OAR 411-054-0025 (4) Reasonable Precautions (4) Reasonable precautions must be exercised against any condition that could threaten the health, safety, or welfare of residents. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure reasonable precautions were implemented to ensure a resident received sufficient assistance with bed mobility, during incontinent care, to maintain their health and safety for 1 of 1 sampled resident who was dependent for care (#3). Resident 3 expressed distress and anxiety during care related to how staff were moving the resident in bed. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2014 with diagnoses including dementia. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's 11/15/24 service plan, 09/17/24 through 11/26/24 observation notes, physician communications, and incident investigations were completed. The resident was noted to be dependent with all ADLs. The resident required two staff assistance for transfers and dressing and a Hoyer lift for transfers. The resident was nonverbal. The resident’s muscles and limbs were very tight to move, straighten and bend fully. The resident was noted to have anxiety and behaviors with ADL cares due to his/her confusion. Staff were instructed to tell the resident step by step what was occurring during care to help alleviate any distress. Observations of ADL care including incontinent care, bed mobility, Hoyer transfer and dressing were completed between 12/17/24 and 12/19/24 and showed the following: Afternoon incontinence care on 12/17/24: * The resident was assisted by two staff and a Hoyer from his/her wheelchair into his/her bed. * The resident required incontinence care and a clothing change during the observation. * The resident was turned side to side to remove and replace his/her brief, provide cleaning and change the resident’s pants. * The resident was positioned too close to the outer edge of the mattress during multiple rolls side to side. * On two occasions Staff 18 (CG) put a hand on the side of the resident’s head and used his/her head as leverage to help turn the resident, while the other hand was at the resident’s hip. Staff 18 was told by Staff 9 (CG) and by the surveyor not to use the resident’s head to help turn him/her. * When rolled to the right, the resident’s entire upper body and arms were observed hanging off the bed. Staff were standing on the right side of the bed near the resident’s waist. The resident’s torso was dangling off the bed when staff were asked by the surveyor, to adjust the resident. * When the resident was rolled to the right while lying on the very outer edge of the bed, s/he began to yell out, grab at staff and/or flail his/her arms. * The resident was not placed in the center of the bed, or his/her placement readjusted prior to providing care or rolling. Start of day dressing, incontinence care and mid-morning incontinence care on 12/18/24: * The resident was dressed for the day and his/her brief changed as part of his/her morning routine. * The resident’s position in bed was not checked or adjusted prior to rolling the resident for clothing and brief changes. * The resident was rolled to the left side with his/her head landing extremely close to the wall. The resident’s head did not contact the wall. The resident was making noises, yelling and moaning during care. The resident was not told what was occurring before it happened. * The resident was rolled to the right side but was extremely close to the edge. The resident showed signs of distress when turned to the right, was unstable and grabbing at staff clothing and bodies. The resident was heard moaning, yelling, and observed flailing his/her arms. * The resident was rolled so far to the right s/he was partially on his/her stomach. The resident’s face was pressed closely to the staff’s pants/leg and his/her yelling/crying out was muffled. * Staff 12 and 18 (CGs) were again asked by the surveyor to readjust the resident’s position to keep him/her away from the edge when rolling and to ensure the resident’s face was not up against the bedding or staff clothing/legs. * The side of the resident’s head was used to assist in a roll as previously observed on 12/17/24. Additionally, the back of the resident’s head/upper neck was used to help lift the resident up to adjust his/her shirt placement. * Staff 18 (CG) was told by the surveyor not to use the side of the resident’s head or the back of his/her neck for any position adjustments as it could cause injury. * Neither of the two staff taking care of the resident provided him/her information on what was occurring with care or spoke to the resident to try and soothe him/her when showing signs of distress and being upset during most of the care. * While agitated and calling out, the resident was grabbing at staff, his/her brief and putting hands near peri area. Staff 12 (CG) was observed to pull the residents sweatshirt up over the resident’s now crossed arms and place her own hand on top of the sweatshirt over the resident’s arms. The resident pulled his/her arms free, and staff did not attempt a similar move during the remainder of care. In an interview on 12/18/24, Staff 12 and Staff 18 indicated they understood the resident should be positioned away from the edge of the bed before rolling. In an interview on 12/18/24, Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 5 (RCC) were provided with information on the observations of care for Resident 3. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated the care staff should not be talking over the resident and should be telling the resident what was going on during care to help with distress. Staff 1 and Staff 5 acknowledged that the resident should not be rolled so closely to the edge of the bed, or any attempt made to restrain arms or hands with clothing. Staff 1 indicated additional training was required. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated they would be reviewing proper care of the resident with the staff observed as well as the staff normally assigned to the house. In an additional interview on 12/19/24, Staff 1 indicated they reviewed transfers and resident care at the staff meeting on 12/18/24 as well as working on individual trainings. An additional observation of morning care was completed on 12/19/24 with improvement in some areas of the transfer and provision of care. A draw sheet was utilized, and the resident was adjusted in bed prior to rolling side to side. The need to ensure staff took reasonable precautions to provide appropriate care to ensure the safety and well-being of a dependent resident, during ADL care, was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health Services Director/LPN) and Staff 5 (RCC) on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24. The staff acknowledged the findings. Refer to C 200.

OAR 411-054-0025 (4) Reasonable Precautions (4) Reasonable precautions must be exercised against any condition that could threaten the health, safety, or welfare of residents. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure reasonable precautions were exercised against any condition that could threaten the health, safety, or welfare of residents, including ensuring resident call pendants alerted staff when residents used them to call for assistance, and to establish and implement an effective policy to ensure resident safety during times of extreme temperatures, including heat. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to: a. The call system in the Ponderosa cottage was reviewed on 08/13/25. An unsampled resident was observed to activate the call system via pull cord in the living space of his/her apartment at 2:32 pm. The wall unit audibly alerted and had a blinking red light. At 2:52 pm, 20 minutes after the call system was activated, no staff had entered the resident’s room to assist the resident. Multiple staff were interviewed at 3:04 pm and stated that when a resident utilized his/her pull cord or pendant, a notification should arrive on the facility phone, which was carried by one or more care staff depending on how many phones are currently working. The staff stated that there was one working phone on 08/13/25, and it was carried by a caregiver. The caregiver reviewed the phone and found there was no indication on the phone that the unsampled resident had pulled the cord at 2:32 pm. Staff stated that this happens frequently, and multiple unsampled residents consistently verbalized difficulty reaching staff to assist with addressing the residents’ ADL needs. In an interview on 08/14/25 at 10:40 am, Witness 8 (Resident’s Spouse) stated that his/her spouse consistently had difficulty reaching staff to assist with ADL care. S/he stated that within the past week, s/he had to physically get up to look for staff members to assist the resident after they utilized the call system and waited over 20 minutes with no response. On 08/14/25, the call system in the Alpine cottage was observed. The call pendant was pulled in room 6 at 10:58 am and was observed to be activated. At 11:18 am, 20 minutes later, staff had not responded. During interviews at 11:20 am, staff stated the system had not notified them that the call system had been activated for room 6. In an interview on 08/14/25 at 12:00 pm, Staff 31 (Administrator) and Staff 30 (Regional Director of Health Services) stated they were aware that the call system was not working, and no solution had been put into place to ensure residents were assisted when they utilized the call system to request help from facility staff. b. Two of the three cottages which made up the facility, Alpine and Beechwood, were endorsed memory care communities (MCCs) and had a secured outdoor courtyard which residents could access. (Keep this info) In an interview on 8/12/25 at 12:00 pm, Staff 30 (Regional Director of Health Services) provided the surveyor with a copy of the facility’s inclement weather policy, which stated “In temperatures above 85 degrees, the [courtyard] doors will be locked.” At 12:15 pm on 08/12/25, signs were observed on all courtyard doors which stated that the courtyard doors would be locked if the temperature was above 85 degrees. Between the hours of 12:30 pm and 1:25 pm on 08/12/25, the temperature in the outdoor courtyards reached between 90 and 93 degrees Fahrenheit. Multiple areas in the courtyards, including walking paths and benches, were not shaded and were exposed directly to the sun. In an interview on 08/12/25 at 2:14 pm, Staff 33 (CG) stated that residents entered and exited the courtyard “on their own”, including Resident 12 who enjoyed being outside and gardening during the summer. At 12:30 pm and 1:25 pm on 08/12/25, the doors to the courtyards were tested and found to be unlocked, with no visible system which would allow the door to be locked. In an interview on 08/12/25 at 1:35 pm, Staff 31 (Administrator) confirmed that there was no way to lock the courtyard doors, as per the facility policy and posted signage. The facility was unable to provide documented evidence of any other system in place to ensure resident safety in the courtyard in times of extreme heat. The need for the facility to ensure reasonable precautions were exercised against any condition that could threaten the health, safety, or welfare of residents, including ensuring resident call pendants alerted staff when residents used them to call for assistance, and to establish and implement an effective policy to ensure resident safety during times of extreme temperatures, including heat, was reviewed with Staff 28 (Director of Health Services/LPN), Staff 30, and Staff 31 on 08/14/25 at 12:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure a resident was treated with dignity and respect and maintained a safe and homelike environment during ADL care for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#3). Resident 3 experienced distress and abrupt handling during ADL care. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2014 with diagnoses including dementia. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's 11/15/24 service plan, 09/17/24 through 11/26/24 observation notes, physician communications, and incident investigations were completed. The resident was noted to be dependent with all ADLs. The resident required two staff assistance for transfers and dressing and a Hoyer lift for transfers. The resident was nonverbal. The resident’s muscles and limbs were very tight to move, straighten and bend fully. The resident was noted to have anxiety and behaviors with ADL cares due to his/her confusion. Staff were instructed to tell the resident step by step what was occurring during care to help alleviate any distress. Observations of ADL care including incontinence care, bed mobility, Hoyer transfer and dressing were completed between 12/17/24 and 12/19/24. a. The resident was dressed/undressed, had a brief change, cleaned and rolled side to side with minimal to no interaction from staff. Additionally, the resident required a Hoyer lift for transfers out of his/her bed and wheelchair. During several observations, the resident was moved with the lift without interaction from staff or verbal reassurance before or during transfers. Multiple instances of bed mobility showed the resident dangling off the bed, rolled over the edge of the bed with marginal support of torso, turned so far to the right that s/he was close to being on his/her stomach and/or the resident pulled so far to the right while at the edge that s/he was pointed towards the floor. The resident would flail around for something to hold onto and yell. One of these observations the resident’s face was so close to Staff 18’s pant leg and thigh that the resident’s yells were muffled, and his/her hands were unable to move due to the position of the resident’s body. The surveyor instructed staff to adjust the resident’s positioning to keep him/her away from the edge of the bed and to keep his/her face away from clothing, staff legs and bedding. b. The resident was abruptly turned and moved around the bed for care. Multiple occasions the side of the resident’s head was used as a contact point to try to move the resident. Staff were advised by the surveyor not to use the side of the resident’s head as a transfer point. c. The resident’s soiled brief was removed, and the resident left uncovered while additional wipes were located for clean-up. d. The resident was aggressively and abruptly cleaned after a bowel movement. The resident was not told what was happening, not advised wipes might be cold and not prepared for the next bit of care. The resident startled and made sounds when the wipes first touched his/her skin. e. The resident showed signs of distress during care. The resident was calling out and hitting out at staff. The resident’s sweatshirt was pulled up over his/her arms and briefly held in place before the resident pulled an arm free. There were no further attempts to restrain the resident. f. The resident was observed during three meals. Staff provided the resident with his/her pureed diet and thickened liquids. The staff provided bites that were larger than indicated by the service plan, had minimal to no interaction with the resident during the meal, rushed fluid intake and were task oriented rather than person oriented. g. The resident showed signs of pain and discomfort during his/her breakfast meal on 12/18/24. Soon after the resident began crying out a strong odor appeared around the resident. The resident ate less than 25% of his/her meal, would not take any additional bites and was wheeled near the living room and parked. The fecal odor around the resident was very strong. The surveyor informed the MT of the odor around the resident and that it began while the resident was having breakfast. Staff did not assist the resident with incontinence care until approximately 60 minutes after the odor first appeared and approximately 30 minutes after the MT was informed. When Staff 12 (CG) and Staff 18 (CG) transferred the resident to bed, it was determined the resident’s pants were soiled and required changing along with his/her brief. The resident’s pants were forcefully removed, and, in the process, fecal matter was flung about the resident’s bed. The resident required numerous turns and wipes to get all areas sufficiently clean. The resident was distressed throughout the process with some flailing of arms, grabbing at staff and vocalization of sounds. The staff continued to talk over the resident in English and Spanish but rarely to the resident himself/herself. In an interview on 12/18/24, Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 5 (RCC) were provided with information on the observations of care for Resident 3. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated the care staff should not be talking over the resident and should be telling the resident what was going on during care to help with distress. Staff 1 and Staff 5 acknowledged that the resident should not be rolled so closely to the edge of the bed, or any attempt made to restrain arms or hands with clothing. Staff 1 indicated additional training was required. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated they would be reviewing proper care of the resident with the staff observed as well as the staff normally assigned to the house. In an additional interview on 12/19/24, Staff 1 indicated they reviewed transfers and resident care at the staff meeting on 12/18/24 as well as working on individual trainings. An additional meal observation and care observation on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24 showed staff were seated in front of the resident and speaking with him/her about the meal. Smaller bites were offered more slowly, and single sips of fluids were offered one at a time. Staff were interacting with the resident more efficiently during ADL care and ensuring the resident was positioned away from the edge of the bed. The resident showed less distress with this observation of ADL care. The need to ensure staff treated residents with dignity and respect and provided a safe and home like environment when providing care was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (Health Services Director/LPN) and Staff 5 on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24. The staff acknowledged the findings. Refer to C160.

OAR 411-054-0028 (1-3) Reporting & Investigating Abuse-Other Action (Amended 12/15/21)(1) The facility must have policies and procedures in place to assure the prevention and appropriate response to any incident. In the case of incidents of abuse, suspected abuse, or injury of unknown cause, policies and procedures must follow the requirements outlined below. In the case of incidents that are not abuse or injuries of unknown cause where abuse has been ruled out, the facility must have policies and procedures in place to respond appropriately, which may include such things as re-assessment, monitoring, or medication review. (2) ABUSE REPORTING. Abuse is prohibited. The facility employees, agents and licensee must not permit, aid, or engage in abuse of residents who are under their care. (a) STAFF REPORTING. All facility employees are required to immediately report abuse and suspected abuse to the local SPD office, or the local AAA, the facility administrator, or to the facility administrator's designee. (b) FACILITY REPORTING. The facility administrator, or designee, must immediately notify the local SPD office, or the local AAA, of any incident of abuse or suspected abuse, including events overheard or witnessed by observation. (c) LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY.

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 interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure actions or interventions were determined, documented, and communicated with staff on all shifts for changes of condition and failed to ensure changes were monitored, with progress noted at least weekly until resolution, and/or referred to the facility nurse for a significant change of condition for 6 of 6 sampled residents (#1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7) who experienced changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2014 with diagnoses including dementia.

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 observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed timely and documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#3) who experienced significant changes of condition. Resident 3 experienced continued severe weight changes without intervention. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2014 with diagnoses including dementia. Review of the resident’s service plan dated 11/15/24, observation notes, physician communications, RN notes and weight records dated 09/17/24 through 11/26/24 were completed. The resident required full assistance from staff for all ADL care. The resident required one staff assistance for all food and fluid intake. The resident received a pureed diet and nectar thick liquids for all snacks and meals. Multiple daily observations of the resident between 11/17/24 and 11/19/24 showed the resident up in his/her wheelchair and reclined back approximately 45 degrees. The resident was dependent for all care. Staff would assist the resident to his/her wheelchair after providing ADL care. The resident was observed during two breakfast meals, two lunch meals and part of a dinner meal. The resident did not initiate any intake on his/her own. Staff provided total assistance with all intakes. The resident received pureed food in a three-compartment plate with raised sides. The staff were observed to offer the resident bites without much interaction. Fluids were alternated with bites of food. The resident took single sips from the cups offered. The resident did not appear able to complete successive sips. The resident ate between 25% and 50% of the meals offered. One meal staff reported the resident ate 100%, the dishes were cleared before an observation was made. The resident was not observed to receive snacks in the morning or afternoon during survey. The resident was brought to breakfast later in the morning, not long before the scheduled snack time, and provided his/her breakfast meal. Weight records reviewed from 07/22/24 through 12/19/24 were reviewed and showed the following: * A weight of 133.2 pounds on 07/22/24 and a weight of 126.2 pounds on 08/19/24. This constituted a seven pound, 5.25% severe weight loss in one month. * A weight of 133 pounds on 09/23/24 and a weight of 123 pounds on 10/21/24. This constituted a 10 pound, 7.5% severe weight loss in one month. * A weight of 123 pounds on 10/21/24 and a weight of 130 pounds on 11/04/24. This constituted a seven pound, 5.69% severe increase in less than two weeks. * The resident’s weight on 11/25/24 was documented as 125.6 pounds. * A current weight was requested from the facility. The resident’s weight on 12/19/24 was observed and documented as 118.2 pounds. This constituted a 7.4 pound, 5.89% severe loss from the last recorded weight. The resident received Boost health shakes which were held and no longer administered on 09/23/24 due to swallowing concerns related to the thin consistency. The resident was noted to be placed on weekly weights prior to June 2024. The weekly weights were discontinued on 11/25/24. In interviews on 12/17/24 and 12/18/24, Staff 9 (CG), Staff 18 (CG) and Staff 22 (CG) indicated the resident required full staff assistance to eat. The resident could not feed himself/herself due to cognition, confusion, and physical limitations. The staff indicated the resident did not generally have very good intake, but it did vary. Staff 22 indicated the resident ate 100% of his/her lunch meal on 12/18/24 but had not eaten well for breakfast. In an interview on 12/19/24, Staff 4 (Regional Director of Health Services) indicated the current RN was not made aware of the resident’s changes in weight. Reports were normally pulled near the beginning of the month for monthly weight review. Staff 4 stated Staff 2 (Health Services Director/LPN) would be responsible for pulling additional reports for the weekly weights, checking weights and reporting any issues or significant changes to the current facility RN. In an interview on 12/19/24, Staff 3 (RN) indicated she was not aware of the significant changes in the resident’s weights over the last few months. The reports she had reviewed looked only at the beginning of the month so other weights during the month were not on her radar. Staff 3 assisted to get a current weight on the resident, restarted weekly weights and would look into nutritional supplements once she was able to get a baseline for the resident’s weight. Staff 3 wanted to observe the weights as they were completed to ensure proper technique and calculations were being completed. The resident was not interviewable due to cognitive impairment and non-verbal status. The facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed for the severe weight changes from July 2024 to November 2024 which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 3, Staff 4 and Staff 5 (RCC) on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24. The staff acknowledged the findings.

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 assessment was completed in a timely manner for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#1) who experienced a significant change of condition. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 09/2019 with diagnoses including dementia. During the acuity interview on 08/12/25, the resident was identified as having a Stage 2 pressure ulcer, which was new for the resident. The resident was identified as requiring a mechanical lift and two-person assistance from care staff for care, transfers, and repositioning. The resident’s service plan, dated 07/30/25, and 07/21/25 through 08/12/25 temporary service plans (TSPs), observation notes, skin tracking, and assessments were reviewed, the resident was observed, and staff were interviewed. On 07/24/25, a MT documented in the resident’s observation notes that an open wound had been identified on the resident’s left coccyx. An incident report completed the same day stated the wound was a pressure injury, and the health services director had evaluated the wound. A skin check form from 07/24/25, completed by Staff 28 (Director of Health Services/LPN), confirmed that there was an open area and noted that the “community RN has been notified of new potential pressure-related injury.” This indicated that the wound was a Stage 2, or open, pressure ulcer, which was a significant change of condition and required assessment by an RN. There was no documented evidence that an RN completed an assessment of the pressure-related injury in a timely manner, with all required components documented including findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. On 08/04/25, 11 days after the pressure ulcer was first identified, a facility RN completed a significant change of condition assessment. During an interview on 08/14/25 with Staff 28, Staff 30 (Regional Director of Health Services), and Staff 31 (Administrator), no additional information was provided as to why the significant change of condition was not assessed in a timely manner. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed in a timely manner for all significant changes of condition was reviewed with Staff 28, Staff 30, and Staff 31 on 08/14/25 at 12:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2014 with diagnoses including dementia. On 12/17/24 at approximately 1:20 pm, the surveyor observed two caregivers provide incontinence care to Resident 3. During the process, Staff 9 (CG) assisted Staff 18 (CG) to remove the resident’s soiled/wet pants and soiled incontinence brief. The resident’s soiled pants were put directly on the carpeted floor and the brief was put in a garbage sack. Staff 18 failed to consistently change his gloves between dirty and clean tasks, such as after cleaning the resident’s perineal area and bottom and the removal of soiled items from the resident. Staff 18 touched the clean pants and brief before he was cued by Staff 9 to change his gloves. Staff 9 attempted to carry the wet pants to the laundry unbagged. The staff member was asked to put the pants in a bag before leaving the room and complied. Observations on 12/18/24 of ADL care at approximately 9:07 am and again at 10:47 am showed the following: * Glove changes between clean and dirty tasks were inconsistently completed by Staff 18. * Gloves used to remove soiled items and/or clean up the resident were used to touch clean briefs, clothes and/or bedding. Staff changed the gloves when asked to do so. * Soiled pants with both feces and urine were pulled off the resident and feces fell onto the bed, blanket and Hoyer sling pad. * The soiled pants were pulled through the air without determining what was falling out of the pants. Staff 12 stopped Staff 18 and informed him there was feces in the resident’s pants. * A wipe was used to grab the feces off the resident’s bed and put in the trash. * The resident’s Hoyer sling had a brown substance on it. When staff were asked if the sling was clean and free of feces, they confirmed it was. However, when the resident was done being changed Staff 9 indicated they were changing the sling. The sling was taken to the laundry room in a bag with the resident’s pants. An observation on 12/19/24 at approximately 9:03 am showed the following: * The blanket covering the resident had a brown, crusty substance on the inside section of the blanket. * Staff 18 was asked what was on the resident’s blanket and indicated after looking closely and scratching at the stain that it was probably food. The blanket was removed from the resident and placed in his/her recliner chair along with other items. * After the resident was changed and dressed, the resident’s pajamas and the blanket with the brown substance, were removed from the room by staff. Staff 18 held the pile of laundry close to his body and carried the items to the laundry room. The items were not bagged or in any other type of receptacle. Staff 12 and 18 indicated soiled items were put in bags. The need to ensure staff consistently used proper infection control and universal precautions when incontinence care was provided was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 5 (RCC) on 12/18/24. They acknowledged appropriate infection control practices were not being followed. 2. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 09/2019 with diagnoses including dementia and chronic kidney disease. A review of his/her current service plan and interviews with staff revealed s/he was dependent on staff for all ADL care, including two person assist with toileting. On 12/19/24 at 9:40 am, two staff were observed providing incontinence care for Resident 5 in bed. One staff failed to change gloves after wiping fecal matter from Resident 5’s bottom area. While wearing the same soiled gloves, the staff then touched resident’s legs, heel protectors, side rail and blanket. The need to ensure infection prevention and control protocols were followed was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 4 (Regional Director of Health Services) on 12/19/24 at 2:55 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

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.

Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2014 with diagnoses including dementia. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's service plan dated 11/15/24 showed the resident had a scoop mattress with raised sides at the head and foot of the mattress. A small gap was present between the upper and lower sections of the raised sides. Additionally, the resident had a high back, tilt in space wheelchair which allowed staff to recline the resident at a variety of different angles. The resident was unable to express any information regarding the devices. The resident’s cognition was significantly impaired and s/he required full assistance from staff for all ADL care including feeding of meals and two person assistance for transfers and dressing. Review of the resident's record showed no documented assessment or evaluation of the scoop mattress or the tilt in space wheelchair. The resident’s service plan did not provide information to staff related to either device, safety/maintenance items to watch for or how to use the device with the resident. The need for a PT, RN or OT to complete an assessment of any device with restraining qualities at least quarterly, was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 4 (Regional Director of Health Services) and Staff 5 (RCC) on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24. The staff acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 09/2019 with diagnoses including dementia and chronic kidney disease. On 12/17/24 Resident 5 was observed to have a half side rail in the up position on the right side of the hospital bed. A current assessment for the side rail was requested on 12/18/24 at 1:25 pm. The facility provided the initial assessment for the side rail, completed on 02/08/24. On 12/18/24, Staff 4 (Regional Director of Health Services) confirmed there was no documented evidence a quarterly evaluation for Resident 5’s side rail had been completed since the initial assessment. She indicated Staff 3 (RN) was evaluating Resident 5 for the side rail. No further documentation was provided. The need to ensure an evaluation of any device with restraining qualities was evaluated at least quarterly, was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 4 on 12/19/24 at 2:55 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
