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 injuries of unknown cause and incidents of abuse or suspected abuse were promptly investigated to rule out abuse/neglect and were reported to the local Seniors and People with Disabilities (SPD) office if unable to reasonably conclude the incidents were not a result of abuse and/or neglect for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 2 and 3) who experienced repeated falls and/or injuries of unknown cause. Findings include but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 moved into the memory care facility in 01/2023 with diagnoses including dementia with behavioral disturbances and hypertension. The resident's 07/22/25 and 10/22/25 service plans, Interim Service Plans (ISPs), 10/05/25 through 01/02/26 observation notes and 10/05/25 through 11/28/25 incident reports were reviewed. The 07/22/25 service plan indicated staff were to offer the resident toileting assistance “up to 4 times a shift to prevent falls” and to check on the resident “up to 8 times a shift.” The 10/08/25 ISP noted to keep the resident “in common area for better supervision.” a. Staff documented on 10/05/25 and 10/08/25 the resident fell and experienced bleeding from the head. There was no documented evidence the facility ruled out abuse or neglect for the above unwitnessed injury falls, including whether the service plan was being followed at the time of the falls. On 01/06/26 at 3:15 pm, Staff 1 (ED) confirmed the above incidents had not been reported to the local SPD office. b. Staff documented on 11/07/25 and 11/28/25 the resident had unwitnessed (injury or non-injury) falls, and abuse and neglect could not be ruled out. There was no documented evidence the incidents were reported to the local SPD as indicated in the reports. On 01/06/26 at 3:15 pm, Staff 1 confirmed the above incidents had not been reported to the local SPD office. c. The clinical records showed the following: * A 12/06/25 observation note identified “discoloration on left upper arm … increased swelling … additional bruising and fluid build up.” There was no documented evidence the injuries were immediately investigated to rule out abuse. On 01/06/26 at 3:15 pm, Staff 1 confirmed the above injuries lacked investigation and had not been reported to the local SPD office. The surveyor requested the above injuries be reported to the local SPD office, and confirmation was received on 01/07/26 at 2:33 pm. The need to investigate injuries of unknown cause and incidents of abuse or suspected abuse to rule out abuse and to notify the local SPD if abuse could not be ruled out was discussed with Staff 1 on 01/08/26 at 10:05 am. She acknowledged the findings. The surveyor requested the above incidents and injuries of unknown cause be reported to the local SPD office, and confirmation was received on 01/07/26 at 2:33 pm. 2. Resident 2 moved into the memory care facility in 02/2022 with diagnoses including dementia. The resident's 10/05/25 to 01/05/26 Observation notes, Interim Service Plans, incident reports, and incident investigations were reviewed, and interviews with staff and a witness were conducted. The following was identified: a. There was no documented evidence the following injuries of unknown cause were investigated to rule out abuse or neglect: * 12/13/25 7:33 am observation note: “Resident was found on the floor had redness on right knee”; and * 12/16/25 12:42 pm observation note: “Discoloration found all over resident’s left hand”. b. On 12/23/25 staff documented “[r]esident had an injury fall hit [her/his] head ... 911 came.” The incident investigation did not include the required components of: * Time, date, place and individuals present; * Description of the event as reported; * Response of staff at the time of the event; and * Follow-up action. The need to investigate injuries of unknown cause to rule out abuse or neglect of care, and to notify the local SPD if abuse could not be ruled out, and to include all required components on the investigation, was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) on 01/08/26 at 11:15 am. She acknowledged the findings. The surveyor requested the above injuries of unknown cause and incidents be reported to the local SPD office, and confirmation was received on 01/07/26 at 2:30 pm.

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, the facility administrator was responsible for ensuring the implementation of services, and service plans provided clear direction regarding the delivery of services 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 memory care facility in 01/2023 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease. S/he was subsequently admitted to hospice in 02/2025 with an admitting diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Observations were made of the resident's care from 01/05/26 through 01/07/26. Interviews with the resident’s family member and facility staff were conducted, and the service plan dated on 07/16/25 and interim service plans were reviewed. Resident 1's service plan was not reflective of the resident's current needs and lacked staff instruction for the following: * Instructions for behaviors related to chewing on thumb, bedding, and different objects; * Unclear directions for regular versus pureed diet texture, and crushed versus whole medications; * Instructions to staff on liquid consistency to be provided to Resident 1; * Instructions on to whom to report weight gain or loss, and changes in appetite; and * Instructions for aspiration precautions and interventions while choking. Staff 11 (MT) was interviewed on 01/06/26 at 12:18 pm and stated Resident 1 was on a pureed texture diet and was administered medications crushed. However, she was unable to find any instructions in the electronic health records system, and the service plan available to staff stated the resident’s diet was regular texture and s/he should be administered medication whole with water. During the observation of meals from 01/05/26 through 01/08/26, Resident 1 was observed to have been served a pureed texture diet. During the interview on 01/07/26, Staff 9 (CG) stated Resident’s 1 behavior “has been more challenging the last six months, [Resident 1] likes to grab everything and chews [his/her] thumb and bedding.” The need to ensure service plans were reflective of residents' current care needs, the facility administrator was responsible for ensuring the implementation of services, and service plans provided clear directions to staff regarding the delivery of services was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) on 01/08/26 at 11:26 am. She acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 3 moved into the memory care facility in 01/2023 with diagnoses including dementia with behavioral disturbance and hypertension. During the survey, the resident was observed to require the assistance of one staff member for transfers and toileting. The resident’s record was reviewed, including the current service plan dated 10/22/25 and interim service plans. Interviews with staff were conducted, and observations were made. The following was identified: Resident 3’s service plan lacked clear direction regarding the delivery of services and/or were not implemented in the following areas: * Conflicting information regarding transfer and toileting assistance, whether one staff or two staff members were required; * Use of a scoop-style of mattress while in bed; * Use of a cushion while in the wheelchair; * Use of an air mattress while in bed; * Providing a mechanical soft diet as outlined; * Providing activities as outlined; and * Providing repositioning status. The need to ensure service plans provided clear direction regarding the delivery of services and was implemented, was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED) on 01/06/26 at 3:15 pm and Staff 14 (Administrative Assistant/Concierge) on 01/07/26 at 10:35 am. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 2 moved into the memory care facility in 02/2022 with diagnoses including dementia. The resident's 10/05/25 to 01/05/26 Observation notes, the 12/31/25 service plan, Interim Service Plans, incident reports, and incident investigations were reviewed, observations were made, and interviews with staff and a witness were conducted. The following was identified: The service plan was not implemented in the following areas: * The service plan documented the intervention “takes furosemide daily and requires weight monitoring” and “Trained staff will obtain her/his weight once weekly for monitoring.” Record review showed weights taken only three times between 10/05/25 and 01/05/26; and * A recommendation from Speech Therapy to “add extra moisture like gravy, ranch, butter etc.” had been documented in 02/2025 but not added to the service plan. In interview on 01/07/26 at 11:15 am, Staff 1 (ED) acknowledged weekly weights were not done as ordered, and the speech therapy recommendation had not been added to the service plan and therefore was not done.

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 resident-specific actions or interventions were determined, documented, and communicated to staff on all shifts for short-term changes of condition, residents were monitored consistent with evaluated needs, and/or weekly progress was noted until the condition resolved for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 2 and 3) who experienced short-term changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 moved into the memory care facility in 01/2023 with diagnoses including dementia with behavioral disturbance and hypertension. On 01/05/26 during the acuity interview, Resident 3 was identified to have multiple falls. The resident’s record was reviewed, interviews with staff were conducted, and observations were made. The following was identified: * During the survey, the resident was observed to require staff assistance for transfers, toileting and feeding; * The 07/22/25 service plan indicated the resident “is a high fall risk.” Interventions included one-on-one staff companionship for up to 20 minutes per shift, assistance with non-skid socks, encouraging participation in activities, offering toileting assistance up to four times per shift, promoting wheelchair use, assisting with reading once per shift, performing outfit checks up to twice per shift and providing music with “a little bit of lighting” at bedtime to help prevent falls; * It was also noted staff placed a floor mat at the resident’s bedside to help prevent injury when falling out of bed; and * The 10/08/25 interim service plan indicated to keep the resident “in common area for better supervision.” a. Staff documented the following falls: * 10/05/25 – fall with injury; * 10/08/25, 11/05/25 and 11/28/25 – unwitnessed falls with injuries; and * 11/07/25 – unwitnessed fall without injury. There was no documented evidence the resident was monitored consistent with evaluated needs and service plan, including to review each incident to identify the circumstances of the falls, determine whether staff followed the current interventions, evaluate the effectiveness of the current interventions, and determine if alternative interventions were needed to prevent further falls. b. Staff documented the following changes of condition: * 10/05/25 – laceration following a fall; * 10/08/25 – a fall resulting in bleeding from the back of the head; * 11/05/25 – a fall resulted in bleeding from the resident’s left arm; * 11/07/25 – a fall; and * 11/28/25 – a fall sustained a small cut on the resident’s elbow. The above changes in condition lacked documented progress at least weekly until resolved. On 01/06/26 at 3:15 pm, the above was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED) and 01/08/26 at 10:05 am. Staff 1 confirmed no weekly progress notes were documented until the conditions were resolved and acknowledged the resident was not monitored consistent with evaluated needs and service plan. The need to ensure the facility evaluated and determined what resident-specific actions or interventions were needed following repeat falls and monitored the resident consistent with evaluated needs and service plan, and documented progress at least weekly until resolved was reviewed with Staff 1 on 01/08/26 at 10:05 am. She acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 2 moved into the memory care facility in 02/2022 with diagnoses including dementia and was identified in the acuity interview as having a history of repeat falls. The resident's 10/05/25 to 01/05/26 Observation notes and Interim Service Plans were reviewed, and interviews with staff and a witness were conducted. The following was identified: Staff documented on 12/23/25 the resident returned from the facility after an emergency room visit related to a chair hitting the back of his/her head from a fall. A TSP was created and documented only “R back of head” with no specific monitoring instructions or instructions for staff, such as monitoring for nausea, vomiting, or neurological changes. The need to ensure the facility monitored the resident consistent with evaluated needs and service plan was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED) on 01/07/26 at 11:15 am. She 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.

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 an RN assessment was completed for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 3) who experienced significant changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the memory care facility in 01/2023 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease. S/he was subsequently admitted to hospice in 02/2025. Clinical records, including the current service plan, dated 07/16/25, progress notes from 10/07/25 through 01/05/26, weight records from 08/2025 through 01/2026 were reviewed. Interviews with facility staff were conducted. According to the resident's service plan, the resident's weight was scheduled to be taken each month “for RN monitoring.” The following weights were recorded by the facility: * 08/2025 - no weight recorded; * 09/02/2025 – 141.6 pounds; * 10/17/2025 – 132.8 pounds; * 11/19/2025 – 116.0 pounds; * 12/01/2025 – 122.2 pounds; and * 01/06/26 - Resident was weighed per surveyor request and recorded to be 114.8 pounds. The resident experienced an 8.8-pound weight loss, or 6.21% of his/her total body weight, in one month (09/03/25 through 10/17/25) and an additional 16.8 pound weight loss, or 12.65% of his/her total body weight, in the next consecutive month (10/17/25 through 11/19/25). This represented a significant change of condition. The resident experienced an additional significant change of condition with the loss of 7.4 pounds in one month, or 6.05% of his/her total body weight, between 12/01/25 and 01/06/26. During an interview on 01/06/26 at 2:35 pm, Staff 2 (Health Service Director/RN) stated, “Hospice does weight clinic for everyone in the facility.” Staff 2 indicated she entered the hospice weight data in the facility’s electronic health records system. During meal observations conducted in the dining room from 01/05/26 through 01/07/26 the following was noted: * 01/05/26 – The resident was fed lunch from 12:18 pm to approximately 12:30 pm. His/her total intake was 100%; * 01/06/26 - The resident was fed lunch from 12:05 pm to approximately 12:14 pm and ate 100%; and * 01/07/26 - The resident was fed lunch from 12:10 pm to approximately 12:15 pm and ate 100%. During an interview on 01/07/26 at 12:15 pm, Staff 9 (CG) stated, "You never know with [Resident 1], if [s/he] is hungry or not. Always opens [his/her] mouth and eats fast." The ongoing weight loss constituted a significant change of condition requiring an RN assessment. There was no documented evidence the facility RN conducted an assessment which included documentation of findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. A treatment order from hospice was received on 01/07/26, while the survey team was on site, stating “no interventions needed for weight loss as it is expected due to disease progression.” The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed for all residents who experienced a significant change of condition was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) on 01/08/26 at 11:26 am. She acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 3 moved into the memory care facility in 01/2023 with diagnoses including dementia with behavioral disturbance. On 01/05/26 during the acuity interview, Resident 3 was identified as requiring one-on-one meal intake assistance from staff. During the survey the resident was observed receiving assistance from staff for meal intake. Resident 3's weight record was reviewed, and the following was noted: * 09/03/25 – 85.4 pounds; * 11/29/25 – 86 pounds; * 12/18/25 – 79.2 pounds; and * 01/06/26 – 81.6 pounds (during the survey). Review of the weight record indicated Resident 3 experienced a loss of 6.9 pounds, or 7.9 % body weight, between 11/29/25 and 12/18/25. This represented a significant change of condition for which an RN assessment of the weight loss was required. There was no documented evidence a facility RN completed an assessment which included findings, resident status and interventions made as a result of the assessment. During an interview on 01/06/26 at 10:55 am Staff 2 (Health Services Director/RN) confirmed she did not complete the assessment for the resident’s weight loss. The need to ensure a RN assessment was completed for residents who experienced a significant weight loss was discussed with Staff 2 on 01/06/26 at 10:55 am and Staff 1 (ED) on 01/06/26 at 3:15 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
