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 exercise reasonable precautions against any condition that may threaten the health, safety, or welfare of residents. Findings include, but are not limited to: The facility was a memory care community which was home to 21 residents who were all diagnosed with some type of dementia and who experienced various degrees of cognitive decline and confusion. During a tour of the facility on 03/10/26 at 12:25 pm, multiple closets and storage rooms were found to be unlocked, and they contained potentially dangerous materials or objects as follows: * A closet where art supplies were stored (near room 2) contained a container of scissors; * A utility closet across from the beauty shop contained two bottles of liquid laundry detergent and boxes of powdered laundry detergent; and * A bank of wooden built-in cabinets near the med room contained a pair of surgical scissors and a variety of chemical medical supplies (mouthwash, antiseptics, etc.). The unsecured materials and scissors represented conditions that could threaten the health, safety, or welfare of residents. The need to exercise reasonable precautions by securing potentially dangerous items was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) on 03/10/26 at 1:40 pm. She acknowledged the unsecured areas.
Upon identification of the concern, all chemicals, sharp objects, and hazardous items were immediately removed from unsecured areas and placed in locked cabinets in designated staff areas, and all resident-accessible areas were inspected to ensure no harmful items were accessible. The facility has implemented a policy requiring that all chemicals and sharp objects be always secured in locked cabinets or areas inaccessible to residents, and staff are responsible for identifying and properly securing any potentially hazardous items immediately after use. All staff, including caregivers and med passers, will be educated on this policy and safety expectations by 05/10/26, and this training will be included in new employee orientation. The Administrator/Resident Care Manager (RCM) is responsible for ensuring ongoing compliance, and this plan will be fully implemented by 05/10/26.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to exercise reasonable precautions against any condition that may threaten the health, safety, or welfare of residents. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to: The facility was a memory care community which was home to 19 residents who were all diagnosed with some type of dementia and who experienced various degrees of cognitive decline and confusion. During a tour of the facility on 06/16/26 at 11:14 am, multiple doors, cabinets, and storage rooms were found to be unlocked. They contained potentially dangerous materials or objects as follows: * A drawer of the curio cabinet in the dining room contained a pair of scissors. * The resident accessible courtyard included a box of plant fertilizer and a spray bottle of insecticide. * The cabinet near room nine had a can of disinfectant spray and two small bottles of essential oils. * The door labeled “Laundry Room” led to a hallway which included an unsecured industrial cleaning supplies storage room, the industrial laundry room, and an elevator. * The unsecured beauty shop contained a hot glue gun with a glue stick located on the countertop. Cabinets within the shop included a spray bottle of fabric refresher, multiple household cleaners, an unlabeled clear fluid in a spray bottle, a spray disinfectant, and nail clippers; and * A bank of wooden built-in cabinets in the television room contained a spray bottle of fabric refresher. The unsecured materials, areas, and scissors represented conditions that could threaten the health, safety, or welfare of residents. The need to exercise reasonable precautions by securing potentially dangerous items and areas was discussed with Staff 3 (RCM/Designee) on 06/16/26 at 11:55 am, and again with Staff 3 and Staff 2 (RN) on 06/17/26 at 3:56 pm. They acknowledged the findings. The areas remained secured through all observations on 06/17/26.
Upon identification of the concern, the facility revised its Sharps and Hazardous Materials Safety Policy to require that all chemicals and sharp objects be secured in locked cabinets or other areas inaccessible to residents immediately after use. Staff are responsible for identifying and properly securing any potentially hazardous items. A daily environmental safety walkthrough checklist will be completed by caregivers to monitor compliance. All staff, including caregivers and medication aides, will receive education on the revised policy and safe storage of hazardous materials. This education will also be incorporated into new employee orientation. The Administrator and Resident Care Manager (RCM) are responsible for monitoring ongoing compliance through daily environmental safety checks.

Implemented: ORS 441.111, 441.114, 443.400-443.455, 443.991 This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the initial resident evaluation contained all required elements, was dated, and indicated who was involved in the evaluation process, for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#1) whose move-in evaluation was reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 10/2025 with diagnoses including dementia. The facility provided three documents that it used to gather information about a new resident: a seven-page evaluation titled “Rock of Ages Memory Care Facility,” the “OR/WA: Initial and Annual Licensed Nursing Assessment,” and the facility “Personal Interest Questionnaire.” The following was identified: a. None of the documents indicated who was involved in the evaluation process, and only the nursing assessment included a date. b. The evaluations failed to address the following elements: * Name, pronouns, and gender identity; * Customary routines regarding eating and bathing; * Traditions; * Visits to health practitioners, emergency room, hospital, or nursing facility in the past year; * How the person copes with change or challenging situations; * Ability to manage medications; * Housework and laundry; * Transportation; * Emergency evacuation ability; * Complex medication regimen; * History of dehydration; * Recent losses; * Unsuccessful prior placements; and * Elopement risk or history. The need to ensure the initial evaluation contained information addressing all required elements was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (RN) on 03/11/26 at 11:00 am.

Review of Resident 3's service plan, dated 01/06/26, and temporary care plans, observations of the resident, and interviews with staff revealed the service plan was not reflective or lacked clear direction to staff in the following areas: * Use of side rails on the resident’s bed; * Hospice services received; and * History of suicidal ideations and behaviors Observations during the survey confirmed Resident 3 had 1/2 rails on both sides of the bed. Hospice visit notes were reviewed in the resident’s clinical record, confirming Resident 3 was receiving hospice services. An RN assessment, dated 01/29/26, included the statement, “[Resident 3] requires close supervision and ongoing monitoring to help prevent and respond to suicidal thoughts, verbalizations, and behaviors.” These concerns were verified by Staff 2 (RN) in an interview on 03/11/26 at 1:05 pm. On 03/12/26 at 12:45 pm, the need to ensure service plans were reflective of current resident care needs and provided clear direction to staff was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 3 (Resident Care Manager). They acknowledged the findings.
In response to the cited deficiency, the facility conducted a review of current resident service plans to ensure they accurately reflect individual needs, including hydration and eating preferences with intake amounts, past and current activity interests, and behaviors including identified stressors and appropriate coping interventions, and updates were made as needed. The move-in evaluation packet and service plan process have been revised to include these required elements and to ensure that all identified needs are consistently reflected in the service plan. The Administrator, and Resident Care Manager (RCM) are responsible for oversight and ongoing compliance, and this plan will be fully implemented by 05/10/26.

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 interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to determine, document, and communicate to staff what actions or interventions were needed for the resident following a change of condition, ensure weekly progress was noted until the condition was resolved, and monitor each resident consistent with his or her evaluated needs and service plan, for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#3) who experienced multiple falls. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the MCC in 08/2021, with diagnoses including dementia, hypertension, and osteoporosis. Review of Resident 3’s clinical record revealed the following: a. The resident experienced four documented falls between 12/10/25 and 03/10/26. Following each fall, the facility failed to determine and document what actions or interventions were needed for the resident, communicate the interventions to staff, and note weekly progress until the condition was resolved. b. The service plan listed the following interventions for fall prevention: * Encourage [him/her] to use walker; * Keep light on in the bathroom at night; * Make sure [he/she] is wearing sandals or older gray shoes; and * Use alarm in bed and in wheelchair. There was no documented evidence the facility monitored the fall interventions following each fall to determine if the interventions were effective or if new interventions needed to be developed. On 03/11/26 at 1:05 pm, Staff 2 (RN) was interviewed regarding Resident 3’s falls. Staff 2 acknowledged the facility did not identify interventions, monitor the resident’s progress, or monitor the service-planned fall interventions for effectiveness following each fall. On 03/12/26 at 12:45 pm, the need to determine, document, and communicate to staff what actions or interventions were needed for the resident following a change of condition, ensure weekly progress was noted until the condition was resolved, and monitor the resident’s fall interventions for effectiveness was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 3 (Resident Care Manager). They acknowledged the findings.
Following the survey finding, the facility reviewed recent fall and incident records to ensure appropriate monitoring and documentation were completed. The facility has implemented a policy and checklist for falls, incidents, and return from ER to ensure a consistent process that includes completion of an initial incident report, initiation of alert charting and monitoring, and a final progress note indicating resolution and evaluation of interventions for effectiveness. The process also includes implementation and review of fall interventions to determine if they are effective and require revision. All staff will be educated on these requirements by 05/10/26, including expectations for timely documentation, ongoing monitoring, and follow-up after incidents, and this will be included in new employee orientation. The Administrator, Nurse, Resident Care Manager (RCM) are responsible for oversight and ongoing compliance, and this plan will be fully implemented by 05/10/26.

Findings include, but are not limited to: The facility was toured on 03/10/26 at 12:25 pm. The following was identified: a. During an interview and a tour of Resident 1’s apartment, no call system was observed in the resident’s bathroom or living space. When asked how s/he would call for assistance when in the unit, Resident 1 stated s/he did not know. In an interview on 03/11/26 at 2:50 pm, Staff 1 (Administrator) stated the facility provided each resident with a call pendant that connected to the facility’s call system and staff pagers. During the survey, from 03/10/26 through 03/12/26, residents were not observed wearing pendants. In an interview on 03/12/26 at 11:24 am, Staff 9 (CG) acknowledged that, though residents were provided call pendants, most did not wear them either because they preferred not to and kept removing them, or the resident’s pendant was misplaced somewhere in the resident’s apartment. The observations and interview with the CG were shared with Staff 1 on 03/12/26 at 11:40 am. She acknowledged the facility needed to ensure residents wore their pendants. b. Two common-use bathroom/spa rooms did not have a manually operated emergency call system. In an interview on 03/11/26 at 2:50 pm, Staff 1 acknowledged the two common bathrooms did not have a manually operated emergency call system. The need to ensure the facility had a call system that connected resident units to the care staff center or staff pagers and a manually operated emergency call system in each toilet and bathing facility used by residents and visitors was reviewed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (RN), Staff 3 (Resident Care Manager), and Staff 5 (Chief Operations Officer) on 03/12/26 at 1:50 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
The facility has identified the need to upgrade the current call light system and is in the process of coordinating with vendors for installation of a new system.

The facility failed to provide each resident with a key to their unit as required. The need to ensure residents were provided a key to their unit was reviewed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (RN), Staff 3 (Resident Care Manager), and Staff 5 (Chief Operations Officer) on 03/12/26 at 1:50 pm.
