OAR 411-054-0028 (1-3) Reporting & Investigating Abuse-Other Action (Amended 12/15/21)(1) The facility must have policies and procedures in place to assure the prevention and appropriate response to any incident. In the case of incidents of abuse, suspected abuse, or injury of unknown cause, policies and procedures must follow the requirements outlined below. In the case of incidents that are not abuse or injuries of unknown cause where abuse has been ruled out, the facility must have policies and procedures in place to respond appropriately, which may include such things as re-assessment, monitoring, or medication review. (2) ABUSE REPORTING. Abuse is prohibited. The facility employees, agents and licensee must not permit, aid, or engage in abuse of residents who are under their care. (a) STAFF REPORTING. All facility employees are required to immediately report abuse and suspected abuse to the local SPD office, or the local AAA, the facility administrator, or to the facility administrator's designee. (b) FACILITY REPORTING. The facility administrator, or designee, must immediately notify the local SPD office, or the local AAA, of any incident of abuse or suspected abuse, including events overheard or witnessed by observation. (c) LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY. The local law enforcement agency must be called first when the suspected abuse is believed to be a crime (e.g., rape, murder, assault, burglary, kidnapping, theft of controlled substances, etc.). (d) INJURY OF UNKNOWN CAUSE. Physical injury of unknown cause must be reported to the local SPD office, or the local AAA, as suspected abuse, unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably concludes and documents that the physical injury is not the result of abuse. (3) FACILITY INVESTIGATION. In addition to immediately reporting abuse or suspected abuse to SPD, AAA, or the law enforcement agency, the facility must promptly investigate all reports of abuse and suspected abuse and take measures necessary to protect residents and prevent the reoccurrence of abuse. Investigation of suspected abuse must document: (a) Time, date, place and individuals present; (b) Description of the event as reported; (c) Response of staff at the time of the event; (d) Follow-up action; and (e) Administrator's review. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to conduct investigations of injuries of unknown cause to rule-out abuse or report the injuries as suspected abuse to the local Seniors and People with Disabilities (SPD) office, for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#2) with injuries of unknown cause. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 was admitted to the Memory Care Facility in 2021 with diagnoses which included dementia and required staff assistance with ADL care needs. Facility Observation Notes, reviewed from 07/01/25 through 09/09/25, revealed the following: * On 07/30/25, staff documented that the resident had “slight bruising/swelling to the corner of brow of the right eye…"; and * On 08/28/25, the resident was found with a "small cut on the right middle knuckle of the right hand…" There was no documented evidence the facility immediately investigated and documented that the injuries were not the result of abuse or neglect, or evidence the facility reported the injuries to the local protective services office as suspected abuse/neglect. Additional information was requested from Staff 1 (MCC Administrator) on 09/10/25 at 10:15 am. On 09/10/25, Staff 1 informed the surveyor that the injuries had not been investigated to rule out abuse or neglect. The need to ensure injuries of unknown cause were investigated promptly or reported if necessary was discussed with Staff 1. She stated she would investigate the incidents and report the injuries to the local protective services office. Verification that the facility had reported the incidents to the local SPD office was received during the survey.

An alternative process may be used only with a written exception from the Department.(A) The MAR may be signed as the medications are set-up or poured. Medications must not be set-up in advance for more than one administration time. If a medicine cup or other individual container is used to set-up the medications, it must be placed in a closed compartment labeled with the resident's name. Changes to the MAR that occur after the medication is delivered, must be documented by the same staff person who administered the medication.(B) The facility may choose to sign the MAR after the medication is administered to a specific resident and prior to the next resident-specific medication or treatment.(b) MEDICATION RECORD. At minimum, the medication record for each resident that the facility administers medications to, must include:(A) Current month, day and year.(B) Name of medications, reason for use, dosage, route and date and time given.(C) Any medication specific instructions, if applicable (e.g., significant side effects, time sensitive dosage, when to call the prescriber or nurse).(D) Resident allergies and sensitivities, if any.(E) Resident specific parameters and instructions for p.r.n. medications.(F) Initials of the person administering the medication. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an accurate MAR was maintained and PRN parameters were followed for all facility administered medications for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) whose MARs were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 was admitted in 2021 with diagnosis which included dementia and was receiving hospice services as of the survey. Resident 1 had orders for: * Sertraline HCL 25 mg one tablet twice a day for dementia. According to the MARs, reviewed from 08/01/25 through 09/09/25, staff documented on multiple occasions between 08/29/25 through 09/02/25, that the medications were not available. However, there were also two occasions that staff initialed the medications were administered during the same time frame. The discrepancies on the MAR were reviewed with Staff 1 (MCC Administrator) on 09/10/25 at 11:25 am. She confirmed that staff initialed that the medications had been administered when they were unavailable. She acknowledged the MAR was inaccurate. 2. Resident 2 moved into the MCC in 2022 with diagnoses which included dementia and was receiving hospice services as of the survey. Resident 2 had orders for the following: * Lorazepam 0.5 mg one tablet every two hours as needed for anxiety.

They acknowledged the parameters were not followed. The need to ensure PRN parameters were followed was reviewed with Staff 1 (MCC Administrator) and Staff 5 (Campus Administrator) on 09/11/25. They acknowledged the findings.
