OAR 411-054-0034 (1-6) Resident Move-in & Evaluation: Res Evaluation (1) INITIAL SCREENING AND MOVE-IN. (a) The facility must determine whether a potential resident meets the facility's admission requirements. (b) Before the resident moving in, the facility must conduct an initial screening to determine the prospective resident's service needs and preferences. The screening must determine the ability of the facility to meet the potential resident's needs and preferences, while considering the needs of the other residents and the facility's overall service capability. (c) Each resident record must, before move-in and when updated, include the following information: (A) Legal name for billing purposes. (B) To promote person-centered care, any variance from legal records, as indicated by the resident, regarding: (i) Name. (ii) Pronouns. (iii) Gender identity.

(G) Primary language; (H) Community connections; and (I) Health and social service providers. (2) RESIDENT EVALUATION - GENERAL. The resident evaluation identifies the resident's preferences, strengths, and relationships, as well as activities that are meaningful to the individual. The evaluation describes the resident's physical health status, mental status, and the environmental factors that help the individual function at their optimal level. The evaluation is the foundation that a facility uses to develop the resident's service plan. The evaluation information may be collected using tools and protocols established by the facility, but must contain the elements stated in this rule. (a) Resident evaluations must be: (A) Performed before the resident moves into the facility, with updates and changes as appropriate within the first 30 days; and (B) Performed at least quarterly, to correspond with the quarterly service plan updates.

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 short term changes of condition had actions or interventions communicated to staff on each shift, and the condition was monitored with weekly progress noted until resolution for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) who experienced short term changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into facility in 03/2021 with diagnoses including Type 2 diabetes, traumatic brain injury, and dementia. Observation of Resident 1, interviews with staff and review of the resident's 04/26/25 service plan, progress notes dated 02/20/25 through 05/20/25, and incident investigations were reviewed. Fall prevention interventions listed on the service plan included care staff to remind Resident 1 to use a 4-wheeled walker while ambulating throughout the facility, encourage use of the 4-wheeled walker and to pull a call light as needed for assistance, and anti-slip tape was placed near the resident’s bed. Additionally, staff were to remind Resident 1 to make sure a chair was behind him/her before they sat down, assist with donning shoes, and to encourage Resident 1 to practice what was learned from home health PT and OT. On 05/21/25, Resident 1 was observed to utilize a wheelchair for means of mobility and could self-propel it using his/her feet. During an interview on 05/21/25 at 1:10 pm, Staff 5 (MA/Universal Worker) stated Resident 1 had been using a wheelchair for their primary means of mobility for approximately the last month. a. Resident 1 had the following short-term changes of condition that lacked documentation of what action or intervention was needed, the determined action or intervention communicated to staff on each shift, and the condition monitored with weekly progress noted until the condition resolved: * 03/02/25 – Unwitnessed fall in the common area; * 03/05/25 – Two unwitnessed falls in bedroom; * 03/06/25 – Unwitnessed fall in bedroom; * 03/12/25 – Found on floor in bedroom; * 03/24/25 – Unwitnessed fall in the dining room with right knee abrasion; * 04/04/25 – Unwitnessed fall; * 04/09/25 – Started an antibiotic; * 04/09/25 – Right great toenail removal; * 04/13/25 – Two unwitnessed falls in bedroom; * 04/14/25 – Return from hospital after unwitnessed fall; * 04/29/25 – Started two new medications; and * 05/08/25 – Unwitnessed fall in bedroom. b. Resident 1 had the following short-term changes of condition that lacked documentation of what action or intervention was needed, and the determined action or intervention was communicated to staff on each shift: * 03/17/25 – Unwitnessed fall in bedroom; and * 03/24/25 – Slid out of chair in dining room. The need to ensure short term changes of condition had actions or interventions communicated to staff on each shift, and the condition was monitored with weekly progress noted until resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Director of Operations) on 05/21/25. The findings were acknowledged. 2. Resident 2 was admitted in 04/2022 with diagnoses which included neurogenic bladder, urethral injury and had a history of urinary tract infections. Observations of Resident 2, interviews with staff and the resident were conducted, and the 02/12/25 service plan and progress notes dated 02/03/25 through 05/18/25, were reviewed. Resident 2's progress notes indicated s/he was started on antibiotics on 04/09/25 for a urinary tract infection. The facility initiated short-term change monitoring. However, no monitoring until resolution was documented. Failure to monitor short term changes of condition with weekly progress noted until resolution was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Director of Operations) during interviews on 05/21/25. They acknowledged the findings. No further information was provided.

Plan of Correction

This deficiency will be corrected by performing a full audit of resident records over the past 60 days; it will be conducted to identify any additional residents with a short-term change of condition lacking proper documentation or follow-up. A Change of Condition Tracking Tool will be introduced to monitor compliance. Monthly audits will be conducted by the Administrator for the next 6 months to ensure ongoing compliance. If trends are identified, corrective actions will be implemented immediately.

OAR 411-054-0037 (4-6) Acuity Based Staffing Tool - Updates & Staffing Plan (4) FREQUENCY OF UPDATES. Facilities must complete or update and review the ABST evaluation for each resident according to the following schedule. (a) Before a resident moves in. (b) Whenever there is a significant change of condition as defined in OAR 411-054-0040(1)(b). (c) No less than quarterly at the same time the resident’s service plan is updated as required by OAR 411-054-0034. (5) DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN UPDATED POSTED STAFFING PLAN. Each facility should use the results of an ABST to develop and routinely update the facility’s posted staffing plan. The staffing plan must outline the staffing numbers required to meet the scheduled and unscheduled needs of all residents in the facility, for each shift. The ABST and staffing plan must be reviewed at the frequency required in paragraph (4) of this rule. The facility must review the following and ensure accuracy between the posted staffing plan and ABST: (a) The total ABST care time required for the individual care elements as referenced in paragraph (3) of this rule. (b) Staffing plan must account for unscheduled care needs. (c) Documentation of consistently staffing to meet or exceed the posted staffing plan 24 hours a day, seven days a week. (d) The staffing requirements outlined in OAR 411-054-0070(1). (e) Any other applicable factors to be considered. (e.g., disruptions to normal facility operations.) (f) Time for paid or unpaid staff meal breaks must be accounted for and should not be included in the total scheduled staff time per shift. (g) Distinct posted staffing plans for segregated areas as outlined in OAR 411-054-0070(1) to meet the scheduled and unscheduled needs of residents who reside in each segregated area. (h) The staffing needs required under the Specific Needs Contracts, if applicable. (6) ABST REPORTING OF SPECIFIC NEEDS CONTRACTS AND EXCEPTIONAL PAYMENTS. Staffing required by a Specific Needs Contract (Contract), as described in OAR chapter 411, division 027, must be included in a facility’s ABST. (a) If all residents within the facility are receiving service through a Contract: (A) The facility’s staffing plan must include the number of staff required by the Contract and additional staff time, if required to meet the scheduled and unscheduled needs of the residents. (B) If the ABST staffing analysis indicates numbers higher than the Contract, the facility must staff to the numbers indicated by the ABST. (b) If certain residents within the facility are served under Contract, and other residents are not served by a Contract: (A) The facility must maintain a posted staffing plan that includes the staffing required for residents served by the Contract as well as the staffing required for residents not served by the Contract. (B) The facility must prepare two distinct ABST reports: one for residents served by the Contract and the other for residents not served by the Contract. (C) If the ABST indicates higher staffing numbers than the Contract for residents who are served by the Contract, the facility must staff to numbers indicated by the ABST. (c) If the facility has any residents funded by an exceptional payment, as provided in OAR 411-027-0050, that must be included in the ABST and the facility must staff to the greater of the exception or the ABST. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure they were staffing to meet the requirements under the Specific Needs Contract and to ensure their acuity-based staffing tool (ABST) evaluations were completed prior to residents moving into the facility, including 1 of 1 sampled resident (#3) and one unsampled resident. Findings include, but are not limited to: ABST data was reviewed during the survey, from 05/20/25 through 05/21/25. The following was identified: a. Upon entrance of the facility, a copy of the staffing plan was requested. The facility provided a copy of the staffing plan on 05/20/25 at 2:49 pm, which included the following information: * Day shift: three universal workers; * Evening shift: three universal workers; and * Night shift: two universal workers. The Specific Needs Contract stated, “Contractor shall provide a minimum ratio of 1 direct care staff for every 6 residents, with a total of three (3) direct care staff at full capacity on day and evening shifts. On night shift, Contractor shall provide a minimum ratio of 1 staff for every 8 residents, with a total of two (2) direct care staff at full capacity.” The facility had 16 residents serviced by the contract, which would equate to the three direct care staff for day/evening and two for night shift. In an interview with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Director of Operations) on 05/21/25 at 11:25 am, it was stated the facility was using the Specific Needs Contract to determine appropriate staffing levels, as it was significantly higher than the ABST. The previous weeks’ staffing schedule for the universal workers was reviewed with Staff 1 and Staff 2 on 05/21/25 at 11:28 am and revealed four out of 21 shifts, or 19% of the shifts, were not staffed to meet the requirements of the Specific Needs Contract. Staff 1 and Staff 2 acknowledged the facility failed to staff to the Specific Needs Contract the week of 05/11/25 to 05/17/25. b. Upon survey entry on 05/20/25, two universal workers were observed in the facility. During an interview with the staff on 05/20/25, it was confirmed there were the only two present universal workers for the day shift at time of survey entry. c. Upon review of the ABST data, Resident 3 moved into the facility on 04/10/25 and an unsampled resident had moved into the facility on 04/17/25, respectively. However, their ABST evaluations were not completed until 05/20/25, during the survey event. During an interview with Staff 1 on 05/21/25 at 11:30 am, she acknowledged that the ABST evaluations were not completed prior to the residents moving in, as required. The need to ensure the facility was staffing to meet the requirements under the Specific Needs contract and to ensure the ABST evaluation was completed before a resident moved in was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 2 on 05/21/25 at 11:30 am. The findings were acknowledged.

Plan of Correction

To correct this deficiency, the facility has incorporated the Acuity-Based Staffing Tool (ABST) into our pre-admission checklist, ensuring all evaluations are completed prior to move-in. This addition will prevent any new residents from being overlooked in staffing assessments. Furthermore, we have hired an on-call universal worker to reinforce staffing coverage and meet the requirements outlined in the Specific Needs Contract. To maintain compliance, staffing levels and ABST implementation will be monitored daily to identify and address any deficiencies or necessary adjustments.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure all exterior pathways were maintained in good repair. Findings include, but are not limited to: On 05/20/25 and 05/21/25 the exterior of the facility was toured. The following was identified: The concrete pathways had several areas of drop-offs of three inches or greater measured from the concrete surface to the planting bed along the front of the building. At the end of the sidewalk to the left side of the building, the sidewalk ended and had a seven-and-a-half-inch drop-off from the concrete surface to the planting bed. On 05/21/25 at 9:30 am, the areas were toured with Staff 4 (Maintenance). He confirmed he was aware of the drop offs. The need to ensure all exterior pathways were maintained in good repair was discussed and toured with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Director of Operations). The findings were acknowledged.

Plan of Correction

To correct this deficiency, the facility has implemented structural modifications to address drop-off hazards. A mini fence has been installed at drop-offs exceeding 7 inches, while smaller drop-offs (1–2 inches) have been properly filled to eliminate potential risks. Additionally, a daily walkthrough has been incorporated into the administrator’s morning routine to ensure ongoing monitoring and maintenance. This process will be conducted systematically to identify and promptly address any new concerns. The facility administrator will oversee this correction to completion, ensuring continued compliance with OAR 411-054-0300 and maintaining a safe environment for residents and staff.
