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 and ensure weekly progress was noted until the condition was resolved for 1 of 3 sampled residents (# 1) who experienced falls. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 1 moved into the assisted living facility in 07/2025 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure and osteoporosis. The resident was identified in the acuity interview on 08/10/26 as having recently fallen, resulting in a left humerus (shoulder) fracture. Resident 1’s clinical records from 05/13/26 through 08/10/26 and current service plan, dated 08/04/26, were reviewed, and interviews with the resident and staff were conducted. There was no documented evidence the facility determined and documented what resident-specific actions or interventions were needed for the resident, communicated the action or intervention to staff, and/or monitored the following changes of condition through resolution: * 07/24/26: Unwitnessed fall without injury; and * 08/03/26: Unwitnessed fall resulting in left humerus (shoulder) fracture. On 08/12/26 at 8:35 am, Resident 1 was observed in her recliner with legs elevated. The resident stated s/he was very independent prior to the fall but now was afraid to get up on her own, as s/he didn’t feel sure of his/her balance. On 08/12/26 at 12:30 pm, Staff 2 (RN) confirmed she had not determined new fall interventions following Resident 1’s fall with injury, as the standard interventions were always in place: ensure the resident was wearing non-skid footwear and paths were well lit and uncluttered and encourage the resident to use the call pendant for help when transferring. The need to determine, document, and communicate to staff what resident-specific actions or interventions were needed for the resident following a change of condition and ensure weekly progress was noted until the condition was resolved was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2, and Staff 3 (RCC) on 08/13/26 at 2:25 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 09/2025 with diagnoses including mild cognitive impairment. Weight records, dated 04/08/26 through 08/12/26, and progress notes, dated 05/28/26 through 07/29/26, were reviewed and showed the following: * A 4.8-pound weight gain between 04/08/26 and 04/20/26 (90.6 to 95.4 pounds), which constituted a 5.29% significant gain in less than one month. * A 7.6-pound weight loss between 04/20/26 and 07/15/26 (95.4 to 87.8 pounds), which constituted a 7.96% significant weight loss in less than three months. * A 4.8-pound weight loss, between 06/02/26 and 07/02/26 (92.6 to 87.8 pounds), which constituted a 5.18% significant weight loss in one month. The current weight obtained at the time of survey on 08/12/26 was noted as 90.6 pounds. This was a 2.8-pound increase from 07/15/26. The service plan, dated 06/26/26, indicated the resident was independent with meals. The resident was provided with regular textures with some cut up items for easy chewing and swallowing.

The resident was noted with some confusion and memory impairment but could complete some ADLs on his/her own, call staff for assistance, and direct his/her care. The resident was known to use the call light frequently, but when staff came to assist him/her the resident would deny ever using the call light and get agitated with staff bothering him/her. Multiple observation attempts were made near meal delivery times for two lunches, breakfast, and dinner. The resident’s meal intake appeared to be between 50% and 75% when the resident allowed entrance and observation. The resident did not attend any meals in the dining room during survey. The resident’s kitchenette had a variety of snacks available for him/her to obtain on their own throughout the day. Interviews with staff and the resident between 08/10/26 and 08/13/26 identified the following: Resident 4 indicated s/he received plenty to eat and drink. The resident stated s/he ate whatever they wanted and whenever s/he wanted and could do so on his/her own without any help. The staff would take the resident’s order and then the meal was delivered to him/her. The resident further indicated s/he did not have any concerns about what s/he ate or his/her weight. Staff 11 (CG) indicated the resident rarely attended meals in the dining room. S/he preferred to spend his/her time in the apartment.

The resident required staff assistance with ADLs but could eat and drink independently. Staff 13 further indicated the resident had good intake and selected the meal items s/he wanted for each meal. The resident previously had health shakes in place due to weight changes, but s/he refused to take them, so they were discontinued. Staff 2 (RN) indicated the resident rarely came out of his/her apartment, refused to drink the health shakes and many times to be weighed at all. Staff 2 stated she notified the resident’s physician when the first weight changes were identified, but the physician had no concerns and wanted nothing additional done. Staff 2 did not complete an assessment after the physician declined any additional interventions. There was no documented evidence an RN assessment was completed for the resident’s significant weight changes, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (RN) on 08/11/26 and 08/12/26.
