OAR 411-054-0034 (1-6) Resident Move-in and Eval: Res Evaluation (1) INITIAL SCREENING AND MOVE-IN. (a) The facility must determine whether a potential resident meets the facility's admission requirements. (b) Before the resident moving in, the facility must conduct an initial screening to determine the prospective resident's service needs and preferences. The screening must determine the ability of the facility to meet the potential resident's needs and preferences while considering the needs of the other residents and the facility's overall service capability. (c) Each resident record must include the following information: (A) Prior living arrangements; (B) Emergency contacts; (C) Service plan involvement - resident, family, and social supports; (D) Financial and other legal relationships, if applicable, including, but not limited to:(i) Advance directives;(ii) Guardianship;(iii) Conservatorship; and(iv) Power of Attorney. (E) Primary language; (F) Community connections; and (G) Health and social service providers. (2) RESIDENT EVALUATION - GENERAL. The resident evaluation identifies the resident's preferences, strengths, and relationships, as well as activities that are meaningful to the individual. The evaluation describes the resident's physical health status, mental status, and the environmental factors that help the individual function at their optimal level. The evaluation is the foundation that a facility uses to develop the resident's service plan. The evaluation information may be collected using tools and protocols established by the facility, but must contain the elements stated in this rule.(a) Resident evaluations must be:(A) Performed before the resident moves into the facility, with updates and changes as appropriate within the first 30 days; and(B) Performed at least quarterly, to correspond with the quarterly service plan updates.(C) Reviewed and any updates must be documented each time a resident has a significant change in condition.(D) Done in person and the facility must gather data that is relevant to the needs and current condition of the resident.(E) Documented, dated, and indicate who was involved in the evaluation process.(b) 24 months of past evaluations must be kept in the resident's files in an accessible, on-site location.(c) The facility administrator is responsible for assuring only trained and experienced staff perform resident evaluations.(3) EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS AT MOVE-IN.(a) The resident evaluation must be completed before the resident moves into the facility. This evaluation provides baseline information of the resident's physical and mental condition at move-in.(b) If there is an urgent need and the evaluation is not completed before move-in, the facility must document the reasons and complete the evaluation within eight hours of move-in.(c) The initial evaluation must contain the elements specified in section (5) of this rule, and address sufficient information to develop an initial service plan to meet the resident's needs.(d) The initial evaluation must be updated and modified as needed during the 30 days following the resident's move into the facility.(e) After the initial 30 day move-in period, the initial evaluation must be retained in the resident's file for 24 months. Future evaluations must be separate and distinct from the initial evaluation.(4) QUARTERLY EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS.(a) Resident evaluations must be performed quarterly after the resident moves into the facility.(b) The quarterly evaluation is the basis of the resident's quarterly service plan.(c) The most recent quarterly evaluation, with documented change of condition updates, must be in the resident's current record and available to staff.(d) If the evaluation is revised and updated at the quarterly review, changes must be dated and initialed and prior historical information must be maintained.(5) The resident evaluation must address the following elements:(a) Resident routines and preferences including:(A) Customary routines, such as those related to sleeping, eating, and bathing;(B) Interests, hobbies, and social and leisure activities;(C) Spiritual and cultural preferences and traditions; and(D) Additional elements as listed in 411-054-0027(2).(b) Physical health status including:(A) List of current diagnoses;(B) List of medications and PRN use;(C) Visits to health practitioners, emergency room, hospital, or nursing facility in the past year; and(D) Vital signs if indicated by diagnoses, health problems, or medications.(c) Mental health issues including:(A) Presence of depression, thought disorders, or behavioral or mood problems;(B) History of treatment; and(C) Effective non drug interventions.(d) Cognition, including:(A) Memory;(B) Orientation;(C) Confusion; and(D) Decision-making abilities.(e) Personality, including how the person copes with change or challenging situations.(f) Communication and sensory abilities including:(A) Hearing;(B) Vision;(C) Speech;(D) Use of assistive devices; and(E) Ability to understand and be understood.(g) Activities of daily living including:(A) Toileting, bowel, and bladder management;(B) Dressing, grooming, bathing, and personal hygiene;(C) Mobility ambulation, transfers, and assistive devices; and(D) Eating, dental status, and assistive devices.(h) Independent activities of daily living including:(A) Ability to manage medications;(B) Ability to use call system;(C) Housework and laundry; and(D) Transportation.(i) Pain pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions, including how a person expresses pain or discomfort.(j) Skin condition.(k) Nutrition habits, fluid preferences, and weight if indicated.(l) List of treatments type, frequency, and level of assistance needed.(m) Indicators of nursing needs, including potential for delegated nursing tasks.(n) Review of risk indicators including:(A) Fall risk or history;(B) Emergency evacuation ability;(C) Complex medication regimen;(D) History of dehydration or unexplained weight loss or gain;(E) Recent losses;(F) Unsuccessful prior placements;(G) Elopement risk or history;(H) Smoking.

(6) If the information has not changed from the previous evaluation period, the information does not need to be repeated. A dated and initialed notation of no changes is sufficient. The prior evaluation must then be kept in the current resident record for reference. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure resident move-in evaluations addressed all required elements and quarterly evaluations were the foundation used to develop residents' quarterly service plan, including documentation relevant to the residents' needs and current condition for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 4) whose evaluations were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 07/2022 with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic pancreatitis, and chronic respiratory failure. The resident’s record was reviewed, and interviews were conducted. The following was identified: Resident 4’s most recent evaluation used to develop his/her service plan was dated 04/21/24. The resident was discharged from the emergency department and hospital on multiple occasions between 07/12/24 and 09/21/24 with new diagnoses including: * Allergic reaction to cortisone injection; * Osteoarthritis and arthropathy; * Knee effusion; * Knee pain and ambulatory disfunction; * Left flank pain; * Chest pain and hyperglycemia; * Gastrointestinal illness; and * Hematuria and constipation. The facility lacked documented evidence the resident was evaluated relevant to his/her needs and current conditions after returning to the facility. On 09/26/24 at 10:56 am, Staff 27 (Area Director of Nursing) confirmed the last evaluation completed for Resident 4 was dated 04/21/24. The need to ensure evaluations were completed and was the foundation used to develop residents' service plans, including documentation relevant to the residents' needs and current condition was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 27 on 09/27/24 at 11:23 am. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 08/2024 with diagnoses including pneumonia due to Coronavirus and type 2 diabetes. Review of the initial evaluation dated 08/04/24 revealed the following elements were missing: *Personality: including how the person copes with change or challenging situations; and *Environmental factors that impact the resident's behavior including, but not limited to: noise, lighting and room temperature. The need to ensure the initial evaluation included all of the required elements was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 27 (Area Director of Nursing) on 09/27/24 at 10:05 am. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1) Resident 1 and 4 will have an evaluation completed with any changes and all elements included. The evaluation tool was audited and updated to include all elements. 2) Resident care coordinators, nursing, and administrator have a system where the evaluation is completed first and audited to ensure all elements are included. This system will be for new admissions, within 30 days of move-in, quarterly and with any significant change in condition. A move-in checklist will be utilized for any new residents. 3) At move in, 30-days, quarterly, and with significant change of condition. 4) Executive Director

(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 evaluate changes of condition, refer to the facility nurse when the change of condition was significant, determine and document actions or interventions, communicate the actions or interventions to staff on each shift, and monitor each resident consistent with his or her evaluated needs until resolution, for 3 of 6 sampled residents (#s 3, 4, and 6) who experienced changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 6 was admitted to the facility in 10/2023 with diagnoses including unspecified diastolic (congestive) heart failure and had a history of reoccurring urinary tract infections (UTIs). The resident’s progress notes, dated 06/23/24 through 09/19/24, and interim service plans (ISPs) dated 06/11/24 through 09/23/24, were reviewed and staff were interviewed. The following changes of conditions were identified: On 07/29/24 Resident 6 returned from hospital with diagnoses of sepsis with a UTI, encephalopathy, and chronic pain. In an ISP dated 07/29/24, staff were directed to monitor for any side effects of the antibiotic the resident was taking, cognition changes, blood in urine, and pain with urinating. Staff were also directed to offer fluids, check on the resident three times per shift, and provide good personal hygiene after toileting assistance. Staff were directed to monitor and provide the above listed interventions for 72 hours. On 08/17/24, the resident reported having "respiratory issues" and stated, "I just don't feel well." An ISP dated 08/17/24 directed staff to collect a urine analysis (UA) on 08/18/24 during the evening or on the morning of 08/19/24. On 08/21/24, the facility received confirmation the resident had a UTI and contacted the pharmacy for an antibiotic. Later that day, staff called 911 and Resident 6 was taken back to the hospital. When the resident returned to the facility on 08/22/24, an ISP was implemented with the same directions to staff as what was on the previous ISP dated 07/29/24. This was also in place for72 hours. On 09/02/24, staff documented in a progress note that the resident was showing signs and symptoms of another UTI. On 09/07/24, an ISP was created with the same instructions for staff as the two previous ISPs, with the same time frame of 72 hours. In an interview with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 3 (RCC) on 09/25/24 at 1:21 pm, they confirmed that Resident 6’s urine had not been analyzed after each course of antibiotics were finished to ensure the UTIs were resolved. The need to monitor each resident consistent with his or her evaluated needs until resolution was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 3 on 09/25/24 at 1:21 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 10/2022 with diagnoses including, type 2 diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. During the acuity interview on 09/23/24, the resident was identified for weight loss. The resident's current service plan, dated 07/09/24, progress notes dated 06/23/24 through 09/19/24, and interim service plans (ISPs) were reviewed. Staff were interviewed and observations of the resident were made. Staff documented the following in the resident's progress notes: * 07/09/24 - "Resident has recently had 5% weight loss.” Staff continued to document, “I have notified [his/her] PCP and placed [him/her] on alert charting with an ISP to review preferences and encourage snacks and for dietary to offer increased calories, extra sauces and gravies and whole fat dairy foods.” An interview with Staff 11 (Executive Chef) on 09/24/24 at 1:20 pm revealed the interventions in place for Resident 3’s weight loss had not been communicated to dining services. Staff 11 stated their system was to receive a “diet modification” form informing them of any dietary interventions needed and she confirmed one had not been received regarding Resident 3. There was no documented evidence the facility communicated the determined action or intervention to dietary staff. On 09/27/24 at 10:05 am, the need to ensure the facility communicated the determined action or intervention to staff on each shift was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 27 (Area Director of Nursing). They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 07/2022 with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic pancreatitis, and chronic respiratory failure. The resident's current service plan, dated 06/17/24, interim service plans, dated 06/13/24 through 09/21/24, progress notes dated 06/24/24 through 09/23/24, and after visit summaries were viewed, observations were made, and interviews were conducted. The following was identified: There was no documented evidence resident-specific actions or interventions were determined for short-term changes of condition, the actions or interventions were communicated on all shifts, and/or changes were monitored through resolution, with progress noted at least weekly, for the following: * 06/13/24: New medication – cephalexin (for infection); * 06/18/24: Discontinued medication – oxycodone (for pain); * 07/12/24: Allergic reaction to cortisone injection; * 07/15/24: New diagnosis’ of osteoarthritis and arthropathy; * 07/15/24: New medication – tramadol 50mg (for pain); * 07/19/24: New medication – hydrocodone 5-325mg (for pain); * 07/19/24: New diagnosis’ of knee effusion; * 07/19/24: New diagnosis’ of knee pain and ambulatory dysfunction; * 07/20/24: New diagnosis’ of acute knee pain; * 07/28/24: New diagnosis’ of flank pain; * 07/31/24: Fall off motorized wheelchair resulting in skin tears; * 08/19/24: Resident reported hypoglycemic episode at grocery store; * 08/27/24: New diagnosis of chest pain and hyperglycemia; * 08/28/24: New medication – Jardiance (for lowering blood sugar); * 09/06/24: Insulin change; * 09/07/24: New skin tear; * 09/09/24: Gastrointestinal illness; * 09/18/24: Insulin change; * 09/19/24: Vaginal bleeding; and * 09/21/24: New diagnosis’ of hematuria and constipation. On 09/25/24 at 1:06 pm, each identified change of condition was reviewed with Staff 27 (Area Director of Nursing). She acknowledged each change of condition and no additional information was provided. The need to ensure actions or interventions for short-term changes of condition were documented and communicated to staff on each shift, and the changes of condition were monitored weekly through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 27 on 09/27/24 at 11:23 am.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an accurate system for tracking controlled substances, for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 4 and 5) who were prescribed PRN narcotic pain medications. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 02/2022, with diagnoses including hyperlipidemia and chronic pain. Resident 5 was prescribed PRN oxycodone 5mg to treat severe pain. The Controlled Substance Disposition Record was reviewed, along with the resident's MAR, dated 08/01/24 through 09/23/23. The following discrepancies related to administration of controlled substances were identified: The Disposition Record indicated a dose of two oxycodone 5mg tablets was removed from locked storage and administered on 09/17/24. However, there was no documentation on Resident 5’s MAR that the medication was administered. On 09/27/24 at 10:15 am, the need to maintain an accurate system for tracking controlled substances was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 27 (Area Director of Nursing). They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 07/2022 with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic pancreatitis, and chronic respiratory failure.

An accurate Medication Administration Record (MAR) must be kept of all medications, including over-the-counter medications that are ordered by a legally recognized prescriber and are administered by the facility.(a) Documentation of the MAR must be completed using one of the following processes. An alternative process may be used only with a written exception from the Department.(A) The MAR may be signed as the medications are set-up or poured. Medications must not be set-up in advance for more than one administration time. If a medicine cup or other individual container is used to set-up the medications, it must be placed in a closed compartment labeled with the resident's name. Changes to the MAR that occur after the medication is delivered, must be documented by the same staff person who administered the medication.(B) The facility may choose to sign the MAR after the medication is administered to a specific resident and prior to the next resident-specific medication or treatment.(b) MEDICATION RECORD. At minimum, the medication record for each resident that the facility administers medications to, must include:(A) Current month, day and year.(B) Name of medications, reason for use, dosage, route and date and time given.(C) Any medication specific instructions, if applicable (e.g., significant side effects, time sensitive dosage, when to call the prescriber or nurse).(D) Resident allergies and sensitivities, if any.(E) Resident specific parameters and instructions for p.r.n. medications.(F) Initials of the person administering the medication. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an accurate MAR was kept for all medications that were ordered by a legally recognized prescriber and administered by the facility, for 6 of 6 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) whose MARs were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 02/2022 with diagnoses including hyperlipidemia and chronic pain. Review of the resident’s MARs, dated 08/01/24 through 09/23/24, identified the following inaccuracies: * Resident 5 was prescribed two different PRN medications for pain. These were oxycodone 5 mg and tizanidine 2 mg. The MAR lacked instructions regarding the sequential order of use for these medications; and * The instructions for use of PRN oxycodone were “take 1-2 tablets (5-10 mg) by mouth every 4 hours as needed for severe pain.” These instructions did not provide adequate direction for unlicensed staff to determine appropriate dosage for this medication. On 09/27/24, the need to ensure MARs were accurate and provided adequate instructions for unlicensed staff was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 27 (Area Director of Nursing). They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 6 was admitted to the facility in 10/2023 with diagnoses including unspecified diastolic (congestive) heart failure. The resident's 08/01/24 through 09/23/24 MARs and Administration Notes for the same dates were reviewed, and staff were interviewed. The following inaccuracies were identified: * The MARs lacked direction to unlicensed staff relating to what to report and who to report to when obtaining daily weights; and * The key that MTs were documenting in the MARs, “9 = Other/See Progress Notes,” lacked specific information of why an order was not carried out as prescribed. Examples of the documentation were, “unable this shift,” “unable,” “unable to obtain,” “did not get,” or there was no documentation in the Administration Note. This pertained to weights, vital signs, and scheduled acetaminophen (for pain). The need to ensure MARs were accurate and included resident-specific instructions was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 3 (RCC) on 09/25/24 at 1:21 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 08/2024 with diagnoses including pneumonia due to Coronavirus and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The resident’s MARs, dated 08/01/24 through 09/23/24, were reviewed and the following was noted: Resident 1 was prescribed bisacodyl, Milk of Magnesia, polyethylene glycol, Senna, and sodium phosphate enema for constipation. The MAR lacked instructions for staff as to order of use for these medications. On 09/26/24 at 12:52 pm, Staff 15 (MT) confirmed there were no directions to unlicensed staff instructing them on the order of administration of the PRN medications. The need to ensure accurate documentation of the MAR and to provide clear parameters when a resident was prescribed more than one PRN medication for the same condition was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 27 (Area Director of Nursing) on 09/27/24 at 10:05 am. The findings were acknowledged. 4. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 10/2022 with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. The resident’s MARs, dated 08/01/24 through 09/23/24, were reviewed, and multiple medications lacked a reason for use. On 09/26/24 at 12:52 pm, the surveyor and Staff 15 (MT) reviewed the electronic MAR and confirmed no additional information was included on the electronic MAR versus the printed MAR. The need to ensure the facility maintained accurate MARs was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 27 (Area Director of Nursing) on 09/27/24 at 10:05 am. The findings were acknowledged. 5. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 10/2022 with diagnoses including hypertension, heart disease, and osteoarthritis. The resident's 08/01/24 through 09/23/24 MARs, Administration Notes for the same dates, and progress notes, dated 06/24/24 through 09/23/24, were reviewed. Staff were interviewed, and the following inaccuracies were identified: a. Resident 2 had an order for scheduled acetaminophen (for pain). For the 6:00 am dose on both 08/13/24 and 08/22/24, staff documented either “5 = Hold/See Progress Notes” or “9 = Other/See Progress Notes.” There were no corresponding notes for the above dates or times. b. On 08/22/24, staff documented “21 = Withheld per PCP/LN orders” for the following medications: * Amlodipine (for hypertension); * Aspirin (for heart disease); * Oxycodone (for pain); * Gabapentin (for osteoarthritis); * Omeprazole (for gastro-esophageal reflux); and * Tramadol (for left shoulder pain). There was no documented evidence of communication with the resident’s physician or nurse relating to why the medications needed to be held. There was also no information on the signed orders relating to when staff should hold the above medications. c. Resident 2 had two PRN medications for pain, acetaminophen and Oxycodone. On 09/26/24 at 2:58 pm, Staff 18 (MT) confirmed there were no directions to unlicensed staff instructing them on the order in which to administer the PRN medications. The need to ensure MARs were accurate and included resident-specific instructions was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 27 (Area Director of Nursing) on 09/27/24 at 12:17 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 6. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 07/2022 with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic pancreatitis, and chronic respiratory failure. The resident's 08/01/24 to 09/23/24 MARs and physician orders dated 08/07/24 were reviewed, and the following was identified: a. Resident 4’s MARs noted the resident could self-administer the following medications: * Lidocaine 5% patch (for chronic pain); * Tretinoin 0.025% cream (for acne); * Albuterol hfa 90mcg inhale (for COPD); * Guaifenesin 400mg tablet (for cough/congestion); and * Nystatin 100,000u/g powder (for skin care/rash). The resident’s MAR also noted that staff, “Must witness all medication administrations. Medications are not to be in the resident’s room. Resident is not safe to self-administer medications.” b. The MAR lacked parameters for the following prn pain medications: * Hydrocodone 5-325mg: one to two tabs every four hours as needed for pain; * Hydrocodone 5-325mg: one tab by mouth every eight hours as needed for pain; * Tramadol 50mg: one tab by mouth every eight hours as needed for pain; and * Acetaminophen 325mg: two tablets by mouth every four hours as needed for mild pain. On 09/26/24 at 9:52 pm, Staff 17 (MT) confirmed the MARs did not identify in what order to administer prn pain medication. The need to ensure an accurate medication administration record was kept for all medications, including over-the-counter medications, administered by the facility was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 27 (Area Director of Nursing) on 09/27/24 at 11:23 am.

OAR 411-054-0037 (1a)(2-3) Acuity Based Staffing Tool - Elements (1) DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN ACUITY-BASED STAFFING. Facilities must select and implement an acuity-based staffing tool (ABST) that is technology-based for determining appropriate staffing levels. Individual resident needs and care elements must be the primary consideration when developing and maintaining an ABST. Regardless of the ABST adopted, all requirements set forth in this rule and OAR 411-054-0034 (Resident Move in Evaluation) must be met. Facilities shall: (a) Select and implement the Department’s developed ABST or submit a proprietary ABST to the Department for approval as outlined in paragraph (2) of this rule. (2) PROPRIETARY ABST. A facility that chooses to use a proprietary ABST must implement a Department-approved ABST that meets this rule. (a) REQUIRED ELEMENTS.

If the proprietary review request is approved, a facility must develop and maintain an ABST Summary Statement. The summary statement must be available upon request by the Department. An ABST summary statement must contain a general guide of how the ABST functions, as outlined on the PDRR form. (d) DEPARTMENT REVIEW OF PROPOSED PROPRIETARY ABST REQUEST. The Department will review and either approve or deny the facility’s proprietary ABST. The Department may request additional documentation, potentially including a virtual demonstration, to make the determination. If the ABST is deemed to not meet this rule, the Department may deny or rescind approval at any time. (e) APPEALS PROCESS. The Department will determine whether to approve or deny the request. If the proprietary ABST is denied or rescinded, the facility is entitled to a contested case hearing pursuant to ORS chapter 183. Prior to a contested case hearing, the facility may request an informal conference. (f) ANNUAL STATEMENT. Once approved, the facility must provide the Department an annual statement attesting no substantive changes have occurred to the design of the facility’s proprietary ABST that impacts its functionality. The facility must submit statements to the Department every year, between January 1 and March 31. (g) If the facility makes substantive changes to the design of its proprietary ABST that impacts the ABST’s functionality and if such changes would make the information submitted in support of its approval inaccurate or invalid, the facility must re-submit the ABST PDRR Form as described in this rule to the Department for review prior to implementing the new or revised ABST. (3) ABST CARE ELEMENTS. The required ABST care elements include activities of daily living and other tasks related to resident care and services, as outlined in OAR 411-054-0030, 411-054-0034, and 411-057- 0160.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to maintain an updated staffing plan, complete an Acuity-Based Staffing Tool (ABST) assessment for each resident, review each resident’s ABST assessment no less than quarterly, and ensure each ABST assessment accurately reflected the number of weekly minutes required to meet the needs of residents. Findings include, but are not limited to: The facility was unable to maintain an updated staffing plan because of the following issues with the facility’s ABST: a. The facility used the Department-developed ABST. The data contained in the tool was reviewed on 09/23/24 and it was determined seven unsampled residents had not been assessed and the time required to address their ADLs and other care tasks had not been entered into the facility ABST. In an interview on 09/24/24 at 11:15 am, Staff 1 (ED) acknowledged not all residents’ care needs had been assessed and entered into the ABST. b. The data in the ABST was reviewed and it was determined nine residents’ ABST assessments had not been documented as having been reviewed at least quarterly. Four residents’ assessments had been last reviewed in 05/2024 or 06/2024 and the other five residents’ assessments had been last reviewed in 12/2023. c. Multiple unsampled residents expressed concerns in the group interview on 09/24/24 and individually to the survey team that there was often a long wait for staff to respond when they pushed their call button for assistance. The facility provided the survey team with the call light response report (“Tek-Care Report”) from 09/11/24 through 09/25/24. Seven residents were noted to have used their call button more than 100 times during this period. Review of each of the seven residents’ individual ABST assessments indicated the number of times staff responded to call lights each week that the facility entered into the ABST was lower that the number of times the call light response report documented the resident actually used their call button. d. Six sampled residents’ ABST assessments were reviewed. The assessments for 4 of 6 of the sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 4, and 6) were not accurate as to the time or frequency required to complete the following individual care elements: * Transfers; * Providing treatments; * Ensuring non-drug interventions for behaviors; * Monitoring physical conditions or symptoms. * Safety checks/fall prevention; and * Completing resident-specific housekeeping services. Deficiencies related to the facility’s application of the ABST was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 27 (Area Director of Nursing) on 09/27/24. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1)Residents from survey sample ABST has been updated with accurate accounting and been compared to careplan. 2)ABST will be implemented prior to move in, updated at every care conference and at any change of conditions. 3)At move in, quarterly, and for any condition changes 4)Executive Director
