OAR 411-054-0034 (1-6) Resident Move-in & Evaluation: Res Evaluation (1) INITIAL SCREENING AND MOVE-IN. (a) The facility must determine whether a potential resident meets the facility's admission requirements. (b) Before the resident moving in, the facility must conduct an initial screening to determine the prospective resident's service needs and preferences. The screening must determine the ability of the facility to meet the potential resident's needs and preferences, while considering the needs of the other residents and the facility's overall service capability. (c) Each resident record must, before move-in and when updated, include the following information: (A) Legal name for billing purposes.

The resident evaluation identifies the resident's preferences, strengths, and relationships, as well as activities that are meaningful to the individual. The evaluation describes the resident's physical health status, mental status, and the environmental factors that help the individual function at their optimal level. The evaluation is the foundation that a facility uses to develop the resident's service plan. The evaluation information may be collected using tools and protocols established by the facility, but must contain the elements stated in this rule.

(D) Done in person and the facility must gather data that is relevant to the needs and current condition of the resident. (E) Documented, dated, and indicate who was involved in the evaluation process. (b) 24 months of past evaluations must be kept in the resident's files in an accessible, on-site location. (c) The facility administrator is responsible for assuring only trained and experienced staff perform resident evaluations. (3) EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS AT MOVE-IN. (a) The resident evaluation must be completed before the resident moves into the facility. This evaluation provides baseline information of the resident's physical and mental condition at move-in. (b) If there is an urgent need and the evaluation is not completed before move-in, the facility must document the reasons and complete the evaluation within eight hours of move-in. (c) The initial evaluation must contain the elements specified in section (5) of this rule and address sufficient information to develop an initial service plan to meet the resident's needs. (d) The initial evaluation must be updated and modified as needed during the 30 days following the resident's move into the facility. (e) After the initial 30 day move-in period, the initial evaluation must be retained in the resident's file for 24 months. Future evaluations must be separate and distinct from the initial evaluation. (4) QUARTERLY EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS. (a) Resident evaluations must be performed quarterly after the resident moves into the facility. (b) The quarterly evaluation is the basis of the resident's quarterly service plan. (c) The most recent quarterly evaluation, with documented change of condition updates, must be in the resident's current record and available to staff. (d) If the evaluation is revised and updated at the quarterly review, changes must be dated and initialed and prior historical information must be maintained.

Implemented: ORS 441.111, 441.114, 443.400-443.455, 443.991 This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure quarterly evaluations were the foundation used for the development of the resident's service plan, available to staff, and reviewed with documented updates when a resident had a significant change in condition for 3 of 4 sampled residents (#s 2, 3, and 4) whose quarterly evaluations were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 moved into the facility in 12/2011 with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction and unspecified dementia. Resident 3's service plan, available to staff was dated 12/30/24. The evaluation occurred on 01/24/25. Therefore, the evaluation was not the foundation for the resident's service plan. The resident experienced a significant change of condition following the identification of bilateral leg wounds on 02/16/25. The resident's evaluation, dated 01/24/25, was not updated with changes to the resident's care needs. The need to ensure evaluations were the foundation of the resident's service plan, available to staff, and reviewed with documented updates after a resident experiences a significant change of condition was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 3 (Regional RN), and Staff 4 (Vice President of Clinical Services) on 03/06/25 at 10:40 am. They acknowledged the findings. Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure quarterly evaluations were the foundation used for the development of the resident's service plan, available to staff, and reviewed with documented updates when a resident had a significant change in condition for 3 of 4 sampled residents (#s 2, 3, and 4) whose quarterly evaluations were reviewed.

Resident 3's service plan, available to staff was dated 12/30/24. The evaluation occurred on 01/24/25. Therefore, the evaluation was not the foundation for the resident's service plan. The resident experienced a significant change of condition following the identification of bilateral leg wounds on 02/16/25. The resident's evaluation, dated 01/24/25, was not updated with changes to the resident's care needs. The need to ensure evaluations were the foundation of the resident's service plan, available to staff, and reviewed with documented updates after a resident experiences a significant change of condition was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 3 (Regional RN), and Staff 4 (Vice President of Clinical Services) on 03/06/25 at 10:40 am. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 4 moved into the facility in 04/2021 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure. The resident’s clinical record was reviewed. The most recent quarterly evaluations for Resident 4 were completed on 09/21/24 and 02/09/25. On 03/04/25 at 11:24 am, Staff 6 (Assistant Director of Health Services/LPN) confirmed the quarterly evaluation, due on 12/20/24, was not completed. Resident 4's service plan was dated 12/30/24. The resident’s last two evaluations were dated 09/21/24 and 02/09/25. There was not an evaluation to correspond with the resident’s 12/30/24 service plan; therefore, the evaluation was not the foundation of the service plan and did not correspond with the resident’s quarterly service plan updates. The resident experienced a significant change of condition following the identification of a venous stasis ulcer documented by the facility on 01/17/25. The resident's evaluation, dated 12/30/24, was not reviewed with updates documented following the significant change of condition. The need to ensure evaluations were the foundation of the resident's service plan, were performed at least quarterly, to correspond with the quarterly service plan updates and reviewed with documented updates after a resident experienced a significant change of condition was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 3 (Regional RN), and Staff 4 (Vice President of Clinical Services) on 03/06/25 at 11:00 am. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 07/2024 with diagnoses including type I diabetes and history of falling. The most current service plan, accessible to staff, was dated 01/06/25. However, the facility provided an evaluation for the resident, completed on 01/24/25 following a change in condition due to weight loss, and another evaluation on 03/03/25 as the quarterly review. The evaluations were not included as the foundation for developing the current service plan. The need to ensure evaluations were the foundation of the resident's service plan and were reviewed with documented updates after a resident experience a change in condition was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 3 (Regional RN), and Staff 4 (Vice President of Clinical Services) on 03/06/25 at 10:00 am. 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.

Plan of Correction

C270 - Change of Condition and Monitoring 1. Residents 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 were reviewed, ISPs were updated and all assessments completed and staff direction and updated by RN. Service plans have been updated and interventions have been reviewed for effectiveness. Service plan includes clear direction to direct cares on current interventions. 2. To prevent recurrence, staff will be reeducated on our alert charting guidelines, when to notify the RN and providing resident-specific actions or interventions to staff when a change of condition has been identified. 24 hour summary will be reviewed during stand up clincial meeting. On Mondays, the 72-hour summary will be reviewed to include review of all documentation from the weekend. When a change of condition is identified, the resident will be placed on alert charting which will then trigger a LN assessement which will include any changes to the care. The change of condition will be monitored until resolved or a new baseline is determined. When a change of condition is determined to be a significant change the RN will be notified to complete a significant change of condition assessment and resident will be monitored until resolved or until a new baseline is determined. Licensed nurses and Resident Care Coordinator reviewed regulations related to monitor of change of condition, including effectiveness of interventions. 3. This system will be evaluated during stand up clincial meeting and as needed when a change of condition occurs. 4. Executive Director and Licensed Nurse will be responsible for maintaining this system.

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 monitor each resident consistent with his or her evaluated needs and service plan for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#9) who experienced changes of condition. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 9 moved into the assisted living community in 08/2023 with diagnoses including pressure ulcer of unspecified buttock. The resident’s skin integrity and progress notes from 07/05/25 through 08/18/25 were reviewed and revealed a MT identified a sore on Resident 9’s bottom on 07/14/25. The sore was evaluated by Staff 6 (LPN) on 07/17/25; however, the evaluation was entered as a “late entry.” Staff 6 confirmed the evaluation was entered into the resident’s electronic record on 08/18/25, or after survey’s entrance into the community. On 07/23/25, HH wound care was initiated, and the HH RN and Staff 3 (Regional RN) completed their initial assessment. Staff 3 documented their assessment on 07/24/25 as a “late entry.” On 08/18/25 at 3:45 pm, additional documentation of skin monitoring was requested. On 08/19/25 at 3:00 pm, Staff 3 confirmed there was no documented evidence of monitoring the resident’s wound by the facility between 07/24/25 and 08/18/25. Review of 08/13/25 and 08/18/25 HH RN documentation and the RN’s skin assessment dated 08/20/25 revealed the buttock wound was healing. The need to ensure the facility monitored the resident according to their evaluated needs was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 3 on 08/20/25 at 3:41 pm. The findings were acknowledged.

Plan of Correction

1. Resident Review & Documentation Updates: Residents #9 were reviewed by the RN. Interim Service Plans (ISPs) were updated to reflect current conditions and interventions. Resident Assessment was completed, and staff directions were revised to ensure clarity. Interventions were evaluated for effectiveness and adjusted as needed. 2. Staff Reeducation: All direct care staff and licensed nurses received reeducation on: ? Alert charting protocols. ? Criteria for notifying the RN. ? Providing resident-specific actions/interventions when a change of condition is identified. o Licensed Nurses Training Included Nurse Learn Courses • Module 1 – Identifying, Assessing, and Monitoring Short Term and Significant Changes of Condition • Module 18 – Creating Individualized Care/Service Plans • Module 24 - Nursing Leadership in Community-Based Care Settings • Module 25 – Organization, Prioritization, and Time Management 3. Enhanced Monitoring System reviewed daily in Clinical Stand Up: o Residents with identified changes in condition are placed on alert charting, triggering a Licensed Nurse assessment. o The assessment includes updates to service plans/TSP and interventions. o Monitoring continues until the condition resolves or a new baseline is established. o If the change is determined to be significant, the RN completes a Significant Change of Condition Assessment and initiates ongoing monitoring, timely. 4. Clinical Oversight & Documentation Review are completed by Resident Care Coordinator, Director of Health Services and Executive Director in Clinical Meeting: o Daily stand-up clinical meetings now include review of the 24-hour summary for all residents on alert charting. o On Mondays, the 72-hour summary is reviewed to ensure weekend documentation is complete and accurate.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed with documentation of the findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of this assessment or was completed timely for 2 of 4 sampled residents (#s 3 and 4) who experienced significant changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 moved into the facility in 12/2011 with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction and unspecified dementia. Review of the clinical record and interviews with staff revealed Resident 3 had two wounds on his/her legs, which were identified on 02/16/25, upon the resident’s return from a hospital visit. The wounds constituted a significant change in condition for which an assessment by the facility RN was required. The resident was admitted to home health nursing services for wound care on 02/21/25. The facility RN assessment was completed on 02/25/25, or nine days following identification of the resident’s wounds. The wounds were still being treated by the outside home health provider and monitored weekly by the facility LPN. The need to ensure the facility conducted an RN assessment timely after a significant change of condition was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 3 (Regional RN) and Staff 4 (Vice President of Clinical Services) on 03/06/25 at 10:45 am. The findings were acknowledged. 2. Resident 4 moved into the facility in 04/2021 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure. Review of the resident’s clinical record and interviews with staff revealed Resident 4 had a wound on his/her left leg which was documented by the facility’s RN in an RN Skin Assessment form and the Skin Integrity Weekly RN Monitoring form on 01/17/25. The wound constituted a significant change in condition for which an RN assessment with documentation of findings, resident status, and interventions was required. Although the facility RN completed an assessment on 01/17/25, it failed to include the documentation of findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed for residents who experienced a significant change of condition was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 3 (Regional RN), and Staff 4 (Vice President of Clinical Services) on 03/06/25 at 11:00 am.

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 observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the facility management or licensed nurse was notified of the services provided by the outside provider to ensure staff were informed of new interventions, and the service plan was adjusted, if necessary, and reporting protocols were in place for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 3 and 4) who received outside services. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 4 moved into the facility in 04/2021 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure. The resident’s clinical chart including outside provider notes, progress notes, dated 12/03/24 through 03/02/25, and the service plan, dated 12/30/24, was reviewed. Interviews with facility staff and the resident were completed during survey and revealed the following: On 01/17/25, the facility RN documented Resident 4 had a venous stasis ulcer on his/her left leg and HH would be requested for follow-up. In a progress note on 01/23/25, Staff 6 (Assistant Director of Health Services/LPN) documented “home health on board for resident’s wound care.” On 03/06/25 at 11:00 am, Staff 4 (Vice President of Clinical Services) confirmed the facility did not have documentation of the services provided by the resident’s HH wound care RN. Therefore, there was no documented evidence the facility’s management or licensed nurse was notified of the services provided by the HH RN to ensure staff were informed of new interventions, and the service plan was adjusted if necessary. On 03/04/25 at 11:47 am, Staff 6 (Assistant Director of Health Services/LPN) confirmed the resident’s ulcer had healed. The need to ensure the facility management or the licensed nurse was notified of the services provided by the outside provider to ensure staff were informed of new interventions, the service plan was adjusted, if necessary, and reporting protocols were in place was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 3 (Regional RN), and Staff 4 (Vice President of Clinical Services) on 03/06/25 at 11:00 am. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 3 moved into the facility in 12/2011 with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction and unspecified dementia. The resident’s clinical chart including outside provider notes, progress notes, dated 12/03/24 through 03/02/25, and the service plan, dated 12/30/24, was reviewed. Interviews with facility staff and the resident were completed during survey and revealed the following recommendations: * 02/21/25: “Encourage protein rich foods first at meals to aid in wound healing.”; and * 02/27/25: “Please serve all meals in [sic] dinner plates and give real silverware. [Please] explain one step activities prior to performing tasks to improve participation and behaviors.” Resident 3 was observed to be served breakfast meals on 03/03/25 and 03/04/25 in plastic clamshell containers with plastic silverware. There was no documented evidence the facility updated the resident's service plan as necessary after being informed of the new interventions. The need to ensure staff were informed of new interventions and the service plan was updated as necessary after on-site health services were provided was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 3 (Regional RN) and Staff 4 (Vice President of Clinical Services) on 03/06/25 at 10:50 am.
