OAR 411-054-0025 (9) Facility Administration: Quality Improvement (9) QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. The facility must develop and conduct an ongoing quality improvement program that evaluates services, resident outcomes, and resident satisfaction. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to develop and conduct an ongoing quality improvement program that evaluated services, resident outcomes, and resident satisfaction. Findings include, but are not limited to: During the relicensure survey, conducted 01/27/25 through 01/30/25, the quality improvement oversight for ensuring adequate resident care, services, and satisfaction was found to be ineffective as evidenced by the number and severity of the citations. In an interview on 01/30/25 at 5:40 pm, with Staff 1 (Administrator), it was confirmed the facility did not have a quality improvement or quality assurance program in place or implemented. The need to ensure the facility conducted an ongoing quality improvement program that evaluated services, resident outcome and satisfaction was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 2 (Assistant Administrator) on 01/30/25. They acknowledged the findings.

OAR 411-054-0025 (4) Reasonable Precautions (4) Reasonable precautions must be exercised against any condition that could threaten the health, safety, or welfare of residents. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to exercise reasonable precautions against any condition which could threaten the health, safety, or welfare of residents for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#3) and two unsampled residents who were known to have smoked in their rooms. This placed residents at risk and constituted an immediate threat to the residents' physical safety and well-being. Findings include, but are not limited to: During the acuity interview on 01/27/25, it was reported that several residents were smokers, and two residents used oxygen. At the time of the survey, the facility had 32 residents. Resident 3 moved into the facility in 06/2022 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease and nicotine dependence. On 01/27/25 at 3:25 pm, the survey team noticed a strong smell of smoke that intensified over time. The survey team noted the smell was originating from Resident 3’s room. The survey team alerted a Resident Aide who proceeded to walk with the surveyors to Resident 3’s unit and open the door. The surveyor and caregiver observed plumes of smoke in the air and a pervasive odor of cannabis smoke in the air. The surveyor requested the caregiver immediately report to management. At 3:33 pm, Staff 2 (Assistant Administrator) confirmed that two residents had been smoking cannabis in the room. She reported the residents were informed to smoke outside. On 01/27/25 at approximately 4:00 pm, Staff 18 (Housekeeper) reported she was aware Resident 3 had been smoking in their room. Additionally, she mentioned that two other residents had smoked in their rooms. Staff 18 and the surveyor walked through the facility, identified the room numbers and the resident’s names, and confirmed that the three residents were known to have smoked in their rooms. On 01/28/25 at approximately 9:46 am, Staff 13 (Resident Aide) and Staff 15 (Resident Aide) reported Resident 3 occasionally smoked in his/her room and that incidents were reported to the Administrator. When asked how frequently residents smoked in their rooms, they reported it occurred approximately two or more times per week. On 01/28/25 at 11:10 am, Staff 14 (Med Aide) reported she was aware that Resident 3 smoked in the room. Staff 14 reported the resident mentioned it was too cold outside or forgot not to smoke in the room. She further stated it happened approximately one or two times per month. She reported when the resident smoked in the room, she repeatedly spoke to the resident, informing them of the consequences and provided education on the issues. However, she confirmed there was no documented evidence of her interactions, including the dates of the incidents or any notes regarding the resident smoking in the room. Resident 3’s smoking evaluation, dated 01/21/25, indicated the resident required “reminders to go out to smoke when getting [his/her] cigarette.” However, the service plan, updated 01/21/25, did not include any information about the resident’s smoking status, such as whether the resident was independent, required prompts or needed assistance with smoking. The service plan indicated the resident would occasionally go outside to smoke and socialized with a few other residents and staff. It was determined that staff were aware of the residents smoking in their rooms, an issue that had occurred multiple times in the past. The facility's failure to address indoor smoking put Resident 3 and other residents at risk and constituted an immediate threat to the residents' health, safety, or welfare. An immediate plan of correction was requested on 01/28/25 at approximately 2:57 pm. The facility provided a plan of correction that was accepted on 01/28/25 at 5:30 pm. The immediate risk was addressed; however, the facility will need to evaluate the overall system failure associated with the licensing violation. The need to ensure the facility exercised reasonable precautions against any condition which could threaten the health, safety, or welfare of residents was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 on 01/28/25 at 5:30 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

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 physical injuries of unknown cause were reported to the local SPD office, or the local AAA, as suspected abuse, unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably concluded and documented that the physical injury was not the result of abuse, and failed to ensure investigations documented place and individuals present; a clear description of the event; and follow-up action needed for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 2 and 3) with documented injuries of unknown cause and falls with injuries. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 moved into the residential care community in 10/2018 with diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder and dementia with behavioral disturbance. The resident’s evaluation and service plan noted Resident 2 was nonverbal. Progress notes and facility documented investigations on resident incident reports from 10/27/24 through 01/27/25 were requested and reviewed during the survey. The following injuries of unknown cause were identified: * 11/08/24 – Cut on right hand middle finger; and * 11/21/24 – Wound on the bottom of the left foot. These represented injuries of unknown cause and required reporting to the local SPD office unless an immediate investigation determined the injuries were not the result of abuse. There was no documented evidence the facility immediately investigated and documented the injuries were not the result of abuse. The facility did not report the skin injuries to the local SPD office as suspected abuse. b. The following falls were identified: * 12/12/24 – Unwitnessed fall with injuries. Resident 2 was sent to the emergency room and returned to the community nine days later. An incident report was initiated on 12/16/24 (four days later) and failed to include a clear description of the incident including the location of where the incident occurred and the follow up action taken by facility staff. * 01/16/25 – Witnessed fall in the bathroom. The incident report noted “care staff said the resident fell on [his/her] side. Then got up without a problem.” The investigation lacked information of whether the service plan was being followed, any follow up action necessary to reduce future incidents and a clear description of the incident. Survey requested the facility self-report the above incidents to the local SPD office on 01/30/25 at 8:40 am. Verification was received by email after survey exit on 01/31/25. The need to ensure immediate investigations were completed, included all required components of an investigation, and ruled out suspected abuse or were reported to the local SPD office was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (Assistant administrator), and Staff 5 (RN) on 01/30/25 at 1:34 pm. Resident 3 was admitted to facility 06/2022 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease and type II diabetes. A review of Resident 3's progress notes indicated an alert on 01/19/25 regarding a blister on the top of the left big toe. On 01/30/25 at approximately 10:25 am, Staff 2 (Assistant Administrator) confirmed there was no investigation showing how the facility determined the cause of the skin injury or whether it resulted from neglect or abuse. The incident was not reported to the local SPD office. This represented an injury of unknown cause and required reporting to the local SPD office unless an immediate investigation determined the injury was not the result of abuse. Survey requested the facility to report the skin injury to the local SPD office. The facility informed the survey team that it had reported the incident to the local office via phone on 01/30/25 at 5:15 pm. The need to investigate all incidents to rule out suspected abuse and report to the local SPD office if abuse could not be ruled out, was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 on 01/30/25 at 5:15 pm. 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 observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure changes of condition were evaluated, interventions were determined, documented, communicated to staff, and were monitored weekly through resolution for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, and 3) who experienced changes of condition. Resident 1 experienced a fall resulting in a compression lower back fracture following multiple falls without interventions or monitoring. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 06/2019 with diagnoses including unspecified fall, bipolar disorder and seizure. During the survey, the resident was observed spending most of the day in bed and calling for assistance when needed. Staff were observed checking on the resident frequently. a. During the acuity interview on 01/27/25, the resident was identified as having experienced multiple falls and had been diagnosed with a new lower back fracture resulting from one of the falls. The resident's clinical records including service plan, Temporary Service Plans (TSP’s), progress notes, and investigations were reviewed during the survey. Resident 1's progress notes, dated 11/01/24 through 01/23/25 and investigations, dated 11/01/24 through 01/19/25, were reviewed during the survey and the following was noted: * 11/01/24: Unwitnessed fall in the room, noninjury. Staff documented the resident reported losing his/her balance; * 11/07/24: Unwitnessed fall in the room, noninjury. Staff documented the resident was getting out of bed and missed his/her wheelchair; * 11/25/24: Unwitnessed fall in the hallway, resulted in shoulder pain. Staff documented the resident fell from his/her wheelchair while going down the ramp into the hallway; * 12/24/24: Unwitnessed fall in the room, noninjury. Staff documented the resident reported transferring from bed to wheelchair, losing balance and falling onto his/her buttocks; * 01/07/25: Unwitnessed fall in the hallway, resulted in lower back pain. Staff documented the resident fell backward while going up the ramp toward the lobby area; and * 01/13/25: The resident was crying, expressing severe back pain from a fall the previous week and requested to call 911. The resident returned to the facility with a new diagnosis of a compression fracture and prescribed pain medication. On 01/07/25 the facility RN documented in her assessment that the resident exhibited increased behaviors, tended to be manipulative, and was more prone to falls when the resident lacked consistent reminders to call for assistance if s/he felt weak, unsteady, or needed help using the ramp. However, the information had not been communicated to staff. The evaluation and service plan dated 01/07/25 had the following fall interventions: Standby for bathing and offer assistance at the times s/he was awake and in his/her wheelchair with walking up and down the hall. Throughout the survey, multiple staff reported they reminded the resident to call for help when needed. However, when asked about other interventions to prevent falls, it was unclear if any were in place. A review of the resident’s clinical records revealed no documented evidence the facility investigated the root cause of the falls or developed resident-specific interventions to help minimize future falls. Additionally, there was no documented evidence the changes of condition were monitored through resolution. The facility's failure to evaluate the resident after each fall, determine actions or interventions, communicate the interventions to staff, and monitor the effectiveness of previously established fall interventions put the resident at risk for repeated falls, resulting in a fall with a compression fracture. The need to ensure residents who experienced a change of condition were evaluated and resident-specific actions or interventions were developed, communicated to staff, and monitored through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Assistant Administrator) on 01/29/25 at 1:35 pm. They acknowledged the findings. b. Resident 1's clinical record noted the following: * 01/02/25: Right third and fourth toe, open skin area; * 01/13/25: Emergency room visit and returned to the facility with a new diagnosis of compression fracture, vertebra, left side; * 01/13/25: Increased oxycodone pain medication dose; and * 01/19/25: Emergency room visit due to severe pain in stomach, lower back and returned to the facility with a new medication of Cyclobenzaprine, a muscle relaxer. There was no documented evidence the changes of condition were monitored through resolution. The need to ensure residents who experienced a short-term change of condition were monitored through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Assistant Administrator) on 01/29/25 at 1:35 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 3 moved into the facility in 06/2022 with diagnoses including, Alzheimer’s disease and type II diabetes. Resident 3's progress notes, dated 11/05/24 through 01/27/25 and a 12/27/24 Temporary Service Plan (TSP) were reviewed during the survey and the following was noted: * 11/19/24: A new daily Aspirin for toe discoloration; and * 12/27/24: A new medication, lisinopril and an increase in the scheduled insulin dose. There was no documented evidence the changes of condition were monitored through resolution. The need to ensure residents who experienced a short-term change of condition were monitored through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Assistant Administrator) on 01/29/25 at 2:05 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 10/2018 with diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder and dementia with behavioral disturbance. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, review of progress notes and Temporary Service Plans (TSP’s) identified the following changes of condition: * 10/16/24 – Start meloxican and discontinue oxycodone (both medications were for pain management); * 11/08/24 – Skin tear left hand middle finger; * 11/19/24 – Involuntary muscle jerks in both arms; * 11/21/24 – Left foot wound, half dollar size and left big toe causing pain; * 12/12/24 – Unwitnessed fall; * 12/21/24 – Returned to community from a hospital stay; and * 01/16/25 - Witnessed fall. The above changes of condition lacked information in the resident’s record regarding what action or interventions were determined by the facility, communication of the determined actions or interventions to staff on each shift, and/or that the conditions were monitored at least weekly with progress noted in the resident’s record until the conditions resolved. The need to ensure the facility determined action or interventions needed for changes of condition, communicated the determined action or interventions to staff on each shift, and monitored the resident at least weekly through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (Assistant Administrator), and Staff 5 (RN) on 01/30/25 at 1:34 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

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 observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN completed a significant change of condition assessment for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) who experienced significant changes of condition related to weight loss and a fall with fracture. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 moved into the residential care community in 10/2018 with diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder and dementia with behavioral disturbance. Observations of the resident during the lunch meal service on 01/27/25 identified the resident was able to eat and drink independently and consumed 100% of the meal and had two glasses of milk. During an interview on 01/27/25 at 12:10 pm with Staff 12 (Resident Aide) it was reported Resident 2 ate well today; however, s/he didn’t always eat independently. Usually s/he required staff to sit with him/her and physically assist with eating and drinking. An evaluation and service plan dated 12/26/24, Temporary Service Plans (TSP’s), progress notes and weight records were reviewed during the survey. The following was identified: * 07/05/2024: 174.8 pounds; * 08/05/2024: 156.2 pounds; * 09/05/2024: 161.2 pounds; * 10/05/2024: 160.4 pounds; * 11/2024: No weight was recorded; and * 12/05/2024: 156.8 pounds. Between 07/05/24 to 08/05/24, Resident 2 had a weight loss of 18.6 pounds or 10.64% of his/her total body weight. This constituted a severe weight loss within one month. This severe weight loss represented a significant change of condition and required an RN assessment. During an interview on 01/28/25 at 4:30 pm, an RN assessment for Resident 2’s severe weight loss was requested. There was no documented evidence the RN completed a significant change of condition for Resident 2’s severe weight loss. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed for residents who experienced significant or severe weight loss was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (Assistant Administrator), and Staff 5 (RN) on 01/30/25 at 1:34 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 06/2019 with diagnoses including unspecified fall, bipolar disorder and seizure. During the survey, the resident was observed spending most of the day in bed and calling for assistance when needed. Staff were observed checking on the resident frequently. Resident 1's progress notes, dated 11/01/24 through 01/23/25, investigations, dated 11/01/24 through 01/19/25, and Temporary Service Plans (TSPs) were reviewed during the survey and the following was noted: * 01/07/25: Unwitnessed fall in the hallway. Staff documented the resident falling backward while going up the ramp toward the lobby area; and * 01/13/25: The resident was crying, expressing severe back pain from a fall the previous week and requested to call 911. The resident returned to the facility with a new diagnosis of a lower back compression fracture and was prescribed pain medication. Throughout the survey, multiple staff reported that the resident required additional assistance with transfer, toileting, and showering due to pain from the recent fall. This indicated a significant change in the resident’s condition that required an RN assessment. There was no RN assessment conducted after the resident received a new diagnosis of a compression fracture and required additional assistance with ADLs. The failure to conduct an RN assessment following a significant change in status was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (Assistant Administrator) on 01/29/25 at 1:35 pm and Staff 5 (RN) on 01/30/25 at 5:05 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

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 observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure MARs were accurate and included resident-specific parameters and staff instruction for PRN medications for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#1, 2, and 3) whose MARs were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 10/2018 with diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder and dementia with behavioral disturbance. The 01/01/25 through 01/27/25 MAR, signed orders dated 09/03/24, and hospital discharge orders dated 12/20/24 were reviewed during the survey. The following was identified: Resident 2 was prescribed PRN quetiapine and PRN risperidone, both for agitation. The 01/2025 MAR lacked resident-specific parameters including the sequence of use for PRN quetiapine and PRN risperidone used to treat the same condition. The need to ensure MARs included resident-specific parameters and staff instructions for PRN medications was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (Assistant Administrator), and Staff 5 (RN) on 01/30/25 at 1:34 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2.Resident 1 moved into the facility in 06/2019 with diagnoses including unspecified fall, bipolar disorder and seizure. The 01/01/25 through 01/27/25 MAR was reviewed and showed the following: The MAR indicated the resident self-applied Ketoconazole 2% cream for fungal infection. During an interview on 01/28/25 at 11:21 am, Staff 14 (Med-Aide) reported she administered all of the resident’s treatment including Ketoconazole. Staff 14 showed the surveyor the cream, which was kept in the medication cart and confirmed Med-Aides were administering the medication as needed. The need to ensure MARs were kept accurate and provided clear staff instruction was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Assistant Administrator) on 01/29/25 at 1:35 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 3 moved into the facility in 06/2022 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease and type II diabetes. The 01/01/25 through 01/27/25 MAR was reviewed and showed the following: The MAR directed staff to assist the resident with putting on and removing Farrow compression socks daily. Staff periodically signed on the MAR that they assisted with putting on and taking off the compression socks. However, based on observation and interviews with staff, it was noted that the staff did not provide this treatment as the compression dressing was managed by the home health nurse twice a week. The MAR instructed staff to document the insulin amount and quantity administered. On two occasions, different and inaccurate information was recorded. During an interview with Staff 2 (Assistant Administrator) on 01/28/25 at 4:10 pm, she acknowledged the insulin amount was documented incorrectly. On 01/29/25 at 2:05 pm, the above findings were shared with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2. The staff acknowledged the findings.

Established care time must be resident specific, rather than a predetermined average. (c) Develop a staffing plan for each shift, that meets the scheduled and unscheduled needs of all residents. (d) Develop ABST reports and posted staffing plans that reflect distinct and segregated areas as outlined in OAR 411-054-0070(1). (e) If applicable, determine ABST time for residents on a Specific Needs Settings Contract and residents not on a Specific Needs Setting Contract to build posted staffing plan as outlined in this rule. (f) Develop written policies and procedures to accurately and consistently implement the ABST. The policy must explain how a facility evaluates and accounts for both scheduled and unscheduled resident needs. (g) Provide the relevant ABST information for a specific resident if requested by the Department, that specific resident, that specific resident’s legal representative, or the Long-Term Care Ombudsman. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to complete an acuity-based staffing tool (ABST) that accurately captured care time and care elements that staff were providing to each resident as outlined in each individual service plan for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) and failed to develop an accurate staffing plan for each shift, that met the scheduled and unscheduled needs of all residents. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1’s ABST was reviewed during the survey and identified the following: Resident 1’s current ABST, updated on 12/31/24, inaccurately captured care time and care elements that staff were providing in the following care areas: * Bathing; * Transfers; * Supervising, cueing or supporting while eating; * Leisure activities; and * Additional care services, such as smoking assistance or pet care. The need to ensure the facility's ABST accurately captured care time and care elements that staff were providing to the resident was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Assistant Administrator) on 01/29/25 at 1:35 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 2’s quarterly ABST, updated on 12/31/24, inaccurately captured care time and care elements that staff were providing. The ABST care time for the following evaluated care elements had zero minutes assigned: * Safety checks and fall prevention; * Communication; * Monitoring behavior conditions and symptoms; * Non-drug interventions for behaviors; * Ambulation including escorts to meals and activities; * Bowel and bladder management including toileting; and * Housekeeping. On 01/30/25 at 1:34 pm, Staff 1 (Administrator) reported she was responsible for updating the facility’s ABST. Staff 1 acknowledged the multiple updates made on 12/31/24 and Resident 2’s ABST was not accurate per evaluated care elements; therefore, the tool did not accurately determine the correct amount of staff time required to provide care to the resident and could not meet the scheduled and unscheduled needs of the residents. The need to ensure the facility's ABST accurately captured care time and care elements that staff were providing to each resident and was used to develop an accurate staffing plan to meet the 24-hour scheduled and unscheduled needs of the residents was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (Assistant Administrator) and Staff 5 (RN) on 01/30/25 at 2:40 pm.
