The policy must explain how a facility evaluates and accounts for both scheduled and unscheduled resident needs. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure effective methods of responding to and resolving resident complaints. Findings include, but are not limited to: In an interview on 08/19/26 at 10:25 am, Staff 1 (Interim ED/Business Office Manager) stated any concerns from residents could be brought to the attention of management by attending Resident Council meeting or by filling out the grievance form. During the entrance conference on 08/17/26 the survey team requested three months of resident council meeting minutes. One documented resident council meeting dated 05/31/26 was provided for review. On 08/20/26 at 11:24 am, Staff 3 (Activity Director) confirmed there were no records of Resident Council meetings conducted for the year prior to 05/31/26. The meeting on 05/31/26 identified the following resident concerns: “ Freezer doesn’t freeze ice…”; “ No reply [room number] on [doctor] appointment on June 1st, upset because there was no reply to message”; “ Nursing sometimes not enough people on the floor”; and “ When is the management going to be here and stay here”. There was no documentation of follow up or resolution. In an interview on 08/20/26 at 12:23 pm, Resident 1, who had recently moved into the facility, was asked who s/he would go to and how s/he would make a grievance. Resident 1 was unaware of whom to contact or whether the facility had a grievance procedure and indicated s/he would go to her/his son. In an interview on 08/18/26 at 2:02 pm, Resident 2 stated, s/he “can’t complain to management because [I am] bed-bound and have to rely on caregivers [to relate any complaint].” A grievance binder located in the secure cabinet behind the receptionist counter contained no documentation on ongoing system for documenting, tracking, following up on and resolving resident complaints and grievances. The need to ensure the facility developed effective methods of responding to and resolving resident complaints was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (Health Services Director), and Staff 3 (ED) on 08/20/26 at 11:48 am. They acknowledged the findings.

1) The Executive Director will review and address all concerns identified during the last three Resident Council meetings. Each concern will be documented, assigned for follow-up, investigated, and resolved or tracked until resolution. The response provided to the resident(s) will also be documented. The Executive Director will follow up with Resident 1 to explain the grievance process and how to submit a complaint. The Executive Director will address Resident 2's concern regarding being bed-bound and unable to independently report a complaint. Staff will be instructed to accept and document verbal complaints and assist residents who need help communicating or submitting grievances. 2) A standardized Resident Complaint/Grievance Tracking Log containing: Date Received, Resident, Concern, Method Received, Person Assigned, Investigation/Action, Response Date, Resolution/Status, Date Closed will be implemented. Verbal complaints will be documented in the same manner as written complaints. The grievance process will be explained during admission and reinforced through Resident Council and other resident communications. Information will be provided in an accessible manner for residents who need assistance. Resident Council concerns will be documented, assigned for follow-up, and reviewed for resolution. Minutes will reflect concerns raised and applicable follow-up actions or status. All employees, including department managers, will receive education on the revised grievance process. Staff will be instructed not to disregard, delay, or simply pass along a resident complaint without ensuring it is reported and documented. 3) The Executive Director or designee will audit the grievance/complaint tracking log weekly for 90 days to verify that: 1. Complaints are documented. 2. Complaints are assigned appropriately. 3. Investigation and follow-up are documented. 4. The resident or representative receives a response. 5. Resolution or current status is documented. 6. Unresolved complaints are escalated and followed through resolution. Resident Council minutes will be reviewed monthly for 90 days to ensure concerns and follow-up actions are documented. Audit findings will be reported to the Executive Director. Any variance will be corrected promptly, with additional education or corrective action provided as needed. After the initial 90-day monitoring period, grievance monitoring will become part of the facility's ongoing quality assurance process. 4)The Executive Director is responsible for overall implementation of this Plan of Correction.

(c) If the resident's service plan is revised and updated at the quarterly review, changes must be dated and initialed, and prior historical information must be maintained. 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, provided clear directions to staff regarding the delivery of services and/or were reviewed and updated following a significant change of condition for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, and 3) whose service plans were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 02/2026 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and atrial fibrillation. S/he was subsequently admitted to hospice services following a stroke. Observations were made of the resident's care on 08/19/26. Interviews with the resident and facility staff were conducted, and the service plan dated 07/10/26 was reviewed. Resident 2's service plan was not reflective of the resident's current needs and lacked clear instructions to staff in the following areas: * Pacemaker precautions, instructions for proper maintenance, and how to monitor malfunctions; * Number of staff needed to assist with activities of daily living; * Instructions for staff as to how side rails were to be used, monitored for safety, and to whom to report any malfunctions; * Oxygen equipment precautions, instructions for how to monitor for safety; * Instructions on what types of skin impairments to report and to whom; * Instructions on proper maintenance of air mattress used for pressure ulcer prevention; * Incorrect reference to resident using dentures; * Instructions to staff on providing care to resident with a history of strokes; * Instructions on use of urinary tract antiseptic to prevent urinary tract infection; and * Instructions on specific changes of condition to report to hospice. 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 (Interim ED/Business Office Manager), Staff 2 (Health Services Director), and Staff 3 (ED) on 08/20/26 at 11:48 am. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 07/2026 with diagnoses including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and depression. Review of Resident 1’s clinical record showed the service plan, dated 07/27/26, was not reviewed and updated after a significant change of condition related to weight loss was identified on 08/04/26. The service plan did not reflect the resident’s current nutritional needs and preferences, including the foods s/he liked and disliked, or indicate s/he ate all meals in the apartment. Observations of Resident 1 and interviews with staff confirmed the resident ate all meals in his/her apartment. On 08/20/26 at 12:43 pm, the need to ensure service plans were reviewed and updated when a resident experienced a significant change of condition and were reflective of the resident’s current care needs was discussed with Staff 1 (Interim ED/Business Office Manager), Staff 2 (Health Services Director), and Staff 3 (ED). They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 3 moved into the facility in 05/2025 with diagnoses including Type 2 diabetes, dementia, and depression. Resident 3’s clinical record, including the service plan dated 07/13/26, was reviewed, and staff interviews were conducted. The service plan did not provide clear direction to staff regarding the delivery of services in the following areas: * The level of assistance the resident required with toileting and incontinence care; and * Interventions staff were to use when the resident refused incontinence care and showers. In an interview on 08/18/26 at 9:07 am, Staff 16 (Nursing Assistant) reported Resident 3 required full assistance with incontinence care. On 08/20/26 at 12:43 pm, the need to ensure service plans provided clear direction to staff regarding the delivery of services and reflected each resident’s current needs was discussed with Staff 1 (Interim ED/Business Office Manager), Staff 2 (Health Services Director), and Staff 3 (ED). They acknowledged the findings.

OAR 411-054-0045 (1)(f)(B) RN Delegation and Teaching (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:(B) Delegation and Teaching. Delegation and teaching must be provided and documented by a RN in accordance with the Oregon Administrative Rules adopted by the Oregon State Board of Nursing in chapter 851, division 047. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure delegation and teaching was provided and documented by a RN in accordance with the Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) adopted by the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) in chapter 851, division 047 for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#3) who received subcutaneous injections by facility unregulated assistive persons (UAPs). Findings include, but are not limited to: Pursuant to OAR chapter 851 division 006, delegation process means the process utilized by an RN to authorize an UAP to perform a nursing procedure for a client, the outcome of which the RN retains accountability for. The RN must document all delegation process decisions, actions and outcomes pursuant OAR 851-045 including comprehensive assessment, reasoned conclusions that identify client problems and risks, educate the UAP and evaluate their learned knowledge, and provide a one-on-one education and evaluation experience with the UAP and the client. During the acuity interview on 08/17/26 at 3:42 pm, Resident 3 was identified to be administered a subcutaneous injection at least daily by a facility UAP. Resident 3's MARs from 08/01/26 through 08/17/26 revealed subcutaneous injections had been given by Staff 7 (Med Aide/Nursing Assistant), Staff 9 (Med Aide/Nursing Assistant), Staff 10 (Med Aide/Nursing Assistant), Staff 11 (Med Aide/Nursing Assistant), Staff 12 (Med Aide/Nursing Assistant), and Staff 17 (Med Aide). Review of the nursing delegation binder revealed the following: * Nursing delegation authorizations for Staff 7 and Staff 12 were out-of-date; * Staff 9, Staff 10, Staff 11, and Staff 17 had no delegation authorization; and * The RN comprehensive assessment to determine Resident’s 3 condition was stable and predictable, one of the criteria for delegation of a nursing procedure, was not documented in the nursing delegation binder. Witness 1 (Consultant RN) assumed nursing oversight at the facility on 08/17/26. During an interview on 08/19/26 at 3:16 pm, she confirmed the lack of documentation in the delegation binder and stated the missing information had been requested from the delegated regional RN. Updated authorizations for Staff 7, 9, 10, 12 and 17 were received by the survey team on 08/19/26 at 3:50 pm; however, none of them had been signed by the applicable UAP. There was no authorization received for Staff 11. In an interview on 08/19/26, at 2:13 pm, Staff 10, who administered insulin to Resident 3, confirmed he had never signed the delegation documents before and was asked to sign them that day (08/19/26). The need to ensure nursing delegation and teaching to facility UAPs was provided and documented by a RN in accordance with the Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) adopted by the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) in chapter 851, division 047 was discussed with Staff 1 (Interim ED/Business Office Manager), Staff 2 (Health Services Director), and Staff 3 (ED) on 08/20/26 at 11:48 am. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1) The Consultant RN, Karolyn, assumed nursing oversight on 08/17/2026 and reviewed Resident #3’s subcutaneous injection needs and delegation records. All UAPs administering the delegated injection will have current RN delegation authorization, required RN teaching, and documented competency before performing the procedure. The Consultant RN, Karolyn, reviewed the delegation status of Staff 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 17. Staff without current RN authorization will not perform the procedure until delegation is completed and documented. The Consultant RN, Karoly, completed a review of residents receiving nursing procedures through UAP delegation. Missing, expired, incomplete, or unsigned records will be corrected. UAPs without current RN authorization will not perform delegated procedures. 2)The facility will maintain a centralized Delegation Tracking Log that includes: • Resident and delegated procedure; • Authorized UAP; • Delegation date; • RN reassessment/review dates; • Documentation status; and • Date verified by facility leadership. Before a UAP performs a delegated procedure, the Health Services Director will verify that current RN authorization and required documentation are in place. 3) The Health Services Director will audit delegated nursing procedure records over the next four weeks, followed by monthly audits for three months. Audits will verify that RN assessments, delegation authorizations, teaching, competency evaluations, signatures, and follow-up documentation are current and complete. Any deficiencies will be corrected promptly, and additional staff education will be provided as needed. Audit results will be provided to the Executive Director and Health Services Director and maintained as evidence of compliance. 4)The Consultant RN/ Health Services Director are responsible for RN assessment, delegation, teaching, competency evaluation, and follow-up.

OAR 411-054-0055 (1)(f-h) Systems: Treatment Orders (f) Medication and treatment orders must be carried out as prescribed.(g) Written, signed physician or other legally recognized practitioner orders must be documented in the resident's facility record for all medications and treatments that the facility is responsible to administer.(h) Only a physician or other legally recognized prescribing practitioner is authorized to make changes in a medication or treatment order. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure physician or other legally recognized practitioner orders were carried out as prescribed for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) whose orders were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 07/2026 with diagnoses including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and depression. Review of the resident’s clinical record from 07/27/26 to 08/17/26 identified the following: On 07/31/26, Resident 1 was sent to the emergency room due to a fast heart rate and was hospitalized for four days and returned to the facility on 08/04/26 with new diagnoses of congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Resident 1 had discharge instructions containing medication and treatment orders electronically signed by the physician. The discharge instructions included an order to obtain and record Resident 1’s weight daily. The instructions required notification of the resident’s primary care provider for a weight gain of more than three pounds within 24 hours or five pounds within one week. Resident 1’s MAR from 08/01/26 through 08/17/26 contained no documented evidence the daily weight order and notification instructions were carried out as prescribed. On 08/20/26 at 12:43 pm, the need to ensure physician or other legally recognized practitioner orders were carried out as prescribed was reviewed with Staff 1 (Interim ED/Business Office Manager), Staff 2 (Health Services Director), and Staff 3 (ED). They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 02/2026 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and atrial fibrillation. S/he was subsequently admitted to hospice services following a stroke. Resident 2's hospice physician orders, dated 05/29/26, and vitals report from 01/17/26 through 08/17/26 were reviewed. Interviews with the resident and facility staff were conducted. The following order was noted: * “Please notify [hospice] of any refusals and/or missed medications.” In an interview with Staff 6 (Nursing Assistant) at 11:26 am on 8/19/26, Staff 6 stated the resident was refusing weights due to not wanting to get out of bed. There was no documented evidence the facility notified the hospice provider during 06/2026 and 07/2026. In an interview on 08/19/26 at 8:21 am, Staff 10 (Med Aide/Nursing assistant) stated typically the facility RN would provide documentation to the hospice provider per orders. The RN was not available for interview because she was no longer employed by the community. The need to ensure physician or other legally recognized practitioner orders were carried out as prescribed was reviewed with Staff 1 (Interim ED/Business Office Manager), Staff 2 (Health Services Director), and Staff 3 (ED) on 08/20/26 at 11:48 am. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1) Resident 1: The Health Services Director, Kashia, reviewed the hospital discharge orders and clinical record.

OAR 411-054-0037 (1)(b-g) Acuity Based Staffing Tool - ABST Time (1) DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN ACUITY-BASED STAFFING (b) Accurately capture care time and care elements that staff are providing to each resident as outlined in each individual service plan. Established care time must be resident specific, rather than a predetermined average. (c) Develop a staffing plan for each shift, that meets the scheduled and unscheduled needs of all residents. (d) Develop ABST reports and posted staffing plans that reflect distinct and segregated areas as outlined in OAR 411-054-0070(1). (e) If applicable, determine ABST time for residents on a Specific Needs Settings Contract and residents not on a Specific Needs Setting Contract to build posted staffing plan as outlined in this rule. (f) Develop written policies and procedures to accurately and consistently implement the ABST. The policy must explain how a facility evaluates and accounts for both scheduled and unscheduled resident needs. (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 and care elements staff were providing to residents for 1 of 3 sampled residents (# 2) whose ABST data was reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 moved into the facility in 02/2026 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and atrial fibrillation. S/he was subsequently admitted to hospice services following a stroke. The resident’s inputs and the service plan dated 07/10/26 were reviewed. Observations of the resident were made, and interviews with staff were conducted. The resident’s ABST calculation did not incorporate expected care time in the following areas: * Time spent on safety checks, fall prevention; * Time spent assisting with communication, assistive devices for hearing, vision, speech; * Time spent monitoring physical conditions or symptoms; * Time spent providing treatments; * Time spent assisting with leisure activities; * Time spent repositioning in bed or chair; and * Time spent transferring in or out of bed or a chair. The need to ensure the ABST addressed the amount of staff time needed to provide care was discussed with Staff 1 (Interim ED/Business Office Manager), Staff 2 (Health Services Director), and Staff 3 (ED) on 08/20/26 at 11:48 am. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1) The HSD, Kashia, reviewed Resident #2’s current service plan dated 07/10/2026, care needs, services provided, and ABST evaluation. The ABST was corrected to accurately reflect the resident’s current care needs and service plan, including applicable care elements for safety/fall prevention, communication assistance, monitoring of conditions, treatments, leisure activities, repositioning, and transfers. The Health Services Director, Kashia, and Executive Director, Jessica, verified that the revised ABST accurately reflects the resident’s current care needs and service plan. 2) The HSD will complete a review of all residents’ ABST evaluations against their current service plans to ensure: • All applicable care elements are identified. • Care time is resident-specific and not based on predetermined averages. • ABST information matches the current service plan. • Changes in condition and care needs are reflected. • Scheduled and unscheduled care needs are considered. • Staffing plans reflect identified resident care needs. Any discrepancies will be corrected promptly, and staffing will be adjusted when resident care-time needs change. The facility will review and update each resident’s ABST: • Prior to move-in; • When there is a significant change in condition; and • At least quarterly with the service plan review. 3) The Health Services Director will audit ABST evaluations over 30 days, followed by weekly audits for 60 days and monthly audits for three months. Audits will verify that: • ABST information matches the current service plan. • Applicable care elements are identified. • Care time is resident-specific. • Changes in resident needs are reflected. • Scheduled and unscheduled care needs are considered. • Staffing plans correspond with current resident needs and ABST information. Discrepancies will be corrected promptly. Audit results will be documented and reviewed. 4)The Executive Director and Health Services Director.
