OAR 411-054-0060 Restraints and Supportive Devices Residential care and assisted living facilities are intended to be restraint free environments. (1) Restraints are not permitted except when a resident's actions present an imminent danger to self or others and only until immediate action is taken by medical, emergency, or police personnel. (2) Supportive devices with restraining qualities are permitted under the following documented circumstances: (a) The resident specifically requests or approves of the device and the facility has informed the individual of the risks and benefits associated with the device; and (b) The facility registered nurse, a physical therapist or occupational therapist has conducted a thorough assessment; and (c) The facility has documented other less restrictive alternatives evaluated prior to the use of the device; and (d) The facility has instructed caregivers on the correct use and precautions related to use of the device. (3) Supportive devices with restraining qualities may be utilized for residents who are unable to evaluate the risks and benefits of the device when sections (2)(b), (2)(c) and (2)(d) have been met. (4) Documentation of the use of supportive devices with restraining qualities must be included in the resident service plan and evaluated on a quarterly basis. Stat. Auth.: ORS 410.070 & 443.450 Stats. Implemented: ORS 443.400 - 443.455, 443.991 Hist.: SPD 14-2007, f. 8-31-07, cert. ef. 11-1-07 This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure a thorough assessment had been completed by an RN, PT or OT, and caregivers had been instructed on the correct use and precautions related to the use of devices with restraining qualities for 1 of 1 sampled resident (# 1) who used siderails. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 1 was identified during the acuity interview on 03/10/25 to have siderails on their bed. The resident’s bed was observed to have two half side rails in the up position throughout survey. A review of Resident 1’s clinical record revealed the following were lacking from the record: *An RN, PT or OT assessment; and *Documented instructions for staff on the correct use and precautions related to the use of the device. The need to complete all required elements related to use of an assistive device with restraining qualities was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (Corporate Director of Health Services), Staff 3 (Resident Services Coordinator) and Staff 6 (Alternate Administrator) on 03/12/25 pm. They acknowledged the findings. Staff 2 completed an RN assessment of device and instructions were provided for staff on 03/12/15.

The Facility Nurse completed a side rail assessment for Resident 1 on March 13th. A thorough assessment will be conducted whenever a new order for side rails is placed, and quarterly thereafter. Caregivers will be instructed on the correct use and precautions of side rails, with documentation in the resident’s record. The RSC will coordinate with the RN for new orders, and the Administrator will ensure timely and accurate assessments and training. An audit has been initiated and will be completed to ensure ongoing compliance. RSC, RN and Administrator
