OAR 411-054-0036 (1-4) Service Plan: General (1) If the resident has a Person-Centered Service Plan pursuant to 411- 004-0030, the facility must incorporate all elements identified in the person centered service plan into the resident's service plan. (2) SERVICE PLAN. The service plan must reflect the resident's needs as identified in the evaluation and include resident preferences that support the principles of dignity, privacy, choice, individuality, and independence. (a) The service plan must be completed: (A) Before resident move-in, with updates and changes as appropriate within the first 30-days; and (B) Following quarterly evaluations. (b) The service plan must be readily available to staff and provide clear direction regarding the delivery of services. (c) The service plan must include a written description of who shall provide the services and what, when, how, and how often the services shall be provided. (d) Changes and entries made to the service plan must be dated and initialed. (e) When the resident experiences a significant change of condition the service plan must be reviewed and updated as needed. (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. (a) Service plans must be completed quarterly after the resident moves into the facility. (b) The quarterly evaluation is the basis of the resident's quarterly service plan. (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 resident care needs, provided clear instruction to staff, including a written description of who should provide the services and what, when, how, and how often the services should be provided, and/or were implemented, for 2 of 4 sampled residents (#s 1 and 5) whose service plans were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the MCC in 12/2025 with diagnoses including?dementia, subdural hematoma (a brain bleed), and right-sided weakness. Resident 1’s service plan, dated 01/08/25, and interim service plans (ISPs), dated 12/11/25 through 02/16/26, were reviewed, observations were made, and interviews with staff, the resident, and a witness were conducted. The service plan was not reflective of the resident’s care needs and lacked clear instructions to staff in the following areas: * Dressing; * Showering; * Toileting; * Side rail use; and * Exercise program. The service plan was not implemented in the following areas: * Transferring to wheelchair three times a day; and * Positioning when eating in bed. An ISP dated 01/27/26 stated, “As time allows, get [resident] into wheelchair 3x day. Ideally at meals.” On 01/25/26, Resident 1 was not observed in the dining room during lunch service. Staff 14 (CG) reported that she had asked the resident if he would like to stay in his/her room and have lunch in bed. Staff 14 reported she was unaware that the resident’s service plan stated s/he was to be transferred to his/her wheelchair three times a day, ideally at meals. An ISP dated 01/02/26 stated, “Help [resident] with written instructions for HEP [home exercise program] that are placed on bedside table.” The service plan, dated 01/08/26, did not include the resident’s exercise program. In an interview on 02/25/26 at 2:00 pm, Staff 1 (ED), confirmed that the resident still required the exercise program and that it should have been included in the service plan. On 02/26/26 at 11:45 am, the need to ensure the service plan was reflective of the resident’s current status, provided clear instruction to staff, and was implemented, was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (Assistant ED), Staff 3 (Health Services, RN), and?Staff 4 (RCC). They acknowledged the findings. ??2. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 08/2025 with diagnoses including late onset Alzheimer’s disease with behavioral disturbance. The resident’s clinical record, dated 11/23/25 through 02/22/26, was reviewed. Observations were made and interviews were conducted with staff. The 01/24/26 service plan and 11/27/25 to 02/20/26 interim service plans were not reflective of the resident’s current status, lacked clear instructions for staff, or were not implemented in the following areas: * Use of a cushion while in the wheelchair; * Oxygen therapy status, including current settings and required care; * Escorting to activities; * Eating status; * Ambulation, repositioning, transfer, and mobility status; and * Fall prevention interventions. During the acuity interview on 02/23/26, staff reported the resident had frequent falls. The 01/24/26 service plan showed the resident required two-person assistance for transfers, incontinence care, ambulation, mobility, and repositioning. During an observation on 02/24/26, one staff member provided transfer and incontinence care. The need to ensure service plans were reflective of the resident’s status, provided clear direction to staff regarding the delivery of services, and were implemented was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Assistant ED), Staff 3 (Health Services, RN), and Staff 4 (RCC) on 02/26/26 at 10:05 am. They acknowledged the findings.

Resident 5’s MAR, dated 02/01/26 through 02/23/26, and corresponding prescriber orders were reviewed. The following was identified. The resident had orders for the following PRN medications for pain: * Acetaminophen Extra Strength 500 mg tablet; take 2 tablets by mouth three times daily as need (mild-moderate pain); and * Oxycodone 5 mg tablet; take 1 tablet by mouth every four hours as needed for moderate pain (unresponsive to non-opioid medication). a. Between 02/01/26 and 02/23/26, Resident 5 received acetaminophen 31 times. On four occasions the acetaminophen was documented as ineffective, and on 11 occasions there was no documentation of the acetaminophen being effective or ineffective. The resident never received oxycodone between 02/01/26 and 02/23/26, and on multiple occasions the resident received successive doses of acetaminophen (see b). Staff 6 (MT) reported in an interview on 02/26/26 at 10:10 am that s/he didn’t like to give the resident oxycodone because s/he asked for acetaminophen by name. b. Between 02/01/26 and 02/23/26, Resident 5 received acetaminophen at an interval shorter than the prescribed eight hours,14 of 31 times. The need to ensure medications and treatments were carried out as prescribed was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Assistant ED), Staff 3 (Health Services, RN), and?Staff 4 (RCC) on 02/26/26 at 11:45 am.

There was no documented evidence those prescribed medications were administered as ordered when the resident did not have a bowel movement. b. Resident 1 had physician orders to apply oxygen at 3.5 liters per minute for increased dyspnea (shortness of breath) and hypoxia (low oxygen levels). During observations made on 02/24/26, the resident did not have the oxygen in place. Surveyor notified staff, and they placed the oxygen on the resident. The resident did not have any signs of shortness of breath or difficulty breathing during the time the oxygen was not placed. The need to ensure physicians' orders were carried out as prescribed was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Assistant ED), Staff 3 (Health Services, RN), and Staff 4 (RCC) on 02/26/26 at 10:05 am.
