Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. On 12/16/25 during the lunch service, at approximately 12:00 pm, three residents were seated at the same table. A staff served lunch to two of the residents in dining room and at 12:20 pm, staff served the last resident at the table, by which time the other two residents had nearly finished their lunch. 2. On 12/16/25 and 12/17/25 during lunch service Staff 11 (CG) was observed standing while assisting an unsampled resident who required cueing and one-on-one physical meal assistance. The resident was seated in a manual wheelchair in the dining room, while Staff 11 remained standing while assisting the resident, rather than positioning at eye level or sitting beside the resident. The need to ensure residents were treated with dignity and respecting during the meal service was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) on 12/18/25 at 2:33 pm and 12/19/25 at 2:10 pm with Staff 2 (RN), Staff 3 (Health Service Director) and Staff 4 (RCC). They acknowledged the findings. 3. On 12/17/25 during lunch service Staff 6 (CG) and Staff 8 (CG) were observed by survey team having conversations with each other that did not involve Resident 1 and an unsampled resident whom they were assisting with meal service. Staff 6 stopped providing meal assistance with the unsampled resident to go provide incontinence care for Resident 1 with Staff 8. The unsampled resident, who required assistance, was left with food in front of him/her. Staff 6 returned to assist the unsampled resident for about two minutes, after a brief conversation Staff 8 took over continued to assist till end of meal. The need to ensure residents were treated with dignity and respect regarding meal service was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (RN), Staff 3 (Health Services Director) and Staff 4 (Resident Care Coordinator) on 12/19/25 at 12:15 pm.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by:
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 observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an injury of unknown case and repeated incidents of being found on the floor were promptly investigated to rule out abuse/neglect and were reported to the local SPD office when unable to reasonably conclude the incidents were not abuse and/or neglect for 3 of 4 sampled residents (#s 1, 2 and 5) who experienced repeated falls and/or injury of unknown cause. Findings include but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the memory care facility in 12/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. The resident's 12/11/25 service plan, temporary service plans (TSPs), progress notes and incident reports dated 09/15/25 – 12/15/25 were reviewed. On 10/24/25, staff created a TSP (Temporary Service Plan) identifying “abrasion to right hand ring finger”. On a progress note, dated 11/12/25 staff identified a “bruise to right hand/thumb area”. There was no documented evidence that either injury of unknown cause was immediately investigated to rule out abuse. On 12/19/25 at 10:20 am, Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 3 (Health Services Director) confirmed the above injuries lacked investigation and had not been reported to the local SPD office. The surveyor requested the above injuries be reported to the local SPD office, and confirmation was received at 3:10 pm on 12/19/25. The need to ensure injuries of unknown cause were reported to the local SPD office as suspected abuse unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably ruled out abuse was reviewed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (Nurse), Staff 3 and Staff 4 (Resident Care Coordinator) on12/19/25 at 12:15 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 5 moved into the memory care facility in 07/2024 with diagnoses including dementia. During the survey, the resident was observed to require the assistance of two staff members for transfers and toileting. The resident's 10/12/25 service plan, 09/23/25 – 12/16/25 temporary service plans (TSPs) and 09/11/25 – 12/14/25 incident reports were reviewed. The 10/12/25 service plan and temporary service plans indicated to continue 15-minute or frequent checks, provide reminders for the resident to use call system, routine toileting assistance, and closely monitor the resident when in common areas. The service plan noted the resident was unable to use the call system to request assistance. a. The clinical records showed the following: The 09/23/25 incident report noted the resident was found on the floor near the nurse office, and the resident was unable to state what occurred; and The 10/23/25 and the 12/14/25 incident reports noted the falls were unwitnessed falls, and the resident was unable to state what occurred. The facility’s incident report did not adequately rule out the possibility of abuse, there was insufficient supporting evidence. It remains unclear whether staff followed the 15-minute or frequent checks as outlined in the service plan. b. The clinical records showed the following: The 10/05/25 incident report showed the resident was found on the floor outside the bathroom with visibly soiled pants. The resident was unable to verbalize what happened. The facility’s incident report did not adequately rule out the possibility of abuse, as there was insufficient supporting evidence. Specifically, it remains unclear whether staff provided toileting assistance in accordance with the individual’s service plan. c. The clinical records showed the following: The 11/04/25 incident report noted the resident had bruising on the left arm and left forearm. The bruises were dark blue and purple in color. The facility’s incident report did not adequately rule out the possibility of abuse, there was insufficient supporting evidence. It remains unclear the cause of the bruises. During an interview at 1:28 pm on 12/18/25, Staff 1 (ED) confirmed the above incidents lacked investigations and had not been reported to the local SPD office. The surveyor requested the above incidents be reported to the local SPD office, and confirmations were received at 2:32 pm on 12/18/25. The need to investigate injuries of unknown cause and repeated unwitnessed falls, when the resident was dependent on staff for care, to rule out abuse or neglect of care, and to notify the local SPD if abuse could not be ruled out was discussed with Staff 1 on 12/18/25 at 2:33 pm. She acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 2 moved into the memory care facility in 09/2025 with diagnosis including vascular dementia and urinary incontinence. The resident’s record was reviewed, including the service plan, temporary service plans, and incident reports. Interviews with staff were conducted and the following was identified: The resident’s service plan noted the resident required staff assistance to transfer in and out of bed safely, to ensure the call button was within reach, encourage him/her to use the call system when s/he needed to use the bathroom, remind the resident not to transfer without staff assistance, frequent checks throughout the day and night, ensure floors are free of clutter, and ensure resident is wearing shoes. Resident 2’s clinical record revealed the resident experienced seven unwitnessed falls from 09/30/25 through 11/09/25. The facility investigation lacked documented evidence on how abuse and neglect was reasonably ruled out, what necessary measures were taken to protect resident and prevent the reoccurrence of the repeated falls, and/or lacked documentation the incidents were reported to local SPD on the following occasions: * 09/30/25 – staff documented the resident was found on the floor beside his/her bed with a blanket and had complaints of back pain. The resident stated, “The ladies [that] put [him/her] into bed didn’t check to see if [s/he] was on the bed all the way.” An investigation was completed on 10/01/25, however it did not reasonably rule out abuse and neglect. * 10/06/25 – staff documented the resident was found on his/her bathroom floor. An investigation was completed on 10/08/25, however it did not reasonably rule out abuse and neglect. * 10/09/25 – staff documented the resident had an unwitnessed injury fall to his/her head and buttocks. An investigation was completed on 10/14/25, five days after the incident and therefore lacked an immediate investigation. * 10/16/25 – staff documented the resident was found on the floor beside his/her bed and reported to staff s/he “slid out of bed when attempting to put [his/her] socks on”. The resident’s service plan indicated s/he required assistance with dressing and undressing. An investigation was completed on 10/16/25, however it did not reasonable rule out abuse and neglect. * 10/18/25 – staff documented the resident was found on the floor in his/her room. An investigation was completed on 10/21/25, however it did not reasonably rule out abuse and neglect. * 10/31/25 – staff documented the resident had an unwitnessed injury fall. An investigation was completed on 11/04/25, four days after the incident, and noted it was “unknown” if the injury was from this fall or a prior fall. The facility lacked an immediate investigation to reasonably rule out abuse and neglect and the investigation completed was unable to rule out abuse and neglect. * 11/04/25 – staff documented the resident had an unwitnessed fall in his/her room. An investigation was completed on 11/04/25, however did not reasonably rule out abuse and neglect. * 11/09/25 – staff documented the resident had an unwitnessed injury fall in his/her bathroom. An investigation was completed on 11/10/25, however it did not reasonably rule out abuse and neglect. On 12/19/25 at 10:45 am, the incidents and documentation were reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Nurse), and Staff 3 (Health Services Director). Staff 1 and Staff 3 confirmed the above incidents were not investigated immediately or lacked documented evidence of how abuse and neglect was reasonably ruled out. Staff 1 confirmed the above incidents were not reported to local SPD office. It was requested the above incidents be reported to the local SPD office, and confirmation was received at 3:13 pm. The need to ensure the facility completed an immediate investigation to reasonably rule out abuse and neglect, and report to local SPD if an immediate investigation could not take place or abuse and neglect could not reasonably be ruled out, and take necessary measures to protect the resident and prevent the reoccurrence of the repeat falls was reviewed with Staff 1, Staff 2, Staff 3, and Staff 4 (Resident Care Coordinator) on 12/19/25 at 1:05 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
1. What actions will be taken to correct the rule violation? - ED ensured that reporting was done and we reported the finding by State Surveyors. 2. How will the system be corrected so this violation will not happen again? - Investigate more thorough for instance we will talk to all the care staff that was on shift and see when the last time it was when they were checked on, what interventions were successful and not successful, what they could have done to prevent the indicent. And make sure the Service Plans are being followed 3. How often will the area needing correction be evaluated? - Everytime there are multiple incident reports about the same thing for example repeated falls or when incidents occur. Every incident 4. Who will be responsible to see that the corrections are completed/monitored? - HSD and ED

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 were evaluated, specific resident interventions were determined and documented, communicated to staff on each shift, and/or interventions were monitored for effectiveness, for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 2, 4 and 5) who experienced repeated falls. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 moved into the memory care facility in 09/2025 with diagnosis including vascular dementia and urinary incontinence. The resident’s record was reviewed, interviews with staff were conducted, and observations were made. The following was identified: On 12/15/25 during the acuity interview, Resident 2 was identified to have a history of falls. From 12/16/25 through 12/19/25, the resident was observed to self-propel short distances in his/her wheelchair and required assistance from one direct-care staff for escorts to and from the resident’s room for toileting assistance. The resident’s service plan noted the resident required staff assistance to transfer in and out of bed safely, to ensure the call button was within reach, encourage him/her to use the call system when s/he needed to use the bathroom, remind the resident not to transfer without staff assistance, frequent checks throughout the day and night, ensure floors were free of clutter, and ensure resident was wearing shoes. The resident was unable to use the call system. a. The resident experienced seven unwitnessed falls, between 09/30/25 and 11/09/25, and lacked documented evidence previous interventions were evaluated for effectiveness and resident specific interventions were determined and documented in the resident’s record as a result of the following repeated falls: * 09/30/25, 10/06/25, 10/09/25, 10/16/25, 10/18/25, 10/23/25 and 11/04/25 - Staff documented unwitnessed fall; and * 10/31/25 and 11/09/25 – Staff documented an unwitnessed injury fall. The facility failed to review each incident to identify the circumstances of the falls, determine whether staff followed the current interventions, evaluate the effectiveness of the current interventions, and determine if alternative interventions were needed to prevent further falls. b. Clinical records revealed the following changes of condition: * 10/16/25 – disorientation; * 10/21/25 – required assistance with medication administration; * 10/30/25 – having difficulty holding cups and eating; * 10/31/25 – spilling beverages when attempting to drink; and * 10/31/25 – increased confusion. The above changes of condition lacked documented evidence resident specific interventions were determined and documented and communicated to staff on each shift. On 12/19/25 at 11:35 am, the above was reviewed with Staff 2 (Nurse) and Staff 3 (Health Services Director) and they confirmed there was no documented evidence the facility developed or implemented interventions and communicated the interventions to staff on each shift. The need to ensure the facility evaluated and determined what resident-specific actions or interventions were needed following repeat falls and evaluate the effectiveness of the current interventions to determine if additional interventions were needed and developed and implemented interventions as a result of a short term change of condition and communicated the interventions to staff on each shift was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2, Staff 3, and Staff 4 (Resident Care Coordinator) on 12/19/25 at 1:05 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 5 moved into the memory care facility in 07/2024 with diagnoses including dementia and hypertension. Resident 5 was observed sitting in a manual wheelchair, able to self-propel, and using a hospital bed with a fall mat. The resident's 10/12/25 service plan, 09/23/25 – 12/16/25 temporary service plans (TSPs), 09/15/25 – 12/15/25 progress notes and 09/11/25 – 12/14/25 incident reports were reviewed. The 10/12/25 service plan and TSPs indicated continuation of 15-minute or frequent checks, reminders for the resident to use call system, routine toileting assistance, and close monitoring when the resident was in common area. The resident was unable to use the call system appropriately to request assistance. The clinical record showed the following: * The 09/23/25 fall incident report noted fall interventions to be 15-minute checks and offering assistance. The 09/23/25 TSP showed continued 15-minute checks; * The 10/05/25 incident report showed the resident was found on the floor outside the bathroom with visibly soiled pants. TSP noted frequent checks and reminder for the resident to use the call system; however, the service plan indicated the resident was unable to use the call system; and * The 10/23/25 incident report noted the resident was found outside the medication room. The TSP indicated monitor closely when the resident was in the common area. Review of the resident’s clinical record showed, the resident experienced approximately 10 repeated falls. All documentation, including the report and TSPs, indicated frequent checks. The facility continued to implement frequent checks without evaluating the effectiveness of the current interventions. The need to ensure the facility evaluated and determine what resident-specific actions or interventions were needed following repeated falls including evaluating the effectiveness of current interventions and determining if alternative interventions were needed was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) on 12/18/25 at 2:30 pm. She acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 4 moved into the memory care facility in 10/2025 with diagnoses including dementia and diabetes. The resident's 11/19/25 service plan, temporary service plans (TSPs), progress notes and incident reports, dated 10/16/25 through 12/15/25, were reviewed and interviews with staff were conducted. The following was identified: On 12/05/25 the resident experienced a fall with an injury of laceration to his/her right palm. Resident was transferred to emergency department after the fall related to behaviors. There was no documented evidence the facility developed and implemented interventions as a result of the fall and communicated the interventions to staff. On 12/19/25 at 10:20 am, Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 3 (Health Services Director) confirmed there was no documentation of interventions related to the resident’s fall with injury on 12/05/25. The need to ensure actions or interventions were determined, documented, and communicated to staff on each shift for short-term changes of condition, was reviewed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (Nurse), Staff 3, and Staff 4 (Resident Care Coordinator) on 12/19/25 at 12:15 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
1. What actions will be taken to correct the rule violation? - Interventions in place are reviewed each time there is an incident effectiveness is determined by talking to staff as well as changes in occurances. Non-effective interventions are not carried over and instead replaced with new interventions that may be effective. A TSP is put in place to communicate to staff the change of interventions and monitoring, ABST is updated too reflect additional time this change requires 2. How will the system be corrected so this violation will not happen again? - A (locked) Reporting/Comment Box was placed outside RCC/RN office where staff have 34/7 access to place information regarding any changes/ out of baseline condition/ behaior/ ability for any resident. The box is checked dail and information reviewed with RN & PCP, resident is placed on alert charting, TSP in place and RN completes COC eval for long term changes of condition 3. How often will the area needing correction be evaluated? - Daily Who on your staff will be responsible to see that the corrections are completed/monitored? - RCC, ED, HSD, RN and HR

Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. During the survey, the following were observed: a. On 12/17/25 at 12:12 pm, during lunch service, Staff 22 (Kitchen Aide) provided Resident 2 a peanut butter and jelly sandwich observed to be cut in half. The resident was observed to use a fork on the table to try and cut the sandwich and was unsuccessful. An unsampled resident sitting next to Resident 2 grabbed Resident 2’s fork and plate and was observed to touch the sandwich while cutting a piece in half. Resident 2 attempted to pick up the fork, and it fell to the floor. The unsampled resident picked the fork up off the floor and placed it on Resident 2’s plate. Resident 2 picked up the fork and proceeded to lick both sides of the fork and placed it back on his/her plate. b. On 12/17/25 at 12:18 pm, Staff 22 was observed to give Resident 2 a blue cup with a lid and straw with another resident name written on the reuseable cup. Resident 2 was observed to drink out of the straw and to put his/her open mouth on the side of the cup and lid throughout lunch service. The facility did not maintain infection prevention and control protocols during dining service which resulted in Resident 2 licking an unsanitary fork and using another resident’s reuseable cup. The need to ensure infection prevention and control protocols were maintained during meal service was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Nurse), Staff 3 (Health Services Director), and Staff 4 (Resident Care Coordinator) on 12/19/25 at 1:05 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. During the survey from 12/16/25 through 12/18/25, observations during dining services showed Staff 6 (CG), Staff 10 (CG), Staff 11 (CG) and Staff 16 (CG) served breakfast and lunch and provided meal assistance to multiple unsampled residents and Resident 5 in the dining room without wearing any barrier protection or an apron.

(g) Provide the relevant ABST information for a specific resident if requested by the Department, that specific resident, that specific resident’s legal representative, or the Long-Term Care Ombudsman. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the Acuity Based Staffing Tool (ABST) accurately captured care time staff were providing to each resident as outlined in each individual service plan for 3 of 5 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, and 3) whose ABST was reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 moved into the memory care facility on 12/02/25 with diagnosis including dementia, dysphasia, and peripheral vascular disease. During the acuity interview on 12/15/25, the resident was reported to require two staff for transfers with the use of a Hoyer lift and to complete incontinent care. The resident’s record, including service plan, dated 12/02/25, temporary service plans, and individual ABST time were reviewed, interviews with staff were conducted, and observations of the resident were made. The resident’s care time was found not reflective in the following areas: * Supervising, cueing, supporting while eating; * Ambulation, escorting to and from meals or activities; * Transferring in or out of bed or a chair; and * Bowel and bladder management. The total care time noted on the resident’s ABST for transferring and bowel and bladder management accounted for one direct-care staff however, through observation and interview the resident required the assistance of two direct-care staff. Additionally, both care areas were noted to occur twice daily, however the service plan indicated each occurred at least five times a day. When the time and frequency for transferring and bowel and bladder management are accurately captured, it revealed a total discrepancy of approximately 12 to 17.5 hours per week. On 12/18/25 at 11:52 am, Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 4 (Resident Care Coordinator) confirmed the total time indicated in Resident 3’s individual ABST for transferring and bowel and bladder management accounted for one direct-care staff instead of two, and did not accurately capture the frequency of each task. The need to ensure each resident’s individual ABST accurately captured care time staff provided as outlined in each individual service plan, was reviewed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (Nurse), Staff 3 (Health Services Director), and Staff 4 on 12/19/25 at 1:33 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 2 moved into the memory care facility in 09/2025 with diagnosis including vascular dementia, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, and urinary incontinence. The resident’s record, including service plan, dated 10/28/25, temporary service plans, and individual ABST time were reviewed, interviews with staff were conducted, and observations of the resident were made. The resident’s care time was found not reflective in the following areas: * Supervising, cueing, and supporting while eating; * Dressing and undressing; and * Safety checks and fall prevention. The resident’s individual ABST noted the resident required 0-minutes for supervising, cueing, and supporting while eating, however the resident’s interim service plans indicated the resident required cueing, redirect and re-orient back to plate, assist as needed if unable to eat on own, provide encouragement, reminders, meal replacements, and nutritional shakes between meals. On 12/18/25 at 11:52 am, Staff 4 (Resident Care Coordinator) confirmed the above noted areas were not reflective of the resident’s current care time. The need to ensure each resident’s individual ABST accurately captured care time staff provided as outlined in each individual service plan, was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Nurse), Staff 3 (Health Services Director), and Staff 4 on 12/19/25 at 1:05 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 1 moved into the memory care community in 12/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. The resident’s record, including service plan, dated 12/11/25 and individual ABST time were reviewed. Interviews with staff were conducted, and observations were made. Resident 1 was non-verbal and communicated by blinking eyes. The resident’s care time was found not reflective in the following areas: * Assisting with communication; * Monitoring behavioral conditions or symptoms; * Ensuring non-drug interventions for behaviors; * Cueing or redirecting due to cognitive impairment or dementia; * Supervising, cueing, and supporting while eating; and * Escorting to and from meals. The resident’s individual ABST noted the resident required 0-minutes on all above areas except for supervising, cueing, and supporting while eating which stated 6 minutes. Observation of resident during meal service on 12/17/25 and 12/18/25, resident required 30 minutes and 25 minutes respectively. When resident was out of bed before meal was served, during mealtime and after meal, resident required 1:1 staff observation and redirection related to behaviors ensuring safety for resident and other residents due to frequent rolling of wheelchair backwards and attempting to grab other residents passing near him/her. On 12/18/25 at 2:55 pm, Staff 4 (Resident Care Coordinator) confirmed the above noted areas were not reflective of the resident’s current care time. The need to ensure each resident’s individual ABST accurately captured care time staff provided as outlined in each individual service plan, was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Nurse), Staff 3 (Health Services Director), and Staff 4 on 12/19/25 at 12:15 pm.
