OAR 411-054-0045(2) Res Hlth Srvc: On- and Off-Site Health Srvc (2) ON-SITE AND OFF-SITE HEALTH SERVICES. 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 interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure management or the licensed nurse was notified of the services provided by the outside provider to ensure that staff were informed of new interventions, that the service plan was adjusted if necessary, and that reporting protocols were in place for 1 of 1 resident (#2) who received HH services. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 moved into the MCC in 02/2022 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease. Staff reported in the acuity interview on 04/20/26 the resident had a history of falls, including an unwitnessed fall with bilateral knee pain, and was currently receiving HH PT services. The resident’s 01/15/26 to 04/20/26 clinical record was reviewed, including HH PT notes. The following was identified: * 03/11/26—HH PT documented the resident’s heart rate was “consistently high[,] above 90 [beats per minute]”; * 03/18/26—HH PT documented exercises were provided for CGs to implement; and * 03/24/26—HH PT documented the resident was discharged from HH PT services. There was no documented evidence facility management or the licensed nurse reviewed the above HH PT notes. There was no documented evidence that reporting protocols were in place to notify facility management or licensed nurse regarding the HH PT report of the resident’s heart rate, the service plan was adjusted with HH PT exercises/recommendations, or that staff were notified of the HH PT discharge. In an interview at 1:46 pm on 04/20/26, Staff 8 (MT) stated outside providers left notes with the MT on shift and verbally spoke with the MTs regarding services provided. She stated, “as far as I know” Resident 2 was still receiving PT services. The need to ensure management or the licensed nurse was notified of the services provided by the outside provider to ensure that staff were informed of new interventions, that the service plan was adjusted if necessary, and that reporting protocols were in place was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator/RN) at 11:07 am on 04/22/26. He acknowledged the findings.

OAR 411-054-0050(1-5) Infection Prevention & Control (Amended 03/18/2022)(1) Facilities must establish and maintain infection prevention and control protocols to provide a safe, sanitary and comfortable environment. This includes protocols to prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases.(2) Each facility must designate an individual to be the facility ' s "Infection Control Specialist" responsible for carrying out the infection prevention and control protocols and serving as the primary point of contact for the Department regarding disease outbreaks. The Infection Control Specialist must:(a) Be qualified by education, training and experience or certification; and(b) Complete specialized training in infection prevention and control protocols within three months of being designated under this paragraph, unless the designee has received the specialized training within the 24-month period prior to the time of the designation. The Department will describe trainings that will be acceptable to meet the specialized training requirement in rule, by January 1, 2022.(3) Each facility must establish infection prevention and control protocols and have an Infection Control Specialist, trained as required in this rule, by July 1, 2022.(4) Facilities must comply with masking requirements as prescribed in OAR 333-019-1011 or, if applicable, OAR 437-001-0744, to control the spread of COVID-19.(5) Facilities must comply with vaccination requirements for COVID-19 as prescribed in OAR 333-019-1010.Stat. Auth.: ORS 410.070, 443.004, 443.012, 443.450Stats. Implemented: ORS 443.004, 443.400-443.455, 443.991 This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to follow established infection prevention and control protocols to ensure a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#1) whose ADL care was observed and 1 of 1 sampled resident (#2) and multiple unsampled residents whose meal service was observed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the memory care community in 07/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. During the acuity interview on 04/20/26, the resident was identified as needing assistance for all ADLs and was “bed bound.” On 04/21/26 at 11:37 am, the surveyor observed Staff 6 (CG) and Staff 13 (MT) assist the resident with incontinence care in his/her bed. Both staff members donned cleaned gloves. Staff prepared for the task by removing a doll, a top sheet, a blanket, and pillows being used to elevate Resident 1’s heels. Staff collected a clean brief and chucks pad, disposable wipes, and barrier cream. Staff unfastened the resident’s briefs and removed the soiled brief while assisting the resident to roll to his/her side on the chucks pad that was under the resident. Staff 13 used wipes to provide perineal care following a small bowel movement. Both staff members assisted Resident 1 to get in the middle of the bed by using the resident’s bottom sheet to slide him/her up. They assisted the resident to roll to the other direction and Staff 6 completed the cleaning task, removed the soiled chucks pad, and threw the soiled brief, chucks pad, and used wipes in the garbage can. Some of the items fell on the floor, so he picked them up and placed those in the garbage as well. Staff 6 changed his soiled gloves at that time. Staff 13 was not observed to change her gloves or perform hand hygiene after the incontinence task had been completed. She was observed to touch a clean sheet, pillows, a blanket, place the doll with the resident, touch the bed remote, and push the bed back against the wall. No hand hygiene had been performed prior to touching the non-soiled items. Staff 6 removed the garbage can liner where the soiled items were put and tied it in a knot. He replaced the liner and doffed his gloves. No hand hygiene was observed prior to Staff 6 and Staff 13 exiting the resident’s room. A housekeeper was observed at approximately 1:30 pm to look inside of Resident 1’s apartment but did not enter the room to clean the area where the soiled items were dropped onto the floor. The need to ensure infection prevention and control protocols were followed was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator/RN) and Staff 3 (RCC) on 04/22/26 at 10:45 am. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Observations of meal service conducted on 04/20/26 at 12:00 pm showed the following: Staff 3 (RCC) was observed at the counter of the kitchenette wearing single-use gloves, serving residents, including Resident 2 and unsampled residents, food from large serving pans. While serving, she was observed to eat some of the French fries from one of the pans, as well as drink from a personal beverage located to the left of the serving pans. Wearing the same single-use gloves, she continued to serve residents food. The need to ensure the facility maintained infection prevention and control protocols was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator/RN) at 11:07 am on 04/22/26. He acknowledged the findings.

OAR411-004-0020(2)(d) Individual Privacy: Own Unit (2) Provider owned, controlled, or operated residential settings must have all of the following qualities: (d) Each individual has privacy in his or her own unit. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents had privacy in their own units for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#3) and multiple unsampled residents who lived in the MCC. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. The MCC included three double occupancy units: 168, 171, and 173. Review of the current resident roster on 04/20/26 showed all three units were 100% occupied. Observations of the rooms made on 04/20/26 showed no method to ensure privacy between the residents’ sections of the unit. Review of Resident 3’s service plan, last updated 04/02/26, showed no documented evidence of a system to ensure privacy in his/her unit. In an interview at 9:25 am on 04/21/26, Staff 6 (CG) stated when providing dressing and other ADL assistance to Resident 3, he had to wait for the resident’s roommate to leave the room to ensure privacy. The need to ensure residents had privacy in their own units was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator/RN) at 11:07 am on 04/22/26. He acknowledged the findings. 2. The memory care unit was located inside of an assisted living facility. One way to access the unit was to go through the Bistro Café. The café overlooked the assisted living courtyard, and multiple apartment windows were visible. An unsampled resident was observed to reside in the memory care unit, in an apartment that was immediately inside the unit by the main door. On 04/21/26 at approximately 9:45 am, the inside of the unsampled resident’s apartment, located in the memory care unit, was observed from the assisted living facility’s Bistro Café. The blinds inside of the apartment were raised. There were no window coverings observed in the café. On 04/21/26 and 04/22/26, multiple observations were made of the resident in his/her unit, including while s/he was laying in bed sleeping. On 04/22/26 at 11:43 am, Staff 1 (Administrator/RN) and Staff 3 (RCC) confirmed that the unsampled resident was independent in ADLs. On 04/22/26 at approximately 12:55 pm, Staff 2 (ED) confirmed that all the memory care unit apartments had windows that either faced the courtyard accessible to the assisted living facility or to the street. The need to ensure each resident had privacy in his or her own unit was reviewed with Staff 1, Staff 2, and Staff 3 on 04/22/26. They acknowledged the findings.
