This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure service plans were reflective of residents' current care needs and provided clear directions to staff regarding the delivery of services for 3 of 6 sampled residents (#s 4, 5, and 6) whose service plans were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 12/2025 with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, and chronic atrial fibrillation. S/he was subsequently admitted to hospice services on 07/03/26, with an admitting diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Observations were made of the residents’ care on 07/14/26 and 07/15/26. Interviews with the resident and facility staff were conducted, and the service plan, dated 07/03/26, was reviewed. Resident 4's service plan was not reflective of the residents’ current needs and lacked clear instructions to staff in the following areas: * Instructions for proper maintenance of blood glucose monitor on right upper extremity and how to monitor for malfunctions; * Instructions to staff for blood glucose monitoring protocol when resident slept late and skipped meals; * Pacemaker precautions, instructions for proper maintenance, and how to # malfunctions; * Instructions for signs and symptoms of anxiety to report while on anti-anxiety therapy; * Instructions for peri and skin care; * Instructions for Foley leg bag and night bag placements; * Incorrect reference to resident being on anticoagulation therapy; * Instructions for specific changes of condition to report to hospice; * Instructions for fall prevention; * Two electric wheelchair equipment precautions and instructions for proper maintenance; and * Incorrect reference to resident not requiring assistance with dressing. During an interview on 07/14/26 at 11:27 am, Resident 4 stated s/he needed one-person assistance with dressing and switching placement of his/her Foley bag. Staff 12 (CG), interviewed on 07/15/26 at 11:07 am, confirmed Resident 4 “starts calling for assist at 6:30 am to help with dressing, Foley bag…” and other ADLs for which s/he required one-person assistance. Review of the MARs confirmed the resident was taking sertraline (for anxiety) daily and Eliquis (blood thinner) was discontinued upon admission to hospice on 07/03/26. Observation of a transfer in the dining room from dining chair to electric wheelchair on 07/13/26 at 1:28 pm confirmed Resident 4 required one-person assistance. The need to ensure service plans reflected residents' current needs and provided clear instructions to staff regarding the delivery of services was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health Wellness Director), Staff 3 (Area RN), Staff 13 (District Director of Operations), and Staff 14 (District Director of Clinical Services) on 07/16/26 at 3:05 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 6 was admitted to the facility in 04/2023 with diagnoses including Parkinson’s disease with dyskinesia (uncontrollable body movements, tremors), dementia, and adult failure to thrive. During the acuity interview on 07/13/26, Resident 6 was identified as receiving hospice services. Observations were made of the resident's care on 07/15/26 and 07/16/26. Interviews with facility staff were conducted, and the service plan, dated 05/19/26, was reviewed. Resident 6's service plan was not reflective of the resident's current needs and lacked clear instructions to staff in the following areas: * Instructions for safe use and monitoring of a shoulder harness used to facilitate an upright seated posture; * Instructions for communicating with a non-verbal resident who used gestures and other bodily movements for communicating with staff; * Instructions for aspiration precautions and interventions while choking; * Incorrect reference to resident diet texture; * Instructions regarding to whom weight gain or loss and changes in appetite to be reported; * Instructions for peri and skin care; * Instructions for signs and symptoms of anxiety to report while on anti-anxiety therapy; * Instructions for signs and symptoms of depression to report while on antidepressant therapy; and * Instructions for specific changes of condition to report to hospice. Staff 8 (MT) was interviewed on 07/15/26 at 2:21 pm and stated Resident 6 was on pureed texture diet since “about four months ago.” However, the service plan available to staff stated the resident’s diet was regular and the MARs listed the diet as mechanical soft. During the meal observation on 07/16/26, Resident 6 was observed to have been served a mechanical soft texture diet and regular texture during the lunch meal. Staff 8 also stated that while eating meals, Resident 6’s “nose runs and [s/he] coughs…” Review of the MARs confirmed the resident was taking lorazepam (for anxiety) daily at midnight and sertraline (for depression) daily. The need to ensure service plans reflected residents' current needs and provided clear instructions to staff regarding the delivery of services was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health and Wellness Director), Staff 3 (Area RN), Staff 13 (District Director of Operations), and Staff 14 (District Director of Clinical Services/RN) on 07/16/26 at 3:05 pm.

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 residents who had changes of condition were evaluated, service plans were updated, actions or interventions were determined and communicated to staff on all shifts, and failed to monitor the changes, with weekly progress noted through resolution, for 3 of 6 sampled residents (#s 3, 4, and 5) with changes of condition. Resident 5 had ongoing severe weight loss. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 2/2026 with diagnoses including mild cognitive impairment and depression. a. A review of the resident's clinical record, including weight records from 04/01/26 through 07/13/26, the most recent service plan and evaluation dated 05/22/26, 07/01/26 through 07/13/26 MAR, and 04/13/26 through 07/13/26 charting notes, interviews with staff, a witness, the resident, and observations of the resident were completed between 07/13/26 and 07/15/26. Weight records indicated the resident weighed: * 04/01/26: 131.0 pounds; * 05/05/26: 134.0 pounds; * 06/02/26: 132.6 pounds; * 06/05/26: 134.0 pounds; * 06/24/26: 125.0 pounds; * 06/28/26: 121.2 pounds; and * 07/13/26: 112.4 pounds (taken during the survey). The “Weight and Vitals Summary” documented Resident 5 experienced an 11.4-pound weight loss between 06/02/26 and 06/28/26, or 8.6 % of his/her total body weight, in one month, which constituted a significant change of condition. There was no documented evidence the resident's weight loss was evaluated, and actions or interventions were determined, documented, and communicated to staff on all shifts. A “Provider Progress Note” dated 07/09/26 documented Resident 5’s Nurse Practitioner identified “abnormal weight loss,” recorded “06/05/26 135 lbs [sic] to 06/24/26 125 lbs [sic],” and signed an order for “High calorie shakes three times a day at mealtime for nutritional supplementation.” Review of Resident 5’s record showed no documented evidence the high calorie shakes that were ordered were added to the MAR, the service plan, or the kitchen “Diet type report” of nutritional orders. There was no documented evidence the shakes were given or consumed. On 07/13/26, the surveyor requested Resident 5’s current weight, and it was measured at 112.4 pounds. Resident 5 had lost an additional 8.8 pounds, or 7% of his/her total body weight, since the significant weight loss identified on 06/28/26. This represented a severe loss of over 10% in two months. Meal observations on 07/13/26 through 07/16/26 revealed Resident 5 could eat independently, but often refused meals, with approximately 20% intake during one observation of drinking a high calorie shake. Multiple interviews with staff throughout the survey indicated the resident sometimes received high calorie shakes but often refused meals and confirmed there was no documented monitoring of intake or refusal and no service plan updates regarding the weight loss. The facility failed to evaluate, determine interventions, and monitor Resident 5’s significant weight loss, and s/he continued to lose weight. b. Resident 5’s most recent quarterly evaluation, dated 05/22/26, documented “one complex wound AND [sic] wound care is to be provided by the community.” Resident 5’s most recent service plan, dated 05/22/26, documented, “Resident has a wound on [his/her] right lower extremity.” A home health RN note dated 06/08/26 documented, “reason for visit: wound care” and “R shin progressing, .4 x .5 open with dried bloody drainage.” There was no documented evidence the wounds were monitored until resolution, with progress noted weekly by the facility. The need to ensure changes of condition were identified, evaluated, and monitored was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health and Wellness Director), Staff 3 (Area RN), Staff 13 (District Director of Operations), and Staff 14 (District Director of Clinical Services) on 07/16/23 at 3:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings. Kathy 2. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 11/2022 with diagnoses including multiple sclerosis. Resident 3's 04/23/26 through 07/12/26 clinical record and charting notes were reviewed and revealed the following: The resident experienced short-term changes without documented monitoring at least weekly until resolution in the following areas: * New medications/antibiotics on 06/03/26 and 06/11/26 for urinary tract infections. Although alert monitoring was initiated for the changes, there was no documented monitoring of resident's condition at least weekly until resolution. The need to ensure short-term changes of condition were monitored at least weekly until resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 13 (District Director of Operations) on 07/15/26 at 3:05 pm. They acknowledged the findings. Example 3: Elena 3. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 12/2025 with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, and chronic atrial fibrillation. S/he was subsequently admitted to hospice services on 07/03/26, with an admitting diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Resident 4’s clinical records from 04/13/26 through 07/13/26 and current service plan, dated 07/03/26, were reviewed. The following short-term changes of condition lacked documentation the facility determined what resident-specific action or intervention was needed for the resident and/or monitored the resident through resolution of the condition for effectiveness and adverse effects: * On 04/13/26, Resident 4 returned to the facility after a visit to the emergency department related to anxiety. S/he was started on lorazepam as needed for anxiety and panic attack. There was no documented evidence staff had been provided monitoring instructions for the resident upon return from the hospital or that the resident’s condition had been monitored through resolution; * On 04/25/26, Resident 4 returned to the facility after a visit to the emergency department related to shortness of breath. There was no documented evidence the resident’s condition had been monitored through resolution; * Resident 4 was hospitalized from 05/01/26 through 05/06/26 related to fluid overload and heart failure. There was no documented evidence staff had been provided monitoring instructions or the resident’s condition had been monitored through resolution for any complications following hospitalization; * On 05/26/26 Resident 4 was hospitalized related to a urinary tract infection and subsequently transferred to the skilled nursing facility. There was no documented evidence the resident’s condition had been monitored through resolution for any complications following hospitalization upon his/her return on 06/12/26; * On 07/03/26, Resident 1 was admitted to hospice and multiple medications were discontinued. There was no documented evidence staff had been provided monitoring instructions for the resident for new medications or that the resident’s condition had been monitored through resolution; and * On 07/12/26, morphine sulfate (for pain or shortness of breath) was increased from 7.5 mg every hour as needed to 15 mg every hour as needed. There was no documented evidence the medication change had been monitored through resolution. The need to ensure the facility determined what resident-specific action or intervention was needed for the resident for short-term changes of condition and monitored the resident’s condition through resolution for effectiveness and adverse effects was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health Wellness Director), Staff 3 (Area RN), Staff 13 (District Director of Operations), and Staff 14 (District Director of Clinical Services) on 07/16/26 at 3:05 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

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:
OAR 411-054-0045 (1)(a-f)(A)(C-F) Resident Health Services Resident Health Services (1) RESIDENT HEALTH SERVICES. The facility must provide health services and have systems in place to respond to the 24-hour care needs of residents. The system must:(a) Include written policies and procedures on medical emergency response for all shifts.(b) Include an Oregon licensed nurse who is regularly scheduled for onsite duties at the facility and who is available for phone consultation.(c) Assure an adequate number of nursing hours relevant to the census and acuity of the resident population. IICs must meet contract requirements concerning nursing hours.(d) Ensure that the facility RN is notified of nursing needs as identified in OAR 411-054-0034 (Resident Move-In and Evaluation) or OAR 411-054-0036 (Service Plan - General).(e) Define the duties, responsibilities and limitations of the facility nurse in policy and procedures, admission, and disclosure material.(f) Licensed nurses must deliver the following nursing services:(A) Registered nurse (RN) assessment in accordance with facility policy and resident condition. At minimum, the RN must assess all residents with a significant change of condition. The assessment may be a full or problem focused assessment as determined by the RN. A chart review or phone consultation may be performed as part of this assessment. The RN must document findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of this assessment. The assessment must be timely, but is not required prior to emergency response in acute situations.(C) Monitoring of Resident Condition. The facility must specify the role of the licensed nurse in the facility's monitoring and reporting system.(D) Participation on Service Planning Team. If the resident experiences a significant change of condition and the service plan is updated, the licensed nurse must participate on the Service Planning Team, or must review the service plan with date and signature within 48 hours.(E) Health Care Teaching and Counseling. A licensed nurse must provide individual and group education activities as required by individual service plans and facility policies.(F) Intermittent Direct Nursing Services. If a resident requires nursing services that are not available through hospice, home health, a third-party referral, or the task cannot be delegated to facility staff, the facility must arrange to have such services provided on an intermittent or temporary basis. 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 the RN assessed a significant change of condition, failed to develop interventions based on the results of the assessment, and failed to update the service plan for 1 of 1 sampled residents (#5) who experienced significant changes of condition related to severe weight loss and a fracture. Resident 5 had ongoing severe weight loss. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 02/2026 with diagnoses including mild cognitive impairment and depression. A review of the resident's clinical record, including weight records from 02/25/26 through 07/13/26, the most recent service plan and evaluation, 07/01/26 through 07/13/26 MAR, and 04/13/26 through 07/13/26 charting notes, interviews with staff, a witness, and the resident, and observations of the resident were completed between 07/13/26 and 07/15/26. a. Weight records indicated the resident weighed: * 04/01/26: 131.0 pounds; * 05/05/26: 134.0 pounds; * 06/02/26: 132.6 pounds; * 06/05/26: 134.0 pounds; * 06/24/26: 125.0 pounds; * 06/28/26: 121.2 pounds; and * 07/13/26: 112.4 pounds (taken during the survey). Resident 5 experienced an 11.4-pound weight loss between 06/02/26 and 06/28/26, or 8.6 % of his/her total body weight, in one month, which constituted a significant change of condition for which an RN assessment was required. On 07/13/26, the surveyor requested Resident 5’s weight. It was measured at 112.4 lb. Resident 5 had lost an additional 8.8 pounds, or 7% of his/her total body weight, since the significant weight loss noted on 06/28/26. This represented a severe loss of over 10% in two months. There was no documented evidence the facility RN had completed a significant change of condition assessment for the weight loss, which included documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of an assessment or had updated the service plan until 07/13/26. The facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed for Resident 5’s significant weight loss, and s/he continued to lose weight. The need to ensure a timely RN assessment was completed for a significant change of condition was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health and Wellness Director), Staff 3 (Area RN), Staff 13 (District Director of Operations), and Staff 14 (District Director of Clinical Services) on 07/16/26 at 3:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings. Refer to C270. b. Resident 5 was hospitalized from 05/15/26 to 05/22/26 after a fall with wrist fracture. Resident 5 returned to the facility with their dominant right hand in a hard cast. A progress note by Staff 16 (Resident Care Coordinator) documented, “Resident 5 has increased care needs due to her/his mental status and broken wrist.” Multiple CG interviews confirmed Resident 5 required increased care with ADLs after returning from the hospital. The fracture, hospitalization, and decreased self-care ability upon return constituted a significant change of condition for which an RN assessment was required. There was no documented evidence of an RN assessment until 06/11/2026, 20 days after the resident returned from the hospital. The need to ensure a timely RN assessment was completed for a significant change of condition was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health and Wellness Director), Staff 3 (Area RN), Staff 13 (District Director of Operations), and Staff 14 (District Director of Clinical Services) on 07/16/23 at 3:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
1. The RN evaluated weight loss for resident #5. Resident #5's service plan and medication record were updated with interventions. Such documentation is reflected in the resident record. 2. The Area RN has been re-educated on community process for weight tracking and assessment of weight changes. Remaining residents will be reviewed to identify weight changes in need of RN assessment and to complete documentation that is reflective of the change and intervention. 3. Clinical meeting will occur no less than 3 times per week to review residents with changes in condition. During the meeting, the team will review to confirm that the Area RN or designee has been notified of significant changes. The Area RN or designee will document the interventions and monitoring through resolution or until a new baseline is established. 4. Executive Director and Area RN or designee

The resident was prescribed the following PRN medications to treat shortness of breath: * Albuterol sulfate HFA aerosol solution 108 (90 base) MCG/ACT – inhale 2 puffs orally every 4 hours; and * Levalbuterol tartrate inhalation aerosol 45 MCG/ACT – inhale 2 puffs orally every 6 hours. The MAR lacked instructions for unlicensed staff as to which medication to administer first when the resident exhibited symptoms of shortness of breath. In an interview on 7/15/26 at 11:10 am, Staff 14 (District Director of Clinical Services) confirmed the lack of parameters for the two medications and acknowledged there should be parameters instructing staff which medication to administer first. The need to maintain an accurate MAR was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health and Wellness Director), Staff 3 (Area RN), Staff 13 (District Director of Operations), and Staff 14 (District Director of Clinical Services) on 7/16/26 at 2:20 pm. They acknowledged the findings. Example #2: Elena 2. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 12/2025 with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, and chronic atrial fibrillation. S/he was subsequently admitted to hospice services on 07/03/26, with an admitting diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Resident 4's MAR, from 04/01/26 through 07/13/26, and physician orders were reviewed and revealed the following: a. The following PRN medications lacked instructions for sequential order of use: * Acetaminophen 325mg (for pain); * Acetaminophen suppository 650mg (for pain); * Lidocaine gel (for pain); * Diclofenac sodium 1% gel (for pain); * Morphine 15mg (for pain or shortness of breath); * Glycerin laxative (for constipation); * Senna 8.6mg (for bowel care); * Polyethylene Glycol 3350 (for constipation); * Sodium phosphates rectal enema (for constipation); * Ativan 0.5mg (for anxiety or agitation); and * Haloperidol 2mg/ml (for anxiety, agitation, hallucinations, nausea, vomiting). b. The following PRN medications and treatment lacked resident-specific parameters for use: * Daily weights; * Haloperidol 1 mg (for anxiety, agitation, hallucinations); and * Ativan 0.5 mg (for anxiety or agitation). c. The legally authorized prescriber orders, dated 07/03/26, contained the order for miconazole nitrate 0.02 mg/mg topical powder to apply three times daily for rash, redness, and moisture. There was no documented evidence the order was transcribed to the resident’s MAR. 3. Resident 6 was admitted to the facility in 04/2023 with diagnoses including Parkinson’s disease with dyskinesia (uncontrollable body movements, tremors), dementia, and adult failure to thrive. During the acuity interview on 07/13/26, Resident 6 was identified as receiving hospice services. Resident 6's MAR, from 07/01/26 through 07/13/26, and physician orders were reviewed and revealed the following: * There was a physician’s order to administer morphine 15 mg half-tablet by mouth every two hours as needed for pain or shortness of breath. There was no documented evidence the order was transcribed to the resident’s MAR. The need to ensure MARs were accurate and provided resident-specific parameters and instructions for PRN medications was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health Wellness Director), Staff 3 (RN), Staff 13 (District Director of Operations), and Staff 14 (District Director of Clinical Services) on 07/16/26 at 3:05 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

OAR 411-054-0055 (2) Systems: Medication Administration (2) MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION. An accurate Medication Administration Record (MAR) must be kept of all medications, including over-the-counter medications that are ordered by a legally recognized prescriber and are administered by the facility.(a) Documentation of the MAR must be completed using one of the following processes. An alternative process may be used only with a written exception from the Department.(A) The MAR may be signed as the medications are set-up or poured. Medications must not be set-up in advance for more than one administration time. If a medicine cup or other individual container is used to set-up the medications, it must be placed in a closed compartment labeled with the resident's name. Changes to the MAR that occur after the medication is delivered, must be documented by the same staff person who administered the medication.(B) The facility may choose to sign the MAR after the medication is administered to a specific resident and prior to the next resident-specific medication or treatment.(b) MEDICATION RECORD. At minimum, the medication record for each resident that the facility administers medications to, must include:(A) Current month, day and year.(B) Name of medications, reason for use, dosage, route and date and time given.(C) Any medication specific instructions, if applicable (e.g., significant side effects, time sensitive dosage, when to call the prescriber or nurse).(D) Resident allergies and sensitivities, if any.(E) Resident specific parameters and instructions for p.r.n. medications.(F) Initials of the person administering the medication. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview, observation and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an accurate MAR was kept for all medications that were ordered by a legally recognized provider and administered by the facility for 1 of 2 sampled residents (# 9) whose MARs were reviewed. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 9 moved into the community in 04/2024 with diagnoses including respiratory bronchiolitis-interstitial lung disease and Crohn’s disease. Resident 9's MARs from 09/01/26 through10/05/26 were reviewed and revealed the following: Resident 9 had two PRN medications for pain with no sequential order of administration: * Acetaminophen rectal suppository 650 mg, insert one suppository rectally every 6 hours as needed for pain or fever; and * Morphine sulfate oral solution 20 mg/5ml, give 0.25 ml by mouth every 1 hour as needed for pain or shortness of breath. Resident 9 had not been administered any PRN medications for pain from 09/01/26 through 10/05/26. During an interview on 10/06/26 at 9:26 am, Staff 7 (MT) reviewed the electronic MAR with this surveyor and acknowledged the lack of instructions for which medication to take first for pain. When asked how she would know which medication to use first, she stated it would be “based on my experience.” The need to ensure medications on the MARs included instructions and resident-specific parameters for PRN medications was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health and Wellness Director) and Staff 3 (Area RN) on 10/06/26 at 10:25 am. They acknowledged the findings.
