Based on interview and record review it was confirmed that the facility failed to give residents informed choice and opportunity to select or refuse service and to accept the responsibility or consequences. Findings include:

Compliance Specialist (CS) reviewed Resident ' s Bill of Rights, Resident #1s Oregon Portable Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST). The POLST states Do Not Attempt Resuscitation/DNR and is signed by the resident, doctor, and POA.

In interviews with Staff #1-2 on 08/02/22, they stated that residents have the right to refuse services at any time and this includes having a DNR. Emergency Services had to perform CPR on Resident #1 on 07/16/22 due to the facility staff not having access to the POLST.

The above information was discussed with Staff #1-2 who acknowledged that the incident did occur.

Based on interview and record review, it was confirmed that the facility failed to provide health services and have systems in place to respond to the 24-hour care needs of residents, including having written policies and procedures on medical emergency response for all shifts. Findings include:

Review of Resident #1s progress notes for July 2022, POLST, and staff schedule for July 16th, 2022. CS requested the facility 's policy and procedures for medical emergency response for all shifts and the facility was unable to provide documentation. During onsite visit on 08/02/22, the facility did not have any written policy and procedures readily available for staff to access.

Interviews on 08/02/22, Staff #1-2 stated they were unaware of any written policy and procedures for medical emergency response. They advise staff to notify the administrator, the nurse, and the house manager if there is an emergency for further direction. The POLST are kept in the office, which is locked after 5pm. Staff are unable to access medical records and access to the printer during this time. If they need to print off any current MARS for Emergency Medical Services, they would not be able to do this.
