OAR 411-054-0028 (1-3) Reporting & Investigating Abuse-Other Action (Amended 12/15/21)(1) The facility must have policies and procedures in place to assure the prevention and appropriate response to any incident. In the case of incidents of abuse, suspected abuse, or injury of unknown cause, policies and procedures must follow the requirements outlined below. In the case of incidents that are not abuse or injuries of unknown cause where abuse has been ruled out, the facility must have policies and procedures in place to respond appropriately, which may include such things as re-assessment, monitoring, or medication review. (2) ABUSE REPORTING. Abuse is prohibited. The facility employees, agents and licensee must not permit, aid, or engage in abuse of residents who are under their care. (a) STAFF REPORTING. All facility employees are required to immediately report abuse and suspected abuse to the local SPD office, or the local AAA, the facility administrator, or to the facility administrator's designee. (b) FACILITY REPORTING. The facility administrator, or designee, must immediately notify the local SPD office, or the local AAA, of any incident of abuse or suspected abuse, including events overheard or witnessed by observation. (c) LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY. The local law enforcement agency must be called first when the suspected abuse is believed to be a crime (e.g., rape, murder, assault, burglary, kidnapping, theft of controlled substances, etc.). (d) INJURY OF UNKNOWN CAUSE. Physical injury of unknown cause must be reported to the local SPD office, or the local AAA, as suspected abuse, unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably concludes and documents that the physical injury is not the result of abuse. (3) FACILITY INVESTIGATION. In addition to immediately reporting abuse or suspected abuse to SPD, AAA, or the law enforcement agency, the facility must promptly investigate all reports of abuse and suspected abuse and take measures necessary to protect residents and prevent the reoccurrence of abuse. Investigation of suspected abuse must document: (a) Time, date, place and individuals present; (b) Description of the event as reported; (c) Response of staff at the time of the event; (d) Follow-up action; and (e) Administrator's review. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to immediately notify the local Seniors and People with Disabilities (SPD) office of any incident of abuse or suspected abuse or injury of unknown cause and to conduct an immediate investigation including all required documentation, for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 5) who had reportable incidents. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 08/2021 with diagnoses including acute kidney failure, end stage glaucoma, and mental disorder due to a known physiological condition. Resident 5 used a wheelchair for mobility and required staff assistance for personal care. Resident 5’s 05/28/25 service plan documented “thought disorder: can become confused about day/time/activities” and “behavioral symptoms: confusion, anger, frustration.” A caregiver note dated 03/05/25 documented “walked into [his/her] room to help [him/her] get dressed” and “I slapped his/her hand” when s/he touched the caregiver. An administrator note dated 03/06/25 reviewed the incident, but failed to include: * Time, date, place, and individuals present; * Description of event as reported; * Response of staff at the time of the incident. There was no documented evidence the incident was reported to the local SPD office. On 07/10/25, the surveyor requested the facility report the incident to the local SPD. A fax confirmation of the report was received prior to survey exit. The requirement to immediately report physical abuse to the local SPD office and complete a documented investigation with all required components was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator) on 07/10/25 at 11:00 am. He acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 09/2022 with diagnoses which included diabetes mellitus type I, anorexia nervosa, and anxiety. Progress notes, incident investigations, temporary service plans and physician visit summaries reviewed between 04/08/25 and 07/08/25 revealed the following: A progress note dated 05/07/25 indicated “resident complained of right foot discomfort…Resident reports no known injuries.” A progress note dated 5/12/25 documented, “resident came to med tech about right foot being very painful, eight on scale of 1-10, and more swelled [sic] than usual.” A 5/12/25 RN note stated, “resident presented to this RN with concern regarding right foot which was swollen and slightly warm to touch and resident showed radiology report to this writer which showed resident had fracture to 3rd metatarsal.” Resident 1 was unable to say how the fracture occurred, constituting an injury of unknown cause. There was no documented evidence the facility investigated the incident to determine how the fracture occurred, if the service plan had been followed, a description of the event, response of staff at the time of the event, follow up action, or administrator review. On 07/10/25, the surveyor requested the facility report the incident to the local SPD. A fax confirmation of the report was received prior to survey exit. The requirement to immediately report injuries of unknown cause to the local SPD office unless an immediate facility investigation reasonable concludes and documents the physical injury was not the result of abuse was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) on 07/10/25 at 11:00 am. He acknowledged the findings.

(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.

Resident 2 was observed on 07/09/25 at 11:10 am to have a half-length side rail on the bed in the up position. On 07/10/25 at 10:30 am, Staff 16 (MA) reported the resident had been using the side rail since moving into the facility. Review of the resident's clinical record showed the following: * No documented evidence of an assessment completed by a RN, PT or OT for the use of the side rail. Therefore, there was no documented evidence that other less restrictive alternatives had been attempted prior to their use; and * The resident’s 07/08/25 service plan did not include the device, nor did it include any instructions or precautions for caregivers related to the use of the device. On 07/10/25, the lack of documented assessment and care instructions for the use of the side rail was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 23 (RN). They acknowledged the findings.
