Auth.: ORS 410.070, 443.004, 443.012, 443.450Stats. Implemented: ORS 443.004, 443.400-443.455, 443.991 This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to maintain infection prevention and control protocols to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment for 1 of 1 sampled resident (# 1) who received assistance with toileting. Findings include, but are not limited to: Throughout the re-licensure survey, from 03/31/26 through 04/02/26, the following observations were made to determine adherence to universal precautions for infection control: Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 12/2025 with diagnoses including vascular dementia. Per the service plan, dated 03/23/26, Resident 1 required two-person physical assistance with a gait belt and walker for transfer to the toilet, disposable briefs, and staff were to ensure perineal care (peri care) was provided. Two observations were made of caregivers transferring the resident to the toilet and providing peri care.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure medication and treatment orders were carried out as prescribed for 2 of 4 sampled residents (#s 1 and 4) whose MARs and physician orders were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 2017 with diagnoses including dementia and essential hypertension. Review of the resident’s 03/01/26 through 03/31/26 MAR and current physician orders identified the following: * The resident was prescribed amlodipine 10 mg tab, one tablet every night at bedtime. The order included parameters to notify the physician and hold the medication if the resident’s systolic blood pressure was less than 100 or the diastolic blood pressure was less than 60. There was no documented evidence the resident’s blood pressure was being taken prior to staff administering the amlodipine. In an interview on 04/01/26 at 1:05 pm, Staff 2 (RN) verified that staff had not been taking the resident’s blood pressure prior to administering amlodipine. The need to follow physician orders as written was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 3 (RCC), and Staff 8 (Director of Clinical Operations) on 04/02/26 at 3:45 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2.

The resident’s ABST assigned no time for: * Monitoring behavioral conditions or symptoms; * Ensuring non-drug interventions for behaviors; or * Cueing or redirecting due to cognitive impairment or dementia. * Additionally, the time assigned for assisting with bathing (ten minutes) was not accurate. Staff interviewed stated it took between 25 and 45 minutes to complete the bathing task with Resident 2. The need to ensure each resident’s ABST evaluation accurately captured care time and care elements that staff were providing to each resident as outlined in each individual service plan was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (RN) Staff 3 (RCC), Staff 8 (Director of Clinical Operations) on 04/02/2026 at 4:00 pm.
