OAR 411-054-0070 (1) Staffing Requirements and Training: Staffing (Amended 6/9/21)(1) STAFFING REQUIREMENTS. Facilities must have qualified awake direct care staff, sufficient in number to meet the 24-hour scheduled and unscheduled needs of each resident. Direct care staff provide services for residents that include assistance with activities of daily living, medication administration, resident-focused activities, supervision, and support.(a) If a facility employs universal workers whose duties include other tasks (e.g., housekeeping, laundry, food service), in addition to direct resident care, staffing must be increased to maintain adequate resident care and services.(b) Prior to providing care and services to residents, direct care staff must be trained as required in sections (2) - (4) of this rule.(c) The following facility employees are ancillary to the caregiver requirements in this section:(A) Individuals whose duties are exclusively housekeeping, building maintenance, clerical, administrative, or food preparation.(B) Licensed nurses who provide services as specified in OAR 411-054-0045 (Resident Health Services).(C) Administrators.(d) The Department retains the right to require minimum staffing standards based on acuity, complaint investigation or survey inspection.(e) Based on resident acuity and facility structural design there must be adequate direct care staff present at all times, to meet the fire safety evacuation standards as required by the fire authority or the Department.(f) The licensee is responsible for assuring that staffing is increased to compensate for the evaluated care and service needs of residents at move-in and for the changing physical or mental needs of the residents.(g) A minimum of two direct care staff must be scheduled and available at all times whenever a resident requires the assistance of two direct care staff for scheduled and unscheduled needs.(h) In facilities where residents are hosed in two or more detached buildings, or if a building has distinct and segregated areas, a designated caregiver must be awake and available in each building and each segregated area at all times.(i) Facilities must have a written, defined system to determine appropriate numbers of direct care staff and general staffing based on resident acuity and service needs. Such systems may be either manual or electronic.(A) Guidelines for systems must also consider physical elements of a building, use of technology if applicable and staff experience.(B) Facilities must be able to demonstrate how their staffing systems work. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to have a sufficient number of direct care staff to meet the 24-hour scheduled and unscheduled needs of each resident and to meet the fire safety evacuation standards during the night shift. Findings include, but are not limited to: The acuity interview, conducted on 02/02/26 at 1:00 pm with Staff 9 (CG) and Staff (14 MT), and review of resident information provided from Staff 1 (Administrator) identified: * The memory care community was home to 41 residents; * 19 residents required staff support and intervention for behavioral symptoms; * 19 residents required support due to cognitive impairment; * 13 residents required assistance in the dining room (observations, cueing, hand-over-hand, or physical assistance with eating); and * One resident required a two-person assist with transfers. Staffing schedules showed two direct care staff were assigned to the overnight (NOC) shift from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am. Review of staffing assignments identified all direct care staff were scheduled as universal workers whose duties included tasks such as housekeeping, laundry, and food service, in addition to providing direct resident care. Staffing was not increased to maintain adequate resident care and services while staff performed universal worker tasks. Interviews and observations conducted throughout the survey revealed the following: Interviews on 02/04/26 at 12:30 pm and 02/05/26 at 11:35 am with Staff 1 (Administrator) indicated there were two staff assigned to work on the night shift. The administrator acknowledged the current population of the facility was made up of several ambulatory residents. There were several residents that would be an elopement risk if they exited the secured area of the facility. When questioned, Staff 1 stated two staff on night shift might have difficulty getting all the residents out of the facility and keeping them safely contained at the designated meeting point in the event an evacuation of the building was required. She acknowledged the facility had very active residents and two staff on night shift would be insufficient to evacuate all residents. In an interview conducted on 02/05/26 at 1:30 pm, Staff 4 (MT/Infection Control Specialist) stated she conducted fire drills every other month on alternating shifts. She reported night shift staff did not move residents during drills. Staff 4 indicated two staff were assigned to the night shift and that night staff normally received verbal training and practiced moving a substitute item around the unit in place of residents. The last drill staff used cushions in place of the sleeping residents and moved the cushions away from the fire location. When asked whether two staff would be able to evacuate all 41 residents and keep them together in front of the building, Staff 4 stated she was unsure if two staff would be sufficient. Multiple daily observations completed between 02/02/26 and 02/05/26, of sampled and non-sampled residents, identified a minimum of 10 residents who were ambulatory without assistive devices, independently moving throughout all areas of the facility and requiring ongoing monitoring and direction from staff. Additional residents utilizing walkers and/or wheelchairs were also observed independently ambulating within the facility, increasing the need for sufficient staff to ensure supervision and safe evacuation in an emergency. Considering resident acuity, including the number of residents requiring behavioral supervision, cognitive support, and two-person assistance, the facility’s overnight staffing of two universal care workers did not provide adequate direct care staff to meet fire safety evacuation standards required by the Department. The need to ensure the facility increased staffing when universal workers performed additional duties and to ensure adequate direct care staff were present at all times to meet evacuation needs was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (RN) on 02/04/26 at 1:30pm and on 02/05/26 at 2:45 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
The facility has permanently revised staffing plan to require a minimum of three scheduled staff members on every night shift regardless of census fluctuation unless reassessed by the RN and Administrator. The administrator will review the weekly schedule prior to posting to verify compliance with minimum staffing requirements.

(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 interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the acuity-based staffing tool (ABST) accurately captured the care time and care elements that staff were providing to each resident as outlined in each individual service plan for 3 of 6 sampled residents (#1, 2, and 6) whose ABST data was reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Review of the ABST data identified care time was not accurately captured for Residents 1, 2, and 6 in one or more of the following areas: * Providing non-drug interventions for behaviors; * Monitoring physical conditions or symptoms; * Assisting with leisure activities; * Cueing or redirecting due to cognitive impairment or dementia; * Providing non-drug interventions for pain management; * Supervising, cueing, or supporting while eating; and * Assisting with ambulation, escorting to and from meals or activities. Interviews with staff, conducted 02/02/26 through 02/05/26, indicated Resident 6 required continuous redirection, reassurance, and consoling, with staff providing redirection approximately every 30 to 60 minutes. In an interview on 02/05/26 at 1:50 pm, Staff 1 (Administrator) acknowledged the inaccuracies in care times. The need for the ABST to accurately capture care time and care elements that staff were providing to residents was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 2 (RN) on 02/05/26 at 2:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
Upon identification of deficiency, the Administrator and RN immediately conducted a full reassessment of all current residents’ ABST evaluations to ensure accurate capture of: -Providing non-drug interventions for behaviors -Monitoring physical conditions and symptoms -Assisting with leisure activities -Cueing or redirecting due to cognitive impairment -Providing non-drug interventions for pain management -Supervising, cueing, or supporting while eating -Assisting with ambulation, escorting to and from meals or activities -Weekly ABST audits will be completed by the RN and administrator

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to provide each individual privacy in his or her own unit for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#4) and multiple unsampled residents. Findings include, but are not limited to: a. The facility had multiple double occupancy rooms with a shared bathroom. On 02/03/26, a shared bathroom in a resident room was observed to have a pocket door and was not equipped with a way to lock the door from the inside. At 12:56 pm, Staff 1 (Administrator) reported all shared bathrooms in resident rooms had a pocket door that could not be locked. b. Resident 4 resided in a shared room with an unsampled resident who was observed to ambulate independently. Resident 4’s bed and living space were at the entry of the shared room. On 02/04/26, Resident 4 was observed to receive assistance with incontinence care while in bed. There were no observations of a privacy screen or use of something to provide the resident privacy if someone were to enter the room. On 02/05/26 at 3:21 pm, the resident’s room was toured with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (RN). They acknowledged Resident 4’s lack of privacy while receiving ADL care.
