This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to create an environment in which residents were treated with dignity and respect and received services in a manner that protected privacy and dignity for 2 of 6 sampled residents (#s 2 and 6) and two unsampled residents who received meal services and/or ADL care from staff. Findings include, but are not limited to: Observations were conducted during lunch on 07/14/25 and 07/17/25. The following concerns were identified: 1. Staff 8 (Resident Assistant) was observed standing while providing cueing and physical feeding assistance to an unsampled resident who was seated in a wheelchair in the dining room. Staff 8 remained standing while feeding the resident, rather than positioning herself at eye level or sitting beside the resident. At the same time, Staff 8 left the resident to perform other tasks, including collecting dirty plates off the table nearby and assisting another resident back to their room, then returned to continue assisting the resident to eat. 2. Resident 6 moved into the community in 03/2025 with diagnoses including dementia, diabetes mellitus type II, and malignant neoplasm of the bronchus and lung. During lunch on 07/17/25 from 12:05 pm through 12:45 pm, Staff 8 was observed standing while assisting Resident 6, who required cueing assistance during meals. The resident was seated in a chair in the dining room, while Staff 8 remained standing beside the resident. While the resident was eating, Staff 8 was repeatedly asking, “Are you going to eat?” The resident replied, “I don’t like the food, I want mashed potatoes and gravy. Can you taste the food?” Staff 8 did not acknowledge the resident’s request and continued asking the resident if he/she was going to eat. The resident was observed to be visibly frustrated and replied to Staff 8, “I guess I have to eat, if I don’t eat, I’m going to die, right?” The need to ensure residents were treated with dignity and respect during meal service was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 24 (Regional Director of Operations) on 07/16/25 at 2:30 pm and on 07/17/25 at 1:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 2 moved into the community in 06/2022 with diagnoses including dementia and seizures. During the acuity interview, Resident 2 was identified as a two-person assist for incontinence care. During an ADL observation on 07/14/25 at 2:55 pm the following was noted: * One staff was observed providing Resident 2 with incontinence care and failed to close the door to Resident 2’s room. The need to ensure residents' rights of privacy and dignity were upheld was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 24 (Regional Director of Operations) on 07/16/25. They acknowledged the findings. 4. Observations of meal service were conducted at 11:45 am on 07/16/25. An unsampled resident was observed sitting in the common area, holding his/her head in his/her hands. Staff 8 (Resident Assistant) approached the resident and stated, “What’s wrong?” The unsampled resident stated s/he had a headache. Staff 8 stated, “Well, get up. It’s time to eat.” The resident stood and took a seat in the dining room. S/he ate a few bites of food but was observed grimacing and still holding his/her head in his/her hands. Staff 8 approached him/her at 12:05 and stated, “Why aren’t you eating? Are you finished?” Without waiting for an answer, Staff 8 removed the unsampled resident’s plate of food. The unsampled resident appeared frustrated and stated, “I wasn’t finished,” but the staff had walked away and didn’t hear him/her. The need to ensure residents’ right to be treated with respect and dignity was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) on 07/17/25 at 10:00 am. She acknowledged the findings.

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.

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 determine actions/interventions needed, communicate actions or interventions to staff on all shifts, and monitor changes through resolution with at least weekly documentation for 2 of 7 sampled residents (#s 4 and 6) reviewed with short-term changes of condition, and failed to evaluate the resident, refer to the facility nurse, document the change, and update the service plan for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#3) with a significant change of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 02/2021 with diagnoses which included Alzheimer’s disease, insulin dependent diabetes, kidney disease and edema. Observations of Resident 3 and interviews with direct care staff during the survey revealed s/he required assistance with ADL care needs including dressing, bathing and toileting. During an interview on 07/14/25 at 1:40 pm, Staff 9 (Resident Assistant) stated Resident 3 had open wounds to both buttocks and staff were applying barrier cream during incontinence care. On 07/15/25 at 9:30 am, the RN surveyor obtained permission and observed Staff 12 (Resident Assistant) provide toileting assistance and incontinence care to Resident 3. During the observation, open wounds were visible to both of the resident’s buttocks near the intergluteal cleft (posterior deep midline groove in the gluteal region). During an interview on 07/15/25, Staff 18 (Resident Assistant) stated the wounds had been present for “a while.” Review of the clinical record revealed no evidence the facility evaluated the resident, referred to the facility RN, documented the change, and updated the service plan. Additional information was requested from Staff 20 (MCC Care Coordinator) on 07/15/25 at 1:15 pm. At 2:15 pm the same day, Staff 20 said she was unaware of the skin breakdown. She said staff failed to report the wounds to the nursing clinical staff. Staff 2 (RN) was interviewed on 07/15/25 at 2:45 pm. She said she had not assessed the wounds because she had not been notified. She stated she would assess the area. On 07/15/25, Staff 2 provided an assessment to the surveyor which indicated the resident had two ulcers to his/her “bilateral, middle, inner buttocks.” The wound on the right buttock measured 1.5 by 1 cm, and the wound on the left buttock measured 1 by 1 cm. Interventions were developed and the service plan was updated. The need for significant changes of condition to be evaluated, referred to the facility RN, and service plan updated was shared with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 24 (Regional Director of Operations) on 07/16/25 at 12:30 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 4 moved into the community in 07/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease. A review of Resident 4’s outside provider notes, dated 04/14/25 through 07/07/25, indicated the following short-term changes of condition were identified by the resident’s hospice provider and documented as reviewed by Staff 2 (RN/Administrator): * 04/17/25 – Diarrhea episode; * 05/13/25 – Non-productive cough; and * 05/22/25 – Bruise. The resident’s 04/15/25 through 06/23/25 progress notes and Service Plan Updates were reviewed. The resident's record lacked documentation that the short-term changes of condition were monitored until resolution. On 07/15/25 at 1:48 pm, Staff 2 confirmed she initialed and reviewed the outside provider documentation with the identified changes of condition, and she acknowledged the lack of documented monitoring. The need to ensure the facility monitored the short-term changes of condition at least weekly through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) on 07/17/25 at 8:25 am. She acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 6 moved into the community in 03/2025 with diagnoses including dementia, diabetes mellitus type II, and lung cancer. Resident 6's progress notes and service plan updates, dated 04/14/25 through 07/14/25, outside provider notes, dated 06/23/25 through 07/08/25, and service plan, dated 06/25/25, were reviewed. a. A review of resident’s clinical record indicated the following changes of condition: * 05/21/25 Severe weight loss; * 05/22/25 Nutritional supplement (Ensure) was increased from one time daily to twice daily; * 05/27/25 Regular texture diet was changed to mechanical soft; and * 06/18/25 Resident was admitted to hospice. Although these changes were monitored by Staff 5 (LPN) and Staff 7 (LPN), there was no documented evidence these changes or interventions were communicated to staff. b. On 06/23/25 the Hospice RN documented on an outside provider note that resident’s pulse was elevated, possibly dehydrated and recommended to encourage rest and sips of water. There was no documented evidence staff were instructed to provide sips of water to the resident, or the resident had been monitored for dehydration through resolution. Interview on 07/16/25 at 11:40 am with Staff 2 (Administrator/RN) acknowledged review of outside provider’s note and stated there was no communication provided to staff. The need to ensure the facility determined and documented what action or interventions were needed for changes of condition, communicated the actions or interventions to staff on all shifts, and monitored the short-term changes of condition at least weekly through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 24 (Regional Director of Operations) on 07/16/25 at 2:05 pm. They acknowledged the findings. No additional documentation was provided.

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 interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed and/or completed in a timely manner for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 2, 3 and 6) who experienced a significant change of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 6 was admitted to the facility in 03/2025 with diagnoses including dementia, diabetes mellitus type II and malignant neoplasm of the bronchus and lung. Resident 6’s weight records were reviewed. The following was identified: * 03/14/25 - 116.4 pounds; * 04/07/25 - 113.2 pounds; * 05/07/25 - 105.4 pounds; * 06/07/25 – 104.2 pounds; and * 07/07/25 - 100.4 pounds. Per surveyor request, the resident was weighed on 07/16/25 and weighed 100.4 pounds. From 04/07/25 through 05/07/25, Resident 6 experienced a total body weight loss of 7.8 pounds, or 6.89% of his/her total body weight, in one month. This severe weight loss constituted a significant change of condition and required an RN assessment. On 05/21/25, 14 days after the weight loss was identified, an RN assessment was completed including findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. In an interview on 07/16/25 at 11:40 am, Staff 2 (Administrator/RN), acknowledged the RN assessment was not completed timely. The need to ensure all significant changes of condition were assessed by an RN and were completed in a timely manner was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 24 (Regional Director of Operations) on 07/16/25 at 2:05 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 2 moved into the community in 06/2022 with diagnoses including dementia and seizures. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's 06/05/25 service plan and progress notes were completed. The following was identified: A progress note dated 04/14/25 noted a significant change of condition by Staff 5 (LPN) and indicated Resident 2 was dependent with all cares due to significant weakness. There was no documented evidence the facility RN had completed an assessment to include findings, resident status and interventions. The need to ensure the facility RN performed timely assessments, and developed interventions was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 24 (Regional Director of Operations) on 07/16/25. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 02/2021 with diagnoses which included Alzheimer’s, insulin dependent diabetes, kidney disease and edema. Observations of Resident 3 and interviews with direct care staff during the survey revealed s/he required assistance with ADL care needs including dressing, bathing and toileting. Observations and staff interviews revealed the resident had skin breakdown on his/her buttocks. There was no documented facility RN assessment. Staff 2 (RN) was interviewed on 07/15/25 at 2:45 pm. She said she was unaware of the skin breakdown and therefore an assessment had not been done. Refer to C270, example 1.

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 2 sampled resident (# 2) whose MARs and Controlled Substance Drug Disposition logs were reviewed for accuracy. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 moved into the community in 06/2022 with diagnoses including dementia and seizures. The current written prescriber orders and MARs dated 07/01/25 through 07/14/25 were reviewed during the survey. Resident 2 had a physician order for lorazepam 0.5 MG, give one tablet by mouth every eight hours for agitation. Review of the MAR and Controlled Substance Disposition Log revealed the following discrepancies: There were 12 times a facility staff signed the Controlled Substance Disposition log indicating the lorazepam was removed from locked storage but did not document on the MAR that the medication was administered. In interviews on 07/16/25 with Staff 25 (MT) at 8:45 am and Staff 2 (RN) at 1:35 pm, both confirmed the missed documentation on the MAR for the lorazepam. Neither Staff 25 or Staff 2 could explain the missed documentation. The need to ensure the tracking of controlled substances was accurate was reviewed with Staff 2, Staff 1 (ED), Staff 24 (Regional Director of Operations). They acknowledged the findings.

Findings include, but are not limited to: On 07/14/25 and 07/15/25, resident apartments were toured, and water temperatures were taken throughout the building’s eight cottages. Water temperatures were higher than 120 degrees F in Cottage 6 in the following apartments: * Room 603 – 140.9 degrees F; and * Room 609 – 140.6 degrees F. The need to adjust the water temperatures between 110 degrees and 120 degrees F was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) on 07/14/25 at 1:10 pm. Water temperatures were re-taken on 07/14/25 at 3:07 pm, and Room 603 was measured at 122.5 degrees F. At that time, Staff 1 was instructed to re-adjust the temperature to meet the regulation. On 07/15/25 at 8:45 am, water temperatures were measured in Room 603 at 115.1 degrees F. On 07/16/25 at 9:57 am, Staff 6 (Maintenance Director) and this surveyor reviewed the facility’s monthly water temperature monitoring system. There was no documented evidence of monitoring Cottage 6’s water temperatures after 04/30/25.

OAR411-004-0020(2)(d) Individual Privacy: Own Unit (2) Provider owned, controlled, or operated residential settings must have all of the following qualities: (d) Each individual has privacy in his or her own unit. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to provide each individual privacy in his or her own unit for multiple sampled and unsampled residents who resided in shared units. Findings include, but are not limited to: During the acuity interview on 07/14/25, the survey team was provided with a resident roster which indicated there were 15 double occupancy rooms in the facility. Eight of the double occupancy rooms had two residents sharing one unit. Large studio-like rooms that were shared between two residents had no means to provide privacy for one of the two residents when the unit was entered, when ADL cares were provided outside of the bathroom, or when a resident walked to the bathroom. The tour of the double occupancy rooms also revealed the bathroom doors did not have a lock to allow privacy. The need to ensure residents’ right to be afforded privacy was discussed with Staff 1 on 07/16/25 at 10:27 am. She acknowledged the findings.
