Plan of Correction

Citation: OAR 411-054-0090 (1-2) Fire and Life Safety Deficiency: The facility failed to ensure fire drills were conducted per Oregon Fire Code (OFC) and failed to provide fire and life safety training to staff on alternate months from drills. Documentation for required elements of drills (escape route, evacuation time, problems encountered, number of occupants evacuated) was incomplete. Staff training records were not available for alternate months. Plan of Correction: What actions will be taken to correct the rule violation for each example/resident: Immediately upon identification, the Maintenance Director, Administrator, and Memory Care Director reviewed and implemented the use of the Fire Drill Record form which includes all required elements: escape route, evacuation time, problems encountered/residents who resisted or failed to participate, and number of occupants evacuated. Additionally, the use of the Fire Drill Evaluation document will be completed following each drill that is conducted to evaluate the drill and identify areas of necessary improvement and identify the need for additional training. How will the system be corrected so this violation does not happen again? The Administrator or designee will review completed drill and training documentation monthly to ensure required elements are present. Staff responsible for conducting fire drills (Maintenance Director, shift supervisors) will be retrained on documentation requirements and use of the Fire Drill and Evaluation forms. How often will the area needing correction be evaluated? This will be evaluated monthly during the required drills and evidenced by completion of the Fire Drill Evaluation form as well as during monthly QA meetings. Who will be responsible to see that the corrections are completed/monitored? The Maintenance Director will audit drill and training records monthly. Any missing or incomplete documentation will be addressed immediately with the staff member responsible, and retraining will occur as needed. Audit results will be reviewed during monthly QA meetings.

These requirements apply to newly endorsed, constructed, or remodeled communities which have construction documents approved on or after November 1, 2010 with the exception of subsections (d) and (e) of this section. (a) The space must be a minimum of 600 square feet or 15 square feet per resident, whichever is greater and is exclusive of normal walkways and landscaping. The space must have a minimum dimension of 15 feet in any direction; (b) Fences surrounding the perimeter of the outdoor recreation area must be no less than six feet in height, constructed to reduce the risk of resident elopement, and maintained in functional condition; (c) Walkways must meet the accessibility requirements of the Oregon Structural Specialty Code. Walkway surfaces must be a medium to dark reflectance value to prevent glare from reflected sunlight; (d) Outdoor furniture must be sufficient weight, stability, design, and be maintained to prevent resident injury or aid in elopement; and (e) Doors to the outdoor recreation area may be locked during nighttime hours or during severe weather per facility policy. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to have a written facility policy which detailed when doors to the outdoor recreation area may be locked during nighttime hours or during severe weather and to ensure that fencing surrounding the perimeter of the outdoor recreation area was no less than six feet in height. Findings include, but are not limited to: During the survey, the doors to the interior courtyard were observed to be locked on in the afternoon hours of 08/11/25 and 08/12/25, when the heat was above 95 degrees F. During a tour of the building on 08/12/25 at 12:40 pm, Staff 1 (Memory Care Director) reported the courtyard doors were locked by an electronic keypad when temperatures were above 95 degrees F, and it was written on the white board in the dining area. She confirmed there was no written policy for severe weather. A tour of the facility courtyard on 08/12/25 at 9:00 am with Staff 5 (Maintenance Director) showed 18 of the 25 sections of fencing around the perimeter of the secured outdoor area, including the gate, were less than six feet in height. The shortest sections were approximately 5 feet 10 inches. The need to ensure the facility had a written policy for severe weather when the doors to the courtyard would be locked and to ensure the perimeter fencing of the outdoor recreation area was no less than six feet in height reviewed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (Administrator), and Staff 3 (Assistant Administrator) on 08/12/25. The findings were acknowledged.

Plan of Correction

Regulation Cited: OAR 411-057-0170(6) – Secure Outdoor Recreation Area Deficiency: The facility failed to meet licensing requirements for Residential Care and Assisted Living Facilities due to: Courtyard fencing measuring below the required six (6) feet in several sections. As well as Absence of a posted community policy next to exterior doors regarding door locking during inclement weather or nighttime hours. Corrective Action: Fence Correction-The Maintenance Director and Memory Care Director coordinated with Quality Fence Company to install a 1 ½” x 5 ½” rail on the top of all courtyard fence panels. This correction ensures all fencing meets the six-foot height requirement. Community Policy Posting-A written policy regarding courtyard access was created and posted next to the exterior door leading to the courtyard. The policy specifies when doors will be locked due to inclement weather or during nighttime hours. Ongoing Oversight-The Maintenance Director and Memory Care Director will conduct monthly safety inspections to ensure: Fence height remains in compliance. Policy postings are present, legible, and up to date. Any deficiencies identified will be corrected immediately and reviewed at monthly QA Meetings. Monitoring: The Administrator will oversee monthly compliance audits for 90 days, transitioning to quarterly audits thereafter.
