(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.

(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 interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the ABST evaluation was updated with significant changes of condition and/or quarterly at the same time the resident’s service plan was updated for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) whose ABSTs were reviewed; and that time for staff meal breaks was not included in the total scheduled staff time per shift. Findings include, but are not limited to: The facility’s ABST data and posted staffing plan were reviewed on 08/20/25 at 11 am. The following was identified: 1. Review of sampled resident’s ABST data revealed no documented evidence the ABST had been updated after a significant change of condition for Resident 1, or with the quarterly service plan for Resident 2. 2. Review of the ABST staff equation showed meal breaks were not accounted for, and therefore the calculated staff time was not accurate. The need to ensure the ABST evaluation for each resident was updated with significant changes of condition and/or quarterly at the same time the resident’s service plan was updated, and that time for unpaid staff meal breaks was not included in the total scheduled staff time per shift was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) on 8/21/25 at 11:30 am. She acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction
