This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure incidents and injuries of unknown cause were promptly investigated to rule out abuse and reported to the local Seniors and People with Disabilities Office (SPD) if abuse or suspected abuse could not be ruled out for 3 of 3 sampled resident (#s 1, 2, and 5) who had reportable incidents. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 07/2021 with diagnoses including Parkinson’s disease. Interviews with staff and review of Resident 5's clinical record including interdisciplinary notes, dated 09/03/24 through 11/27/24, service plan dated 11/26/24 and Interim Service Plans (ISPs) revealed the following: a. The following incidents were identified: * 09/07/24 – Found on floor; * 09/15/24 – Found on floor; and * 09/26/24 – Found on floor. Resident 5’s service plan noted s/he was a fall risk, required one person to assist with transfers, and used a wheelchair with escort for mobility. Staff were instructed to walk with the resident to destinations for safety as s/he was able. The following fall precautions were included in the service plan: * Floor is free from clutter and trip hazards; * Bed in low position when s/he was in bed; * Proper fitting shoes and if not wearing shoes, ensure nonskid socks were on; and * Safety and toileting check every hour. The facility lacked documented evidence the incidents were investigated to determine if the resident’s service plan was being followed at the time of the incidents and to rule out neglect of care as the cause for the incidents. b. The following injuries of unknown cause were identified: * 09/28/24 - Skin tear to the right elbow. “…unclear when/how skin tear occurred.”; *10/04/24 – Skin tear to right outer forearm. “CG came and reported to this licensed nurse that member has another skin tear of unknown cause, however member’s spouse has multiple times assisted or attempted to assist member [out of bed] or into bathroom without calling for help until s/he is done.”; and *10/20/24 – Laceration of right hand with possible arterial injury and skin avulsion. The facility was required to immediately investigate the incidents and injuries of unknown cause to rule out abuse or reported to the local SPD office as suspected abuse if abuse could not be ruled out. On 12/05/24 Staff 3 (Director of Nursing) confirmed there was no documented evidence the facility immediately investigated Resident 5’s incidents and injuries of unknown cause to rule out abuse or reported to the local SPD office as suspected abuse if abuse could not be ruled out.

Noted open area (skin tear) to Lt. outer calf.”; and * An 11/15/24 interdisciplinary note stated, “Member on alert skin tear on the right lower extremity below [his/her] knee.” The above incidents constituted injuries of unknown cause, which required an immediate facility investigation to rule out abuse or suspected abuse. An interview with Staff 1 (Director of Assisted Living Services) on 12/04/24 at 11:10 am confirmed there was no documented evidence the facility completed an immediate investigation that ruled out abuse and suspected abuse for the above injuries of unknown cause. Surveyor requested the facility report the two incidents to the local SPD office and confirmation was received on 12/04/24 at 4:10 pm. The need to ensure injuries of unknown cause were immediately investigated to rule out abuse and suspected abuse and/or reported to the local SPD office if necessary was discussed with Staff 1 on 12/05/24 at 5:00 pm. The findings were acknowledged. 3. Resident 2 was admitted into the facility in 09/2023 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease.

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 ensure actions and interventions were determined, documented, and communicated to staff on each shift and weekly progress was noted to resolution for short-term changes of condition for 2 of 4 residents (#s 2 and 5) who had changes of condition. Resident 2 experienced severe, ongoing weight loss. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 06/2023 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease, chronic diarrhea, and chronic pancreatitis. During the acuity interview at 9:58 am on 12/03/24, the resident was identified as having experienced weight loss, as well as being provided a daily nutritional shake. The resident’s 07/01/24 to 12/03/24 interdisciplinary notes and interim service plans (ISPs), 09/18/24 service plan, 11/01/24 to 12/03/24 TARs, current signed physician orders, and 06/07/24 to 12/03/24 weight logs were reviewed. Interviews with staff were conducted, and observations of the resident were made. Review of the resident’s service plan indicated s/he was on meal monitoring. Staff were instructed to “document meal percentage eaten.” The resident’s history of weight loss was not addressed on the service plan. Review of the TAR indicated the resident had an order for and was receiving Ensure “three times daily with meals,” staff were to remind the resident of meals, and staff were to obtain weights weekly and “notify [resident’s doctor] if gains 2 pounds in 2 days or 5+ pounds in a week.” The following weights were documented in the resident record: * 06/07/24 – 114 pounds; * 07/04/24 – 104.6 pounds; * 08/06/24 – 102.5 pounds; * 08/13/24 – 98 pounds; * 09/10/24 – 100 pounds; * 10/08/24 – 98 pounds; * 11/12/24 – 94.5 pounds; and * 12/04/24 – 87 pounds (requested by survey). Between 06/07/24 to 07/04/24, the resident experienced a severe weight loss of 9.4 pounds, or 8.2% of his/her body weight. Between 06/07/24 to 09/12/24, the resident experienced a severe weight loss of 14 pounds, or 12.2% of his/her body weight. Resident 2 continued to lose weight and experienced a severe weight loss of 7.5 pounds or 7.9% of his/her body weight between 11/12/24 and 12/04/24. Interviews with staff and observations of the resident from 12/03/24 to 12/05/24 indicated the resident was not able to verbalize his/her wants and needs, including food and liquid preferences. Staff reported s/he had a poor appetite, and s/he would often eat less than 50% of his/her meals. They reported s/he “never” finished his/her nutritional supplement. Staff reported his/her favorite foods were cereal and ice cream. Staff reported the resident ate all meals in the facility dining room. The resident was observed eating lunch on 12/03/24 and breakfast and lunch on 12/04/24. Foods offered included cereal in milk, half of a cut up banana, chicken salad, split pea soup, vegetable soup, pasta, and ice cream. A nutritional shake was not observed to be offered at lunch on 12/03/24. The resident ate 100% of cereal at breakfast and 100% of the soup offered on both lunch occasions. S/he was otherwise observed taking one to three bites of the rest of the food offered and taking one to two drinks of the nutritional supplement. S/he was not observed eating the ice cream offered. S/he was observed leaving the table abruptly at both lunch observations. Staff were not observed to redirect him/her to the rest of the meal. One staff was observed encouraging the resident to eat on one occasion. Staff were not observed to offer the resident an alternative meal if s/he did not eat the one offered. There was no documented evidence the facility monitored current interventions for effectiveness and/or developed new interventions. There was no documented evidence the weight loss was monitored at least weekly with progress noted. At 1:00 pm on 12/04/24, Staff 1 (Director of Assisted Living Services) confirmed the lack of monitoring current interventions, developing new interventions, and monitoring the weight loss with weekly progress noted. The failure to monitor current interventions for effectiveness, develop new interventions, and monitor the weight loss with weekly progress noted put Resident 2 at risk and constituted an immediate threat to his/her health and safety. An immediate plan of correction to address the severe ongoing weight loss was requested from Staff 1 on 12/04/24 at 3:50 pm. The plan of correction was received and accepted by the survey team on 12/04/24 at 6:20 pm. The immediate risk was addressed; however, the facility will need to evaluate the overall system failure associated with the licensing violation. The need to ensure actions or interventions for changes of condition were determined, documented, and communicated to staff on each shift with weekly progress noted to resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Director of Assisted Living Services) at 3:54 pm on 12/05/24. She acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 07/2021 with diagnoses including Parkinson’s disease. The resident's 09/03/24 through 11/27/24 interdisciplinary notes, 11/26/24 service plan, and Interim Service Plans (ISPs) were reviewed and revealed the resident experienced the following short-term changes of condition: * 09/08/24 - Skin tear to right elbow; * 10/04/24 - Skin tear to right outer forearm; and * 10/19/24 – Skin tear to posterior right hand with arterial bleed. The facility lacked documented evidence the skin conditions were monitored with progress noted at least weekly through resolution. The need to ensure short-term changes of condition were monitored with progress noted at least weekly through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Director of Assisted Living Services) and Staff 3 (Director of Nursing) on 12/05/24. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. Resident 2 has been assessed for weight loss and interventions developed, and ongoing monitoring initiated to monitor effectiveness of interventions. Resident 5’s skin issues have resolved. 2. Weights are collected monthly and reviewed by the RN. Weekly and daily weights have been initiated as required and weights reviewed by the nursing team for changes. Residents at risk for weight changes have been added to the whiteboard for ongoing monitoring. Progress to be noted weekly and interventions revised as necessary. All residents with skin concerns have been added to the whiteboard which will be used to track weekly monitoring until resolution. All nurses to take the NurseLearn modules on change of condition. All change of condition will be monitored until resolution noted by the nurse. Interim Service Plans and alert charting to be reviewed in the clinical meeting. 3.

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 interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure a timely RN assessment was completed including resident status, RN findings, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 1 of 2 residents (#2) who experienced a significant change of condition. Resident 2 experienced severe, ongoing weight loss. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 06/2023 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease, chronic diarrhea, and chronic pancreatitis. During the acuity interview at 9:57 am on 12/03/24, the resident was identified as having experienced weight loss. The resident’s 07/01/24 to 12/03/24 interdisciplinary notes and interim service plans (ISPs), 09/18/24 service plan, 11/01/24 to 12/03/24 TARs and current signed physician orders, and 06/07/24 to 12/03/24 weight logs were reviewed. Interviews with staff were conducted, and observations of the resident were made. The following weights were documented in the resident record: * 06/07/24 – 114 pounds; * 07/04/24 – 104.6 pounds; * 08/06/24 – 102.5 pounds; * 08/13/24 – 98 pounds; * 09/10/24 – 100 pounds; * 10/08/24 – 98 pounds; * 11/12/24 – 94.5 pounds; and * 12/04/24 – 87 pounds (requested by survey).

OAR411-004-0020(2)(i) Individual freedom & Support: Activities (2) Provider owned, controlled, or operated residential settings must have all of the following qualities: (i) Each individual has the freedom and support to control his or her own schedule and activities. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure individuals had the freedom and support to control his or her own schedule and activities for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#2) and two unsampled residents. Findings include, but are not limited to: A tour of the facility on 12/05/24 at 11:30 am identified the assisted living consisted of four floors within a larger high-rise building. During the acuity interview on 12/03/24 at 9:57 am, three residents were identified as at risk for elopement and having WanderGuards (a device worn on the resident’s person or mobility device that alerted staff when a resident attempted to leave a predetermined area of the facility). Interviews with direct care staff conducted on 12/03/24 indicated an alarm sounded when a resident with a WanderGuard attempted to exit any floor of the facility, and staff were to redirect the resident back to the facility. The residents’ HCBS right to freedom to control one’s own schedule and activities was being limited by the use of a WanderGuard device. During an interview on 12/05/24 at 12:56 pm, Staff 1 (Director of Assisted Living Services) and Staff 2 (Vice President of Health and Wellness) confirmed the use of the WanderGuards to protect residents who might become lost or injured if they left the facility. They further confirmed the facility had not completed the approved form to implement the limitation and had not documented the unsampled and sampled residents’ consent to the limitation. The need to ensure the facility allowed individuals the freedom and support to control his or her own schedule and activities was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 2 on 12/05/24 at 12:56 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. The use of WanderGuards has been reviewed, and residents who continue to use these will have an Individual Based Limitation (IBL) completed for this. 2. Individual Based Limitations will be implemented for residents requiring WanderGuards for safety. IBL process has been reviewed with the clinical team by the consultant team. Documentation of the IBL process will be reviewed by the consultant team. 3. Monthly in the quality improvement meeting. 4. Administrator.

OAR411-004-0040(1) Limitations: Threats To Health And Safety (1) When conditions under OAR 411-004-0020(2)(d) to (2)(j) may not be met due to threats to the health and safety of an individual or others, provider owned, controlled, or operated residential settings must apply individually-based limitations as described in this rule. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure an Individually-Based Limitation (IBL) was based on specific assessed needs by completing and signing a program approved form documenting the consent to limiting 1 of 1 sampled resident (#2) and two unsampled residents’ right to freedom to control one’s own schedule and activities, was only implemented with the informed consent of the individual or, as applicable, the legal representative of the individual. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 06/2023 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease and had been identified in the acuity interview on 12/03/24 as posing an elopement risk. Review of Resident 2’s clinical record including the current service plan dated 09/18/24 identified the following: * Resident 2’s HCBS right to freedom to control one’s own schedule and activities was being limited by the use of a WanderGuard device. 2. During the acuity interview on 12/03/24 two unsampled residents were reported to also use a WanderGuard device. During an interview on 12/05/24 at 12:56 pm, Staff 1 (Director of Assisted Living) and Staff 2 (Vice President of Health and Wellness) confirmed the facility had not completed the approved form to implement the limitation and had not documented the sampled and unsampled residents’ consent to the limitation. There was no documented evidence the facility completed a program approved form that justified and documented at minimum all the following requirements: • The specific and individualized assessed need justifying the IBL; • The positive interventions and supports used prior to any IBL; • Less intrusive methods that have been tried but did not work; • A clear description of the limitation that is directly proportionate to the specific assessed need; • Regular collection and review of data to measure the ongoing effectiveness of the IBL; • Established time limits for periodic reviews of the IBL to determine if the limitation should be terminated or remains necessary; • The informed consent of the individual or, as applicable, the legal representative of the individual, including any discrepancy between the wishes of the individual and the consent of the legal representative; and • An assurance that the interventions and support do not cause harm to the individual. The need to ensure the facility completed and maintained a signed, program approved form which documented the consent to limit a resident’s freedom to control one’s own schedule and activities and ensured the form was signed by the individual, or, if applicable, the legal representative of the individual was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 2 on 12/05/24 at 12:56 pm. They acknowledged the findings and provided verification that the IBL process was started prior to survey exit. Refer to H 1522.

Plan of Correction

1. The use of WanderGuards has been reviewed, and residents who continue to use these will have an Individual Based Limitation (IBL) completed for this. 2. Individual Based Limitations will be implemented for residents using WanderGuards. IBL process has been reviewed with the clinical team by the consultant team. Documentation of the IBL process will be reviewed by the consultant team. 3. Monthly in the quality improvement meeting. 4. Administrator.
