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 observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to report injuries of unknown cause to the local Seniors and People with Disabilities (SPD) office, or the local Area Agency on Aging (AAA), as suspected abuse, unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably concluded and documented that the physical injuries were not the result of abuse, for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#3) with injuries. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 04/2025 with diagnoses including insulin-dependent diabetes and Wernicke dementia. During an interview with the resident on 10/27/25 at 11:15 am, two surveyors observed that Resident 3 had an approximate 1X.5 cm open wound on his/her left shin, a 1X.5 cm open wound on the right side of his/her lower leg, and .5 cm open wound on his/her right 4th toe. When asked, Resident 3 stated s/he was unsure how the injuries occurred. There was no documentation in the resident's record regarding the wounds. Incident investigations were requested during the survey. On 10/29/25 at 1:40 pm, Staff 2 (Assistant Manager) reported no incident investigations had been completed regarding the injuries. The injuries to Resident 3's legs and toe represented incidents that should have been reported to the local SPD office or the local AAA unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably concluded and documented that the physical injuries were not the result of abuse. There was no documented evidence the facility either reported the incidents or immediately investigated the incidents and ruled out abuse. The incidents were reviewed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 on 10/29/25 at 2:40 pm. They stated they were not aware of the injuries and had not reported or investigated the incidents. The surveyor directed the facility to self-report the incidents to the local SPD or AAA office as suspected abuse. Confirmation the facility reported the incidents was received on 10/29/25.

OAR 411-054-0030 (1)(c-d) Resident Services: Activities (c) A daily program of social and recreational activities that are based upon individual and group interests, physical, mental, and psychosocial needs, and creates opportunities for active participation in the community at large; (d) Equipment, supplies and space to meet individual and group activity needs; This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to provide a daily program of social and recreational activities based upon individual and group interests, physical, mental, and psychosocial needs, and that created opportunities for active participation for residents who resided on the first floor. Findings include, but are not limited to: The MCC was a two-story building and was home to 33 residents: 15 residing on the first floor and 18 residing on the second floor. The facility had an elevator allowing residents the opportunity to move between floors; however, it was not safely working during the survey. According to Staff 1 (ED) and resident council notes, the elevator had not been working properly since 06/2025. The activity calendar provided on 10/27/25 revealed multiple activities that would occur during the survey. Observations on 10/27/25 and 10/28/25 revealed activities occurred on the second floor, but none on the first floor. Most residents on the first floor remained in their rooms or were sitting in the common area with the television on. During an interview on 10/29/25 at 12:35 pm, Staff 3 (Activities Director) stated the elevator was currently not being used to transport residents between floors. He said that most activities were held on the second floor because “the residents are more engaged and ask for activities.” Failure to provide a daily activity program of social and recreational activities based on individual and group interests, physical, mental, and psychosocial needs, and that created opportunities for active participation in the community at large was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (Assistant Manager) on 10/29/25 at 2:20 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

On October 30th we had our resident council, hosted by the Activities Director, Chef, Executive Director and as a guest the Ombudsman. Our main topics were activities and how we will engage more participation. A Activities Survey was created by out Activities Director to increase more participation based on a personal level preference .The number of activities has been equally split on both floors, and we have noticed an immediate increase in participation. Also, the activities director enrolled for a Life Enrichment webinar from Oregon Care Partners on November 13, 2025 - 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM. Executive Director will have a weekly meeting with Activities Director to make sure all expectations are met.

OAR 411-054-0045 (1)(f)(B) RN Delegation and Teaching (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:(B) Delegation and Teaching. Delegation and teaching must be provided and documented by a RN in accordance with the Oregon Administrative Rules adopted by the Oregon State Board of Nursing in chapter 851, division 047. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure delegation and supervision of special tasks of nursing care was completed in accordance with Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) Division 47 rules for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#3) reviewed for delegation. Findings include, but are not limited to: According to OSBN Division 47 Administrative Rules, delegation means an RN authorizes an unlicensed person to perform tasks of nursing care and indicates the authorization in writing. The delegation process includes nursing assessment of the client in a specific situation, evaluation of the ability of the unlicensed persons, teaching the nursing procedure, and observing the staff demonstrate the task. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 04/2025 with diagnoses including insulin-dependent diabetes and Wernicke dementia. Resident 3 had physician orders for the following: * Blood sugar checks before meals and at bedtime; * Insulin Aspart (rapid acting insulin) 20 units via PEN three times a day before meals; * Insulin Glargine (long-acting insulin) 70 units via PEN once a day before breakfast; and * PRN Insulin Aspart 10 units via PEN once daily as needed for blood sugar of 400 or greater. According to the resident’s MAR, reviewed from 10/01/25 through 10/27/25, MAs initialed that they were checking the resident’s CBGs and administering insulin. However, during interviews with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (Assistant Manager) on 10/28/25, and Staff 4 (MA) on 10/29/25, they stated staff checked the resident’s CBGs, determined the amount of insulin to be given, dialed the appropriate dose on the insulin pen, handed it to the resident, and observed him/her inject the medication. Delegation documentation was requested on 10/28/25. On 10/28/25 at 3:20 pm, Staff 1 informed the survey team that he was unable to find delegation for any of the MAs. He further stated he called the facility RN responsible for delegation, and she reported that staff had not been delegated. The facility RN responsible for delegation was not present at the facility during the survey. On 10/29/25 at 9:30 am, Staff 1 informed the survey team that the facility RN came in at 5:30 am that morning, delegated two MAs, and would delegate the rest of the MAs as soon as possible. He stated MAs would be performing both the CBGs and administering the insulin moving forward. Copies of the delegation were provided to the survey team. The need to ensure staff were delegated in accordance with OSBN Division 47 Rules was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 2 on 10/29/25 at 2:40 pm. They acknowledged the findings. Additional information regarding CBC Delegation Division 47 – OSBN Nurse Practice Act Standards for Community-Based Care Registered Nurse Delegation was provided to Staff 1.

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 sampled resident (#2) whose MARs and Controlled Substance Drug Disposition logs were reviewed for accuracy. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 moved into the MCC in 01/2011 and had diagnoses which included dementia and chronic pain and had recently been admitted to hospice services. Resident 2 had an order for oxycodone HCL (narcotic analgesic) 5 mg, one tablet every four hours PRN pain or shortness of breath. Resident 2's Controlled Substance Disposition Logs and MARs, reviewed from 10/01/25 through 10/27/25, revealed 14 occasions when staff signed on the drug disposition log that the oxycodone was given. However, the MAR lacked documentation that the resident received the medication. Inconsistencies between the MARs and Controlled Substance Disposition logs were reviewed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (Assistant Manager) on 10/29/25 at 2:30 pm. They reviewed the documentation and acknowledged the discrepancies.

As of 11/7/2025 all Med-Tech went under full training on proper documentation for full controlled Substances Disposition Logs and Mars. A weekly audit will be reviewed by the Resident Care Coordinator. Facility RN reviewed and updated protocols related to medication destruction with new recording system. As of 11/7/25 all residents’ physicians have been faxed a form to request how often they would like to be notified when a resident refuses their medication and our medication Refusal policy has been updated, reviewed it and signed by all med-tech. A weekly audit will be conducted by Resident Care Coordinator these requirements are met.

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 MARs were accurate for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#3) whose medications were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the MCC in 04/2025 with diagnoses including insulin-dependent diabetes and Wernicke dementia. Resident 3 had physician orders for the following: * Insulin Aspart (rapid acting insulin) 20 units via PEN three times a day before meals; * Insulin Glargine (long acting insulin) 70 units via PEN once a day before breakfast; and * PRN Insulin Aspart 10 units via PEN once daily as needed for blood sugar of 400 or greater. According to the resident’s MARs, reviewed from 10/01/25 through 10/27/25, MAs initialed that they were administering insulin. However, during interviews with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (Assistant Manager) on 10/28/25, and Staff 4 (MA) on 10/29/25, they stated staff checked the resident’s CBGs, determined the amount of insulin to be given, dialed the appropriate dose on the insulin pen, handed it to the resident, and observed him/her inject the medication. The MARs did not indicate that the resident self-injected his/her insulin. In an interview on 10/28/25 at 10:10 am, Staff 4 reviewed the MAR. She verified that staff did not administer the insulin even though the MAR indicated they did. The need for the facility to ensure MARs were accurate was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (Assistant Manager) on 10/29/25 at 2:40 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

OAR 411-054-0055 (5) Systems: Self-Administration of Meds (5) SELF ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION.(a) Residents who choose to self-administer their medications must be evaluated upon move-in and at least quarterly thereafter, to assure ability to safely self-administer medications.(b) Residents must have a physician's or other legally recognized practitioner's written order of approval for self-administration of prescription medications.(c) Residents able to administer their own medication regimen may keep prescription medications in their unit.(d) If more than one resident resides in the unit, an evaluation must be made of each person and the resident's ability to safely have medications in the unit. If safety is a factor, the medications must be kept in a locked container in the unit.(e) Unless contraindicated by a physician or resident evaluation, residents may keep and use over-the-counter medications in their unit without a written order. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents who chose to self-administer their medications were evaluated quarterly for safety and ensure physician's orders were in place for the self-administration of prescription medications for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#3) who self-administered insulin. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the MCC in 04/2025 with diagnoses including insulin-dependent diabetes and Wernicke dementia. Resident 3 had physician orders for the following: * Insulin Aspart (rapid acting insulin) 20 units via PEN three times a day before meals; * Insulin Glargine (long-acting insulin) 70 units via PEN once a day before breakfast; and * PRN Insulin Aspart 10 units via PEN once daily as needed for blood sugar of 400 or greater.

A review of the clinical record revealed the following: * The initial move-in evaluation, dated 04/15/25, indicated the resident had “good hand dexterity” to use an insulin pen and was “able to self-inject.” However, additional evaluations, dated 05/15/25 and 08/15/25, lacked information about the resident’s continued ability to safely self-administer his/her insulin; and * There was no signed order from a legally recognized practitioner for the resident to self-administer insulin. Additional information was requested during the survey. In an interview on 10/29/25 at 9:30 am, Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (Assistant Manager) stated the evaluation had not been completed quarterly nor was there an order from a legally recognized practitioner for the resident to self-administer insulin. The need to ensure residents were evaluated at least quarterly for their ability to safely self-administer prescription medications and to have a current signed order for self-administration was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 2 on 10/29/25 at 2:40 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

Patio furniture was easily moveable and not sufficient weight to prevent potential elopement. On 10/28/25 the six chairs were immediately removed by the Executive Director and will be reinstalled next spring with a safety security system in place to prevent the chairs to be used as a tool for elopement. Our building metal fence was found to be less than 6 feet in height with sections measuring 71 inches tall. Executive Director reached out to Jeanne Bristol to request an extended time to find a vendor, budget approval and project to be completed. On 11/12/2025 Jeanne Bristol approved two additional months for this citation. Our AOC date is no later than 12/28/2025. We are grateful for your support and are giving us two additional months.
