 am, Resident 2 was identified as having a pressure ulcer, needing more ADL assistance, and receiving home health nursing and PT services. A review of Resident 2’s clinical record, from 01/06/26 through 04/06/26, revealed the following: a. The resident’s 04/03/26 service plan indicated the resident was a “moderate skin risk,” and staff were to report changes in skin integrity and notify “RCC/Nurse if … there is skin breakdown.” * Observations and interviews with Resident 2 and staff, from 04/06/26 through 04/08/26, revealed the resident preferred to sit in his/her recliner during the day with a pressure relief cushion in place, ate all meals in his/her room, used a wheelchair for all mobility, required one- to two-person assistance with transfers to and from the recliner and bed, required intermittent assistance with toileting, experienced intermittent bowel and bladder incontinence, and needed wheelchair escorts to and from the bathroom. * An observation note dated 01/12/26 identified redness to Resident 2’s groin and coccyx area and notified the Health and Wellness Director. There was no documented evidence interventions were determined and communicated to staff on all shifts to prevent further skin breakdown for the redness on the coccyx. * An observation note written by Staff 3 (Community RN), dated 01/16/26, four days after the coccyx redness was identified, documented direct care staff reported the resident had “bleeding on [his/her] coccyx.” Staff 3 recommended a shower to clean the area and requested “HH Wound Care … to assist with skin care needs and skin breakdown.” During an interview on 04/08/26 at 1:10 pm, Staff 3 acknowledged she did not complete additional documentation on the status of the wound that included measurements, appearance, odor, or drainage, and the service plan was not updated with actions or interventions and communicated to staff to prevent the wound from worsening. The HH nursing evaluation occurred on 01/24/26, eight days after the bleeding was identified. * An observation note on 01/26/26 from a MT documented the resident was “still experiencing open wounds in the buttocks area,” noted the resident would “benefit from a doughnut pillow to sit on,” and the wound area was “painful and sore” as the resident only “sits at this time.” There was no documented evidence a cushion was addressed by HH PT until 02/19/26, 24 days later. * Thirteen days after the wounds were noted as bleeding, on 01/29/26, a home health RN note indicated Resident 2 had “stage 2 pressure ulcers” on both buttocks and provided a brief description of the wound beds. * Subsequent HH RN notes from 02/10/26 and 02/13/26 noted the “wounds are not healing” and were “tender during cleaning.” * On 02/21/26 the HH RN documented there was “slight improvement noted” to the wounds but no measurements were provided. * Fourteen days after the last updated status of the resident’s wounds, an observation note dated 03/07/26 revealed, “Resident was sent out” and was seen in the ED for “buttock Sacral pressure ulcer.” Discharge physician orders from 03/07/26 included “ambulate and out of bed during daytime hours, no sleeping in recliner, rotate every 2 [hours] in bed, use specialized pillows to reduce pressure.” A temporary service plan (TSP) was created on 03/08/26 with the physician’s instructions. * Observation notes on 03/10/26 noted “extreme pain” and resident “crying out during toileting,” and on 03/12/26 the resident had complained the wounds were “very painful.” * On 03/15/26 a wound care note from a HH nurse indicated the left buttock wound was improving and “right buttock wounds are not healing.” * Eleven days after the last documented evidence of the status of the wounds on 03/20/26, a 03/31/26 HH nurse noted “scant” bleeding, “photos taken, not measurements,” and no additional information on the status of the wounds was documented. Resident 2 was noted to have redness on his/her coccyx which worsened and became stage 2 pressure ulcers on both buttocks, experienced unnecessary discomfort, and required an ED visit. Prior to the wounds worsening and the ED visit, the facility failed to determine and document what actions or interventions were needed to prevent further skin breakdown and communicate actions or interventions to staff on each shift. The facility also failed to consistently monitor the progress of each wound at least weekly. During an interview on 04/08/26 at 11:40 am, Staff 3 indicated the process for skin monitoring was to document progress weekly on skin check forms. She acknowledged the only skin check form she could find for Resident 2’s wounds was dated 03/10/26, and she had completed another one on 04/07/26. They were provided to the surveyor. * Review of the 03/10/26 skin check form revealed measurements were from the home health visit on 02/17/26, 21 days prior. The measurements were for the left coccyx wound and did not include any information regarding the right buttock wounds. During an interview on 04/09/26 at 10:05 am, Witness 1 (RN Home Health) indicated HH had been treating the resident’s wounds since 01/24/26 and were identified as stage 2 upon evaluation. The resident has been treated for one wound on the left buttock and three small wounds on the right buttock. Following the wound care on 04/09/26, Witness 1 stated, “The wounds on the right buttock look the best they have ever been” and were healing. With the resident’s permission, a surveyor observed the wounds on 04/09/26 and confirmed the wound on the left buttock had closed, and one wound remained open on the right buttock. The need to ensure that actions or interventions were determined and documented for changes of condition, actions or interventions were communicated to staff on all shifts, and changes were monitored consistent with the resident’s evaluated needs through resolution, with progress documented at least weekly, was reviewed with Staff 1 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 2 (ED, The Lodge), and Staff 3 at 3:03 pm on 04/07/26. They acknowledged the findings. b. Fall interventions identified on Resident 2’s 04/03/26 service plan indicated s/he was a moderate fall risk. The service plan instructed staff to provide shift safety checks, to use the resident’s walker when ambulating, to use his/her wheelchair safely, to complete safety rounding, to encourage the resident to wear supportive footwear, and to keep personal possessions and the call light within the resident’s reach. Observations of Resident 2 during the survey revealed s/he received wheelchair escorts to and from the bathroom and, when in the community, staff provided assistance with transfers and incontinence management, ensured s/he wore supportive footwear, and completed safety checks every 30 to 60 minutes. A walker and power wheelchair were in the resident’s apartment but s/he was no longer ambulatory and did not use the power wheelchair. Review of Resident 2’s 01/06/26 through 04/06/26 clinical record revealed the following: * On 01/04/26 Resident 2 had two non-injury falls in his/her living room. There was no documented evidence that fall interventions were identified and communicated to staff on all shifts or that interventions were implemented and monitored for effectiveness. * On 01/09/26 Resident 2 had a non-injury fall after self-transferring to his/her recliner. Interventions identified from the incident report included, “Staff to provide verbal cueing as needed, ensure resident has proper fitting footwear reminder, maintain clear pathways/remove clutter, keep assistive device in site [sic], and increase observation of resident during waking hours.” There was no documented evidence the facility communicated the new interventions to staff on all shifts, the interventions were implemented, or that staff monitored the interventions for effectiveness. * On 01/11/26 Resident 2 attempted to self-transfer and had a non-injury fall. There was no documented evidence new interventions were determined and communicated to staff on all shifts or that prior interventions were reviewed for effectiveness. * On 01/13/26 Resident 2 attempted to self-transfer and had a non-injury fall. There was no documented evidence new interventions were determined and communicated to staff on all shifts or that prior interventions were reviewed for effectiveness. There was no documented evidence the facility consistently determined and communicated fall interventions to staff on all shifts and monitored the interventions for implementation and effectiveness, consistent with the resident’s evaluated needs and service plan. On 04/08/26 at 1:10 pm, Staff 3 (Community RN) confirmed the interventions determined for the 01/09/26 fall were not communicated to staff on all shifts and monitored for implementation and effectiveness. She also acknowledged there was no documented evidence that new interventions were determined, communicated to staff on all shifts, or prior interventions were reviewed for effectiveness for the falls on 01/11/26 and 01/13/26. The need to ensure the facility identified and communicated interventions to staff on all shifts and to ensure residents were monitored consistent with their evaluated needs and service plan was discussed with Staff 1 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 2 (ED, The Lodge), and Staff 3 at 11:35 am on 04/08/26. They acknowledged the findings.

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 observation, 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 1 of 2 sampled residents (# 2) who experienced significant changes of condition. Resident 2’s wounds worsened, s/he experienced pain, and required an emergency department (ED) visit. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 moved into the facility in 06/2022 with diagnoses including heart failure. During the acuity interview on 04/06/26 at 9:30 am, Resident 2 was identified as having a pressure ulcer, had been needing more ADL assistance, and was receiving home health nursing and PT services. The resident's 01/06/26 through 04/06/26 clinical record was reviewed. The resident was observed, and interviews with staff and the resident were conducted. * Observations and interviews with Resident 2 and staff on 04/06/26 through 04/08/26 revealed Resident 2 preferred to sit in the recliner during the day, with a pressure relief cushion in place, and was being seen by HH nursing for wounds on his/her buttocks. * An observation note dated 01/12/26 identified redness to Resident 2’s groin and coccyx area and notified the Health and Wellness Director. * An observation note written by Staff 3 (Community RN), dated 01/16/26, four days after the coccyx redness was identified, documented direct care staff reported the resident had “bleeding on [his/her] coccyx.” Staff 3 recommended a shower to clean the area and requested “HH Wound Care … to assist with skin care needs and skin breakdown.” * Thirteen days after the wounds were noted as bleeding, on 01/29/26, a home health RN note indicated Resident 2 had “stage 2 pressure ulcers” on both buttocks and provided a brief description of the wound beds. Resident 2 experienced a significant change of condition related to pressure sores on both right and left buttocks. The facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed that documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. The wounds worsened, the resident experienced unnecessary and required an ED visit. During an interview on 04/08/26 at 1:10 pm, Staff 3 (Community RN) acknowledged there was no RN assessment for the resident’s stage 2 pressure sores. She indicated they were short-staffed when making the transition to the change of ownership in 10/2025 and the need for an assessment was overlooked. The need to ensure all significant changes of condition were assessed by an RN, with documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment, was discussed with Staff 1 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 2 (ED, The Lodge), and Staff 3 at 11:35 am on 04/08/26. They acknowledged the findings. Refer to C270, example 1a.

OAR 411-054-0037 (1)(b-g) Acuity Based Staffing Tool - ABST Time (1) DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN ACUITY-BASED STAFFING (b) Accurately capture care time and care elements that staff are providing to each resident as outlined in each individual service plan. Established care time must be resident specific, rather than a predetermined average. (c) Develop a staffing plan for each shift, that meets the scheduled and unscheduled needs of all residents. (d) Develop ABST reports and posted staffing plans that reflect distinct and segregated areas as outlined in OAR 411-054-0070(1). (e) If applicable, determine ABST time for residents on a Specific Needs Settings Contract and residents not on a Specific Needs Setting Contract to build posted staffing plan as outlined in this rule. (f) Develop written policies and procedures to accurately and consistently implement the ABST. The policy must explain how a facility evaluates and accounts for both scheduled and unscheduled resident needs. (g) Provide the relevant ABST information for a specific resident if requested by the Department, that specific resident, that specific resident’s legal representative, or the Long-Term Care Ombudsman. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to accurately capture care time and care elements staff were providing to residents for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, and 3). Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 02/2026 with diagnoses including atrial fibrillation, right below knee amputation, pacemaker, and stroke. The resident’s Acuity Based Staffing Tool (ABST) data, the 04/03/26 service plan, and change in plan of care communication notes were reviewed. Observations of the resident were made, and interviews with staff were conducted. The resident’s ABST calculation did not incorporate expected care time in the following areas: * Responding to call lights; * Monitoring physical conditions or symptoms; * Ensuring non-drug interventions for behaviors; * Providing treatments; * Providing non-drug interventions for pain management; * Medication administration, passing out medications; * Ambulation, escorting to and from meals or activities; * Helping with bowel and bladder management; and * Dressing and undressing. The need to ensure the ABST addressed the amount of staff time needed to provide care was discussed with Staff 1 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 2 (ED, The Lodge), and Staff 3 (Community RN) on 04/09/26 at 11:03 am. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 3 moved into the facility in 11/2018 with diagnoses including acute chronic diastolic (congestive) heart failure, unspecified atrial fibrillation, and unspecified delusional disorders. Observations of the resident, interviews with the resident and staff, and review of the 02/10/26 service plan and Resident 3’s ABST data was completed. Interviews with staff and the resident during the period of the survey confirmed Resident 3 was independent with his/her ADL’s. The following areas were not reflective of the time staff spent providing ADL assistance to the resident: * Hygiene and mouth care; * Dressing and undressing; and * Grooming (nail care and brushing hair). The need to ensure resident ABST evaluations captured care time and care elements that staff were providing to each resident as outlined in each individual service plan was reviewed with Staff 1 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 2 (ED, The Lodge), Staff 3 (Community RN), and Staff 4 (Interim Administrator) at 10:28 am on 04/09/26. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 06/2022 with diagnoses including heart failure. The resident’s Acuity Based Staffing Tool (ABST) data, and the 04/03/26 service plan, were reviewed. Observations of the resident were made, and interviews with staff were conducted. The resident’s ABST calculation did not incorporate expected care time in the following areas: * Safety checks, fall prevention; * Responding to call lights; * Repositioning in bed or chair; * Transferring in or out of bed or a chair; * Bathing; * Helping with bowel and bladder management; and * Dressing and undressing. The need to ensure the ABST addressed the amount of staff time needed to provide care was discussed with Staff 1 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 2 (ED, The Lodge), and Staff 3 (Community RN) on 04/09/26 at 11:35 am.

The staffing plan must outline the staffing numbers required to meet the scheduled and unscheduled needs of all residents in the facility, for each shift. The ABST and staffing plan must be reviewed at the frequency required in paragraph (4) of this rule. The facility must review the following and ensure accuracy between the posted staffing plan and ABST: (a) The total ABST care time required for the individual care elements as referenced in paragraph (3) of this rule. (b) Staffing plan must account for unscheduled care needs. (c) Documentation of consistently staffing to meet or exceed the posted staffing plan 24 hours a day, seven days a week. (d) The staffing requirements outlined in OAR 411-054-0070(1). (e) Any other applicable factors to be considered. (e.g., disruptions to normal facility operations.) (f) Time for paid or unpaid staff meal breaks must be accounted for and should not be included in the total scheduled staff time per shift.
