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. The local law enforcement agency must be called first when the suspected abuse is believed to be a crime (e.g., rape, murder, assault, burglary, kidnapping, theft of controlled substances, etc.). (d) INJURY OF UNKNOWN CAUSE. Physical injury of unknown cause must be reported to the local SPD office, or the local AAA, as suspected abuse, unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably concludes and documents that the physical injury is not the result of abuse. (3) FACILITY INVESTIGATION. In addition to immediately reporting abuse or suspected abuse to SPD, AAA, or the law enforcement agency, the facility must promptly investigate all reports of abuse and suspected abuse and take measures necessary to protect residents and prevent the reoccurrence of abuse. Investigation of suspected abuse must document: (a) Time, date, place and individuals present; (b) Description of the event as reported; (c) Response of staff at the time of the event; (d) Follow-up action; and (e) Administrator's review. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to immediately report abuse relating to resident to resident altercations, ensure incidents were immediately investigated to rule out abuse or suspected abuse, and report to the local SPD (Seniors and People with Disabilities) office when abuse could not be reasonably ruled out for 3 of 4 sampled residents (#s 1, 3, and 4) who had documented incidents. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 03/2025 with diagnoses including paralysis in lower extremities and generalized weakness. The resident’s facility medical record including an Incident Form, dated 05/26/25, and progress notes, dated 03/14/25 through 05/29/25, were reviewed and staff were interviewed. The following incidents were identified: * 03/31/25: Two "penny sized wounds"; * 05/02/25: Skin tear to the resident's nose; and * 05/04/25: Bruising to upper left thigh. Facility documentation confirmed that Resident 1 was unable to recall how the above incidents occurred. On 06/11/25 at 1:04 pm, Staff 1 (ED) confirmed the incidents had not been investigated in order to rule out abuse. On 06/11/25 at 6:02 pm, documentation was provided that the above injuries of unknown cause were reported to the local SPD office. The need to ensure all incidents of abuse or suspected abuse were immediately investigated to rule out abuse, and if abuse could not be ruled out, reported to the local SPD office was discussed with Staff 1 on 06/11/25. She acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 3 moved into the facility in 07/2024 with diagnoses including dementia and chronic kidney disease and Resident 4 moved into the facility in 05/2024 with diagnoses including macular degeneration and dysphasia. On 06/10/25, it was reported that Resident 3 and Resident 4 had a physical altercation. The resident’s records were reviewed, including each resident’s current service plan, progress notes, dated 05/30/25 through 06/07/25, temporary service plans, dated 05/30/25, and an Incident Form dated 05/30/25. Interviews with staff were conducted and the following was identified: On 05/30/25, when Resident 3 “…was being seated at the dinner table…[s/he] ended up yelling at [Resident 4] that [his/her] legs were in the wrong place and needed to be moved…” and “…Instead of waiting the resident decided to kick [Resident 4’s] legs…” Documentation provided for Resident 3 and Resident 4 lacked a determined follow-up action and/or interventions to limit the potential for reoccurrence. On 06/12/25 at 9:01 am, Staff 2 (Director of Wellness) stated he was unaware if the incident was reported to local SPD office and at that time, survey requested the facility to report the incident if it had not been already. On 06/12/25 at 11:36 am, confirmation was received the resident-to-resident altercation was not previously reported to the local SPD office and was reported that day. The need to ensure all incidents of abuse were reported to the local SPD office was discussed with Staff 2, Staff 3 (RCC), and Staff 5 (Memory Care Administrator) on 06/13/25 at 11:35 am. They acknowledged the findings.

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.

OAR 411-054-0055 (2) Systems: Medication Administration (2) MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION. 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 accurate MARs were kept for all medications that were ordered by a legally recognized prescriber and were administered by the facility for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 2, 3, and 5) whose MARs were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 moved into the facility in 07/2024 with diagnoses including dementia and chronic kidney disease. The resident’s physician orders and MARs, dated 05/01/25 through 06/10/25, were reviewed and interviews with staff were conducted, the following was identified: a. The MAR documented the following medications as administered, however the MAR also noted “not here” due to the “pharmacy account suspension” or “med not here”: * Simvastatin (for cholesterol) on 11 occasions; * Nystatin (for rash) on seven occasions; * Bupropion (for depression) on two occasions; * Polyethylene Glycol (for constipation) on two occasions; * Sennosides (for stomach cramps) on three occasions; and * Ketoconazole 2% cream (for antifungal) on one occasion. On 06/11/25 at 11:07 am, Staff 3 (RCC) reviewed the documentation and confirmed the above orders were documented as administered and were not administered. b. The MAR lacked dosage or volume to administer for the following: * Ketoconazole 2% cream (for antifungal); and * Nystatin powder (for rash). The need to ensure an accurate MAR was kept for all medications that were ordered by a legally recognized prescriber and were administered by the facility was reviewed with Staff 2, Staff 3 (RCC), and Staff 5 (Memory Care Administrator) on 06/13/25 at 11:35 am. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 5 moved into the facility in 11/2020 with diagnosis including ataxia (a condition that creates problems with coordination, causing uncertain movement that can appear awkward or clumsy). On 06/11/25 at 11:59 am, Resident 5 stated s/he had several “issues” with the facility “keeping track of [his/her] medications” and that “[s/he] shouldn’t have to count [his/her] pills to see if [s/he] is getting all of them”. The resident’s physician orders and MARs, dated 05/01/25 through 06/11/25, were reviewed and interviews with staff were conducted. The following was identified: a. The resident had physician orders dated 05/12/25 and 05/23/25, for Ciprofloxacin HCl 500mg (for infection) to be administered twice daily (14 tablets). The orders contained a total of 28 tablets for administration. There were no additional orders for this medication provided. From 05/13/25 through 05/31/25, the MAR indicated the medication was administered on 33 occasions. On 06/12/25 at 1:02 pm, the discrepancies above were reviewed with Staff 2 (Director of Wellness) and he acknowledged the documentation errors. b. The MAR had documented ranges for administration for the following: * Gabapentin (for catheter changes) administer “1 – 3 capsules…”; and * Ipratropium Bromide 0.03% spray (for rhinorrhea) administer “1 – 2 sprays”. On 06/12/25 at 1:02 pm, the lack of direction to instruct non-licensed staff on what to administer was reviewed with Staff 2. The need to ensure an accurate MAR was kept for all medications that were ordered by a legally recognized prescriber and were administered by the facility was reviewed with Staff 2, Staff 3 (RCC), and Staff 5 (Memory Care Administrator) on 06/13/25 at 11:35 am. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 07/2021 with diagnoses including vascular dementia and pain. The resident's MARs, dated 05/01/25 through 06/10/25, and prescriber orders were reviewed. The following PRN pain medications lacked resident specific parameters for the sequential order of use: * Acetaminophen liquid; * Camphor-menthol-methyl salicylate patch; * Diclofenac sodium gel; * Lidocaine cream; * Salonpas deep relief gel; and * Tramadol. In addition, the tramadol was prescribed for PRN administration, every six to eight hours, making unlicensed staff responsible to determine how many hours the resident would need in between doses. The requirement for MARs to be accurate, including resident-specific parameters for PRN medications, was discussed with Staff 2 (Director of Wellness), Staff 3 (RCC), and Staff 5 (Memory Care Administrator) on 06/13/25. They acknowledged the findings.

The fire drill records lacked the following components: * Escape route used; * Problems encountered, comments relating to residents who resisted or failed to participate in the drills; * Evacuation time-period needed; and * Number of occupants evacuated. Due to the escape route not being documented, there was no evidence alternative routes were used during fire drills. Any problems encountered with residents being resistive to participate in drill was not documented, thus the facility was unable to determine if the evacuation standard had been met. There was no documented evidence the facility provided fire and life safety instruction to staff on alternating months from fire drills. The need to ensure fire drills included documentation of all required components was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 7 (Maintenance Director) on 06/11/25. They acknowledged the findings.
