Review of the resident’s clinical record revealed the following: * On 01/25/25, a progress note identified a “quarter sized bruise on the top of [his/her] left hand near [his/her] wrist.” When interviewed by the surveyor at 1:20 pm on 03/18/25, the resident could not recall how the bruise had occurred. There was no documented evidence the facility immediately investigated the injury to rule out abuse or neglect. The facility did not report the injury to the local Seniors and People with Disabilities (SPD) office. On 03/18/25 at 1:45 pm, the need to ensure all injuries of unknown cause were immediately reported to the local SPD office unless an immediate investigation reasonably concluded that the injury was not the result of abuse was discussed with Staff 1 (ED). Staff 1 acknowledged the findings and stated the injury would be reported to the local SPD office. Verification the facility had self-reported the incident to the local SPD office was received by the survey team on 03/19/25.

OAR 411-054-0036 (6) Service Plan: Managed Risk (6) RISK AGREEMENT. When a resident's actions or choices pose a potential risk to that resident's health or well-being, the facility may utilize a risk agreement to explore alternatives and potential consequences with the resident. (a) The facility must identify the need for and develop a written risk agreement following the facility's established guidelines and procedures. A risk agreement must include: (A) An explanation of the cause of concern; (B) The possible negative consequences to the resident or others; (C) A description of the resident's preference; (D) Possible alternatives or interventions to minimize the potential risks associated with the resident's current preferences and actions; (E) A description of the services the facility shall provide to accommodate the residents' choice or minimize the potential risk; and (F) The final agreement, if any, reached by all involved parties, must be included in the service plan. (b) The licensing policy analyst must be consulted and alternatives reviewed before the resident signs the agreement. (c) The facility must involve the resident, the resident's designated representative, and others as indicated, to develop, implement, and review the risk agreement. The resident's preferences shall take precedence over those of a family member. (d) A risk agreement shall not be entered into or continued with, or on behalf of, a resident who is unable to recognize the consequences of their behavior or choices. (e) The risk agreement must be reviewed at least quarterly. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure a risk agreement included all required elements for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#3) with a risk agreement. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2022 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure and history of cerebral infarction (stroke). The resident’s medical record was reviewed on 03/17/25, and the following was identified: On 12/12/24, the facility’s previous RN completed an assessment regarding Resident 3’s ability to self-administer his/her own medication. The RN documented the resident was able to open containers and take medications without assistance, was able to distinguish time, and “[Resident] takes the med[ication] [his/her] son organizes them.” There was no documented evidence the resident was unable to self-administer his/her medications safely. On 12/20/24, the RN completed an “Informed/Negotiated Risk Agreement” form, also known as a managed risk agreement, with Resident 3’s son. The risk agreement document failed to address all required areas, including: *Possible negative consequences to the resident or others; *Description of the resident’s preference; *Description of the services the facility should provide to accommodate the resident’s choice or minimize the potential risk; *Inclusion of the final agreement on the resident’s service plan; and *Evidence that the licensing policy analyst was consulted, and alternatives were reviewed before the resident signed the agreement. There was no documented evidence that the facility involved the resident in developing the risk agreement. During an interview on 03/18/25 at 9:30 am, Staff 1 (ED) stated the RN was no longer employed by the facility, and Staff 1 had been unaware of this risk agreement. Staff 1 stated she had no additional information and confirmed there was no documented evidence the resident was involved in the agreement or that the licensed policy analyst had been contacted. The need to ensure risk agreements included all required elements was reviewed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (RCC) and Staff 4 (RN) at 11:35 am on 03/20/25. 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 residents who had a significant change of condition were evaluated, referred to the RN for assessment and the service plan was updated as needed, and/or failed to determine what resident-specific action or intervention was needed for a resident following a short-term change of condition, communicate the determined action or intervention to staff on all shifts, and document weekly progress until the condition resolved for 6 of 8 sampled residents (#s 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8) who experienced changes of condition. Resident 3 experienced repeated falls with injuries including facial abrasions, and a decline in functioning which included changes to cognition, communication, swallowing, and mobility. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2022 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure and history of cerebral infarction (stroke). The resident's most recent evaluation, dated 12/26/24, current service plan available to staff, dated 02/27/25, and 12/17/24 through 03/16/25 Progress Notes and hospice notes were reviewed, interviews with staff were conducted, and observations of the resident were completed. The following was identified: a. Resident 3 experienced the following short term changes of condition: *02/03/25: Resident 3 was found laying on the floor in his/her room and was unable to state what had occurred. Staff documented an abrasion to Resident 3’s forehead and pain in his/her right shoulder. Later that day, staff documented that the resident’s “right wrist has a deep purple bruise on it.” *02/05/25: Incident report stated the resident was found in front of a table in his/her room, and s/he was unable to tell staff what had happened. The resident had bleeding from his/her brow line next to his/her eye and a skin injury to his/her right knee. *02/21/25: Progress notes stated the resident “was getting up to go to the bathroom” but “did not know how [s/he] ended up on the floor.” Resident 3 sustained injuries including bleeding and skin abrasion to his/her right knee. *03/15/25: Resident was found face down on the floor in his/her apartment, fully clothed, at 11:54 pm. Injuries included bruising around the resident’s left eye, swelling to the left side of his/her forehead, an abrasion and bruising on the left side of his/her face and an abrasion on his/her left hand. Throughout the next 15 hours, staff also documented a significant decline in Resident 3’s cognition, ability to speak, ability to swallow, and overall mobility. There was no documented evidence the facility determined what resident-specific interventions were needed to mitigate the fall risk following each of the above falls; therefore, there was no documented evidence resident-specific interventions were communicated to staff on each shift. The facility failed to develop interventions to reduce Resident 3's fall risk, and Resident 3 experienced repeated falls with injuries including facial abrasions, knee abrasions, and a decline in functioning which included changes to cognition, communication, swallowing, and mobility. b. In the resident’s 12/26/24 quarterly evaluation, s/he was noted to self-administer his/her own medication, transferred independently, required stand-by assistance with dressing, and was continent of bowel and bladder. The resident was admitted to hospice on 01/03/25 after being released from the hospital secondary to acute-on-chronic congestive heart failure and pneumonia. Upon return to the facility on 01/03/25, the resident was no longer able to self-administer his/her own medication, utilized continuous oxygen and was incontinent of bladder at times. On 01/05/25, the resident was noted to require two-person assistance to transfer to his/her wheelchair. On 01/06/24, the resident was noted to be “assisted” by two care staff “throughout the shift.” The change in the resident’s ADL needs constituted a significant change of condition. There was no documented evidence that the facility evaluated the resident, referred to the facility RN for assessment, and updated the service plan. During an interview on 03/18/25 at 9:30 am, Staff 1 (ED) stated that the facility had an RN on staff during the time that the resident experienced the significant change of condition, and the RN left the facility as of 01/21/25. She confirmed there was no documented evidence that the facility evaluated the resident and referred to the RN for assessment. c. The following short-term changes of condition lacked documentation of resident-specific actions or interventions needed for the resident, communication of the determined actions or interventions to staff on all shifts, and/or monitoring at least weekly through resolution: *12/27/24 – Choking incident at dinner; *01/04/25 – Change in medication; *01/06/25 – Instructions from hospice stating resident had shoulder pain and is “[two] person assist to wheelchair”; *01/06/25 – Change in medication; *01/08/25 – Change in medication; *01/26/25 – Skin tear to right forearm; *01/29/25 – Hospital bed delivered; *01/31/25 – Resident reporting discomfort, staff instructed to be “floating feet on pillows”; *02/03/25 – Skin abrasion on forehead, bruising on right wrist, increased pain; *02/04/25 – Change in medication; *02/05/25 – Skin abrasion on forehead and right knee; *02/06/25 – Change in medication; *02/06/25 – Increased difficulty swallowing and new order to crush meds PRN; *02/07/25 – “Reclining” wheelchair delivered; *02/09/25 – Scratches above left eye; *02/21/25 – Skin abrasion and bleeding to right knee; *02/17/25 – Pain in feet; *03/11/25 – Skin and treatment changes to right buttock; and *03/14/25 – Per facility RN, resident “displaying signs of depression” and “is requesting individualized activities.” The need to ensure the facility evaluated residents who experienced significant changes of condition, referred the resident to the facility nurse, documented the change and updated the service plan as needed; and determined and documented what action or interventions were needed for short-term changes of condition, communicated the interventions to staff on all shifts and monitored the short-term changes of condition at least weekly through resolution was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (RCC) and Staff 4 (RN) at 11:35 am on 03/20/25. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 6 was admitted to the facility in 09/2023 with diagnoses including chronic pain syndrome and Parkinson’s disease. The resident's progress notes dated 12/17/24 through 03/16/25 were reviewed, interviews with staff were conducted, and observations of the resident were completed. There was no current service plan or interim service plan documentation available for Resident 6. The following short-term changes of condition lacked documentation of resident-specific actions or interventions needed for the resident, communication of the determined actions or interventions to staff on all shifts, and/or monitoring at least weekly through resolution: *01/27/25 – New behavior, sexual behavior in public space; *02/13/25 – New behavior, taking and hiding items from the public dining room; and *03/03/25 – Skin concern on the right side of the resident’s face. The need to ensure the facility determined and documented actions or interventions needed for short-term changes of condition, communicated the interventions to staff on all shifts and monitored the short-term changes of condition at least weekly through resolution was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (RCC) and Staff 4 (RN) at 11:35 am on 03/20/25. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 10/2020 with diagnoses including aortic stenosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure. The resident's service plan available to staff dated 03/13/25 and MARs and progress notes dated 12/29/24 to 03/17/25 were reviewed, observations were made, and interviews with staff and the resident were conducted. There were no interim service plans available for review. The following short-term changes of condition, documented in the progress notes, lacked actions or interventions communicated to staff on all shifts and/or were not monitored at least weekly to resolution: * 01/04/25 - New medication (Vistaril); * 01/16/25 - Bruise on the lateral right calf; * 01/28/25 - Chest pain with hospitalization; * 02/04/25 - Return from hospital with multiple medication changes; * 02/06/25 - Hydrocodone changed from scheduled to as needed for pain; * 02/14/25 - New medication (Omeprazole); * 02/25/25 - Admit to hospice services from palliative care; * 02/26/25 - Increased confusion; * 02/26/25 - Hydrocodone discontinued, and acetaminophen ordered every 12 hours scheduled; * 02/28/25 - Multiple medications discontinued; * 03/07/25 - Fall with injuries: Two abrasions lateral right knee, and pain to the right knee and back of head; * 03/08/25 - Unwitnessed fall; * 03/09/25 - Three skin tears on left posterior ankle, and complaint of right leg pain; * 03/09/25 - Left foot swelling, warm to touch; * 03/11/25 - Fall with injuries: bump/bruise left side of temple between hairline and left eye, a bump on left side of head with an open wound, an abrasion to the lower left side of the back, and a skin tear on left outer lower leg above the ankle; * 03/11/25 - Second fall, non-injury, resident asked to be checked on every 30 minutes; * 03/13/25 - Medication changes: Discontinued scheduled nightly lorazepam and changed to lorazepam 0.5mg bid at 6:00 am and 6:00 pm; * 03/13/25 - Bruise to the forehead; * 03/15/25 - Skin tear to right side of knee; and * 03/15/25 - Discontinuation of all medications except for comfort medications ordered by hospice. The need to ensure all changes of condition had actions or interventions determined, implemented, communicated to staff on all shifts, and were monitored at least weekly to resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (RCC) at 10:40 am on 03/20/25. They acknowledged the findings. 4. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 09/2024 with diagnoses including arthritis, anxiety, and depression. Review of Resident 1's progress notes, dated 12/17/24 through 03/17/25, revealed the resident experienced the following changes of condition: * On 01/23/25, progress notes indicated the resident had a “non-injury fall”; *On 01/24/25, notes indicated Resident 1 was experiencing back pain, tailbone pain, swelling in feet and legs, and increased weakness; and *On 01/25/25, progress notes revealed the resident was complaining of headache, hip pain, and had a “quarter sized bruise on the top of [his/her] left hand near [his/her] wrist.” There was no documented evidence these injuries had actions/interventions developed, or existing fall interventions were monitored for effectiveness. Remove evaluated language unless you are talking about significant change of condition. On 03/20/25, the need to ensure the facility had a system for evaluating changes of condition, determining actions or interventions needed, and monitoring the conditions to resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (RCC). They acknowledged the findings. 5. Resident 8 was admitted to the facility in 11/2024 with diagnoses including hypertension and depression. The resident had non injury falls on 01/25/25 in the library, and on 02/08/25 in his/her room. On 02/22/25 Resident 8 fell in the dining room during breakfast and suffered injuries including a fractured nose. On 02/26/25 a progress note documented “due for care assessment.” The service plan was updated with “moderate risk” for falls and new fall interventions were developed. On 02/26/25 the incident investigation from the 02/08/25 was completed, and noted “care plan was assessed 2/26/25 fall risk was added with preventative measures.” Resident 8 was placed on "Alert Charting" after each fall, however, there was no documented evidence the facility reviewed the service plan to determine if the current fall interventions were adequate or whether additional interventions needed to be implemented after each fall until the 02/26/25 care plan update. Resident 8 was placed on alert charting to monitor pain and bruising from the fall on 02/22/25. There was no documented evidence of further weekly monitoring after 02/26/25. The facility failed to determine, document and communicate to staff what action or intervention was needed for the resident and there was no documented evidence the facility monitored and documented on the status of the 02/22/25 fall injuries at least weekly until resolved. The need for a system of responding to falls that included determining and documenting what action/intervention was needed in a way that could be included in the resident's record, updating the resident's service plan as needed, reviewing the service-planned interventions for effectiveness and monitoring and documenting on the status of the condition at least weekly until resolved was reviewed with Staff 1 (Executive Director) and Staff 2 (RCC) on 03/20/25. They acknowledged the findings. 6. Resident 7 was admitted to the facility in 06/2024 with diagnoses including Parkinson’s disease and mild cognitive impairment. The resident's service plan available to staff dated 07/08/24 and progress notes dated 12/17/24 to 03/17/25 were reviewed, and observations were made. There were no interim service plans available for review. The following short-term changes of condition, documented in the progress notes, lacked actions or interventions communicated to staff on all shifts and/or were not monitored at least weekly to resolution: *01/04/25 – Fall with scraped leg; *01/30/25 – Fall with head strike; *02/23/25 – Fall with facial redness; *03/11/25 – Fall with head wound and wound to back of left hand; and *03/16/25 – Fall with abrasion “rug burn” to left shoulder. Resident 7 was placed on "Alert Charting" after each fall, however, there was no documented evidence these injuries had actions/interventions developed, or existing fall interventions were monitored for effectiveness. The need to ensure all changes of condition had actions or interventions determined, implemented, communicated to staff on all shifts, and were monitored at least weekly to resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (RCC) at 10:40 am on 03/20/25. 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.

OAR 411-054-0045 (1)(a-f)(A)(C-F) Resident Health Services Resident Health Services (1) RESIDENT HEALTH SERVICES. 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 observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed to include documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 4 of 4 sampled residents (#s 2, 3, 4, and 5) who experienced significant changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 11/2024 with diagnoses including hypertension and depression. Weight records, dated 11/3/24 through 03/17/25, and progress notes, dated 11/03/24 through 03/17/25, were reviewed and indicated the resident experienced significant weight gain: * 11/24/24: 125 pounds; * 12/11/24: 132.6 pounds = 6% weight gain in 17 days; * 01/25/25: 133.8 pounds; and * 02/25/25: 131 pounds. Between 11/24/24 and 12/11/24 the resident gained 7.6 pounds, or 6.08% of total body weight in 17 days. This weight change constituted a significant change of condition. The facility RN did not assess the weight change but instead notified Resident 2’s physician. On 12/13/24 the physician responded, “will likely need evaluation for this weight gain.” In interview on 03/20/25, Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (RCC) confirmed the facility RN at the time did not complete an evaluation or assessment of the significant weight gain. Observations of the resident between 03/17/25 and 03/20/25 showed the resident eating meals in the dining room. The resident was observed to eat over 75% of the observed lunch meals, without staff assistance. A weight of 137 lbs was obtained on 03/20/25, at the request of the surveyor, and Staff 2 stated that weight gain would be assessed by an RN. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed for a significant change of condition, which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made, was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 2 on 03/20/25 at 2:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 10/2020 with diagnoses including aortic stenosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and congestive heart failure. During the acuity interview on 03/17/25, staff reported the resident had a change of condition with weight loss, cognitive and ADL decline. Observations of Resident 4 during survey revealed s/he remained in bed with family at bedside. On 03/17/25 during an interview, Witness 1 (Family member) reported that Resident 4 stayed in bed now. “She’s too weak to get up.” She reported assistance from two care staff was being provided with bed mobility, incontinent cares, dressing and transfers. One person full assist was provided by care staff for grooming and hygiene tasks. She stated that prior to a hospitalization in 02/2025 Resident 4 was independent with mobility using a walker, ate independently, and was independent with all ADL tasks. Interviews with staff and review of the resident's 03/13/25 service plan, and 12/29/24 through 03/17/25 progress notes, were completed. The service plan indicated the resident used a walker for mobility and staff were to anticipate all needs. There were no additional instructions related to mobility or ADL assistance needed. Staff 20 (CG) reported that Resident 4 had declined, was not eating or drinking much, was significantly weaker, extremely confused, and had primarily remained in bed over the last two weeks. The resident was no longer able to walk, needed two persons assist for mobility, toileting, dressing, and one person full assist for all other ADL tasks. Staff 4 (RN) completed an assessment for the resident’s significant change of condition on 03/07/25. The assessment included information that Resident 4 had declined with increased confusion, decreased oral intake, dysphagia, anxiety and depression which led to Resident 4 being admitted to hospice. The RN assessment completed did not include the resident’s significant decline in strength and mobility, with increase assistance in all areas of care and mobility in the 03/07/25 assessment. Additionally, the interventions determined from the RN assessment were not implemented. During an interview with Staff 4 on 03/18/25, he acknowledged the resident’s decline in mobility and ADLs, and indicated it was expected, as Resident 4 was on hospice. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed for significant changes of condition which included resident status and interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), and Staff 2 (RCC) on 03/20/25. No further documentation was provided. 3. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 06/2031 with diagnoses including paranoid schizophrenia, hypothyroidism, and depression. Weight records, dated 10/25/24 through 02/25/2025, and progress notes, dated 12/06/24 through 03/17/25, were reviewed and indicated the resident experienced significant weight gain: * 11/25/24: 187 pounds; * 12/09/24: 199.2 pounds = 6.50% weight gain in 14 days; * 01/25/25: 191.2 pounds; and * 02/25/25: 194.2 pounds. Between 11/25/24 and 12/09/24 the resident gained 12.2 pounds, or 6.50% of total body weight in 14 days. This weight change constituted a significant change of condition. There was no documented evidence the facility RN completed an assessment of the significant weight change. In interview on 03/20/25, Staff 1 (ED), Staff 3 (RCC), and Staff 4 (RN) confirmed the facility RN at the time did not complete an assessment of the significant weight gain. Observations of the resident between 03/17/25 and 03/20/25 showed the resident eating meals in the dining room. The resident was observed to eat over 75% of the observed lunch meals, without staff assistance. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed for a significant change of condition, which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made, was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 3 and Staff 4 at 10:40 am on 03/20/25. They acknowledged the findings. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2022 with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes and history of cerebral infarction (stroke). The resident's most recent evaluation, dated 12/26/24, current service plan available to staff, dated 02/27/25, and 12/17/24 through 03/16/25 progress notes and hospice notes were reviewed, interviews with staff were conducted, and observations of the resident were completed. The following was identified: In the resident’s 12/26/24 quarterly evaluation, s/he was noted to self-administer his/her own medication, transferred independently, required stand-by assistance with dressing, and was continent of bowel and bladder. The resident was admitted to hospice on 01/03/25 after being released from the hospital secondary to acute-on-chronic congestive heart failure and pneumonia. Upon return to the facility on 01/03/25, the resident was no longer able to self-administer his/her own medication, utilized continuous oxygen and was incontinent of bladder at times. On 01/05/25, the resident was noted to require two-person assistance to transfer to his/her wheelchair. On 01/06/24, the resident was noted to be “assisted” by two care staff “throughout the shift.” The change in the resident’s ADL needs constituted a significant change of condition. There was no documented evidence that a timely RN assessment occurred for the significant change of condition. The need to ensure all significant changes of condition were assessed timely by an RN was reviewed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (RCC) and Staff 4 at 11:35 am on 03/20/25. 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 treatment orders were carried out as prescribed and failed to ensure written, signed physician or other legally recognized practitioner orders were documented in the resident's facility record for all treatments the facility was responsible to administer for 2 of 2 sampled Residents (#s 3 and 4) whose treatment orders were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2022 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure and history of cerebral infarction (stroke). Resident 3's current physician's orders, MAR dated 02/01/25 through 03/16/25, and progress notes dated 12/17/24 through 03/16/25 were reviewed. The following was identified: a. The resident had a physician’s order for PRN albuterol sulfate (for shortness of breath) and PRN oxygen at 2 liters per minute (for shortness of breath). The orders were not carried out as prescribed, as the treatments were not included on the MAR and therefore unavailable for staff to administer as ordered. b. On 02/21/25 and 02/23/25, unlicensed staff documented treating a wound on the resident’s right knee, including applying antibiotic cream, taping a pad over the wound, and changing the bandage. There was no documented evidence of a signed physician’s order for this treatment. The need to ensure all treatments were carried out as prescribed and written signed physician orders were documented in the resident’s facility record was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (RCC) and Staff 4 (RN) at 11:35 am on 03/20/25. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 10/2020 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure and was on hospice services. Resident 4's current physician's orders, MAR dated 02/01/25 through 03/16/25, and progress notes dated 12/29/24 through 03/16/25 were reviewed. Two orders were received on 03/10/25 from the hospice provider for wound care: * Left foot, third toe: “Cleanse with wound spray and gauze. Apply single layer of xeroform. Pad with cast cotton. Secure with opsite. Change prn dislodged or soiled and at least 2 x weekly;” and * “Wound care right medial ankle skin tear: Cleanse with wound spray and gauze. Apply 2 layers of xeroform. Cover with cast cotton and secure with opsite. Change 2 x weekly and prn dislodged or soiled.” Review of the 03/2025 MAR/TAR found neither treatment listed. During an interview with Staff 16 (MT) on 03/18/25 at 1:50 pm, she reported the treatment orders were never put into the electronic MAR/TAR system. On 03/18/25 at 2:00 pm Staff 4 (RN) reported the orders did not make it past the second check and verified the treatment orders were not implemented. The need to ensure all treatments were carried out as prescribed was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), and Staff 2 (RCC) at 10:40 am on 03/20/25. 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 physician or other legally recognized practitioner orders were carried out as written for 1 of 4 sampled residents (#12). This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 12 was admitted to the facility in 03/2020 with diagnoses including neuropathy. A review of the resident’s 06/01/25 through 06/16/25 MAR and signed physician orders revealed the resident had the following orders for pain medication: * Acetaminophen 500 mg, two tablets three times daily at 6:00 am, 2:00 pm, and 8:00 pm; * Acetaminophen 500 mg tablets, one tablet by mouth every six hours as needed for pain; and * Ibuprofen 600 mg, one tablet every 8 hours as needed for pain “if Tylenol not working.” The MAR included the following parameters for ibuprofen: * “Do not give within 1 hr of scheduled pain medication. Try 2nd.Unless unable to give Tylenol PRN, then give 1st [sic].” The resident was administered ibuprofen on 06/07/25 at 7:33 pm and 06/08/25 at 9:48 pm. There was no record of acetaminophen being administered and being ineffective prior to the ibuprofen being administered. The 06/07/25 administration of ibuprofen occurred less than 30 minutes prior to a scheduled administration of acetaminophen. In an interview on 06/18/25 at 10:58 am, Staff 18 (MT) reported ibuprofen was administered to the resident first, instead of administering acetaminophen first, because “it was helping more” than the acetaminophen. The need to carry out physician orders as written was discussed with Staff 2 (RCC), Staff 4 (RN), Staff 5 (Memory Care Coordinator), and Witness 1 (RN Consultant) on 06/18/25 at 2:45 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

OAR 411-054-0055 (2) Systems: Medication Administration (2) MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION. An accurate Medication Administration Record (MAR) must be kept of all medications, including over-the-counter medications that are ordered by a legally recognized prescriber and are administered by the facility.(a) Documentation of the MAR must be completed using one of the following processes. 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 interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure resident-specific parameters and instructions for PRN medications were included on the MAR and/or the MAR included all required components, including medication specific instructions, for 4 of 6 sampled residents (#s 1, 3, 5 and 6) whose MARs were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 06/2021 with diagnoses including schizophrenia and depression. The resident's 02/01/25 to 03/17/25 MAR was reviewed and revealed the following: a. PRN medications for pain lacked resident-specific parameters for administration as follows: * Acetaminophen 500 mg, one tablet every six hours as needed for pain; and *Acetaminophen 500 mg, two tablets every six hours as needed for pain. b. Haloperidol 2mg every day as needed for anxiety lacked information for staff as to how the resident would exhibit symptoms of anxiety. The need to ensure medications contained resident-specific parameters and instructions for administration was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (RCC), and Staff 4 (RN) at 10:40 am on 03/20/25. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2022 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure and history of cerebral infarction (stroke). The resident’s MAR, dated 02/01/25 through 03/16/25, and physician’s orders were reviewed. The following was identified: a. The resident had two PRN medications for pain which did not have parameters for order of administration: *Morphine Sulfate 20mg/ml (.25ml / 5 mg per dose); and *Acetaminophen 650 mg. b. The resident had two PRN medications for restlessness, agitation and/or nausea which did not have parameters for order of administration: *Haloperidol 2.5 mg; and *Lorazepam 0.5 mg. The resident was administered PRN haloperidol and lorazepam at the same time on 3/11/25 with no notes regarding reason for administration. c. The resident had two PRN medications for shortness of breath which did not have parameters for order of administration: *Morphine Sulfate 20mg/ml (.25ml / 5 mg per dose); and *Lorazepam 0.5 mg. The need to ensure the MAR was accurate and that PRN medications included resident-specific parameters and instructions for administration was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (RCC) and Staff 4 (RN) at 11:35 am on 03/20/25. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 6 was admitted to the facility in 09/2023 with diagnoses including chronic pain syndrome and Parkinson’s disease. The resident’s MAR dated 02/01/25 through 03/16/25 and physician’s orders were reviewed. The following was identified: a. The MAR listed PRN docusate sodium (for constipation), “[one] to [three] capsules” by mouth every four hours as needed. There were no specific instructions to the unlicensed staff regarding how many capsules to administer to the resident. b. The MAR listed PRN stimulant laxative plus (for constipation) “[one] to [four] capsules.” There were no specific instructions to the unlicensed staff regarding how many capsules to administer to the resident. c. The resident had three PRN medications for constipation which did not include resident-specific parameters for order of administration: *Docusate sodium 100 mg; *Stimulant laxative plus 8.6-50 mg; and *Milk of magnesia 400 mg/5 ml. The need to ensure all PRN medications had resident-specific parameters and instructions was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (RCC) and Staff 4 (RN) at 11:35 am on 03/20/25. They acknowledged the findings. 4. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 09/2024, with diagnoses including diverticulosis, anxiety, and depression. Review of Resident 1’s MAR, dated 02/01/25 through 03/17/25, revealed the following: a. There were two PRN pain medications prescribed for the resident. These were: * Acetaminophen 325 mg, with instructions to try first when pain rating was 1-4 (0n 1-10 scale); and * Acetaminophen-codeine 300-30 mg, to be used when pain rating was 5-10. There were multiple administrations of both PRN medications, but no documentation of the pain levels. b. The MAR included a routine medication for pain, diclofenac sodium 1% gel, with instructions to “apply 4 grams topically to affected area four times daily”. There were 16 administrations of this medication without documentation of the application site. On 03/20/25, the need to ensure a complete and accurate MAR was kept, including PRN parameters and application sites for topical medications was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (RCC). 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 there was a self-administration evaluation and a physician order of approval for a resident to self-administer medication for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#10) who self-administered medication. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 10 was admitted to the facility in 04/2023 with diagnoses including frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs). The resident’s 06/01/25 through 06/16/25 MAR and signed physician orders were reviewed. Staff were interviewed. The following was identified. * There was an order for estradiol 0.01% cream (to treat UTIs), place 1 gram vaginally three times weekly at bedtime. * The MAR indicated staff did not administer this medication. There was no documented evidence a self-administration evaluation had been completed determining the resident was able to safely self-administer medication. There was no physician order of approval for the resident to self-administer the estradiol. The need to have a current self-administration evaluation which determined the resident was able to safely self-administer medication, as well as to have a physician’s order of approval for self-administration, was discussed with Staff 2 (RCC), Staff 4 (RN), Staff 5 (Memory Care Coordinator), and Witness 1 (RN Consultant) on 06/18/25 at 2:45 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

(c) If the facility has any residents funded by an exceptional payment, as provided in OAR 411-027-0050, that must be included in the ABST and the facility must staff to the greater of the exception or the ABST. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the acuity-based staffing tool (ABST) evaluation was updated and reviewed before a resident moved in for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#2) and multiple unsampled residents, no less than quarterly at the same time of service plan update and/or with a significant change of condition for 5 of 5 sampled residents (#s 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6) and multiple unsampled residents, and failed to ensure documentation of consistently staffing to meet or exceed the posted staffing plan. Findings include but are not limited to: During the acuity interview on 03/17/25, Staff 3 (Interim RCC) confirmed the facility census was 70 residents. 1. The facility’s ABST data was retrieved at 8:03 am on 03/17/25 and reviewed during the survey 03/17/25 through 03/20/25. The following was revealed: a. One sampled resident (#2) and five unsampled residents had no ABST data. b. Of the 64 residents with ABST data, a total of 58 residents, including residents # 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and multiple unsampled residents, did not have evidence that the ABST was updated quarterly at the same time as the service plan update and/or with a significant change of condition. Of those 58 residents, 34 were most recently updated in 2023. 2. The facility’s posted staffing plan was documented as last updated on 02/20/25.
