The findings of the second revisit to the re-licensure survey of 10/13/22, conducted 11/08/23 are documented in this report.  It was determined the facility was in substantial compliance with the OARs 411 Division 54 for Residential Care and Assisted Living Facilities, OARs 411 Division 57 for Memory Care Communities and Home and Community Based Services Regulations OARs 411 Division 004.

Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the licensee failed to provide effective oversight to ensure the quality of care and services that were rendered in the facility. Findings include, but are not limited to:

During the re-licensure survey, conducted 10/10/22 through 10/13/22, oversight to ensure adequate resident care and services rendered in the facility was found to be ineffective based on the number and severity of citations.

Refer to deficiencies in the report.

Refer to defiencies addressed in this POC.  

Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure infection control measures were consistently implemented related to incontinent care and that reasonable precautions were taken for resident safety related to potential elopement risk. Findings include, but are not limited to:

1. On 10/10/22 at 3:16 pm, the surveyor observed two caregivers provide incontinent care to Resident 3. During the process, Staff 13 (CG) removed the resident's soiled incontinent brief, which had both feces and urine, and threw it over the resident's wheelchair towards the garbage can approximately four feet away. The brief was turned inside out after removal and landed soiled side down on the floor. Staff 9 (CG) picked up the brief and placed it in the garbage a few minutes later.

Staff 9 failed to change gloves after picking up the soiled incontinent brief and wiping the resident's bottom and perineal area. Staff 9 touched the resident's new brief, clothing and wheelchair while wearing the same gloves used to provide incontinent care.

The surveyor asked Staff 9 to stop and change her gloves before continuing to assist the resident to the dining room. Staff 9 and 13 both indicated they were unaware of the need to change gloves after providing incontinent care and completing other tasks with a resident. In an additional interview conducted at 3:55 pm, Staff 13 indicated the floor was cleaned and the garbage emptied. Observation of the restroom used showed all incontinent items were removed.

The need to ensure staff consistently used proper infection control and universal precautions when incontinent care was provided was discussed with Staff 1 (Interim Administrator) and Staff 2 (MC Program Director) on 10/12/22. They acknowledged appropriate infection control practices were not being followed.

2. Observations of the windows in resident apartments of the memory care on 10/10/22, showed nine rooms with windows that opened fully to unsecured outdoor areas. A few of the apartments had wood dowels sitting in the window track, while others had nothing in the window at all. The dowels were easily picked up and moved to allow windows to open fully. An additional apartment had two sets of windows. One window opened fully and the second window had a metal bracket screwed into the window track.

In an interview on 10/10/22, Staff 7 (Maintenance Director) was shown the unsecured windows and the metal bracket. Staff 7 indicated he utilized the dowels to keep the windows from opening fully from the outside. He understood the dowels did not prevent residents from opening the windows fully. Staff 7 indicated he would purchase thumb screws to secure the windows.

Additional observations of the windows showed thumb screws in place which would prevent resident's from easily removing and fully opening windows. However, the thumb screws would allow staff to remove quickly in case of emergency. All windows were secured with the thumb screws approximately one hour after Staff 7 was shown the issue.

The need to ensure windows in the memory care did not fully open to unsecured areas and create potential elopement risks was discussed with Staff 1 (Interim Administrator) and Staff 2 (MCC Program Director) on 10/11/22 and 10/12/22. They acknowledged the findings.

1. Direct care staff training on handling soiled briefs, incontinent care and infection control including proper use of gloves on November 9, 2022. All windows in memory care have been secured with a screw lock closure.

2. All staff will be trained during pre service on proper handling of soiled linens and other materials. All direct care staff will be evaluated for competency. Staff will be periodically observed for continued competency. Weekly walkthrough to ensure windows are properly secured.

3. Weekly

4. Memory Care Director, Maintenence Director and Administrator.

Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure reasonable precautions were taken for resident safety related to potential elopement risks. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to:

Observations of windows in resident apartments of the memory care on 08/14/23, showed nine rooms with windows that opened fully to unsecured outdoor areas. Seven of the nine rooms were observed with window frame thumb screws either not attached, substantially loose, or the screw of the mechanism was missing. This allowed the seven windows to be fully opened to the unsecured outdoor areas of the building.

In an interview on 08/14/23, Staff 24 (Memory Care RCC) was shown the unsecured windows and the thumb screw mechanisms. She acknowledged the thumb screws failed to prevent residents from opening the windows fully, creating a potential elopement risk.

On 08/14/23, the need to ensure windows in the memory care did not fully open to unsecured areas and create potential elopement risks was discussed with Staff 23 (Executive Director) and Staff 24. They acknowledged the findings and reattached and tightened the locking mechanisms the same day.

1. Administator and Memory Care Coordinator secured all windows with screw locks and tightened the window stoppers so that these could not be removed. This was corrected while surveyors were on site.

2. Med tech training to be completed on August 31, 2023 to educate staff on importance of having the windows secured. A task sheet has been put into place for each shift to sign off that windows have been checked, and window stoppers are in place.

3. Task sheets are reviewed daily by Memory Care Resident Care Coordinator. There will also be a weekly walk-through by Administrator and concerns reported immediately to maintenance director.

4. Memory Care Resident Care Coordinator, Administator and Maintenance Director.

Resident 3 experienced severe weight loss. Findings include, but are not limited to:

Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in October 2015 with diagnoses including dementia.

The resident was previously admitted to hospice on 05/26/22 related to weakness and advancing dementia. No weights prior to July 2022 could be located.

Weight records, dated 07/02/22 through 10/04/22 and progress notes dated 07/02/22 through 10/09/22, indicated the resident experienced a 7.4 pound weight loss from July 2022 to August 2022. This constituted a 5.22% severe weight loss in one month. The resident continued to experience weight loss through 10/04/22. The resident experienced an 11.4 pound weight loss from 07/02/22 to 10/04/22, which constituted an 8.05% in three months. A current weight of 131.2 was obtained immediately after lunch on 10/13/22, the resident's previous weight was 130.2.

Progress notes and physician communications dated 07/02/22 through 10/10/22 indicated the resident had increased weakness and difficulty assisting with transfers. The resident's intake varied and s/he received a mechanically soft diet. The resident required full assistance from staff for his/her ADLs but could feed himself/herself once meal items were delivered. The resident had multiple medication changes, bruising to multiple locations on his/her body and toe swelling.

Multiple observations of the resident between 10/10/22 and 10/13/22 showed the resident was independent with his/her meal once it was delivered. The resident ate in the dining room, received cut up foods and 2-3 cups of fluid, usually a juice, coffee and/or water. The resident ate 50-100% of the meals observed and also accepted snacks/drinks when offered during activities or snack/hydration pass. The resident did require intermittent cueing to continue with his/her meal and fluids. The resident's portion sizes at each meal varied widely from very small portions of approximately ¼ cup to larger portions closer to 1 cup. The resident was not offered additional helpings of any of the meal items. The resident spent 30-60 minutes at the table eating which varied by the time of day.

In interviews on 10/10/22, Staff 10 and 17 (CGs) indicated the resident's intake was fair to good. The staff indicated the resident needed a lot of time to get through the meal and ate very slowly. The resident required reminders to continue to eat and drink but could do on his/her own.
