The form is maintained on the Department’s website for facilities to use. Facilities may develop and use their own forms. The signed form must be maintained in the resident’s records. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed prohibit the falsification of records for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1 and 3) whose records were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 moved into the facility in 04/2026 with diagnoses including depression and heart failure. Clinical records from 06/07/26 through 09/08/26 were requested and reviewed. When documentation regarding an assessment of devices with restraining qualities was requested, Staff 3 (Resident Services Director) provided an assessment dated 09/08/26 for the sampled resident. Additional documentation for an initial assessment was requested, and Staff 3 provided a handwritten assessment dated 04/01/26. During an interview on 09/10/26 at approximately 1:30 pm, Staff 2 (Health Services Director/RN) indicated she was hired on 03/30/26, in the first week completed online training and did not start performing resident assessments until after training in a sister facility, approximately two to three weeks after her date of hire. Staff 2 acknowledged the side rail assessment dated 04/01/26 had been completed during survey. The need to ensure the facility prohibited the falsification of records was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2, and Staff 3 on 09/11/26 at 11:25 am. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 03/2023 with diagnoses including Type 2 diabetes with diabetic kidney disease. The resident’s clinical record from 06/07/26 through 09/08/26 was reviewed, and the following was identified: During the acuity interview on 09/08/26 at 9:26 am, with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health Services Director/RN), and Staff 3 (Resident Services Director), Resident 1 was identified as having chronic diabetic wounds managed by HH. On 09/09/26 at 11:25 am, a request was made for outside provider documentation from Staff 1. Staff 1 provided the surveyor with documentation from HH on 09/09/26 at 11:25 am. The documentation was unsigned when provided. At 12:40 pm, the surveyor asked Staff 2 for documented evidence of her review of the documentation. At 1:28 pm, Staff 1 returned the same documentation reviewed at 11:25 am to the surveyor, and the documents had been signed by Staff 2 with a note that she “agreed with the plan of care.” The notes and signature on the documentation from Staff 2 were undated. An interview with Staff 1 at 1:28 pm confirmed that Staff 2 had signed the documentation between when the information was first provided to the surveyor at 11:25 am and when the documentation was provided to the surveyor again at 1:28 pm on 09/09/26. The need to ensure the facility did not falsify records was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2, and Staff 3 on 09/11/26 at 2:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. Correction for each example/resident: Resident 3 has a current Supportive Device Safety Evaluation completed 09/08/2026, and the service plan was updated with staff instructions for device use and monitoring. Resident 1 had nursing review and agreement with the PACE wound care plan documented on 09/11/2026. 2. System correction to prevent recurrence: Staff responsible for resident records were retrained that records must reflect the actual completion date, late entries must be identified as late entries, training/practice documents must not be filed as resident records, and nursing review and agreement of outside provider wound plans must be documented when the resident remains in community care. 3. How often it will be evaluated: The Executive Director or designee will audit resident records monthly for three months, including supportive device documentation, late entries, and outside provider documentation. Findings will be reviewed with Health Services and corrected as identified. 4. Responsible party: Executive Director or designee.

Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 06/2024 with diagnoses including bi-polar disorder and delirium due to known psychological condition. The resident’s clinical record was reviewed, including the service plan dated 05/21/26. Observations of the resident were made, and interviews were conducted. a. Between 06/06/26 and 08/31/26, Resident 2 experienced a significant change of condition, and there was no documented evidence the resident’s service plan was reviewed and updated as needed following the significant change of condition. On 09/10/26 at 2:12 pm, Staff 1 (ED) confirmed the resident’s service plan had not been updated since 05/21/26. b. The service plan was not reflective of the resident’s current care needs and/or did not provide clear direction regarding the delivery of services in the following areas: * Fall risk and precautions including the use of nonskid socks and ensuring the bedside commode was in a “red box” taped to the floor; * Toileting assistance instruction and number of staff needed; * Transfer assistance including instruction and number of staff needed; * Dress and undress assistance including instructions related to pain and number of staff needed; * Bed change instructions and number of staff required; * Ambulation assistance including instructions and number of staff needed; * Bathing assistance including number of staff needed; * Air pressure mattress instructions to staff; * Activities noted in the service plan contradicted activities noted in the resident’s behavioral plan; * Meal assistance including instructions for set-up assistance in the resident’s room and to encourage soft foods; and * Fire evacuation instructions including number or staff to evacuate resident to a point of safety. Observations conducted from 09/08/26 through 09/10/26 revealed the resident was in bed without the use of nonskid socks, the bedside commode was not placed in the “red box” taped to the floor, and two staff were observed to enter the resident’s room at the same time to provide toileting, bed changes, or transfer assistance. The need to ensure resident service plans were updated with a significant change of condition, were reflective of current care needs and provided clear direction to staff was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health Services Director/RN), and Staff 3 (Resident Services Director) on 09/11/26 at 11:51 am. 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: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to determine and document what resident-specific action or intervention was needed for short-term changes of condition, communicate the action or intervention to staff on each shift, and monitor residents consistent with their evaluated needs and service plan for 1 of 2 sampled residents (# 2) who were reviewed with multiple falls. Resident 2 continued to experience injury falls. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 06/2024 with diagnoses including acute kidney failure and delirium due to known psychological condition. During the acuity interview on 09/08/26 at 9:26 am, the resident was identified to have had recent falls. The resident’s clinical record, dated 06/06/26 through 09/08/26, was reviewed, observations of the resident were completed, and interviews with facility staff were conducted. The following was identified: * Resident 2 experienced unwitnessed injury falls on 06/09/26, 07/07/26, 07/16/26, 08/03/26, 08/16/26, 08/30/26, and 08/31/26. * Resident 2 experienced unwitnessed non-injury falls on 06/06/26, 07/15/26, 07/17/26, 07/26/26, 08/17/26, and three falls on 08/22/26. The resident’s service plan, dated 05/21/26, instructed staff to keep items s/he may need within reach and remove potential slip hazards. The service plan further indicated that due to pain, mobility was challenging and s/he was no longer able to pick items up off the floor. Facility temporary service plans (TSPs) for the falls, dated 06/06/26 and 07/07/26, were generic templates that lacked resident-specific information. On 07/11/26, a TSP directed staff to “check in on resident [six] times throughout the shift” and to ensure the resident wore nonskid socks while in bed to help reduce the risk of falls during transfers. Observations from 09/08/26 through 09/10/26 showed the resident was not wearing nonskid socks in bed. Additional TSPs, dated 07/15/26, 07/16/26, 07/17/26, 07/26/26, 08/07/26, 08/16/26, 08/17/26, 08/22/26, 08/22/26, 08/30/26, and 08/31/26, were generic templates that lacked resident-specific actions or interventions. There was no documented evidence current fall interventions were monitored for effectiveness or that new interventions were developed. On 09/08/26 at 11:45 am and 11:57 am, Staff 17 (Care Partner) and Staff 16 (Care Partner) reported the resident’s door was kept open, with permission from the resident, so staff could keep a close eye on him/her. On 09/08/26 at 1:48 pm, Staff 14 (Care Partner) confirmed the resident needed two-person transfer assistance in and out of his/her bed and on and off the bedside commode. Staff 14 also reported the resident had multiple falls in the past two to three months and stated the door to the resident’s room was kept open for staff to ensure s/he wasn’t on the floor. On 09/10/26 at 4:24 pm, Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health Services Director/RN), and Staff 3 (Resident Services Director) confirmed the lack of documentation related to determining actions or interventions and monitoring the resident consistent with evaluated needs and service plan, including reviewing current fall interventions for effectiveness and developing new interventions. The facility failed to determine and document resident-specific actions or interventions, communicate the actions or interventions to staff on each shift, and monitor the resident consistent with his/her evaluated needs and service plan, and the resident continued to experience injury falls. The need to ensure the facility determined and documented what resident-specific action or intervention was needed, communicated the action or intervention to staff on each shift, and residents were monitored consistent with evaluated needs and service plan was reviewed with Staff 1, Staff 2, and Staff 3 on 09/11/26 at 11:51 am. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. Correction for each example/resident: Resident 2’s falls and change of condition were reviewed on 09/10/2026 and 09/11/2026. Resident-specific fall interventions were added to the service plan, including items within reach, pathway/clutter checks, lighting, assistive device placement, fall mat placement, transfer assistance, toileting/commode support, pain/hospice considerations, and staff notification instructions. Current residents with falls or changes of condition were reviewed by 09/25/2026. 2. System correction to prevent recurrence: Falls and changes of condition will be reviewed, classified as short-term or significant, documented with resident-specific interventions, communicated to staff, and monitored for effectiveness. Significant changes will trigger nursing review and service plan update as needed. 3. How often it will be evaluated: Residents with falls or changes of condition will be reviewed daily at SMART meeting. Change of condition and fall follow-up documentation will be audited monthly for three months. 4. Responsible party: Executive Director or designee.

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 an RN significant change of condition assessment was completed which included documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 2 and 3) who had significant changes of condition. Resident 2 continued to experience injury falls. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 06/2024 with diagnoses including acute kidney failure and delirium due to known psychological condition. During the acuity interview on 09/08/26 at 9:26 am, the resident was identified to have had recent falls with injuries including skin tears and bruising. The resident's clinical record, dated 06/06/26 through 09/08/26, was reviewed, and interviews with facility staff were conducted. The following was identified: a. From 06/06/26 through 08/31/26, Resident 2 experienced 15 unwitnessed falls, some of which resulted in injury and staff reported in interviews that the resident’s ADL needs had changed to needing assistance of two staff for ADLs including transfers, bed changes, dressing and undressing assistance. The change in the resident’s status constituted a significant change of condition, which required an RN assessment; however, there was no documented evidence of an RN assessment that included findings, resident status, and/or interventions developed to minimize the risk of ongoing falls as a result of the assessment. On 09/10/26 at 2:12 pm, Staff 1 (ED) confirmed there was no documented evidence of an RN assessment that included findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. Refer to C270. b. Prior to the 05/13/26 admission to hospice, Resident 2 was evaluated as independent with ADLs. After admission to hospice, the resident was evaluated to require assistance with transferring, toileting, ambulation, and repositioning. The change in the resident’s status constituted a significant change of condition, which required an RN assessment; however, there was no documented evidence of an RN assessment that included findings, resident status, and/or interventions made as a result of the assessment. On 09/10/26 at 2:12 pm, Staff 1 confirmed there was no documented evidence of an RN assessment that included findings, resident status, and/or interventions made as a result of the assessment. The need to ensure RN significant change of condition assessments were completed which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment was reviewed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (Health Service Director/RN), and Staff 3 (Resident Services Director) on 09/11/26 at 11:51 am. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 04/2026 with diagnoses including depression and heart failure. The residents’ clinical record from 04/01/26 to 09/08/26 was reviewed, and the following was identified: a. Between 04/01/26 and 05/03/26, the resident lost nine and a half pounds, or 5.2% of his/her total body mass, in one month. This constituted a significant change of condition which required an RN assessment. b. Between 08/03/26 and 09/02/26, the resident gained 15 pounds, or 8% of his/her total body mass, in one month. This constituted a significant change of condition which required an RN assessment. There was no documented evidence the facility RN had completed a significant change of condition assessment for the weight loss or the weight gain, which included findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. On 09/09/26 at 1:30 pm, Staff 2 (Health Services Director/RN) stated she was new to the setting and acknowledged she had not reviewed weights and was scheduled to receive training the following week. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed for all residents with a significant change of condition discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 and Staff 3 (Resident Services Director) on 09/11/26 at 11:25 am. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. Correction for each example/resident: Nursing review was documented for Resident 2’s significant change related to repeated falls, falls with injury, transfer status, and ADL assistance needs. Nursing review was documented for Resident 3’s significant change related to weight changes. Service plans were reviewed and updated as applicable. 2. System correction to prevent recurrence: Significant changes of condition will have documented nursing review that includes current status, findings, risks, interventions, provider/hospice notification when applicable, and whether the service plan requires revision. 3. How often it will be evaluated: Weekly for four weeks, then monthly for three months. Findings will be reviewed with Health Services and Resident Services, and corrections/retraining will be completed as identified. 4. Responsible party: Executive Director or designee.

OAR 411-054-0060 Restraints and Supportive Devices Residential care and assisted living facilities are intended to be restraint free environments. (1) Restraints are not permitted except when a resident's actions present an imminent danger to self or others and only until immediate action is taken by medical, emergency, or police personnel. (2) Supportive devices with restraining qualities are permitted under the following documented circumstances: (a) The resident specifically requests or approves of the device and the facility has informed the individual of the risks and benefits associated with the device; and (b) The facility registered nurse, a physical therapist or occupational therapist has conducted a thorough assessment; and (c) The facility has documented other less restrictive alternatives evaluated prior to the use of the device; and (d) The facility has instructed caregivers on the correct use and precautions related to use of the device. (3) Supportive devices with restraining qualities may be utilized for residents who are unable to evaluate the risks and benefits of the device when sections (2)(b), (2)(c) and (2)(d) have been met. (4) Documentation of the use of supportive devices with restraining qualities must be included in the resident service plan and evaluated on a quarterly basis. Stat. Auth.: ORS 410.070 & 443.450 Stats. Implemented: ORS 443.400 - 443.455, 443.991 Hist.: SPD 14-2007, f. 8-31-07, cert. ef. 11-1-07 This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN, PT, or OT conducted a thorough assessment of a supportive device with restraining qualities, document other less restrictive alternatives were evaluated prior to the use of the device, instruct caregivers on the correct use and precautions related to the use of the device, and include the use of the supportive device in the service plan for 1 of 3 sampled residents (# 3) who was observed with side rails. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 04/2026 with diagnoses including depression and heart failure. On 09/08/26 at 1:00 pm, Resident 3’s room was observed with bilateral half siderails on the bed. The right siderail was lowered and in a lateral position. The left siderail was raised in a vertical position with a knob that was loose. a. A current assessment for the siderails was requested from Staff 3 (Resident Services Director) on 09/08/26, and a copy of an assessment, completed on 09/08/26, was provided on 09/09/26. An initial assessment was requested on 09/09/26 and Staff 3 provided an assessment dated 04/01/26. During an interview with Staff 2 (Health Services Director/RN) on 09/10/26 at 1:30 pm, Staff 2 acknowledged the side rail assessment dated 04/01/26 had been completed during survey. Refer to C155, example 1. b. The resident’s service plan, dated 08/31/26, did not include any instructions for staff as to how the side rails were to be used and monitored for safety or to whom any malfunctions should be reported. The need to ensure the facility had an RN, PT, or OT conduct a thorough assessment of a supportive device with restraining qualities, document other less restrictive alternatives evaluated prior to the use of the device and provide instruction to caregivers on the correct use and precautions related to use of the device was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 and Staff 3 on 09/11/26 at 11:25 am. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. Correction for each example/resident: Resident 3’s Supportive Device Safety Evaluation for side rails was completed on 09/08/2026. The evaluation documented purpose, risks and benefits, less restrictive alternatives, resident ability to use the device safely, restraining qualities, device condition, and resident agreement. The service plan was updated with device use, monitoring, and reporting instructions. 2. System correction to prevent recurrence: A DME/supportive device tracker was completed on 09/15/2026. Devices will be identified at move-in and during ongoing reviews. Supportive devices with restraining qualities will be reviewed initially by an RN and then ongoing by a qualified reviewer, documented, and reflected in the service plan. 3.

(b) Whenever there is a significant change of condition as defined in OAR 411-054-0040(1)(b). (c) No less than quarterly and corresponding with resident service plan updates, updating as required by OAR 411-054-0034. (5) DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN UPDATED POSTED STAFFING PLAN. Each facility should use the results of an ABST to develop and update the facility’s posted staffing plan. The staffing plan must outline the staffing numbers required to meet the scheduled and unscheduled needs of all residents in the facility, for each shift. The ABST and staffing plan must be reviewed at the frequency required in paragraph (4) of this rule. (a) The posted staffing plan must incorporate: (A) The total ABST care time in minutes per shift, per day. If a proprietary ABST does not have this functionality, at a minimum the ABST total time must be shown in daily minutes as referenced in paragraph (2) of this rule. (B) The unscheduled care needs of residents. (C) The staffing requirements outlined in OAR 411-054- 0070(1). (D) Any other applicable factors to be considered. (e.g., disruptions to normal facility operations.) (E) The time for paid or unpaid staff meal breaks must be accounted for and should not be included in the total scheduled staff time per shift. (F) The facility’s distinct and segregated areas as outlined in OAR 411-054-0070(1) to meet the scheduled and unscheduled needs of residents who reside in each segregated area. Each distinct and segregated area must have a posted staffing plan. (G) The staffing needs required under the Specific Needs Contracts, if applicable. (b) The facility must maintain staffing documentation to show consistent staffing to meet or exceed the posted staffing plan 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

(b) If certain residents within the facility are served under a Contract, and other residents are not served by a Contract: (A) The facility must maintain a posted staffing plan that includes the staffing required for residents served by the Contract as well as the staffing required for residents not served by the Contract. (B) The facility must prepare two distinct ABST reports: one for residents served by the Contract and the other for residents not served by the Contract. (C) If the ABST indicates higher staffing numbers than the Contract for residents who are served by the Contract, the facility must staff to numbers indicated by the ABST. (c) If the facility has any residents funded by an exceptional payment, as provided in OAR 411-027-0050, that must be included in the ABST and the facility must staff to the greater of the numbers as indicated in the exception or the ABST. 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) was updated before a resident moved in for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#3) and whenever there was a significant change of condition for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#3), and no less than quarterly at the same time the resident’s service plan was updated for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#3) and multiple unsampled residents whose ABST data was reviewed. Findings include; but are not limited to: The facility’s ABST data was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health Services Director/RN) and Staff 3 (Resident Services Director) on 09/11/26 at 11:08 am and revealed the following: a. Resident 3 moved into the facility in 04/2026, and the ABST evaluation was created seven days following move-in, not prior to move-in. b. The ABST data for sixteen unsampled residents and one sampled resident (#3) was not updated quarterly. c. Resident #3 experienced two significant changes of condition related to weight changes on 05/03/26 and 09/02/26, and the ABST data had not been updated. The need to ensure residents’ ABST was updated before a resident moved in, whenever there was a significant change of condition, and no less than quarterly at the same time the resident’s service plan was updated was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2 and Staff 3 on 09/11/26 at 11:08 am. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

The Executive Director reviewed the staffing plan, and no direct-care staffing change was needed based on the ABST review. ABSTs for residents moving in the week of 09/28/2026 were completed before move-in by 09/25/2026. 2. System correction to prevent recurrence: ABST completion was added to the pre-move-in process. ABSTs will be completed before move-in, after significant change of condition/care needs, and quarterly with the service plan review. Results will be compared with the service plan and staffing plan. 3. How often it will be evaluated: Monthly for three months. 4. Responsible party: Executive Director or designee.
