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 interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure short-term changes of condition were monitored with weekly progress noted until the condition resolved for 4 of 4 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 3, and 4) who were reviewed for changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 4 moved into the facility in 10/2025 with diagnoses including dementia. The resident’s 02/02/26 through 05/03/26 clinical record was reviewed. The following was identified: In a 04/08/26 observation note, staff documented the resident experienced a witnessed fall and sustained a skin tear above his/her left eyebrow. There was no documented evidence the resident’s skin condition was monitored, with progress noted at least weekly through resolution. In an interview on 05/07/26 at 10:45 am, Staff 4 (RCC) confirmed the lack of documented monitoring through resolution for Resident 4’s skin tear. The need to ensure changes of condition were monitored with weekly progress noted until the condition resolved was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 4 on 05/07/26 at 2:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 09/2026 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. The resident’s 01/01/26 through 05/04/26 clinical record was reviewed and the following was identified: The resident’s service plan indicated the community nurse would monitor weeping edema in bilateral legs and a wound on the resident’s right shin weekly. There was no documented evidence the resident’s skin condition was monitored, with weekly progress noted through resolution. On 05/07/26 at 12:10 pm, Staff 4 (RCC) confirmed the documentation of skin monitoring did not occur at least weekly through resolution. On 05/07/26 at 2:35 pm, the need to ensure short-term changes of condition were monitored with weekly progress noted until the condition resolved was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 4. They acknowledged the findings. 3. Resident 2 moved into the facility in 02/2026 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s dementia. The resident’s 02/02/26 to 05/04/26 clinical record was reviewed and the following was identified: An observation note dated 03/29/26 documented an unwitnessed fall, which resulted in surgical repair of the resident’s left hip. The resident returned to the facility on 03/31/26. An observation note on 04/03/26 documented, “This morning caregiver reported that the bandage on injured hip is turning dark,” and the resident was sent to the ER to have the incision treated. There was no documented evidence of monitoring of the surgical incision again until 04/15/26, twelve days after the resident’s ER visit. The facility failed to document weekly progress of the surgical incision through resolution. Staff 6 (LPN) documented the incision was healed and discontinued monitoring on 04/25/26. On 05/07/26 at 12:10 pm, Staff 4 (RCC) confirmed monitoring of the incision had not been completed with weekly progress noted through resolution. The need to ensure short-term changes of condition were monitored with weekly progress noted until the condition resolved was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 4 on 05/07/26 at 2:35 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 4. Resident 3 moved into the facility in 02/2025 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease. The resident’s 02/02/26 through 05/03/26 clinical record was reviewed. The following was identified: In a 03/15/26 incident report, staff documented the resident “became combative” with the staff during a shower and “sustained a triangle shaped skin tear on [his/her] right arm.” There was no documented evidence the resident’s injury was monitored, with weekly progress noted through resolution. In an interview on 05/07/26 at 10:19 am, Staff 4 (RCC) confirmed the lack of documented monitoring through resolution for Resident 3’s skin tear. The need to ensure changes of condition were monitored with weekly progress documented until resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 4 on 05/07/26 at 1:35 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

Staff may provide assistance when necessary or requested.(13) TELEVISION ANTENNA OR CABLE SYSTEM. A RCF must provide a television antenna or cable system with an outlet in each resident unit. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to provide a call system that connected resident units to the care staff center or staff pagers and failed to provide a manually operated emergency call system in each toilet and bathing facility used by residents and visitors. Residents were unable to contact staff to request help when needed, constituting a threat to their health, safety, and welfare. Findings include, but are not limited to: The facility was a memory care unit that was had two “sides,” Monarch and Garden. Staff on either side communicated through walkie talkies. During the tour of the facility’s interior on 05/04/26 at 3:25 pm, direct care staff in Monarch and Garden units were interviewed regarding the facility’s call system. Staff 9 (CG) reported seeing pull cords in resident bathrooms, but had never responded to a call from one, and did not know if they were operable. Care staff were instructed to provide hourly safety checks to all residents to offer ADL assistance. Staff 9 reported some residents had whistles to use to summon care staff. In an interview on 05/04/26 at 4:14 pm, Staff 11 (CG) stated two residents in Garden unit had tab alarms and “one or two” residents in Monarch unit had whistles to summon care staff when they required assistance. He stated care staff provided hourly safety checks to residents to offer assistance with care needs. On 05/04/26 at 4:35 pm, Staff 1 (Administrator) confirmed the facility had no call system connecting resident units to the care staff. Staff 1 and Staff 4 (RCC) confirmed the pull cord call system in each resident’s bathroom had not been operable for “a couple of years.” The facility failed to ensure residents had a working call system, which left residents unable to call for assistance when needed and placed the residents’ health, safety, and welfare at risk. On 05/04/26 at 5:34 pm, a written plan of correction was requested of Staff 1, to be submitted by 9:30 am on 05/05/26. The plan of correction was accepted at 11:05 am on 05/05/26. The immediate risk was addressed; however, the facility will need to evaluate the overall system failure associated with the licensing violation. The need to have an operational call system that connected residents to the care staff or staff pagers was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 4 (RCC) on 05/05/26. They acknowledged the findings.
