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 promptly investigate incidents to rule out abuse or neglect and report incidents to the local Seniors and People with Disabilities (SPD) office, if abuse or neglect could not be ruled out, for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#4) who had a modified diet and an unwitnessed injury fall. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 05/2023 with diagnoses including essential hypertension, syncope and collapse, urinary incontinence, degenerative disease of nervous system, and right knee pain. Resident 4’s progress notes and temporary service plans dated 07/02/24 through 10/19/24, physician orders, and incident reports were reviewed, the following was identified: a. The resident’s initial physician order for a mechanical soft diet was dated 05/17/24. A progress note, dated 07/17/24, identified the resident “…[choked] on [his/her] dinner because the kitchen provided solid foods when resident [was] on a mechanical soft diet.” There was no documented evidence the facility promptly investigated this incident to rule out abuse or neglect or that the incident was reported to the local SPD office. On 10/23/24 at 11:34 am, Staff 3 (Associate Wellness Director) and Staff 4 (Resident Service Director) confirmed the incident was not investigated or reported to local SPD. b. An incident report dated 09/11/24 indicated the resident had an unwitnessed fall with a head injury on 09/10/24 and was sent to the emergency department. A temporary service plan indicated the resident returned to the facility on 09/12/24. The investigation dated 09/18/24 revealed an investigation was not completed promptly to rule out abuse and neglect and did not have documentation for all required components. Additionally, the incident was not reported to local SPD. On 10/23/24 at 11:34 am, the documented investigation was reviewed with Staff 3 and Staff 4. They acknowledged the lack of information documented in the investigation and confirmed this incident was not reported to local SPD. The facility was asked to report both events to the local SPD office prior to survey exit. The need to promptly investigate injuries of unknown cause with all required components and report the incidents to the local SPD office if abuse or neglect could not be ruled out was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) on 10/23/24 at 12:58 pm. She acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. The incident from 5/12/2024 and from 9/11/2024 both regarding resident #4 have been reported to the local SPD office. 2. Each working morning the ED, WD and/or the AWD will review and investigate incident reports to see if abuse/neglect can be ruled out then sent to APS if needed. They will also review alert charting to see if something is needing an incident report that doesn't have one. 3. Each working day of the ED, WD and/or the AWD. 4. ED, WD and AWD.

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 residents who had significant changes of condition were evaluated, referred to the RN for an assessment and service plans updated as needed and failed to determine and document what action or interventions were needed for residents, actions or interventions communicated to staff on each shift and progress noted at least weekly through resolution for 2 of 5 sampled residents (#s 2 and 4) reviewed with changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 11/2021 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease. Interviews and reviews of the resident's 07/18/24 through 10/19/24 progress notes, 08/26/24 service plan, temporary service plans and physician’s orders revealed the resident experienced the following short-term changes of condition: * 07/19/24 - Bump to the head and skin tear to right arm; * 08/23/24 - Friction area to right medial thigh; * 08/30/24 – Suicidal ideation; * 09/12/24 – Aggressive behaviors; * 09/13/24 – Medication order changes: discontinue hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg (for pain) every six hours, start hydrocodone-acetaminophen 10-325 mg every six hours, start dermaseptin (for skin irritation) twice daily, start haloperidol lacate 2 mg/ml (for agitation and hallucinations); * 09/16/24 – Medication order change: discontinue haloperidol lactate 2 mg/ml three times daily; and * 09/19/24 – Medication order changes: start haloperidol lactate 2 mg/ml two times daily, discontinue hydrocodone-acetaminophen 10-325 mg every six hours while awake, start hydrocodone-acetaminophen 7.5-325 mg every six hours while awake, discontinue mirtazapine 45 mg (for depression) every evening, start mirtazapine 30 mg every evening. There was no documented evidence the facility determined and documented resident specific actions or interventions needed related to the skin concerns, suicidal ideation, behaviors or medications order changes, communicated interventions to staff on each shift, or monitored the conditions with the progress noted at least weekly through resolution. The need to ensure residents who experienced short term changes of condition were evaluated to determine if actions or interventions were needed, actions or interventions were communicated to staff on each shift and documented at least weekly with progress noted until the condition resolved was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) on 10/23/24 at 12:12pm. She acknowledged the findings. C270: BW - example 2. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 05/2023 with diagnoses including essential hypertension, syncope and collapse, urinary incontinence, degenerative disease of nervous system, and right knee pain. Clinical records, including the current service plan, dated 10/08/24, and progress notes dated, 07/02/24 through 10/19/24, were reviewed. Interviews with the resident and staff were conducted, the following was identified: The following short-term change of condition lacked documentation the facility determined what resident-specific action or intervention was needed for the resident, communicated the determined action or intervention to staff, and documented weekly progress until the condition resolved: * 07/17/24 - Resident 4 “…[choked] on [his/her] dinner because the kitchen provided solid foods when resident [was] on a mechanical soft diet.” The need to ensure the facility determined what resident-specific action or intervention was needed for the resident following a short-term change of condition, communicated the determined action or intervention to staff, and documented progress until the condition resolved was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) on 10/23/24 at 12:58 pm. She acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. Medication changes have been updated and verified with hospice for resident #2 and resident #4. Verified diet orders for resident number #4 with DSD. Skin sheets were reviewed for resident #4 to ensure all current skin issues are being followed. 2. Skin log is being use for all current skin concern until resolved. RSD and hospice had a conversation on how order changes will be communitcated. AWD and WD will conversate with DSD with all diet orders changes. 3. Daily and as needed. 4. AWD and WD.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents who had changes of condition were evaluated and referred to the RN for an assessment for 1 of 4 sampled residents (#8) reviewed with changes of condition. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 8 was admitted to the facility in 12/2022 with diagnoses including atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and cardiomyopathy. Interviews and reviews of the resident's 12/22/24 through 1/23/25 progress notes, 10/17/24 service plan, temporary service plans and physician’s orders revealed: The 12/23/24 “Weights and vitals summary” showed Resident 8 was weighed at 9:17 am and weighed 144.8 lbs. The electronic documented automatically noted “Warning: change (comparison weight 12/04/24, 153 lbs, -5.4%, -8.2 lbs) - indicating Resident 8 had lost over 5% of their body weight in less than 30 days. The next day Resident 8 was weighed at 144.3 lbs, confirming the weight loss and again triggering a warning. The weight loss was not evaluated, not referred to the RN for assessment, and the service plan was not updated. Meal observations on 1/22/25 and 1/23/25 showed Resident 8 eating independently in the dining room, with approximately 75% of the meal consumed each time. Resident 8 was weighed on 01/13/25 at 148 lbs. The need to evaluate changes of condition and refer to the facility RN for assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (Executive Director) and Staff 2 (Resident Services Director) on 1/23/25. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. Resident number 8 who was admitted to hospice and had weight loss has had a significant change of condition assessment completed. 2. Significant changes will be reported to RN as soon as possible and within the 48-hour window. All significant change of condition assessments will be completed by RN within 48 hours. Resident Servies Director and Wellness Director to follow up to ensure the assessment is done within 48 hours. 3. Weekly, monthly and needed. 4. Resident Services Director and Wellness Director.

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 interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN completed a timely assessment that documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#3), who experienced significant changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 moved into the facility in 03/2023 with diagnoses including atrial fibrillation and unspecified dementia. a. Progress notes dated 06/27/24 to 10/19/24 and weight records from 04/14/24 to 08/16/24 were reviewed during the survey. Weight records reviewed identified the following: * 04/14/24 -135 pounds; * 06/14/24 – 140 pounds; * 07/12/24 – 148 pounds; and * 08/16/24 – 135.2 pounds. Between 04/14/24 and 07/12/24 Resident 3 gained 13 pounds or 9.62 % total body weight within three months. This constituted a severe weight gain which required an RN assessment. There was no documented evidence an RN completed an assessment for the severe weight gain. During an interview with Staff 2 (RN) on 10/22/24 confirmed she had not completed an assessment for the weight gain identified on 07/12/24. Staff 2 stated she was aware of the weight gain and had contacted the resident’s physician. Between 07/12/24 and 08/16/24 the resident lost 12.8 pounds or 8.65% total body weight within one month. This constituted a severe weight loss within one month which required an RN assessment. Staff 2 completed an untimely RN assessment on 09/06/24. b. Resident 3 went to the emergency room on 08/16/24 and returned on 08/23/24 with a new diagnosis. Staffed documented in progress notes the following information: * On 08/26/24 – “Resident had slight difficulty swallowing pills”; * On 08/26/24 – “Resident stated the [s/he] feels different than before”; * On 08/29/24 – “[Resident] said [s/he] is too sick to get up and shower”; * On 08/31/23 – “Resident has been having full incontinence of [his/her] bladder and bowels in [his/her] bed. This is not baseline [s/he] is usually able to tell when [s/he] needs to use the restroom, this started when [s/he] came home from the hospital on 08/23/24”; and * On 09/01/24 – “Resident has been urinating and having BM’s [bowel movements] and not calling staff to let them help, this has been going on for several days now and is not usual for [him/her].” Resident 3 had a second emergency room visit on 09/27/24 and returned on 10/02/24 with a new diagnosis including respiratory failure and was referred to hospice services. The decline in health status and ADL ability documented on 08/23/24 constituted a significant change on condition that required an RN assessment. There was no documented RN assessment completed until the resident was admitted to hospice services on 10/04/24. The need to ensure RN assessments for residents who experienced significant changes of condition were done timely and included documentation of findings, resident status, condition and any interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (RN) and Staff 3 (Associate Wellness Director) on 10/23/24 at 10:58 am. They acknowledged the findings.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN completed a timely assessment that documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#8), who experienced significant changes of condition. This is a repeat citation. Findings include but are not limited to: Resident 8 was admitted to the facility in 12/2022 with diagnoses including atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and cardiomyopathy. Interviews and reviews of the resident's 12/22/24 through 1/23/25 progress notes, 10/17/24 service plan, temporary service plans and physician’s orders revealed: The 12/23/24 “Weights and vitals summary” showed Resident 8 was weighed at 9:17 am and weighed 144.8 lbs. The electronic documented automatically noted “Warning: change (comparison weight 12/04/24 = 153 lbs, -5.4%, -8.2 lbs)” - indicating Resident 8 had lost over 5% of their body weight in less than 30 days. There was no documented evidence an RN assessed the significant weight loss. There were no updates to Resident 8’s service plan or interventions developed. Meal observations on 1/22/25 and 1/23/25 showed Resident 8 eating independently in the dining room, with aproximately 75% of the meal consumed in each instance. Resident 8 was weighed on 01/13/25 at 148 lbs. The need to ensure RN assessments for residents who experienced significant changes of condition was discussed with Staff 1 (Executive Director) and Staff 2 (Resident Services Director) on 01/23/25. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. Weekly RN notes and interventions have been docuemnted since the significant change of condition was identified for resident #8. 2. Review notes and changes of conditions weekly and as needed.

If the washers are full then I put it back in a bag and set it over there [pointing to the corner of the laundry room]. I like to take a wad of paper towel and wipe the interior of the washing machine. If nothing brown comes off, then I’m good to go to put another resident’s laundry in the washer.” During an interview on 10/21/24 at 10:45 am, Staff 11 (Plant Operation Director) reported the laundry rinse temperature was less than 140 degrees and there was no chemical disinfectant used.
