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 ensure incidents, accidents, and injuries of unknown cause were promptly investigated to rule out abuse and neglect and reported to the local Seniors and People with Disabilities (SPD) office when required for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 3). Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 10/2025 with diagnoses including dementia and anxiety. Review of the resident’s 10/15/25 through 12/16/25 record, including progress notes and incident reports, was completed. The resident had an unwitnessed fall on 10/18/25 where s/he sustained a left hip fracture. There was no documented evidence the incident with injury was immediately investigated and reported to the local SPD. During an interview with Staff 1 (Director of Health Services) on 12/17/25 at 11:20 am, she reviewed the incident report and verified an investigation was not completed, and the fall with fracture was not reported to the local SPD. The facility was requested to report the incident to the local SPD office, and a confirmation of the report was provided to the survey team prior to exit. The need to ensure incidents were investigated promptly to rule out abuse and neglect, and reported to the local SPD office when required, was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (Director of Clinical Operations), Staff 3 (Nurse Manager), and Staff 25 (RCC) on 12/18/25. The staff acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 3 moved into the community in 05/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease. In an Interdisciplinary Note dated 11/02/25, staff documented the presence of a bruise to the resident’s right lower extremity. There was no documented evidence the injury of unknown cause was immediately investigated to rule out abuse. During an interview at 2:15 pm on 12/17/25, Staff 25 (RCC) confirmed the bruise was not investigated and had not been reported to the local SPD office. The surveyor requested the injury of unknown cause be reported to the local SPD office. Confirmation of reporting was received at 12:17 pm on 12/18/25. The need to ensure injuries of unknown cause were reported to the local SPD office as suspected abuse unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably ruled out abuse was reviewed with Staff 1 (Director of Health Services), Staff 2 (Director of Clinical Operations), Staff 3 (Nurse Manager), and Staff 25 (RCC) on 12/18/25 at 2:57 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

C0231 411-054-0028 (1-3) Reporting & Investigating Abuse – Other Action 1. Actions to Correct Rule Violation: Two incidents for separate residents were identified as lacking a documented investigation. Those incidents have been reported to Adult Protective Services (APS). A comprehensive internal investigation has been conducted and has ruled out abuse or neglect for both incidents. APS is conducting an independent investigation as well, and we will implement appropriate measures to address any APS findings. All incident reports dated back to July 1, 2025 will be reviewed to verify that an investigation was conducted and documented and abuse and neglect ruled out. Any incidents without a documented investigation or where abuse and neglect were not ruled out will be investigated, investigation documented, and APS reports will be made for any incident where abuse and neglect could not be ruled out. All residents will be assessed for signs of injuries of unknown origin, abuse, or neglect. Any identified injuries or signs of abuse or neglect will be promptly investigated and reported in accordance with mandatory reporting requirements. 2. Systemic Changes to Prevent Recurrence: The policy and procedure for response to incidents, including but not limited to incidents of abuse, suspected abuse, or injuries of unknown origin will be reviewed and updated. All Nurses and Med Techs will receive education on the policy, including: Requirement for completion of an incident report for injuries of unknown origin; Requirement for thorough and timely investigation of all incidents; Requirement to rule out abuse or neglect within 24-hours of incident or report the incident to APS within that 24-hours. All Nurse Managers will be educated on the policy, including: Requirement for incident investigations to include time, date, place, and individuals present; Description of the event as reported; Response of staff at the time of the event; Follow-up action, including whether or not abuse and neglect have been ruled out and whether or not the incident has been reported to APS. The Administrator will review all incidents. All new incident reports will be reviewed daily by the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT), Monday through Friday, during stand-up meetings to ensure appropriate investigation and reporting. The 24-hour (or 72-hour on Monday) report will be reviewed by the IDT during stand-up meetings to review for any noted injuries of unknown origin without a corresponding incident report as well as other noted events that may require an incident report. 3. Monitoring to Ensure Sustained Compliance: On a quarterly basis, the Nurse Manager will report to the quality assurance committee any instances of events requiring an incident report being found in progress notes without an incident report already created and address any trends. The Nurse Manager will also report to the quality assurance committee any instances in which abuse or neglect could not be ruled out and confirm timely reporting The quality assurance committee will adjust the plan as needed to identify any trends found. 4.

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 each resident who experienced a short-term change of condition was monitored, with weekly progress noted through resolution, for 1 of 4 sampled residents (# 3) who experienced short-term changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 moved into the community in 05/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease. The resident’s clinical record was reviewed. Resident 3 experienced the following changes of condition between 09/16/25 and 12/15/25: a. On 10/09/25 and 10/21/25, the facility received physician orders to change the resident’s diet texture to ground with gravy and nectar thick liquids, respectively. Observations of two lunch meals were completed on 12/16/25 and 12/17/25, and the resident received the physician ordered diet texture and liquid consistency. In an interview with Staff 25 (RCC) on 12/17/25 at 4:17 pm, she acknowledged there was no documented monitoring of the changes to the resident’s diet to ensure there were no complications related to swallowing. b. On 11/14/25 and 12/02/25, the resident’s Interdisciplinary Notes indicated redness to the sacrum and bilateral heels and toes, respectively. Observations throughout the survey confirmed the resident’s heels were floated, and s/he received frequent positional changes to offload pressure to boney prominences. In an interview with Staff 25 on 12/17/25 at 4:17 pm, she acknowledged there was no documented monitoring of the resident’s skin redness to ensure continued skin integrity. The need to ensure short-term changes of condition included weekly progress noted in the resident record until the condition resolved was discussed with Staff 1 (Director of Health Services), Staff 2 (Director of Clinical Operations), Staff 3 (Nurse Manager), and Staff 25 on 12/18/25 at 2:57 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

C0270 411-054-0040 (1-2) Change of Condition and Monitoring 1. Actions to Correct Rule Violation: One resident was identified as having had multiple short-term changes of condition without weekly progress notes indicating nurse monitoring through resolution. The RN has assessed the short-term changes of condition, and weekly progress notes will be made through resolution or until the change of condition is no longer considered to be short-term. All residents will be reviewed to determine if a short-term change of condition exists. Residents identified as having a short-term change in condition will have nurse monitoring and corresponding progress notes no less than weekly through resolution. 2. Systemic Changes to Prevent Recurrence: The Monitoring and Reporting policy will be updated to specify the day charge nurse to complete alert charting to ensure weekly progress note indicating monitoring through resolution. The 24-hour (or 72-hour on Monday) report will be reviewed by the IDT during stand-up meetings to review for any potential short-term changes of condition that may require a nurse assessment and monitoring. At weekly Radar meetings, the team will review any short-term changes of condition, including the documented progress notes. The IDT will review for thoroughness and determine if any additional assessment or service plan updates are needed. 3. Monitoring to Ensure Sustained Compliance: On a quarterly basis, Nurse Managers will report to the quality assurance committee on short-term changes of condition for the quarter, including the date the short-term change of condition occurred, verification of weekly progress notes indicating monitoring, and the date the short-term change of condition was resolved. The quality assurance committee will adjust the plan as needed to identify any trends found. 4. Person Responsible: Nurse Manager

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 residents who experienced significant changes of condition were assessed by an RN and/or the assessments were completed in a timely manner and included findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment, for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1 and 3) who experienced significant changes in condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 10/2025 with diagnoses including dementia and anxiety and was receiving hospice services. Multiple observations of the resident between 12/16/25 and 12/18/25 showed the resident in bed. The resident did not leave his/her apartment. Staff provided two-person assist with bed mobility and all cares, as well as meal assistance. Resident 1’s record was reviewed, including 10/15/25 through 12/16/25 progress notes, incident reports, provider communications, service plan, and interim service plans. a. On 10/18/25 the progress notes and an incident report indicated the resident had an unwitnessed fall that resulted in a left hip fracture, hospitalization with surgical repair, and a readmit to the facility on 11/11/25. Staff indicated when Resident 1 admitted to the facility s/he used a wheelchair for mobility and was a one-person assist with toileting and ADL tasks. Since his/her return to the facility, staff stated the resident was primarily bedbound due to the pain from the left hip but was a two-person Hoyer lift the few times s/he was assisted up from bed. Staff reported the resident needed two-person assist for bed mobility and toileting, and s/he needed one to two-person assist for all ADLs now. The fall with hip fracture and decline in mobility constituted a significant change of condition. b. During the acuity interview, staff reported that Resident 1 had a significant weight loss. Observations on 12/16/25 and 12/17/25 at lunch time found the resident refused all meal trays offered but would drink a Boost shake with assistance. On 12/18/25, a visitor was observed assisting the resident to drink a glass of foamed milk with chocolate instant breakfast. Weight records were reviewed and identified the following: 10/15/25 = 119.4 pounds; and 11/21/25 = 96.4 pounds. From 10/15/25 to 11/21/25 the resident lost 23 pounds, or 19.4% of his/her total body weight, which constituted a severe weight loss and required an RN assessment. On 12/17/25 a hospice nurse provided documentation of the resident’s current arm circumference record indicating continued weight loss: 21.5 cm on 11/26/25; and 19.5 cm on 12/17/25. Staff reported Resident 1 refused most of his/her meals or would only accept a chocolate protein shake or chocolate instant breakfast drink in foamed milk since admission. Staff 7 (CNA) reported that at times the resident would accept a few small bites of chocolate pudding and liked ice water between bites. During an interview on 12/17/25 at 10:45 am with Staff 2 (Director of Clinical Operations), she reported there was no documented RN assessment completed for the significant changes of condition. The facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed for the resident’s fall with hip fracture, which caused a decline in mobility and ADL functioning, as well as a severe weight loss from admission, through hospitalization, and then return to the facility. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (Director of Health Services), Staff 2, Staff 3 (Nurse Manager), and Staff 25 (RCC) on 12/18/25. The staff acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 3 moved into the community in 05/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease. During the acuity interview on 12/16/25, staff reported Resident 3 recently admitted to hospice due to a general decline, with weight loss and a decrease in overall appetite. The resident’s record was reviewed, and interviews with staff were conducted. The following was identified: a. According to an Interdisciplinary Note dated 10/10/25, the resident received a hospice evaluation the week of 10/13/25 and then admitted to hospice on 10/16/25. Staff 2 (Director of Clinical Operations) documented a “Significant Change Initiation-Hospice Admission” note on 10/21/25, or five days following the resident’s admission to hospice. The facility failed to ensure the significant change of condition assessment was completed timely. b. Staff documented the following weights: * 07/10/25 – 114.20 pounds; * 08/18/25 – 110.40 pounds; * 09/18/25 – No weight recorded; * 10/03/25 – 108.40 pounds; * 11/19/25 – 96.0 pounds; and * 12/07/25 – 89.0 pounds (requested during survey). Between 08/18/25 and 11/19/25, the resident experienced a weight loss of 14.4 pounds, or 13.04% of his/her total body weight in 90 days. The weight loss constituted a significant change of condition and required an RN assessment. There was no documented evidence of an RN assessment for the significant change of condition related to the severe weight loss that included RN findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the weight loss. In an interview at 11:09 am on 12/18/25, Staff 2 acknowledged no significant change of condition assessment had been completed for the resident’s severe weight loss. According to the RN assessment for the resident’s admission to hospice, dated 10/21/25, Staff 2 identified the resident’s initial weight loss secondary to a decrease in alertness, oral intake, and interest in food. Moreover, Staff 2 implemented interventions that would mitigate further weight loss. These interventions included diet modifications and offering smaller meals of preferred foods as tolerated. Lunch observations were made on 12/16/25 and 12/17/25. During each meal, caregiving staff were observed to provide two different plates of food and to provide one-on-one assistance with eating. With each food item, the resident accepted small bites of every item and then grimaced and shook her head no. On 12/16/25, caregiving staff also offered two different flavors of nutritional supplement. The resident took small sips of each flavor and then grimaced and shook her head. Resident 3 then indicated she wanted to go to bed. When questioned, the resident denied hunger or oral pain. The resident consumed negligible amounts of food and liquids both days. Interviews were completed with caregivers and the resident’s family during the survey. The interviews confirmed the resident had demonstrated a decline in interest in food with minimal intake overall. In addition, the resident’s family indicated s/he had previously “raved” about the food but was no longer interested. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed timely for residents who experienced a significant change of condition, including findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment was reviewed with Staff 1 (Director of Health Services), Staff 2, Staff 3 (Nurse Manager), and Staff 25 (RCC) on 12/18/25 at 2:57 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

C0280 OAR 411-054-0045 (1)(a-f)(A)(C-F) Resident Health Services 1. Actions to Correct Rule Violation: Two residents were identified as missing a documented RN assessment, service plan changes, and updated ABST for a significant change in condition. The RN Assessment has been completed and the service plans and ABST have been updated. All residents will be reviewed by the RN to determine whether or not a significant change of condition has occurred since the last RN assessment. All significant changes of condition will be assessed by an RN and the service plan and ABST will be updated. 2.Systemic Changes to Prevent Recurrence A significant change of condition checklist will be established to provide guidance to direct care staff on when to initiate the significant change of condition protocol by notifying the Nurse Manager or the Manager-on-Duty when the Nurse Manager is not present. The 24-hour (or 72-hour on Monday) report will be reviewed by the IDT during stand-up meetings to review for any potential significant changes of condition that may require a nurse assessment and monitoring. At weekly Radar meetings, the IDT will review any significant changes of condition, including the RN assessment, service plan updates, and ABST updates. 3. Monitoring to Ensure Sustained Compliance: On a quarterly basis, the Nurse Manager will report to the quality assurance committee on significant changes of condition, including the date the significant change of condition occurred, the dates the RN assessment, service plan update, and ABST update was completed. The quality assurance committee will adjust the plan as needed to identify any trends found. 4. Person Responsible: Nurse Manager

(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. Auth.: ORS 410.070 & 443.450 Stats. Implemented: ORS 443.400 - 443.455, 443.991 Hist.: SPD 14-2007, f. 8-31-07, cert. ef. 11-1-07 This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the use of a supportive device with restraining qualities was thoroughly assessed by an RN, PT, or OT prior to use, failed to instruct caregivers on the correct use of and precautions related to the supportive device, failed to document use of the device in the resident's service plan, and failed to evaluate the devices quarterly for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 2 and 3) who used side rails. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 moved into the community in 12/2024 with diagnoses including macrocytic anemia (a blood disorder affecting red blood cells). On 12/16/25 at 11:15 am, the surveyor observed two quarter-length side rails in the up position on the resident's bed. There was no information documented in Resident 2’s service plan, dated 09/15/25, relating to the use of side rails, instructions to caregivers on the correct use of the side rails, or precautions related to the supportive device. On 12/16/25 at 3:20 pm, Staff 25 (RCC) confirmed there was no documented evidence of a quarterly evaluation or an assessment of the side rails completed by an RN, PT, or OT. The need to ensure supportive devices with restraining qualities were thoroughly assessed by an RN, PT, or OT prior to use, caregivers were instructed on the correct use and precautions, the devices were documented in the resident’s service plan, and were evaluated quarterly was discussed with Staff 1 (Director of Health Services), Staff 2 (Director of Clinical Operations), Staff 3 (Nurse Manager), and Staff 25 on 12/18/25 at 2:14 pm.

C0340 OAR 411-054-0060 Restraints and Supportive Devices 1. Actions to Correct Rule Violation: The two residents identified as having bed mobility bars or other supportive devices with restraining qualities in place without required evaluation and documentation have been evaluated for continued appropriateness. Devices were removed for both residents following the evaluation. All resident beds have been evaluated for the presence of bed mobility bars or other supportive devices with restraining qualities. Residents identified as using these devices have been audited to confirm the presence of a qualifying evaluation, provider order, and corresponding service plan item. For any resident who does not meet required criteria, the device has been removed and alternative safety interventions implemented as appropriate. 2. Systemic Changes to Prevent Recurrence: The bed mobility bars and supportive devices with restraining qualities policy will be updated to reflect that the Nurse Manager must approve the installation of any bed mobility bars or supportive devices with restraining qualities prior to their installation. The Nurse Manager will monitor for a qualified evaluation, provider order, and corresponding service plan item. The Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) will maintain an active list of residents with bed mobility bars and other supportive devices with restraining qualities in place. This list will be reviewed weekly during Radar meetings to verify that required evaluations, orders, and service plan documentation are current and complete. 3. Monitoring to Ensure Sustained Compliance: On a quarterly basis, all beds will be visualized by a member of the quality assurance committee to confirm that no unauthorized bed mobility bars or assistive devices have been installed. 4.
