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 interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure all resident incidents were promptly investigated to rule out abuse and/or neglect and reported to the local SPD office if abuse and/or neglect could not reasonably be ruled out for 1 of 1 sampled resident (# 1) with incidents which required an investigation. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 11/2019 with diagnoses including transient ischemic attack (brief stroke like attack), congestive heart failure and fall risk. The service plan dated 08/06/24 noted Resident 1 required one person assist for dressing, bathing, transfers, and escorts in a wheelchair. The service plan also noted Resident 1 was at risk of falls, and of suffering severe injury from a fall, care staff were to monitor for falls more than once a shift, remind resident to use her/his call pendent, and provide a safe environment that was clutter free and personal items were within reach. Review of the resident's 06/10/24 through 09/05/24 progress notes, and incident reports for the same time period were conducted during the survey. Resident 1 had the following unwitnessed falls: * On 06/30/24 the resident was found lying down on the floor between her/his recliner and the window and sustained a left shoulder fracture. * On 09/02/24 Resident 1 was found on the ground between the toilet and shower. The resident was sent to the ED for an evaluation due to the resident complained of pressure to the back of her/his head. The facility completed investigations at the time of the unwitnessed falls and determined the resident was unable to state how s/he ended up on the floor. The investigations did not rule out abuse and/or neglect, and the incidents were not reported to the local SPD office. On 09/10/24, survey requested the facility report the incidents to the local SPD office. At approximately 11:07 AM on 09/10/24, confirmation of the facility reporting the incident to the local SPD office was provided. On 09/10/24 at 3:30 PM, the need to ensure all incidents for which abuse and/or neglect could not be ruled out were reported to the local SPD office was discussed with Staff 1 (Executive Director) and Staff 2 (Business Office manager). 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 interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure short-term changes of condition were evaluated, resident-specific interventions determined and documented, those actions conveyed to staff on all shifts, and the conditions monitored at least weekly through resolution for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1, 2 and 3) who had documented changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 07/2020 with diagnoses including atrial fibrillation, cardiac pacemaker, and acute renal failure. Review of Resident 2’s service plan, dated 07/09/24, and progress notes, dated 06/09/24 through 09/09/24, revealed the following changes of condition: *A progress note dated 06/26/24, reported a CG had seen a “smear of blood when wiping the bottom”; and *A progress note dated 07/18/24, identified the resident had an episode of “nausea, vomiting, loose stool, and stomach spasms”. There was no documented evidence the conditions were evaluated and monitored, with necessary interventions developed and conveyed to staff, and progress noted at least weekly, to resolution. On 09/10/24 at 3:45 pm, the need to ensure short-term changes of condition were evaluated, necessary resident-specific interventions determined and documented, those actions conveyed to staff on all shifts, and the conditions were monitored, at least weekly, through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Business Office Manager). They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 11/2019 with diagnoses including transient ischemic attack (brief stroke like attack), congestive heart failure and fall risk. During the acuity interview on 09/09/24, Resident 1 was identified as being on a puree texture diet. Resident 1's progress notes, dated 08/27/24 through 09/05/24 were reviewed and interviews with staff revealed the following changes of condition: *08/27/24 – The resident was noted to chew and spit out regular texture foods, trial of puree texture initiated; and *08/28/24 – Physician order for change of diet texture from regular to mechanical soft texture. There was no documented evidence the facility monitored the changes of condition at least weekly until resolved. On 09/10/24 at 2:25 PM, Staff 8 (Certified Caregiver/MT) confirmed there was no documentation of monitoring the trial of puree texture. The need to monitor and document at least weekly until changes of condition were resolved was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Business Office Manager) on 09/10/24 at 3:30 PM. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 3 moved into the facility in 07/2024 with diagnoses including right heel pressure ulcer, permanent atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease. Staff were interviewed and the resident's record was reviewed including the current service plan dated 09/02/24 and temporary care plans, task updates, and progress notes dated 07/30/24 through 09/10/24. The facility failed to determine resident-specific actions or interventions needed, communicate the action or intervention to staff on each shift, and/or document weekly progress until the condition resolved for the following conditions: * 07/30/24 – New move-in; * 07/30/24 – Bruises and scabs to right and left lower extremities; * 08/20/24 – Ongoing medication refusals; and * 09/01/24 – Significant weight gain. The need to ensure the facility determined and documented what action or interventions were needed for changes of condition, the interventions were communicated to staff on all shifts, and the changes of condition were monitored at least weekly through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Business Office Manager) in-person and Staff 3 (Director of Health and Wellness/RN) via phone at 12:40 pm on 09/10/24. They acknowledged the findings.
