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 observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure injuries of unknown cause and allegations of abuse were promptly investigated to rule out abuse and/or reported to the local SPD office when required, for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) reviewed with incidents. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 04/2020 with diagnoses including dementia and seizures. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's 07/21/24 service plan, 07/01/24 through 10/07/24 temporary service plans, progress notes, physician communications, and incident investigations were completed. The resident was able to communicate needs to staff and required full assistance of one staff for ADL care and transfers. The resident was forgetful and did not fully recognize his/her limitations and had poor safety awareness. The resident could move his/her wheelchair around the facility at will. The resident was identified as having fragile skin. Review of the resident's records showed the following: * A progress note dated 07/03/24 indicated the resident had a small bruise to the knuckle of the right hand. The resident did not know how it had occurred. No investigation was documented regarding the bruise. * A progress note dated 09/25/24, indicated the resident told staff, “A long time ago, someone hit (him/her) on the nose purposefully while caring for (him/her).” The resident was unable to provide any other information. There was no additional information within the progress notes about the bruise or the allegation of abuse, related to what occurred, how abuse and neglect was ruled out, the staff response to the resident incidents, and follow-up action related to the incidents. The facility was asked to report both incidents to the local SPD office. A confirmation of the reports was provided to the surveyor. The need to ensure all incidents were promptly investigated to rule out abuse was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (RN) and Staff 3 (Administrative Assistant) on 10/08/24 and 10/9/24. The staff acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 04/2024 with diagnoses including dementia and hip fracture. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's 10/01/24 service plan, 07/01/24 through 10/07/24 temporary service plans, progress notes, physician communications, and incident investigations were completed. The resident was able to communicate needs to staff and was able to complete most of his/her ADLs without assistance. Staff intermittently assisted the resident with hygiene and incontinent care when requested. The resident spent most of his/her time in his/her apartment. The resident came out for meals and took himself/herself to the restroom. The resident primarily used a wheelchair to get around the facility because of hip and back fractures. Review of the resident’s records showed the following: * A progress note dated 09/02/24 indicated a caregiver was “too rough and in a hurry, with too much damn energy” and “ripped (his/her) shirt over (his/her) head.” The resident indicated this was how the scab on his/her head came off which caused the resident’s head to bleed. There was no additional information within the progress notes about the allegation of abuse related to what occurred, how abuse and neglect were ruled out, the staff response to the resident incidents, and follow-up action related to the incidents. The facility was asked to report the incident to the local SPD office. A confirmation of the report was provided to the surveyor. The need to ensure all incidents were promptly investigated to rule out abuse and/or neglect was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (RN), and Staff 3 (Administrative Assistant) on 10/08/24 and 10/9/24. The staff acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1.) All incidents from the samples pulled have been reported and turned into Adult Protective Services for investigation. Confirmations were turned in to the surveyor. 2.) The Administration team and facility RN will review OAR 411-054-0028 (Reporting and Investigating Abuse and Other Actions Reflecting Resident Welfare). After reviewing incident reports and skin assessments, the Administrator and facility RN will report allegations of abuse to Adult Protective Services regarding bruising, skin tears and other injuries of unknown cause as well as resident reported abuse after our internal investigation is completed and abuse and neglect cannot be ruled out. 3.) Injuries, skin impairments and allegations of abuse or neglect will be immediately reported by staff to the administrator and/or facility RN. After the administrator and/or facility RN performs the investigation of the reported injury, impairment or allegation; if unable to rule out abuse and neglect, the Administrator and/or facility RN will call and/or email Adult Protective Services within 24 hours to report the reported incident. Local law enforcement will be notified of possible abuse/neglect if the abuse appears to be a crime. 4.) The Administrator and facility RN will be responsible for compliance.

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 an RN assessment was completed in a timely manner, which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 2, 3, and 5) who experienced significant changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 04/2024 with diagnoses including failure to thrive and dementia. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's 10/01/24 service plan and 07/01/24 through 10/07/24 temporary service plans, progress notes, physician communications, and incident investigations were completed. The resident required intermittent assistance from staff for ADL care. The resident frequently refused meals if agitated but would accept a health shake in its place. The resident was able to make some needs known but was very independent and had poor safety awareness. The resident came out of his/her room only for meals and to use the restroom and spent the majority of his/her time in his/her room. Multiple observations of the resident between 10/07/24 and10/09/24 showed the resident in his/her room with the door closed. The resident came out for meals when staff told him/her the meal was ready. The resident brought himself/herself to the table, ate quickly and returned to his/her apartment. The resident completed his/her own transfers and toileting without seeking staff assistance. a. The resident experienced a fall on 08/01/24 with pain. The resident was sent out to the emergency room for evaluation and admitted for surgical repair of a left hip fracture. b. The resident had a choking episode with the Heimlich maneuver performed, on 08/11/24, and was sent out to the hospital for evaluation. The resident was found to have an L4 and L5 spinal fracture suspected as a result of the Heimlich maneuver. The resident had a history of previous spinal injuries, it was not determined if the currently diagnosed spinal fractures were an old or new injury. In interviews between 10/07/24 and 10/08/24, the resident indicated s/he had no concerns and had plenty to eat and drink. The resident stated s/he ate when s/he wanted to eat. The resident indicated his/her pain was the same as always and did not feel the fractures had affected much but his/her walking. In interviews between 10/07/24 and 10/08/24, Staff 8 (CG) and Staff 11 (MT) indicated the resident was independent with meals. The resident would become irritated if s/he had to wait too long, so staff notified him/her when food was coming out of the kitchen. Staff 11 stated if the resident had to wait s/he would become irritated, leave the table, and refuse the meal. The staff indicated the resident completed most ADLs on his/her own. The staff attempted to offer help and ensure the resident was well cleaned between incontinent episodes when the resident would allow. Staff 11 indicated the resident was very independent and wanted to do things his/her own way. In interview on 10/09/24, Staff 2 (RN) indicated she was concerned about weight loss when the resident came back from the hospital and had put the resident on weekly weights as well as trying to get the resident’s appetite stimulant back on the orders. Staff 2 further indicated she did an assessment on 08/05/24 that discussed the resident’s weight loss and that the resident had experienced a hip fracture. Staff 2 did not document an additional assessment regarding the back fractures. She did not have any additional documentation regarding changes in the resident’s ADL needs or interventions implemented for the fractures. The facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed in a timely manner for weight loss, hip fracture, and a back fracture, which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment, was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (RN) on 10/09/24. The staff acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 12/2022 with diagnoses including dementia. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's 09/22/24 service plan, 07/10/24 through 10/03/24 temporary service plans, progress notes, physician communications, and incident investigations were completed. The resident required intermittent assistance from staff for ADL care. The resident was able to eat independently with some reminders to chew and swallow slowly. The resident preferred to stay in their apartment but would typically attend all three meals in the dining room. The resident was able to make some needs known but was very independent and did not always make safe choices. Multiple observations of the resident between 10/07/24 and10/09/24 showed the resident in his/her room with the door closed. The resident came out for meals when staff told him/her the meal was ready. The resident brought himself/herself to the table with his/her walker, ate, and then would return to his/her apartment. The staff attempted to keep the resident’s door open for safety, but the resident would get up and close the door. The resident frequently completed ADLs on his/her own without requesting staff assistance. Staff attempted to help as often as they could get the resident to accept. The resident experienced a fall on 08/27/24 resulting in right arm pain. The resident was sent out to the emergency room for evaluation and found to have a right elbow fracture. In interviews between 10/07/24 and 10/08/24, the resident indicated s/he had no concerns. S/he could take care of things that s/he needed and ask for help as s/he needed it. The resident indicated pain was okay at this time. In interview on 10/09/24, Staff 2 (RN) indicated she did not notice a big change for the resident when his/her elbow was fractured. Staff 2 stated she could have documented a more thorough assessment of the fracture. She did not have any additional documentation regarding changes in the resident’s ADL needs or interventions implemented. The facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed for an elbow fracture, which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (RN) on 10/09/24. The staff acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 05/2019 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease and pica. The resident’s 08/23/24 service plan, 07/09/24 through 10/03/24 progress notes, temporary service plans, and weight and meal intake records were reviewed, and staff were interviewed. The following was identified: *06/2024 – Resident weighed 110 pounds; and *07/2024 – Resident weighed 102 pounds. Resident 3 experienced a weight loss of 8 pounds, or 7.27% of his/her total body weight, in 30 days. This constituted a severe weight loss and a significant change of condition. The resident was admitted to hospice services on 07/22/24. On 07/25/24 Staff 2 (RN) made a “Late entry for 7/22/24” noting the resident was admitted to hospice for “’end of life care.” Staff 2 also noted “[S/he] continues to have … weight loss although appears to be eating adequate amount . . .” She further noted the resident had a history of cancer and the resident’s family did not wish to pursue treatment but wanted to make him/her comfortable for end-of-life care. The resident’s service plan identified the resident was on a puree diet and drank “regular fluids/foods from a cup” and s/he received a “house shake with a snack 3 x daily.” Interviews with staff during the survey indicated the resident was given fluids and pureed food in a “sippy cup,” which s/he was able to hold themselves “most of the time.” Staff indicated they sometimes fed the resident yogurt or applesauce. During the survey, the resident was observed on multiple occasions to be holding and drinking from a “sippy cup.” Meal intake records revealed the resident’s intake was consistently 100% of each meal. Between 07/09/24 and 10/09/24, of the 189 meals documented there were 14 occasions on which s/he did not eat 100%. The resident’s 09/01/24 through 10/07/24 MARs revealed the resident received health shakes and snacks three times a day. In an interview on 10/09/24, Staff 2 (RN) reported caregivers weighed residents, entered the weights into the eMAR, and she reviewed them weekly. She indicated staff do not usually inform her when residents lose weight. She stated she discovered the resident’s eight-pound weight loss on 07/16/24 and had him/her admitted to hospice on 07/22/24. The need to ensure the facility RN assessed all significant changes of condition, including findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment, in a timely manner was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (RN) on 10/09/24 at 2:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1.) Service plans from samples pulled have been updated to reflext the most recent changes and easily readable directions for staff as well what is to be being monitored for the resident. Incident reports completed and sent to APS, surveys notified. 2.) Re-education provided to Med Techs and caregivers in regard to community alert charting and temporary service plans. Facility RN will ensure that weekly progress notes are completed on residents that are being monitored. Administration team and facility RN will assure routine audits of resident care related documentation. 3.) Audits will be done daily/weekly. 4.) Facility RN and Administrator will be responsible for compliance.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure that fencing was no less than six feet in height and constructed to reduce the risk of elopement. Findings include, but are not limited to: A tour of the facility's memory care courtyard for House B, on 10/07/24, showed four sections of black metal fencing that was less than six feet in height. Three sections were located on top of a raised plantar bed area and ranged from 5 ft 5 inches to 5 ft 6 inches in height. The center section had two concrete pillars with a gap between the top of the pillar and the fencing that was approximately 4-5 inches in height. An additional section of black fencing facing the parking lot was measured at 5 ft 9 inches in height. A tour of the perimeter pathways for resident use around House A, on 10/07/24, showed two broken fence slats in the wood fence. Only one resident was noted in the front of House B during survey. The resident came and went to the bench nearest the building with no attempts to go near the fencing. Observations of the current residents who resided in House B, and interviews with staff showed none of the residents appeared to have the strength, balance, or mobility to step up on onto the brick wall at that time. The fencing sections that were less than six feet in height, gaps above the concrete pillars and broken fence slats, was shown to and discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 9 (Maintenance) on 10/07/24 and 10/08/24. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1.) The maintenance department has contacted two local fencing companies to extend the front and side fences. The center section with the gap between the top of the fence and the concrete pillar has been covered with metal and the broken fence slats have been replaced. 2.) The maintenance department has added observation of the fencing to their walking rounds of the facility grounds. 3.) Monthly walking rounds by the maintenance department and quarterly walking rounds by the Administartor and/or Administrative Assistant. 4.) The maintenance department is responsible for the corrections and the Administrator will be responsible for compliance.
