Findings include, but are not limited to: Observations during the survey, from 04/13/26 to 04/15/26, showed there was a lack of scheduled and unscheduled activities provided for residents living in the memory care community. An activity calendar was posted in the hallway which noted scheduled activities for each day of the week. The activities noted for 04/15/26 included the following: * 9:00 am – Coffee and the News; and * 10:00 am – Walk. Observations made on 04/15/26 confirmed the 9:00 am and 10:00 am scheduled activities did not take place. The television remained on in the common area throughout the survey, with five to six residents watching it at any given time. Other residents were observed wandering the hallways. Residents who were in their apartments were not approached for activity invitations during observations. An interview with Staff 10 (CG/MA) on 04/15/26 at 10:18 am confirmed there would be no activities that day, as the staff member who had been filling in would be working as a caregiver. On 04/15/26 at 11:35 am, Staff 1 (Administrator) confirmed the employee who had been in charge of Activities was currently on leave. The need to ensure the facility provided a daily program of social and recreational activities that were based on individual and group interests, and physical, mental, and psychosocial needs was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 3 (Office Manager) on 04/15/26 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 interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure short-term changes of condition were monitored until resolution for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) who experienced short-term changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1.Resident 1 moved into the memory care community in 02/2026 with diagnoses including severe Alzheimer's dementia.

An interview with Staff 2 (RCC) on 04/14/26 at 11:00 am confirmed the above-mentioned changes of condition were not monitored, with weekly progress noted until the condition resolved. Staff 2 stated their system automatically set monitoring for three days, and if they did not manually extend it, the monitoring automatically discontinued. The need to ensure changes of condition were monitored, with weekly progress noted until resolution, was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 3 (Office Manager) on 04/15/26 at 11:35 am.
