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 interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure incidents or injuries of unknown cause were immediately investigated to rule out abuse or suspected abuse, and report to the local Seniors and People with Disabilities (SPD) office when abuse could not be ruled out for 1 of 3 sampled residents (# 3) whose records were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 moved into the facility in 05/2020 with diagnoses including dementia with behavioral disturbance. The resident’s record was reviewed, including the current service plan, dated 03/12/25, Progress Notes, dated 03/12/25 through 06/17/25, outside provider visit documentation, dated 05/25/25 through 06/23/25, 24-hour reports, dated 04/28/25 through 06/22/25, and Incident Reports dated 04/15/25 through 05/18/25. Interviews with staff were conducted, and the following was identified: a. On 05/16/25, a “large bruise” was identified on Resident 3’s “right side of thigh.” An incident report dated 05/18/25 was initiated; however, the report lacked documented evidence abuse and neglect was ruled out. b. On 06/16/25, an outside provider documented the resident had “toe sores on both feet.” Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 5 (Registered Nurse) reported they were unaware how the resident acquired the toe sores. There was no documented evidence the facility investigated the injury of unknown cause or reported the injury to local SPD. c. On 06/25/25 at 12:30 pm, Staff 5 evaluated Resident 3’s feet and lower legs. At that time, she identified multiple small scabs on the resident’s right shin and one scab, approximately one inch in length, on the resident’s outer left leg beside the knee. Staff 1 and Staff 5 reported they were unaware how the resident acquired the injuries. There was no documented evidence the above injuries of unknown cause were immediately investigated to rule out abuse or suspected abuse or were reported to the local SPD if abuse could not be ruled out. On 06/25/25 at 3:28 pm, the above injuries of unknown cause were reviewed with Staff 1. She confirmed the incidents were not reported to the local SPD. Survey requested the facility report the injuries of unknown cause to the local SPD. Confirmation of the report was provided at 4:08 pm. The need to ensure incidents or injuries of unknown cause were immediately investigated to rule out abuse or suspected abuse and reported to the local SPD office when abuse or neglect could not be ruled out, was reviewed with Staff 1 and Staff 6 (Regional Director) on 06/26/25 at 11:44 am. They acknowledged the findings.

(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.

This constituted a severe weight loss and a change of condition. There was no documented evidence resident-specific interventions were developed and communicated to staff on each shift, with weekly progress noted until resolution. b. Documentation revealed the resident experienced the following additional changes of condition, and there was no documented evidence resident-specific interventions were developed, communicated to staff on each shift, and changes were monitored through resolution: * 04/27/25: unwitnessed fall; * 04/28/25: “pressure sore found on [resident’s] left butt cheek”; * 04/29/25: unwitnessed fall; * 05/16/25: “Large bruise on right side of thigh”; and * 06/16/25: “Open areas noted on the toes on right foot and great toe on left foot.” The need to ensure when a resident experienced a change of condition that resident-specific interventions were developed and documented, the determined interventions were communicated to staff on each shift, and changes of condition were monitored weekly through resolution was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 6 (Regional Director) on 06/26/25 at 11:44 am.

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 an RN assessment was completed and/or completed in a timely manner for 2 of 3 sampled resident (#s 2 and 3) who experienced a significant change of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 05/2020 with diagnoses including kidney disease stage 4 (severe) and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Returned with no instructions.” The indwelling catheter placement constituted a significant change in condition requiring an RN assessment. There was no documented evidence the facility RN conducted an assessment which included documentation of findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. The need to ensure the facility RN assessed all significant changes of condition in a timely manner and documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 6 (Regional Director) on 06/26/25 at 11:00 am.
