OAR 411-054-0036 (1-4) Service Plan: General (1) If the resident has a Person-Centered Service Plan pursuant to 411- 004-0030, the facility must incorporate all elements identified in the person centered service plan into the resident's service plan. (2) SERVICE PLAN. The service plan must reflect the resident's needs as identified in the evaluation and include resident preferences that support the principles of dignity, privacy, choice, individuality, and independence. (a) The service plan must be completed: (A) Before resident move-in, with updates and changes as appropriate within the first 30-days; and (B) Following quarterly evaluations. (b) The service plan must be readily available to staff and provide clear direction regarding the delivery of services. (c) The service plan must include a written description of who shall provide the services and what, when, how, and how often the services shall be provided. (d) Changes and entries made to the service plan must be dated and initialed. (e) When the resident experiences a significant change of condition the service plan must be reviewed and updated as needed. (f) A copy of the service plan, including each update, must be offered to the resident or to the resident's legal representative. (g) The facility administrator is responsible for ensuring the implementation of services. (h) Changes to the service plan, including updates due to a significant change of condition and quarterly updates must be reflected in the facility’s ABST care elements. (3) SERVICE PLAN REQUIREMENTS BEFORE MOVE-IN. (a) Based on the resident evaluation performed before move-in, an initial service plan must be developed before move-in that reflects the identified needs and preferences of the resident. (b) The initial service plan must be reviewed within 30-days of movein to ensure that any changes made to the plan during the initial 30- days, accurately reflect the resident's needs and preferences. (c) Staff must document and date adjustments or changes as applicable. (4) QUARTERLY SERVICE PLAN REQUIREMENTS. (a) Service plans must be completed quarterly after the resident moves into the facility. (b) The quarterly evaluation is the basis of the resident's quarterly service plan. (c) If the resident's service plan is revised and updated at the quarterly review, changes must be dated and initialed, and prior historical information must be maintained. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure service plans were reflective of residents' current care needs, and provided clear directions to staff regarding the delivery of services for 5 of 6 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6) whose service plans were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 04/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease, schizoaffective disorder, nicotine dependence, and incontinence of bowel and bladder. Observations were made of the resident's care on 08/18/25 and 08/19/25, interviews with the resident and facility staff were conducted, and the service plan, dated 08/06/25, was reviewed. Resident 3's service plan was not reflective of the resident's current needs and lacked clear instructions to staff in the following areas: * Number of staff needed to assist with ADLs including dressing/undressing; * Instructions on signs and symptoms of depression to report while on anti-depressant therapy; * Instructions on signs and symptoms of schizoaffective disorder to report while on anti-psychotic therapy; * Clear instructions to staff on how to provide care to someone who has a sling related to upper extremity fracture; * Preference for female care staff to provide ADLs; * How a person expresses memory loss; and * Clear instructions to staff when the resident smoked cigarettes and marijuana. Staff 10 (MT/CG) was interviewed on 08/19/25 at 12:04 pm and stated Resident 3 was independent with ADLs prior to the fall on 08/05/25, which resulted in a left upper arm fracture. After the fall, the resident required one person assist with “all ADLs, especially dressing/undressing… and toileting sometimes.” During the interview with the resident on 08/19/25 at 2:33 pm, s/he confirmed the need for one person assist with ADLs and stated, “I am one handed now... and very private about bathroom. Use my right hand to help [with toileting] and prefer female.” Review of the MARs confirmed the resident was taking Wellbutrin (for depression) daily and Risperdal (for schizophrenia). During the interview with the resident on 08/19/25, a full bottle with nuggets of marijuana and several pipes were noted on the table next to the resident. Additionally, a strong odor of marijuana was present in the room. The need to ensure service plans reflected residents' current needs and provided clear instructions to staff regarding the delivery of services was reviewed with Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (MCC Administrator), and Staff 15 (Regional Director of Operations) on 08/21/25 at 2:25 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 05/2022 with diagnoses including anxiety, depression, tremors, hearing loss, dementia, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Observations were made of the resident's care on 08/20/25 and 08/21/25, interviews with the resident and facility staff were conducted, and the service plan, dated 08/08/25, was reviewed. Resident 4's service plan was not reflective of the resident's current needs and lacked clear instructions to staff in the following areas: * Number of staff needed to assist with ADLs including dressing/undressing; * Instructions on signs and symptoms of depression to report while on anti-depressant therapy; * Instructions to staff on assisting with hearing aids as needed; * Instructions when resident partially self-administers medications; * Incorrect reference to resident using bed side cane; * Incorrect reference to resident liquid intake consistency; * Instructions to staff on providing care to the resident with body tremors; and * Electric wheelchair equipment precautions and instructions for proper maintenance. The resident stated on 08/20/25 at 4:50 pm the order for soft mechanical texture was given because the resident had no upper dentures and requested the change of texture for easy chewing. The resident denied experiencing difficulties swallowing. During the interview on 08/21/25 at 12:14 pm, Staff 7 (MT) stated the resident was getting soft mechanical texture meals and thin liquids, not thickened liquids as noted in the service plan. The resident was noted in the service plan to be independent with hearing aids; however, on 08/21/25, Staff 7 was observed placing hearing aids in Resident 4’s ears bilaterally due to the resident hand’s tremors. During the interview on 08/20/25, the resident confirmed s/he was taking over-the-counter medications that were not listed on the MAR, including melatonin gummies (for sleep), arthritis pain gel (for pain), and Salonpas patch (for pain). The need to ensure service plans reflected residents' current needs and provided clear instructions to staff regarding the delivery of services was reviewed with Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (MCC Administrator), and Staff 15 (Regional Director of Operations) on 08/21/25 at 2:25 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 01/2022 with diagnoses including lymphedema, congestive heart failure and blindness. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, review of interim service plans, observation notes from 05/28/25 through 08/19/25, and review of the service plan, dated 06/30/25, showed the service plan was not reflective of the resident's current care needs and/or did not provide clear direction to staff in the following areas: * Preference for female assistance with ADL cares; * Pain, including the location and non-drug interventions; * Who managed the portable oxygen unit; * How staff alert they have entered the apartment by blinking lights; and * Assistance needed for bed mobility. In an interview on 08/21/25 at 11:50 am, Staff 16 (CG) entered Resident 2’s apartment and observed Staff 16 turn the lights on and off prior to approaching the resident. He noted, “We do this because [Resident 1] can’t see or hear so we don’t want to startle [him/her].” Staff 16 also indicated Resident 1 only wanted female staff assisting with toileting and dressing. In an interview on 08/21/25 at 1:00 pm, Resident 1 indicated s/he needed staff’s assistance to get out of bed and noted s/he experienced pain in the ankles and knees. The need to ensure resident service plans were reflective of current care needs and/or provided clear direction to staff was discussed with Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator) and Staff 2 (MCC Administrator), and Staff 15 (Regional Director of Operations) on 08/21/25 at 3:15 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 4. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 06/2021 with diagnoses including stroke. Interviews with staff, review of interim service plans, observation notes from 05/27/25 through 08/12/25, and review of the service plan, dated 06/18/25, showed the service plan was not reflective of the resident's current care needs and/or did not provide clear direction to staff in the following areas: * Preference for female assistance with ADL cares; * Pain, including the location and non-drug interventions; and * Outside providers, including HH RN and PT services being provided. In an interview on 08/21/25 at 11:30 am, Staff 16 (CG) indicated Resident 2 preferred female staff to assist him/her with showers and dressing. Resident 2 allowed male staff to assist with toileting on occasion, if s/he was in a hurry and no one else was available. The need to ensure resident service plans were reflective of current care needs and/or provided clear direction to staff was discussed with Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (MCC Administrator), and Staff 15 (Regional Director of Operations) on 08/21/25 at 3:15 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 5. Resident 6 moved into the facility in 11/2021 with diagnoses including diabetes and had recently been admitted onto hospice services. The resident’s service plan, dated 08/06/25, was reviewed, and Resident 6 was interviewed. The service plan was not reflective of the resident's current needs and lacked clear instructions to staff in the following areas: * Daily vitals; * Resident-centered fall interventions; * Assistance needed with ADLs; * Preferences of where s/he ate his/her meals; * Frequency of safety checks; * Transportation needs; * The use of siderails, what to monitor the siderails for, and who to report to if there was a malfunction; and * Services hospice provided, including which disciplines and what days of the week the services are provided. Resident 6 was interviewed on 08/21/25 at 11:02 am. Observations were made of bilateral siderails secured to a hospital bed in the raised position. The resident voiced frustration of not knowing when the hospice bath aide would be at the facility and was told “Tuesdays and Thursday or Friday.” Resident 6 confirmed the bath aide “never came.” The resident also stated not going to the dining room for his/her meals. Two health events occurred in the dining room which were embarrassing to Resident 6. At that time, the resident chose to eat in his/her apartment to avoid any future embarrassment. The need to ensure service plans reflected residents' current needs and provided clear instructions to staff regarding the delivery of services was reviewed with Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (MCC Administrator), and Staff 15 (Regional Director of Operations) on 08/21/25 at 1:08 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

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 observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to evaluate the resident, refer to the facility nurse, document the change, and/or update the service plan as needed for a significant change of condition, and failed to determine what action or intervention was needed for a resident following a short-term change of condition, communicate the determined action or intervention to staff, document progress until the condition resolved and monitor each resident consistent with his or her evaluated needs for 4 of 6 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 3, and 4) who experienced changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 06/2021 with diagnoses including stroke. A review of the resident’s clinical record indicated the following: On 06/09/25, staff documented the resident was admitted to the hospital for a stroke. Hospital discharge notes indicated the resident had ongoing weakness and difficulty ambulating. Resident 2 returned from the hospital on 06/11/25. There was no documented evidence the resident was evaluated for the weakness and difficulty ambulating upon return from the hospital. Resident 2 experienced a stroke and subsequent decline in ADL function, which constituted a significant change of condition which required the facility to evaluate the resident, document the change, and update the service plan as needed. In an interview on 08/20/25 at 2:15 pm, Staff 2 (MCC Administrator) acknowledged an evaluation for the significant change of condition was not completed upon Resident 2’s return from the hospital. She further acknowledged the change was not documented, and the service plan was not updated as needed. b. On 07/17/25, an observation note was completed by Staff 3 for a significant change of condition and indicated “RN assessed [Resident 2] at the hospital this morning for potential return home” following a compression fracture and weakness. Upon return to the facility, there was no documented evidence the resident was evaluated, the change was documented, and the service plan was updated as needed regarding pain, including pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions. The need to ensure the facility evaluated significant changes of condition, the change was documented, and the service plan was updated as needed was discussed Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2, and Staff 15 (Regional Director of Operations) on 08/21/25 at 3:15 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 01/2022 with diagnoses including lymphedema, congestive heart failure and blindness. a. Facility weight records for Resident 1 noted the following: * 07/01/25: 195 pounds; and * 08/01/25: 182.6 pounds. Between 07/01/25 and 08/01/25, Resident 1 experienced weight loss of 12.4 pounds, or 6.4% of his/her total body weight, in one month. This constituted a severe weight loss and was a significant change of condition. The service plan indicated Resident 1 was weighed daily and “to monitor [his/her] weight gain or loss, Staff is to report to the RN and PCP if there is any significant change in [Resident 2’s] weight.” On 08/19/25 at 4:30 pm, Staff 3 (RN) stated she was not notified of Resident 1’s significant weight loss and she was not aware of a system in place to notify the RN when there was a significant weight loss or gain. The facility lacked documented evidence Resident 1 was referred to the facility RN regarding his/her 6.4% total body weight loss in one month. b. A review of the resident’s clinical record revealed the following: * On 07/09/25 the resident returned from an appointment and his/her Tramadol 50 mg dose was increased to 1 tablet every 8 hours PRN pain. There was no documented evidence the resident had been monitored through resolution as to whether the pain control measures were effective and any adverse effects from the opioid pain medication, such as constipation. * On 07/24/25 the resident started a new prescription for Singulair 10 mg daily for asthma. There was no documented evidence the resident had been monitored through resolution as to whether the medication was effective and any adverse effects. * On 08/01/25 staff documented the resident “has been having increased weakness and is needing two people for assist.” There was no documented evidence the resident had been evaluated to determine what actions or intervention was needed, communicated the determined action or intervention to staff, and monitored at least weekly through resolution for the weakness and need for increased assistance. The need to ensure the facility referred significant changes of condition to the facility RN, determined, documented, and communicated determined actions or interventions to staff, and monitored conditions with documented progress at least weekly, until short-term changes of condition were resolved was discussed with Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (MCC Administrator), and Staff 15 (Regional Director of Operations) on 08/21/25 at 3:15 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 04/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease, schizoaffective disorder, nicotine dependence, and incontinence of bowel and bladder. A review of Resident 3’s clinical records, 05/27/25 through 08/18/25, including the current service plan, dated 08/06/25, showed the following: * On 08/06/25, the resident returned to the facility after an emergency room visit related to a fracture of [his/her] left upper arm secondary to an unwitnessed fall. The resident was started on hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg starter pack (opioid pain reliever) to control pain in the left upper arm. There was no documented evidence the resident had been monitored through resolution as to whether the pain control measures were effective. * On 08/07/25, the resident returned to the facility after an emergency room visit related to confusion secondary to a bladder infection. On 08/08/25, the resident was started on cephalexin 500 mg (antibiotic) to control infection. There was no documented evidence the resident had been monitored through resolution for signs and symptoms of bladder infection, effectiveness and adverse effects of the antibiotic, and level of cognition and confusion. * On 08/09/25, the resident returned to the facility after an emergency room visit related to increased pain of the left upper extremity. On 08/09/25, the resident was started on hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg starter pack to control pain. There was no documented evidence the resident had been monitored through resolution as to whether the pain control measures were effective. * On 08/13/25, the resident was started on Bactrim (antibiotic). There was no documented evidence the resident had been monitored through resolution for signs and symptoms of bladder infection, and effectiveness and adverse effects of the antibiotic. The need to ensure the facility had a system in place to monitor each resident consistent with his or her evaluated needs and service plan was reviewed with Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (MC Administrator), and Staff 15 (Regional Director of Operations) on 08/21/25 at 2:25 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 4. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 05/2022 with diagnoses including anxiety, depression, tremors, hearing loss, dementia, and carpal tunnel syndrome. A review of Resident 4’s clinical records, 05/18/25 through 08/12/25, including the current service plan, dated 08/08/25, showed the following: * On 06/02/25, the resident discontinued propranolol 10 mg (for blood pressure). There was no documented evidence the resident was monitored for adverse effects of discontinuing the medication, such as high blood pressure. * On 06/03/25, an observation note recorded, “Resident called for assistance after running over [his/her] right foot with [his/her] electric wheelchair. Resident has slight bruising on [his/her] right foot.” There was no documented evidence the facility evaluated the extent of the injury on the resident’s right foot or monitored the bruising through resolution of the condition. * On 07/28/25, the resident had an unwitnessed fall with abrasions to both knees. There was no documented evidence the facility monitored the resident for signs and symptoms of complications to the abrasions, such as infection. The need to ensure the facility had a system in place to monitor each resident consistent with his or her evaluated needs and service plan and to monitor short-term changes of condition with weekly progress noted to resolution was reviewed with Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (MC Administrator), and Staff 15 (Regional Director of Operations) on 08/21/25 at 2:25 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

OAR 411-054-0045 (1)(a-f)(A)(C-F) Resident Health Services Resident Health Services (1) RESIDENT HEALTH SERVICES. The facility must provide health services and have systems in place to respond to the 24-hour care needs of residents. The system must:(a) Include written policies and procedures on medical emergency response for all shifts.(b) Include an Oregon licensed nurse who is regularly scheduled for onsite duties at the facility and who is available for phone consultation.(c) Assure an adequate number of nursing hours relevant to the census and acuity of the resident population. IICs must meet contract requirements concerning nursing hours.(d) Ensure that the facility RN is notified of nursing needs as identified in OAR 411-054-0034 (Resident Move-In and Evaluation) or OAR 411-054-0036 (Service Plan - General).(e) Define the duties, responsibilities and limitations of the facility nurse in policy and procedures, admission, and disclosure material.(f) Licensed nurses must deliver the following nursing services:(A) Registered nurse (RN) assessment in accordance with facility policy and resident condition. At minimum, the RN must assess all residents with a significant change of condition. The assessment may be a full or problem focused assessment as determined by the RN. A chart review or phone consultation may be performed as part of this assessment. The RN must document findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of this assessment. The assessment must be timely, but is not required prior to emergency response in acute situations.(C) Monitoring of Resident Condition. The facility must specify the role of the licensed nurse in the facility's monitoring and reporting system.(D) Participation on Service Planning Team. If the resident experiences a significant change of condition and the service plan is updated, the licensed nurse must participate on the Service Planning Team, or must review the service plan with date and signature within 48 hours.(E) Health Care Teaching and Counseling. A licensed nurse must provide individual and group education activities as required by individual service plans and facility policies.(F) Intermittent Direct Nursing Services. 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 a timely RN assessment was completed that included findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#2) who experienced significant changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 06/2021 with diagnoses including stroke. a. On 06/09/25, staff documented the resident was admitted to the hospital for a stroke. Resident 2 returned from the hospital on 06/11/25 and hospital discharge notes indicated the resident had ongoing weakness and difficulty ambulating. The stroke constituted a significant change of condition requiring a facility RN assessment. There was no documented evidence a timely RN assessment was completed when Resident 2 returned to the facility. In an interview on 08/19/25 at 4:30 pm, Staff 3 (RN) acknowledged an RN assessment was not completed until 06/18/25, seven days after the significant change of condition occurred. b. On 07/17/25, staff documented the resident experienced a hospital stay for a compression fracture of the lumbar spine. Review of the RN assessment completed on 07/17/25 revealed no interventions were made as a result of the assessment for the compression fracture related to pain, including pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions. The need to ensure a timely RN assessment was completed which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for all significant changes of condition was discussed with Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (MCC Administrator), and Staff 15 (Regional Director of Operations) on 08/21/25 at 3:15 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

The facility must assist residents in accessing health care services and benefits to which they are entitled from outside providers. When benefits are no longer available, or if the resident is not eligible for benefits, the facility must provide or coordinate the required services, as defined in facility disclosure information, for residents whose health status is stable and predictable. (a) On-site Health Services. The facility must coordinate on-site health services with outside service providers such as hospice, home health, or other privately paid supplemental health care providers, etc. (A) The facility management or licensed nurse must be notified of the services provided by the outside provider to ensure that staff are informed of new interventions, and that the service plan is adjusted if necessary, and reporting protocols are in place. (B) The facility nurse must review the resident's health related service plan changes made as a result of the provision of on-site health services noted in section (2)(a)(A) of this rule. (C) The facility must have policies to ensure that outside service providers leave written information in the facility that addresses the on-site services being provided to the resident and any clinical information necessary for facility staff to provide supplemental care. (b) Off-site Health Services. The facility must coordinate off-site health services for residents who cannot or choose not to self-manage their health services. (A) The facility must assist the resident by coordinating appointments, with outside providers, that are necessary to support the resident's health needs. (B) Transportation for medical purposes must be arranged or provided for by the facility. (C) Following a resident's visit to an outside medical provider, if information is obtained from said provider, it must be included in the resident's record. Adjustments to the resident's services and service plan must be made as applicable. (D) The facility must provide relevant information to the off-site provider and must have a protocol to facilitate the receipt of information from the provider. (c) The facility is exempt from the coordination of outside health services for residents who are capable and choose to independently arrange and manage their health care needs. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to coordinate off-site health services for residents who could not or chose not to self-manage their health services including making adjustments to the residents’ services and service plans for 4 of 4 sampled residents (#s 2, 3, 4, and 6) whose records were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 04/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease, schizoaffective disorder, nicotine dependence, and incontinence of bowel and bladder. The resident’s clinical records, including the service plan dated 08/06/25, observation notes, dated 05/27/25 through 08/18/25, and outside provider notes were reviewed and revealed the following: * Patient discharge instructions from an emergency room visit on 08/07/25 stated, “[Resident] has a UTI [urinary tract infection]. Also [his/her] alcohol level was 47.” The communication instructed the resident “Refrain from drinking alcohol with pain medications”; and * Patient discharge instructions from an emergency room visit on 08/09/25 stated, “…recommend taking MiraLax (laxative) once or twice a day to prevent constipation.” There was no documented evidence the resident’s service plan was adjusted to incorporate outside provider recommendations. During an interview on 08/19/25 at 12:04 pm, Staff 10 (MT/CG) confirmed the resident received daily doses of opioid pain reliever from 08/06/25 through 08/15/25 to control pain related to an upper left extremity fracture and no laxative was administered per patient discharge instructions. The need to ensure the facility coordinated off-site health services for residents who could not or chose not to self-manage their health services including making adjustments to the resident’s services and service plans was reviewed with Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (MCC Administrator), and Staff 15 (Regional Director of Operations) on 08/21/25 at 2:25 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 05/2022 with diagnoses including anxiety, depression, tremors, hearing loss, dementia, and carpal tunnel syndrome. The resident’s clinical records, including the service plan dated 08/08/25, Observation notes, dated 05/18/25 through 08/12/25, current MAR, and Outside Provider notes were reviewed. A “Pharmacist’s Recommendation to Prescriber,” dated and signed 06/30/25, recommended to taper omeprazole 20mg (to treat heartburn and conditions caused by too much acid in the stomach) over two to four weeks and monitor for rebound of dyspepsia after stopping. The recommendation noted the long-term use of omeprazole “should be minimized whenever possible.” There was no documented evidence the facility staff updated the resident’s service plan to incorporate the pharmacist’s recommendation, and the resident’s MAR indicated the facility staff continued to administer omeprazole. The need to ensure the facility coordinated off-site health services for residents who cannot or choose not to self-manage their health services including making adjustments to the resident’s services and service plans was reviewed with Staff 1 (Assistant Administrator), Staff 2 (MCC Administrator), and Staff 15 (Regional Director of Operations) on 08/21/25 at 2:25 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 06/2021 with diagnoses including stroke.
