OAR 411-054-0025 (4) Reasonable Precautions (4) Reasonable precautions must be exercised against any condition that could threaten the health, safety, or welfare of residents. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure reasonable precautions were taken to protect against any condition that could threaten the health, safety, or welfare of residents for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#5) while performing ADL care, and 1 of 2 sampled residents (#5) and multiple unsampled residents during dining room service. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. On 10/21/25, observations during lunch service identified the following: At 11:24 am, a caregiver provided meal assistance to two unsampled residents. The caregiver sat between the two residents while she provided meal assistance to both residents with her right hand. She was observed holding each of the resident's spoons and/or forks as she alternated assisting each resident simultaneously, as well as wiping the mouth of one resident with a napkin, with no handwashing in between. At 11:31 am the caregiver no longer needed to assist one of the two unsampled residents. At 11:32 am the caregiver stood up, retrieved a straw, removed the wrapper and held the tip of the straw as she placed it in the water cup for the unsampled resident. No handwashing was observed prior to touching the unwrapped straw or resuming meal assistance. At 12:16 pm, the caregiver assisted the resident to drink water from the straw. At 11:34 am, the caregiver briefly stopped providing meal assistance to the resident while she left the table to assist another unsampled resident. The caregiver was observed pushing the resident’s wheelchair and moving his/her plate of food, cups, and silverware to a different table. Afterwards, the caregiver returned to provide meal assistance to the resident. No handwashing was observed prior to moving the resident’s food or resuming meal assistance. At 11:42 am, the caregiver left the table again to briefly provide meal assistance to Resident 5.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents' rights to be treated with dignity and respect, and to be given informed choice and opportunity to select or refuse service for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#1) on hospice. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 01/2022 with diagnoses including dementia and osteoporosis. During the survey, Resident 1 was unable to use the call light and was dependent on staff for ADL care. On 05/07/25 Resident 1 was admitted to a hospice program. OAR 411-054-0005 defines a "Hospice Program" as a coordinated program of inpatient care, available 24 hours a day”, with the intent of providing end of life services at home without having to be transported for care. A note dated 06/08/25 documented Resident 1 fell out of bed, and staff “notified physician via fax, management notified of resident fall, EMS called, and resident taken to hospital for evaluation”. In an interview on 06/09/25 at 12:30 pm, Witness 3 (Hospice RN) stated neither the family or hospice was notified of the fall, and if they had been, a hospice RN would have come on-site to evaluate Resident 1 to prevent unnecessary transportation to the emergency room. Witness 3 stated sending Resident 1 to the emergency room without notifying family or hospice was a mistake. During an interview on 06/10/25, Witness 5 (Family) stated they were the Power of Attorney, were not notified before Resident 1 was taken to the hospital. The hospital Resident 1 was taken to did not have the resident’s medical information or accept their insurance. Witness 5 stated some of the staff were not aware of what hospice meant in relation to Resident 1’s care. On 06/11/25, in an interview at 1:00 pm, Witness 6 (Family) stated they were not notified prior to the facility sending Resident 1 to the hospital. Witness 6 stated they should have had an opportunity to make a choice about care, and that agency staff did not always know Resident 1’s hospice status or care needs. The need to ensure residents received services in a manner that protected dignity and allowed for informed choice to select or refuse service was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) on 06/11/25 at 11:45 am. He acknowledged the findings.
