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 determine the resident-specific action or intervention that was needed for a resident following a short-term change of condition, communicate the determined action or intervention to staff on all shifts, and record weekly progress through resolution for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#2) who experienced short term changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 03/2025 with diagnoses including dementia and hypertension. The resident was observed and described by staff as requiring assistance for ambulation outside of his/her room and assistance from staff for transferring, toileting, dressing, bathing and grooming. The resident’s service plan, dated 06/14/25, noted that the resident had disorientation to person, place time or situation, poor judgement, and was at risk for falls due to his/her hip pain. The resident’s clinical record from 07/06/25 through 10/06/25 was reviewed during the survey. The following was identified: a. The resident was noted to have a history of severe right hip pain which limited all ADLs. On 08/27/25, the resident underwent a right hip injection procedure and returned with after visit instructions noting that the injection could cause “lightheadedness, dizziness and sleepiness.” The resident was identified as having a bruise to the injection site and a dressing which required removal two days after returning to the facility. There was no documented evidence of staff instructions and weekly monitoring until resolution for the hip bruising and injection site. During an interview on 10/10/25, Staff 2 (Interim ED) stated she was not aware of the resident’s after visit summary or that there were side effects from the injection, or bruising, that should have been communicated to staff and monitored. b. The resident experienced two unwitnessed falls on 08/28/25 and 09/06/25. The fall on 08/28/25 provided instructions to staff to monitor for injuries and potential side effects from hitting his/her head. The resident had another fall on 09/06/25, was taken to the local emergency department, returned to the facility, and a Temporary Service Plan (TSP) was created which identified areas to monitor. For both unwitnessed falls, the facility failed to evaluate current fall intervention or put additional interventions in place to avoid or minimize further falls. During an interview on 10/10/25, Staff 2 acknowledged the fall interventions were not evaluated for effectiveness and no new interventions were determined or communicated to staff. c. The resident was noted to have severe hip pain and used a PRN narcotic pain medication, oxycodone, three times per day. On 09/17/25, the medication was noted to be unavailable and was not administered to the resident again until 09/24/25. Staff documented on 09/18/25 that the resident had “been in fetal position grimacing/moaning in pain and not wanting to get out of bed.” On 10/07/25 at 10:37 am, Staff 10 (MT) stated that the medication was not available as they were waiting on a new order from the resident’s doctor. The resident had orders for PRN pain medication including acetaminophen and diclofenac gel. The PRN acetaminophen and diclofenac gel were not used between 09/17/25 and 09/23/25. There was no documented evidence that the facility determined and documented interventions for the unavailability of PRN oxycodone and documented side effects including loose stool from 09/19/25 through 09/24/25 and the residents’ increased level of pain. In an interview on 10/07/25 at 1:45 pm, Staff 10 stated that she did not notify nursing staff or the resident’s doctor of the repeated loose stools as Staff 10 felt the loose stools were a consequence of the resident not receiving narcotic medication and felt that once the resident received narcotic medication again the loose stools would resolve. She stated the resident did not have a PRN medication to assist with the loose stools and did not receive any treatment to address the loose stools or evaluate for additional causes or symptoms. The need to ensure the facility determined and documented what action or interventions were needed for short-term changes of condition, communicated the interventions to staff on all shifts, and monitored weekly progress through resolution was reviewed with Staff 2 (Interim ED) and Staff 3 (Business Office Director) on 10/10/25 at 11:00 am. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. Resident identified in the survey has been reassessed by the RN and placed on weekly updates to establish her new baseline. 2. Other residents that potentially could be affected by this practice have been reviewed and significant change of condition assessments have been initiated as appropriate. 3. RN will ensure coc monitoring and appropriate follow up is done on a weekly basis. 4. Administrator will review coc monitoring monthly to ensure continued compliance.

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:

OAR 411-054-0055 (1)(a) Systems: Medications and Treatments (1) MEDICATION AND TREATMENT ADMINISTRATION SYSTEMS. The facility must have safe medication and treatment administration systems in place that are approved by a pharmacist consultant, registered nurse, or physician.(a) The administrator is responsible for ensuring adequate professional oversight of the medication and treatment administration system. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure a safe medication administration system was in place. Findings include, but are not limited to: During the change of ownership survey, conducted 10/06/25 through 10/17/25, professional oversight of the medication administration system was found to be ineffective, based on deficiencies in the following areas: * C 302 – Tracking Control Substances; * C 303 - Medication and Treatment Orders; * C 305 - Resident Right to Refuse; and * C 310 - Medication Administration. The need to ensure a safe medication system was in place was reviewed with Staff 2 (Interim ED) and Staff 3 (Business Office Director) on 10/10/25 at 11:00 am. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. The medication and treatment administration system has been reviewed and the areas identified in the survey have been corrected. 2. The overall system has been reviewed to identify any other potential deficiencies in the system. We changed how the system populates reminders. In addition we will be contacting PCP re:frequency of notification of refusals. Our MAR will be updated to reflect parameters received by PCP, and Med Techs will follow these parameters. 3. Clinical team (including RN) will be monitoring refusals 3x weekly, and perfoming MAR and narcotic log audits. RN will review audits weekly to ensure compliance. 4. Administrator will review audits monthly to ensure continued compliance.

OAR 411-054-0055 (1)(e) Systems: Tracking Control Substances (e) The facility must have a system approved by a pharmacist consultant or registered nurse for tracking controlled substances and for disposal of all unused, outdated or discontinued medications administered by the facility. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to have a system in place for accurately tracking controlled substances administered by the facility for 1 of 1 resident (# 2) whose controlled substance distribution log was reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 03/2025 with diagnoses including dementia and hypertension. The resident had a signed physician order for PRN oxycodone (for pain), 5 mg, one tablet by mouth every eight hours as needed. Oxycodone is a narcotic pain medication and is a controlled substance. Review of the resident's 09/01/25 through 10/06/25 MARs and controlled substance disposition logs revealed the following: a. On 09/26/25 at 10:00 pm, oxycodone was shown as administered on the MAR but was not documented in the controlled substance disposition log as removed from the medication card. b. On the following dates, oxycodone was documented in the controlled substance distribution log as removed from the medication card, but was not documented as administered on the MAR: * 09/04/25 at 10:00 pm; * 09/05/25 at 2:00 pm; * 10/02/25 at 2:00 pm; * 10/04/25 at 10:00 pm; and * 10/05/25 at 10:00 pm. During interviews on 10/07/25 and 10/10/25, Staff 2 (Interim ED) and Staff 10 (MT) stated there was no process for tracking or reviewing errors or discrepancies between the MAR and the controlled substance log. Staff 2 and Staff 10 stated they were not aware of the discrepancies prior to the survey team identifying them. The need to ensure a system was in place for accurately tracking controlled substance distribution was reviewed with Staff 2 and Staff 3 (Business Office Director) on 10/10/25 at 11:00 am. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. The system for tracking narcotic substances has been reviewed and we removed the reminder option on the MAR, medtechs will now document in the MAR only for the administration. 2. Our shift change procedures will be modified by reconciling the electronic MAR with the Narcotic Log after each shift, no later than 11/30/2025. 3. RN will review these reconciliations weekly. 4. Admin will review reconciliations monthly to ensure continued compliance.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure medication and treatment orders were carried out as prescribed for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#2) whose orders were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 03/2025 with diagnoses including dementia and hypertension. Resident 2’s current physician’s orders and MARs dated 09/01/25 through 10/06/25 were reviewed. The following was identified: a. The resident had an order for milk of magnesia (for constipation), 30 ml by mouth with full glass of water as needed. The order stated, “if no bowel movement occurs 6-8 hours after administration notify [physician].” The medication was administered five times between 09/01/25 and 10/06/25. The notes after each administration showed that the resident was checked on one to two hours after administration and was noted as having “no relief” from constipation. During an interview on 10/07/25 at 1:45 pm, Staff 10 (MT) confirmed the facility had not been tracking whether a bowel movement occurred six to eight hours after administration, and there had been no contact with the physician related to the efficacy of the medication or continued constipation. b. The resident had an order for PRN oxycodone, 5 mg, 1 tablet by mouth every 8 hours as needed for pain. The facility staff faxed the resident’s physician on 07/25/25 requesting that her current narcotic pain medication, which was PRN, be changed to scheduled. The resident’s physician replied on 08/02/25 and stated that she did not recommend scheduled opiates. During interviews with Staff 10 on 10/07/25 at 1:45 pm and Staff 2 (Interim ED) on 10/10/25 at 11:00 am, staff stated because the physician refused to schedule the PRN medication, the facility noted on the resident’s MAR at 6:00 am, 2:00 pm, and 10:00 pm to “please give PRN pain med as [s/he] does not remember to ask for it.” Review of the MAR confirmed the medication was administered at those times. There was no documented evidence the facility obtained written orders to administer Oxycodone as scheduled three times per day. c. The resident had an order for trazadone, 50 mg, take 0.5 tablets by mouth at bedtime PRN for insomnia. The facility had placed the medication as a scheduled medication and was administering it nightly. Staff 2 confirmed on 10/10/25 at 11:00 am that there was no documented evidence that the medication should be administered as scheduled instead of PRN as per the physician’s order. The need to ensure all orders were carried out as prescribed was reviewed with Staff 2 and Staff 3 (Business Office Director) on 10/10/25 at 11:00 am. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. The resident identified in the survey has been reassessed, orders have been reviewed and corrections in the EMAR have been made. 2. Other residents that could potentially be impacted by this process have been reviewed and corrections were made as needed. 3. RN or designee is responsible for 3rd checking all orders. 4. Administrator will review a sampling of orders monthly to ensure continued compliance.

(b) Whenever there is a significant change of condition as defined in OAR 411-054-0040(1)(b). (c) No less than quarterly at the same time the resident’s service plan is updated as required by OAR 411-054-0034. (5) DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN UPDATED POSTED STAFFING PLAN. Each facility should use the results of an ABST to develop and routinely update the facility’s posted staffing plan. The staffing plan must outline the staffing numbers required to meet the scheduled and unscheduled needs of all residents in the facility, for each shift. The ABST and staffing plan must be reviewed at the frequency required in paragraph (4) of this rule. The facility must review the following and ensure accuracy between the posted staffing plan and ABST: (a) The total ABST care time required for the individual care elements as referenced in paragraph (3) of this rule. (b) Staffing plan must account for unscheduled care needs. (c) Documentation of consistently staffing to meet or exceed the posted staffing plan 24 hours a day, seven days a week. (d) The staffing requirements outlined in OAR 411-054-0070(1). (e) Any other applicable factors to be considered. (e.g., disruptions to normal facility operations.) (f) Time for paid or unpaid staff meal breaks must be accounted for and should not be included in the total scheduled staff time per shift.

(h) The staffing needs required under the Specific Needs Contracts, if applicable. (6) ABST REPORTING OF SPECIFIC NEEDS CONTRACTS AND EXCEPTIONAL PAYMENTS. Staffing required by a Specific Needs Contract (Contract), as described in OAR chapter 411, division 027, must be included in a facility’s ABST. (a) If all residents within the facility are receiving service through a Contract: (A) The facility’s staffing plan must include the number of staff required by the Contract and additional staff time, if required to meet the scheduled and unscheduled needs of the residents. (B) If the ABST staffing analysis indicates numbers higher than the Contract, the facility must staff to the numbers indicated by the ABST. (b) If certain residents within the facility are served under Contract, and other residents are not served by a Contract: (A) The facility must maintain a posted staffing plan that includes the staffing required for residents served by the Contract as well as the staffing required for residents not served by the Contract. (B) The facility must prepare two distinct ABST reports: one for residents served by the Contract and the other for residents not served by the Contract. (C) If the ABST indicates higher staffing numbers than the Contract for residents who are served by the Contract, the facility must staff to numbers indicated by the ABST. (c) If the facility has any residents funded by an exceptional payment, as provided in OAR 411-027-0050, that must be included in the ABST and the facility must staff to the greater of the exception or the ABST. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure 2 of 3 residents’ (#s 2 and 3) and multiple unsampled residents’ ABST evaluations were updated and reviewed before move- in and/or no less than quarterly at the same time the resident's service plan was updated, and failed to ensure distinct posted staffing plans for segregated areas to meet the scheduled and unscheduled needs of residents who resided in each of the distinct segregated areas. Findings include, but are not limited to: Upon survey entrance on 10/06/25 at 9:15 am, observations of construction being done at the residential care facility (RCF) were made and identified the following: The entrance to the main door was blocked, and the building interior was separated by two heavy doors that remained closed during the survey. Multiple staff reported they were not allowed to go through the doorway and were observed transporting residents in wheelchairs outside of one area and into the other side of the RCF through the back patio entrance door. During the environmental tour of the building the posted staffing plans for each area could not be located on either side of the building. Review of the facility ABST identified the ABST was not completed for each separate area to determine the number of staff needed to meet the scheduled and unscheduled needs of the residents in each area, and the facility was not staffing each area separately. During an interview on 10/07/25 at 10:00 am, Staff 2 (Interim ED) reported she didn’t realize since the door was installed inside the facility that it caused a separation of the building, which required a staffing plan for each separate area. The need to ensure the facility updated and reviewed the ABST prior to a resident moving in and no less than quarterly at the same time the resident ' s service plan was updated and to ensure distinct posted staffing plans for segregated areas was discussed with Staff 2 and Staff 3 (Business Office Director) on 10/07/25 at 4:30 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1.All residents have been re-evaluated in each area of the ABST with input from direct care staff, and will be updated in the ABST online by 11/15/25. 2. All residents' ABST questions will be re-evaluated and updated as part of their quarterly care plan. This has been added to the care plan evaluation procedure. Additionally, direct care staff will be trained on the ABST to ensure they communicate in real time when there are changes that would affect the ABST minutes This training will be complete no later than 11/30/25. 3. RN will review ABST statistics, for accuracy and timeliness monthly. 4. Administrator will review ABST statistics at least quarterly.

OAR 411-054-0200 (8) Heating and Ventilation (8) HEATING AND VENTILATION SYSTEMS. A RCF must have heating and ventilation systems that comply with the building codes in effect at the time of facility construction. (a) TEMPERATURE. For all areas occupied by residents, design temperature for construction must be 75 degrees Fahrenheit. (A) A RCF must provide heating systems capable of maintaining 70 degrees Fahrenheit in resident areas. Required minimum temperatures are no less than 70 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 60 degrees Fahrenheit during sleeping hours. (B) During times of extreme summer heat, fans must be made available when air conditioning is not provided. (b) EXHAUST SYSTEMS. All toilet and shower rooms must be equipped with a mechanical exhaust fan or central exhaust system that discharges to the outside. (c) FIREPLACES, FURNACES, WOODSTOVES, AND BOILERS. Where used, installation must meet standards of the building codes in effect at the time of construction. The glass and area surrounding the fireplace must not exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit. (d) WALL HEATERS. Covers, grates, or screens of wall heaters and associated heating elements may not exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit when they are installed in locations that are subject to incidental contact by people or with combustible material. Effective 01/15/2015, wall heaters are not acceptable in new construction or remodeling. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure covers, grates, or screens of wall heaters and associated heating elements did not exceed 120 degrees F when they were installed in locations that were subject to incidental contact by people or with combustible material. Findings include, but are not limited to: The residential care facility (RCF) was composed of a single-level building and one wing (eight rooms) in the adjacent two-story building. Observations were made of the interior of the facility from 10/06/25 through 10/08/25, and on 10/16/25. Resident apartments, common use restrooms and the staff breakroom in the single-level building had baseboard heaters controlled by a dial on the wall. On 10/06/25 at 2:09 pm, the temperature of the baseboard heaters in restroom 4 and apartment 1 were measured using a probe thermometer when the dial was in the highest position. The temperature readings were 144 degrees F, 126 degrees F, respectively. On 10/07/25 at 2:09 pm, this surveyor and Staff 4 (Maintenance Director) took additional temperature readings in apartment 13 and restroom 4 using a laser thermometer. Both baseboard heaters ranged from 125 degrees F to 155 degrees F. At this time, Staff 4 acknowledged the baseboard heaters exceeded 120 degrees F. On 10/16/25 at 11:53 am, the staff breakroom was toured, and the following was identified: A cardboard box of clothing and a plastic crate with Hoyer slings and gait belts stored in it was pushed up against the baseboard heater. Surveyor moved the items and turned on the wall dial thermostat. After a seven-minute time lapse the heater temperature measured 151.3 degrees F and was continuing to rise. On 10/16/25 at 2:00 pm the facility provided a plan to correct the deficient practice prior to survey exit. The need to ensure the covers, grates, or screens of wall heaters and associated heating elements did not exceed 120 degrees F was discussed with Staff 2 (Interim ED) and Staff 4 at 12:03 pm on 10/08/25 and 10/16/25 at 2:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. The baseboard heaters in resident rooms and bathrooms were measuring above 120 degrees using a laser thermometer. Maintenance Director checked all rooms to remove items within 12 inches above or in front of the baseboard heaters and staff check this daily. Facility tried several methods to reduce the temperatures (attempted to test locking thermostats, purchased and tested 2 different types of covers meant for safe touch use) and still the laser thermometer was recording temperatures significantly above 120. Due to suspected "mis-temping" a "ThermoWorks Pro-Surface Thermapen", with certificate of calibration was purchased. Rooms #1, #7, #12 and Bathroom #4 were all measured with the thermostat on high. Surface temps did not reach above 108/109 range even with thermostat at highest setting. 2. Maintenance Director will perform and document test of all baseboard heaters and record surface temperatures in each room/bathroom. Staff will continue to remove or report items that are within 12 inches above or in front of baseboard heaters. 3. Maintenance Director will audit all baseboard heaters once a month in the winter months, to ensure surface temperatures remain below 120. 4. Administrator will review MD monthly audits, and sample test at least 4 baseboard heaters quarterly.

(C) Corridor lighting must equal a minimum of 20-foot candles measured from the floor. (D) Table height lighting in dining rooms must equal a minimum of 25-foot candles, without light from windows. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the use of extension cords and other special taps was not permitted. Findings include, but are not limited to: During an environmental tour of the residential care facility (RCF) on 10/16/25, the following was observed: Extension cords, including electric power cords were used to extend the electric power source from main wall outlets in multiple resident units including unit numbers 4,18, and 24. The extension cord outlets were in full use, powering multiple appliances and other devices. The above findings were discussed with Staff 2 (Interim ED) and Staff 4 (Maintenance Director). Staff 2 stated she was aware the resident units had a limited number of wall outlets. She acknowledged the use of temporary wiring solutions such as extension cords posed a risk of overloaded circuits, potential fire and a tripping hazard. Staff 2 provided a plan to correct the deficient practice on 10/16/25 at 2:00 pm, prior to survey exit.

Plan of Correction

1.Residents were notified that extension cords, power strips and other special taps are prohibited. Many residents use these devices for medical equipment and necessary appliances. Maintenance Director has examined each room and attempted to make safer by inspecting for damage, removing any cords plugged into one another, keeping them away from water heat or pathways, and removed all cords that were in poor condition. 2. Current research is being done on how to add additional outlets in resident rooms. Staff will be educated on continuing to keep cords out of pathways and away from water and heat. 3. Maintenance Director will continue to follow up on options for additional wiring and submit to ownership. Until additional wiring can be added, Maintenance Director will perform safety checks on each room monthly and submit to Administration. 4. Administrator will review MD documentation quarterly and sample 4 resident rooms quarterly for safety in relation to wiring.

Adequate telephones must be available for resident, staff, and visitor use, including those individuals who have physical disabilities. If the only telephone is located in a staff area, it must be posted that the telephone is available for normal resident-use at any time and that staff shall ensure the resident's uninterrupted privacy. Staff may provide assistance when necessary or requested.(13) TELEVISION ANTENNA OR CABLE SYSTEM. A RCF must provide a television antenna or cable system with an outlet in each resident unit. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an exit door alarm or other acceptable system was provided to alert staff when residents exited the residential care facility (RCF). Findings include, but are not limited to: The interior and the exterior of the facility was toured between 10/06/25 and 10/08/25. The RCF was composed of a single-level building and one wing (eight rooms) in the adjacent two-story building. During the survey, the building was under construction with doors and hallways blocked for resident safety. Residents who resided in the wing of the two-story building had to exit from a side door and walk around the building to enter the single-level building for activities or to eat with other residents of the RCF. During the acuity interview on 10/06/25 at approximately 9:45 am, seven residents were identified to have cognitive decline, wandered, and/or would not be able to find their way back to the facility if they left independently. Review of the facility’s ABST Questionnaire, dated 10/06/25, indicated 14 of 34 residents required cognitive support. Resident 2 was identified in his/her service plan, dated 06/14/25, as having a diagnosis of dementia with disorientation to person, place, time or situation. The service plan stated that the resident “has poor judgement and should not leave the facility unsupervised.” Multiple staff interviewed on 10/07/25 confirmed that if the resident exited the facility s/he would not be able to find his/her way back independently. On 10/07/25 at 1:00 pm, Resident 2 was observed opening his/her apartment door and beginning to exit the room. The resident’s apartment was adjacent to an exit door that was propped open and lacking a method to alert staff if the resident exited the facility. On 10/07/25 at 2:09 pm, Staff 4 (Maintenance Director) reported the facility’s exit doors were alarmed nightly at 7:30 pm when the doors locked. Therefore, the facility lacked a system to alert staff when a resident exited the RCF prior to 7:30 pm. The need to ensure an exit door alarm or other acceptable system was provided to alert staff when residents exited the RCF was discussed with Staff 2 (Interim ED) and Staff 4 on 10/08/25 at 12:03 pm. They acknowledged the findings, and at 12:45 pm on 10/08/25 it was confirmed all exit doors were alarmed and would remain alarmed.

Plan of Correction

1. All exterior doors had been on a setting to alert our monitoring system from 9pm - 7am. Prior to the close of survey, the exterior doors were changed to alert our monitoring system 24/7. 2. The I-alert system will remain with the settings for 24/7 alerts for exterior doors. 3. MD will test all exterior doors to ensure they are alerting our monitoring system, no less than monthly. 4. Administrator will review MD records and test doors at least quarterly.

OAR411-004-0020(2)(e) Individual Door Locks: Key Access (2) Provider owned, controlled, or operated residential settings must have all of the following qualities: (e) Units must have entrance doors lockable by the individual, with the individual and only appropriate staff having a key to access the unit. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure 1 of 3 sampled residents (#3) and one unsampled resident had a key to their unit. Findings include, but are not limited to: a. During an observation and interview on 10/09/25 at 11:18 am with Resident 3, it was determined the resident did not have a key to his/her unit. The resident showed the surveyor the keys provided to him/her which was only a mailbox key. During a follow up interview with Staff 3 (Business Office Director) and Staff 6 (Community Relations Director) on 10/10/25 at 10:30 am, both staffed stated “we don't have residents sign for receiving keys at move in.” Staff 3 stated “this is not something we have ever done in the past.” Staff 6 stated "as part of Marketing I do admissions, give tours and tell them an approximate bill amount, I have a checklist for a potential new resident.” Review of a blank copy of the resident move in checklist identified there was no indication the facility discussed or provided any type of keys to new residents. Review of Resident 3’s service plan dated 07/10/25 and updated on 08/10/25 did not have information regarding access to keys to his/her unit. b. During a group interview of five unsampled residents on 10/08/25 at 1:30 pm, an unsampled resident stated that s/he had never received a key to his/her room. During a follow-up interview on 10/10/25, the resident confirmed that s/he did not have a key to his/her room despite having requested a key from facility management multiple times in the past. The need to ensure residents had a key to access their unit was reviewed with Staff 2 (Interim ED) on 10/09/25 at 1:45 pm. She acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. The residents that were identified in the survey, were re-issued any keys to their apartment, lock box and mail box that they were missing. 2. All other resident's are to be audited to ensure they have all necesary keys. BOD will complete key forms and residents will be re-issued any keys they are missing. Residents will be educated that if they lose a key, they may contact the BOD to get a replacement. 3. BOD will review a sample of the new move in key forms to ensure complete and a sample of residents to ensure they have all necessary keys, at least quarterly. 4. Administrator will review BODs documentation of the sample audits quarterly.
