Plan of Correction

It was determined the facility failed to document what actions or interventions were needed for changes of condition, including resident specific instructions communicated to staff on each shift, weekly progress documented until the condition resolved and/or the facility failed to refer significant changes of condition to the facility RN for 4 of 4 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 3 and 4) who experienced changes of condition. 1. Resident 1: Will be monitored for further short term changes of condition, facility RN will ensure appropriate monitoring and interventions are communicated to staff and weekly progress notes are completed until the issue is resolved. RN will assess resident for significant changes of condition to determine necessary actions and then provide written instruction to the staff. Resident's SP will be updated to reflect changes (hospice admission, puree texture diet). Resident 2: Facility RN will review resident's condition and document weekly until resolved and ensure that current needs are reflected in the resident SP. Resident 3: No examples provided in SOD. Facility RN will review resident status, assess as needed, provide staff instructions and ensure the SP reflects the resident's current needs. Resident 4: Facility RN will review resident's current status and ensure any further changes of condition are assessed, staff are given instructions on appropriate care approaches and interventions monitored weekly until resolved. Resident's SP will be reviewed and updated to reflect current care needs. 2. The Senior Executive Director will in-service the Resident Care Director and RN on the process of reassessing the resident and updating the resident service plan upon any significant or short term change of condition. The RN will reassess a resident anytime there is a change of condition. All interventions put in place to meet the needs of the resident will be added in the evaluation and the service plan. The change of condition and updated service plan will be immediately communicated to the staff on each shift and documented in the 24 hr. report binder. The staff will be trained to identify changes in a residents physical, mental, and emotional functioning, document on the 24 hr. report, and notify the Nurse should any changes be noted. 3. The Facility Administrator will review all documentation and staff instructions related to resident changes of condition 5x/week for 1 month, then 3x/week for 1 month, then 1x/week for 1 month to ensure that interventions are appropriate, documentation is complete and the TSP or full service plan are updated as appropriate. While onsite weekly Consultants will review the 24-Hr Report and resident records for changes of condition, RN evaluation, appropriate actions communicated to staff, TSPs or permanent SP changes in places as needed. 4. The Facility Administrator will be reponsible to ensure the corrections are completed and maintained.

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 what actions or interventions were needed for changes of condition, communicate these instructions to staff each shift, and document on the progress of the conditions at least weekly until resolved, for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 14, 15 and 16) with changes of condition. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 14 was admitted to the facility in 06/2024, with diagnoses including hypertension, congestive heart failure, and osteoarthritis. Review of Resident 14's progress notes, dated 03/01/25 through 03/31/25, and interviews with staff revealed the following changes of condition: * On 03/24/25, the resident took a fall and was transported by EMS to the hospital; and * The resident had an infestation of bed bugs in his/her apartment. On 03/31/25, the surveyor observed PPE supplies outside Resident 14’s door. In an interview immediately after the observation, Staff 29 (MT/CG) stated the resident had bed bugs in his/her apartment, and this was the reason for the supplies. There was no documentation of the bed bugs in the resident’s clinical record, no interventions implemented for infection control or fall prevention, and the conditions were not monitored to resolution. On 04/01/25, the need to evaluate short-term changes of condition, determine and implement necessary interventions, communicate these instructions to staff, and monitor the conditions to resolution was discussed with Staff 17 (ED) and Staff 35 (RN). They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 15 moved into the assisted living community in 11/2021 with diagnoses including Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic chronic kidney disease and dementia.

The delegation process includes nursing assessment of the client in a specific situation, evaluation of the ability of the unlicensed persons, teaching the task, and observing the staff demonstrate the task. During the acuity interview on 09/17/24, Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (RN) identified nine residents who were administered insulin injections from unlicensed staff, including Resident 5, who was identified as receiving sliding scale insulin. Resident 5 moved into the memory care community in 09/2021 with diagnoses including right and left lower extremity amputation and Type 2 diabetes. Resident 5's MARs, reviewed from 09/01/24 through 09/16/24, revealed the resident received Lantus Solostar injections (insulin for diabetes) twice daily and Humalog injections (insulin for diabetes) three times daily as needed based on blood sugar result. The insulin had been administered by Staff 9 (Med Aid/CG), Staff 13 (Med Aid/CG), Staff 15 (Med Aid/CG) and Staff 16 (Med Aid/CG) on multiple occasions. Review of delegation records and the MAR, showed the following: RN assessment, dated 06/03/24, indicated that Resident 5's diabetes condition included irregular readings, with readings greater than 400 and as low as 53. The assessment stated care staff would be instructed in providing insulin injections to the resident. There was no documentation of the resident’s condition being stable or predictable; There was no documentation of the rationale for the frequency for reassessing the resident's condition based on the resident's needs; The initial evaluation for Staff 9, 13, 15, and 16’s skills and ability was completed on 07/16/24, 06/12/24, 06/04/24 and 06/04/24. However, there was no documentation of the rationale for deciding the task could be safely delegated to Staff 9, 13, 15 and 16; and Additionally, Staff 9, 13, 15 and 16 lacked documentations of the rationale for the frequency for supervising and reevaluating the unlicensed person based on the unlicensed person's skills and abilities. During the survey on 09/18/24 at 4:30 pm, Staff 2 was directed to assess Resident 5’s diabetes condition and ability to be delegated. On 09/20/24 at 9:30 am, the need to ensure all staff who administered insulin injections were appropriately delegated and supervised in accordance with OSBN Administrative Rules was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 14 (Senior Executive Director). They acknowledged the findings.

OAR 411-054-0055 (1)(e) Systems: Tracking Control Substances (e) The facility must have a system approved by a pharmacist consultant or registered nurse for tracking controlled substances and for disposal of all unused, outdated or discontinued medications administered by the facility. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to have a system in place for accurately tracking controlled substances administered by the facility for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#4) whose MARs and Controlled Substance Disposition logs were reviewed for accuracy. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 06/2021 with diagnoses including dementia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure. The resident's physician orders, the Controlled Substance Disposition logs and the MAR, dated 09/01/23 through 09/16/24, were reviewed. Resident 4 had physician orders for the following controlled medications: * Tramadol 50 mg – Take one tablet by mouth every eight hours as needed for pain. On the following dates, the Controlled Substance Disposition log showed that the medication had been administered, though the MAR did not have any documentation of the medication being given to the resident: *09/09/24 at 5:00 am; *09/09/24 at 5:00 pm; and *09/10/24 at 1:45 pm. During an interview on 09/19/24 at 2:30 pm, Staff 13 (Med Aid/CG) and Staff 1 (Administrator), acknowledged there were currently two separate log books and two medication cards for this medication, and there was no instruction to Medication Aids on which book or card to use. Staff 1 and Staff 13 were unable to describe why multiple cards and log books were being used for the same medication. The need to ensure the facility had an effective system for tracking controlled substances was reviewed with Staff 1 and Staff 14 (Senior Executive Director) at 9:45 am on 09/20/24. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

It was determined the facility failed to have a system in place for accurately tracking controlled substances administered by the facility for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#4) whose MARs and Controlled Substance Disposition logs were reviewed for accuracy. 1. Resident 4’s MAR will be reviewed, corrected, and reconciled with the Controlled Substance Books. All residents are at risk when controlled substances are not managed properly. Establishing compliant systems will benefit all residents. 2. All staff that assist in administering medications will be in-serviced by the RN on logging in, signing out, and counting narcotics. The narcotic log for each resident will be documented on when a narcotic is administered. The log will remain in the narcotic binder on the medication cart. At the end of each shift the oncominig and offgoing med tech will count the narcotics together. If there are any discrepencies with the count the med techs will immediately notify the RN/ED for further instruction. All controlled substance logs will be reviewed and updated/corrected as needed. 3.The RN/RCD will review the narcotic logs and count 5x/week for the next 90 days to ensure that all med. staff are following the Narcotic policy and protocols. The RN will count the narcotics once a shift 5x/wk with a med tech to ensure the count is completed correctly and is accurate. Facility Administrator will review the CS log 3x/week for 12 weeks for missing documentation. Consultants will audit CS books when onsite weekly. 4. The RN/ED will be responsible to see that the corrections are completed and monitored.

Plan of Correction

It was determined the facility failed to ensure MARs were accurate, included medication-specific instructions, and had resident specific parameters and instructions for PRN medications for 4 of 4 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 3 and 4) whose MARs were reviewed. 1.All residents are at risk if the MARS are not accurate. Resident 1 & 2: Facility will obtain clarification from the providers to ensure resident specific parameters are applied to the bowel medication orders to clearly define the order in which the medications should be administered and time frames between administrations. Resident 3: Facility will obtain clarification and resident specific parameters from the provider on the order in which the pain and agitation and anxiety medications should be administered and the time frames between administrations. Will educate staff on the importance of accurate MAR documentation for resident safety. Resident 4: Order parameters for pain medications, medications for shortness of breath, and medications for anxiety or agitation will be clarified with physician and updated. 2. All Med Techs will be in-serviced on reading the MAR and following the instructions. If there is a med which is not on the MAR, directions differ from the label, or if the med. is on the cart but not on the MAR. the Med Tech will immediately notify the RCD/RN. The RN will review all resident orders to ensure appropriate parameters are in place. The RCD/RN will conduct weekly MAR to cart audits to ensure the medications are on the cart and that the instructions match the med label. The audits will be documented and kept in a MAR audit binder. If there are any descrepencies the RN/RCD will immediately reach out the physician and pharmacy for clarification. 3.RN will audit all resident orders quarterly ongoing. RN will randomly audit orders in: 5 resident charts weekly for 4 weeks then 3 resident charts weekly for 4 weeks then 1 resident chart weekly for 4 weeks MAR to cart audits will be performed weekly ongoing. RN will review audit results with Facility Administrator 1x/week for 3 months. Consultants will perform EMAR and med cart audits weekly. 4. Facility Administrator and RN will be responsible for corrections.
