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 report injuries of unknown cause to the local Seniors and People with Disabilities (SPD) office, unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably concluded and documented abuse had been ruled out for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) with injuries of unknown cause. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 08/2020 with diagnoses including dementia and type 2 diabetes. Narrative Charting from 06/04/25 to 09/01/25 and incident reports, dated 06/23/25 to 08/27/25 were reviewed and noted the following: • 07/11/25: “… area near left elbow measuring 1 cm x 1 cm…”; and • 08/08/25: “Additional bruising is observed on the right hand.” There was no documented evidence the incidents had been reported to SPD and/or immediately investigated to rule out abuse. On 09/05/25 at 11:00 am, additional documentation was requested, but no additional documentation was provided. The need to ensure incidents were immediately investigated and if abuse or suspected abuse could not be ruled out, the incidents were reported to the local SPD office was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 4 (Interim Administrator) and Staff 20 (AL Administrator) on 09/05/25 during the exit interview. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 06/2021 and had diagnoses including early onset Alzheimer's dementia. A review of Resident 1's Narrative charting notes, incident reports and investigations, interim service plans (ISPs), and outside provider notes, identified the following: • On 07/17/25, a hospice note from the shower aide indicated two bruises to the left elbow. There was no evidence the bruises were investigated until 07/24/25 and found “consistent with a recent fall.”; • On 07/24/25, a hospice note from the shower aide noted “…red sheer area to right knee”. No documented evidence the knee injury was investigated until 08/26/25; and • On 08/07/25, a hospice note indicated Resident 1 had a bruise to the right forearm. There was no documented evidence the bruise was investigated until 08/12/25. The injuries identified from the hospice notes constituted injuries of unknown cause. On 09/04/25, Staff 4 (Interim Administrator) confirmed the facility had not promptly completed an investigation or incident report to rule out abuse or reported the injury to the local SPD office if abuse or suspected abuse could not be ruled out. The need to ensure incidents were immediately investigated and if abuse or suspected abuse could not be ruled out, the incidents were reported to the local SPD office was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 5 (Director of Assisted Living/RCC) and Staff 20 (AL Administrator) and Witness 1 (Consultant Nurse/RN) on 09/05/25 at 9:40 am. They acknowledged the findings.

(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.

(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 care needs and preferences, provided clear direction regarding the delivery of services, and/or were implemented for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1, 2 and 3) whose service plans were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 06/2021 and had diagnoses including early onset Alzheimer's dementia. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, review of interim service plans, Narrative Charting notes from 06/02/25 through 09/01/25, and review of the service plan, dated 08/13/25, showed the service plan was not reflective of the resident's current care needs and did not provide clear direction to staff: • Dressing, including number of female versus male staff to provide assist; • Bathing, including the outside provider who provides the assistance, frequency, and when facility staff would also provide; • Toileting, including number of female versus male staff required, assistance needed and who provides briefs; • How to minimize anxiety or aggressive behaviors when staff provide ADL assistance; • Sexual behaviors during ADL assistance and how staff should respond to the behavior; • Skin integrity including chronic intermittent redness on buttocks and how to manage; • Eating, including ability and assistance needed from staff; • Fall risk history including falls at night and interventions identified; • Medications being provided; and • Communication, including the ability to be understood and understand others. During an interview on 09/04/25, Staff 13 (CG) reported Resident 1 needed staff to move slow and talk through what they were helping him/her with and allow time to process that information. “Otherwise, s/he will grab onto your arm and become agitated.” Staff 13 also indicated Resident 1 benefitted from visual and verbal cues of the ADL task to help with his/her understanding of the assistance being provided. The need to ensure resident service plans were reflective of current care needs and provided clear direction to staff was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 5 (Director of Assisted Living/RCC), Staff 20 (AL Administrator) and Witness 1 (Consultant Nurse/RN) on 09/05/25. The staff acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 08/2020 with diagnoses including dementia and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Observations were made of the resident's care from 09/04/25 through 09/05/25. Interviews with facility staff were conducted. The current service plan dated 09/03/25 and Temporary Service Plans, dated 06/04/25 through 08/27/25, were reviewed. Resident 2's service plan was not reflective of the resident's current needs, lacked clear instructions to staff and was not implemented as outlined in the following areas: • Use of a cushion while in a wheelchair; • Apply barrier cream; • Check incontinence status 12 times per shift; • Place a rolled towel under one side or other when in the wheelchair; and • Reposition every two hours. The need to ensure the service plan reflected resident’s current needs, provided clear instruction to staff and was implemented as outlined was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 4 (Interim Administrator) and Staff 20 (AL Administrator) on 09/05/25 at 8:45 am. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 3 moved into the community in 03/2021 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s dementia. The resident’s service plan dated 08/04/25 was reviewed, observations were made, and staff interviews were conducted. During the entrance interview, the resident was identified as needing full assistance for all ADLs. The resident's service plan was not implemented in the area of grooming. The resident’s service plan instructed staff to “provide oral care with toothpaste and sponge applicator morning and night…Use small amount of toothpaste on sponge, then use sponge with water to rinse.” Staff 21 (MT/CG) reported in an interview on 09/04/25 that they never use a sponge when providing oral care for Resident 3, and “always uses a toothbrush because [s/he] has teeth.” On 09/04/25 at 3:30 pm, the need to ensure service plans were implemented was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 5 (Director of Assisted Living/RCC), Staff 20 (AL Administrator), and Witness 1 (Consultant Nurse/RN). 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 determine resident-specific interventions for residents following a change of condition, monitor the resident according to their needs, including effectiveness of interventions, and/or monitor and document weekly progress until the condition resolved for 3 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, and 3) who experienced changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 06/2021 and had diagnoses including early onset Alzheimer's dementia. The resident's clinical record including Narrative Charting notes from 06/02/25 through 09/01/25, service plan, updated on 08/13/25, and Temporary Service Plans (TSP’s) were reviewed during this survey. Resident 1 was admitted to hospice on 06/17/25. a. Resident 1's weight records from June 2025 to August 2025 were reviewed and indicated the following: * 06/05/25 - 179.0 pounds; * 07/22/25 - 158.0 pounds; and * 08/19/25 - 153.0 pounds. Resident 1 was identified with a significant weight loss on 07/22/25. An RN assessment was completed on 07/25/25 and interventions were identified as a result of the weight loss on 07/30/25. Interventions communicated to staff on a TSP included “encourage meals [sic] attendance cueing and remind resident to increase intake, offer room trays, report refusals to hospice, nurse and leadership.” On 08/18/25 a “Significant change of condition note” was completed by the RN and identified s/he “lost another 5.5 lbs. [pounds] in the last month [s/he] now weighs 153 lbs...Today staff reported [s/he] has been doing better and seen eating [his/her] breakfast independently...Staff are to…encourage meals and snacks and assist when needed. No other changes to plan of care this week.” On 08/25/25 a “Significant change of condition note” by the RN noted “...[Resident 1] has been feeding [himself/herself] without staff assistance and doing well...weight has not been obtained since last week but continued weight loss to be expected as part of the natural hospice decline.” No changes made at this time. On 09/04/25, Resident 1 weighed 149.5 pounds, indicating an additional 3.5-pound weight loss. During survey on 09/03/25, observations of Resident 1 included s/he ate 95% at breakfast and 100% at lunch with intermittent assistance from staff to cut up the French toast at breakfast and initiate using the utensils at breakfast and lunch. In an interview on 09/04/25 at 5:10 pm, Witness 1 (Consultant Nurse/RN) acknowledged the RN notes, on 08/18/25 and 08/25/25, lacked evidence the current weight interventions were consistently monitored for effectiveness. She acknowledged the facility had several different nurses involved in monitoring the resident and they no longer work in the facility. During the interview, Witness 1 indicated she had initiated implementation of new interventions on 09/04/25 which included meal monitoring, ordering weighted utensils, updated the MAR to obtain weight weekly, and contacted hospice to see if they want to consider a nutritional supplement. The facility failed to implemented weight loss interventions, evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, and monitor the continue weight loss decline. b. The facility failed to monitor the change of condition, at least weekly, until resolved for the following short-term changes of condition: • 05/29/25: Bruising left elbow; • 06/26/25: Discoloration left upper arm near armpit; • 07/02/25: Non-injury fall; • 07/16/25: Non-injury fall; • 07/23/25: Injury fall; • 07/24/25: Bruise to right elbow; • 07/24/25: Hospice shower aide noted “red sheer area to right knee”; • 08/02/25: “Light bleeding almost looked like acne but very small bleed into chux”; and • 08/06/25: Skin tear right elbow. During an interview with Witness 1, (Consultant Nurse/RN) on 09/04/25 at 5:10 pm, she indicated the facility had several nurses who were no longer working in the facility and acknowledged monitoring changes of condition until resolution was not happening consistently. The need to ensure interventions for weight loss were monitored for effectiveness, and changes of condition were monitored with weekly progress noted through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 5 (Director of Assisted Living/RCC), Staff 20 (AL Administrator) and Witness 1 on 09/05/25 at 9:40 am. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 3 moved into the community in 03/2021 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s dementia. The resident’s 06/03/25 through 09/01/25 Narrative Charting notes and 06/05 through 08/14/25 hospice notes were reviewed. There was no documented evidence that the following changes of condition were monitored at least weekly through resolution: • 08/04/25 – lifting toenail on right foot; • 08/07/25 – bleeding gums; and • 08/14/25 – “red area next to [genital] area.” On 09/04/25 at 3:30 pm, those findings were discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 5 (Director of Assisted Living/RCC), Staff 20 (AL Administrator), and Witness 1 (Administrator Consultant/RN). They acknowledged the findings, and no additional information was provided. 3. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 08/2020 with diagnoses including dementia and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Review of the resident's clinical record including Narrative Charting notes from 06/04/25 through 09/01/25, service plan updated on 09/03/25 and Temporary Service Plans (TSPs) were completed during the survey. The facility failed to monitor the change of condition, at least weekly, until resolved for the following changes of condition: • 06/04/25: Refusal of multiple morning medications; • 06/30/25: Changed diet to cut up food; • 07/16/25: Discontinued on Lasix, potassium and lisinopril; and • 08/21/25: Crushed all crushable medications. Additionally, multiple skin issues were identified from June 2025 to September 2025 and each issue was not consistently monitored to resolution. On 09/05/25 at 8:50 am, Witness 1 (Consultant Nurse, RN) reported Staff 20 (ALF Administrator, LPN) reviewed the resident’s skin. When a new facility RN started at the facility, s/he observed the resident’s skin and did not consistently follow up on each skin issue. That RN was no longer working at the facility. The need to ensure the facility monitored the change of condition, at least weekly, until resolved was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 4 (Interim Administrator) and Staff 20 (AL Administrator) on 09/05/25 at 8:45 am. They acknowledged the findings.
