Based on interview and record review it was confirmed the facility failed to exercise reasonable precautions against any condition that may threaten the health, safety, or welfare of the residents. Findings include:
During separate interviews on 11/30/2022, both Staff #1 (S1) and Staff #4 (S4) stated that on 10/24/2022 Staff #7 (S7) did bring their infant child into work while on shift. S1 stated that they gave S7 permission to have the child in the medication room for a couple hours until S7 found someone to watch the child.
A review of the job description of the medication technician and the facility's form of communication to all staff called Voicefriend. The Voicefriend indicates that a message was sent to the staff on 10/26/2022 stating, " Good morning, I wanted to reach out to all of you and let you know that the State of Oregon has notified us children are not allowed to come to work with you. If you are on the clock your child must not be here in the building. This goes for staff meetings as well. If you need help finding daycare, please let me know as there are a lot of resources out there and I can put you in touch with those resources."
On 11/30/2022, these findings were reviewed and acknowledged by S1.
Plan of Correction: S1 stated after being notified this was not acceptable to have staff members children in the facility during their shift, they pulled S7 off the floor and sent them home. S1 sent a memo through Voicefriend to all the staff to inform the staff.
