OAR 411-054-0036 (1-4) Service Plan: General (1) If the resident has a Person-Centered Service Plan pursuant to 411- 004-0030, the facility must incorporate all elements identified in the person centered service plan into the resident's service plan. (2) SERVICE PLAN. The service plan must reflect the resident's needs as identified in the evaluation and include resident preferences that support the principles of dignity, privacy, choice, individuality, and independence. (a) The service plan must be completed: (A) Before resident move-in, with updates and changes as appropriate within the first 30-days; and (B) Following quarterly evaluations. (b) The service plan must be readily available to staff and provide clear direction regarding the delivery of services. (c) The service plan must include a written description of who shall provide the services and what, when, how, and how often the services shall be provided. (d) Changes and entries made to the service plan must be dated and initialed. (e) When the resident experiences a significant change of condition the service plan must be reviewed and updated as needed. (f) A copy of the service plan, including each update, must be offered to the resident or to the resident's legal representative. (g) The facility administrator is responsible for ensuring the implementation of services. (h) Changes to the service plan, including updates due to a significant change of condition and quarterly updates must be reflected in the facility’s ABST care elements. (3) SERVICE PLAN REQUIREMENTS BEFORE MOVE-IN. (a) Based on the resident evaluation performed before move-in, an initial service plan must be developed before move-in that reflects the identified needs and preferences of the resident. (b) The initial service plan must be reviewed within 30-days of movein to ensure that any changes made to the plan during the initial 30- days, accurately reflect the resident's needs and preferences. (c) Staff must document and date adjustments or changes as applicable. (4) QUARTERLY SERVICE PLAN REQUIREMENTS. (a) Service plans must be completed quarterly after the resident moves into the facility. (b) The quarterly evaluation is the basis of the resident's quarterly service plan. (c) If the resident's service plan is revised and updated at the quarterly review, changes must be dated and initialed, and prior historical information must be maintained. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure service plans were reflective of residents’ current needs and provided clear direction regarding the delivery of services for 4 of 4 residents whose service plans were reviewed (#s 2, 3, and 5). Findings include but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2023 with diagnoses including stage III kidney failure and bladder cancer. Resident 3's charting notes from 03/03/25 through 06/03/25, service plan, and alert charting records were reviewed, and observations were made during the survey. Resident 3’s service plan, dated 04/07/25, was not current or lacked direction for staff in the following areas: * Multiple handwritten updates with no date or signature; * Use of a routine psychoactive medication for sleep; and * Presence and treatment of “sore on left inner buttock.” In an interview on 06/03/25 at 2:00 pm, Staff 3 (Resident Care Nurse / RN) acknowledged the service plan was not current or complete. The need to ensure the service plan was updated with current care needs was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 5 (RCC), and Staff 2 (Office Manager) on 06/05/25 at 2 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 11/2015 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure and depression. Observations of the resident, interviews with the resident and staff, and review of the resident's most recent service plan, dated 03/21/25, and the “working” service plan showed the service plan did not provide clear direction to staff and/or was not reflective of the resident's needs in the following areas: * Safety checks, including frequency; * Staff instructions regarding how to monitor the oxygen was “appropriate”; and * Non-drug interventions not needing to be attempted prior to administering psychoactive medications for agitation. The need to ensure service plans were reflective of resident needs and provided clear direction to staff was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Office Manager) on 06/05/25 at 2:30 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 04/2015 with diagnoses including cerebrovascular disease and anxiety. Observations of the resident, interviews with the resident and staff, and review of the resident's most recent service plan, dated 05/27/25, and the “working” service plan showed the service plan did not provide clear direction to staff and/or was not reflective of the resident's needs in the following areas: * Where the resident preferred to eat meals and at what time; * Diagnoses including congestive heart failure diagnosis, including what to look for; * No longer receiving hospice services, who to call for medication questions or emergent services, and who provided fingernail/toenail services; * Bathing services, including who provided and preferences for sponge bath versus showering; * Safety checks, including frequency; and * Providing dressing assistance when resistant to changing clothes. The need to ensure service plans were reflective of resident needs and provided clear direction to staff was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Office Manager) on 06/05/25 at 2:30 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 4. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 09/2024. Interviews with an unsampled resident and staff were conducted, and the current service plan, dated 04/29/25, and a smoking evaluation and risk assessment, dated 04/14/25, were reviewed. In an interview with an unsampled resident on 06/02/25, Resident 5 was identified to smoke on his/her patio and in the apartment. The smoking assessment identified the resident had a history of smoking indoors or in non-smoking areas. The risk assessment included that the resident agreed to smoke in the designated smoking areas or risk a “move out notice.” The service plan lacked clear instructions to staff on what to do if they witnessed the resident smoking outside of designated smoking areas. Prior to exit, an update to the service plan was provided that included instructions to staff regarding what actions to take if the resident was found smoking outside of designated areas. In an interview with Staff 2 (Office Manager) on 06/05/25, she confirmed Resident 5 had been known to smoke on his/her patio but this had been addressed, and the resident had agreed not to continue. She acknowledged it had “been a few months at least” since the Resident was found to smoke outside of the designated areas. No observations were made during survey of Resident 5 smoking on his/her patio or in his/her apartment. The need to ensure service plans provided clear direction to staff was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Office Manager) on 06/05/25 at 2 :30 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 interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure changes of condition were evaluated to determine the action or intervention needed and monitored until resolution for 3 of 3 residents reviewed for change of condition (#s 1, 2, and 3). Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2023 with diagnoses including stage III kidney failure and bladder cancer. Resident 3's charting notes from 03/03/25 through 06/03/25, service plan, and alert charting records were reviewed, and observations were made during the survey. Resident 3 experienced the following changes of condition: * 04/01/25 progress noted documented the discovery of blood in Resident 3’s catheter bag, along with redness and a small blister near the catheter insertion site; * 04/02/25 alert charting notes documented skin with bright red color, small red bumps, and a “bruise adjacent to urethra”; and * 04/07/25 service plan documented “a sore on left inner buttock.” In an interview on 06/03/25 at 2:00 pm, Staff 3 (Resident Care Nurse / RN) acknowledged there was no documented evidence of evaluation of the wounds or monitoring until resolution. The need to ensure wounds were evaluated to determine what intervention was needed and were monitored until resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 5 (RCC), and Staff 2 (Office Manager) on 06/05/25 at 2:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 11/2015 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure and depression. The resident's 03/21/25 service plan, “working” service plan, alert charting, 03/01/25 through 05/31/25 progress notes, and outside provider notes were reviewed. a. The following short-term changes of condition lacked monitoring of progress noted weekly through resolution: * 03/01/25 – Start of senna (for constipation); * 03/08/25 – Missed trazodone (for sleep); * 04/03/25 – Diarrhea; * 04/06/25 - Missed ferrous sulfate (supplement); * 04/29/25 – New medication loperamide (for diarrhea); * 05/13/25 – Forgetting to put oxygen back on after ADLs; and * 05/20/25 – Start acetaminophen PRN for pain. b. An outside provider note from the hospice RN, dated 04/28/25, noted “an old blister that is healing on R (right) heel.” There was no documented evidence the heel was evaluated to determine actions/interventions and monitoring of progress noted weekly through resolution. In an interview on 06/04/25, Staff 3 (Resident Care Nurse/RN) acknowledged she did not have a system for monitoring skin conditions, and she had not evaluated the resident’s heel. Survey requested the heel be evaluated prior to exit and documentation was provided on 06/05/25 that the heel blister had healed. The need to ensure changes of condition had actions/interventions determined and monitored through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Office Manager) on 06/05/25 at 2:30 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 04/2015 with diagnoses including cerebrovascular disease and anxiety. The resident's 05/27/25 service plan, “working” service plan, alert charting, and progress notes, dated 03/01/25 through 05/31/25, were reviewed. The following short-term changes of condition lacked monitoring of progress noted weekly through resolution: * 04/11/25 – Start liquid potassium (supplement); * 05/05/25 – Warfarin (blood thinner) dosage change; and * 05/08/25 – Erythromycin for eye infection. The need to ensure changes of condition were monitored through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Office Manager) on 06/05/25 at 2:30 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

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 a significant change of condition assessment was completed by the RN, which included findings, resident status, and interventions, for 1 of 1 sampled resident (# 1) who experienced a significant change of condition. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 11/2015 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure and depression. Progress notes dated 03/01/25 through 05/31/25 were reviewed, and identified Resident 1 was admitted to hospice services on 04/23/25. The hospice admission constituted a significant change of condition, for which an RN assessment was required. On 04/23/25 an RN assessment was completed but did not include resident’s status and interventions made as a result of the assessment. In an interview on 06/04/25, Staff 3 (Resident Care Nurse/RN) acknowledged the RN assessment lacked the required components following Resident 1’s admission to hospice services. The need to ensure RN assessments included findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Office Manager) on 06/05/25 at 2:30 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

OAR 411-054-0055 (1)(e) Systems: Tracking Control Substances (e) The facility must have a system approved by a pharmacist consultant or registered nurse for tracking controlled substances and for disposal of all unused, outdated or discontinued medications administered by the facility. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to have a system in place for accurately tracking controlled substances administered by the facility for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#1) whose MARs and Controlled Substance Disposition logs were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 11/2015 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure and depression. Observations of the resident, interviews with resident and staff, and record review were completed. The resident's signed physician orders, dated 04/23/25, included the following: * Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 5 mg-325 mg, 2 tablets once daily at bedtime for pain; and * Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 10 mg-325mg, 1 tablet every four hours as needed for pain, not to exceed four tablets in 24 hours. The resident's Controlled Substance Disposition logs and MARS, reviewed from 05/01/25 through 06/01/25, showed the following: * A dose was signed out in the disposition log on 05/10/25 at 12:51 with no indication of am or pm. The MAR reflected it was administered at 2:03 am. * A dose was signed out in the disposition log on 05/11/25, and the dose was not reflected in the MAR. * A dose was signed out in the disposition log on 05/11/25 at 4:27 pm but not reflected on the MAR. That same day, a dose was signed on the narcotics log at 11:30 pm and noted “popped in error not given” but was shown as administered at 11:30 pm. There was no documented evidence the pill not given was destroyed. In an interview on 06/04/25, Staff 3 (Resident Care Nurse/RN) indicated she was present when the medication was destroyed but acknowledged there was no documented evidence the tablet had been destroyed. Comparison of the medication in pill bottles and bubble packs to the disposition logs showed the amount of medication left was reflected accurately on the log. The need to ensure narcotic disposition logs accurately reflected the medications administered was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Office Manager) on 06/05/25 at 2:30 pm. The staff acknowledged the findings.

OAR411-004-0020(2)(i) Individual freedom & Support: Activities (2) Provider owned, controlled, or operated residential settings must have all of the following qualities: (i) Each individual has the freedom and support to control his or her own schedule and activities. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure 2 of 5 sampled residents (#s 2 and 4) were supported in their right to control their own activities and schedules. 1. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 04/2015 with diagnoses including cerebrovascular disease and anxiety. Review of the resident’s progress notes, dated 03/01/25 through 05/31/25, and service plan, dated 05/27/25, was completed, and interviews with the resident and staff were conducted. The resident’s service plan indicated s/he required staff assistance with the use of a wheelchair for mobility, that s/he would request escorts to and from the dining room at mealtimes and would self-propel his/her wheelchair part of the time and need staff assistance part of the time. Observations between 06/03/25 and 06/05/25 revealed the resident self-propelled his/her wheelchair to lunch, started self-propelling his/her wheelchair back to his/her unit after lunch, but then used his/her call pendant to request assistance with toileting at the same time. In an interview on 06/03/25, Resident 2 indicated, "They [facility] serve meals at 8:00, 12:00, and 5:00. I make sure I'm there.” S/he did not feel they had control of when they could eat in the dining room. When the resident was asked if, for example, s/he could eat dinner at 5:30 pm instead, Resident 2 responded, "No, I either would not be fed or I would have to eat in my room." Resident 2 also indicated “there is a rule that I have to be in the dining room for 30 minutes before I can go back to my room.” S/he indicated s/he left the footrests off of his/her wheelchair so s/he could use their feet to self-propel back to his/her apartment. In an interview on 06/04/25 at 1:36 pm, Staff 7 (Medication Aide) reported “The rule is [s/he] has to wait half an hour once in the dining room before we can help [Resident 2] because we are getting meal trays done and don’t always have the staff available to help [him/her]. [S/he] wants to go back 15-20 minutes after a meal starts and so we tell [him/her] to please wait. Our priority is to get the meals out while they are hot.” In an interview on 06/05/25 at 2:30 pm, Staff 2 (Office Manager) clarified, “The rule came about because the resident would come to a meal in the dining room and spend five minutes at the table, would not eat, and then ask staff to take [him/her] back [to the apartment].” She added staff encouraged Resident 2 to eat and they created “a rule [Resident 2] needed to stay in the dining room for 30 minutes before staff would provide assistance back to his/her apartment. [S/he] was able to wheel [himself/herself] but [s/he] would see others getting pushed back to their rooms and ask, ‘Why can’t I get that?” The need to ensure residents had the freedom and support to control their own schedule was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Office Manager) on 06/05/25 at 2:30 pm. They acknowledged the findings. Refer to C 260. 2. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 04/2025 with diagnoses including basal cell carcinoma. The resident’s current service plan, dated 03/21/25, was reviewed, and interviews with Resident 4 and staff were conducted. The following was identified: On 06/03/25 at 11:37 am, Resident 4 stated “meal service was at 8:00 am, 12:00 pm, and 5:00 pm.” The resident continued to say s/he did not eat breakfast in the dining room often because s/he liked to “sleep until 9:00 or 9:30 am” and confirmed s/he would eat breakfast if it was served later. The resident was not offered breakfast at a later time based on his/her preferred schedule. The need to ensure residents had the freedom and support to control their own schedule was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (Office Manager) on 06/05/25 at 3:15 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
