OAR 411-054-0030 (1)(c-d) Resident Services: Activities (c) A daily program of social and recreational activities that are based upon individual and group interests, physical, mental, and psychosocial needs, and creates opportunities for active participation in the community at large; (d) Equipment, supplies and space to meet individual and group activity needs; This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to provide a daily program of social and recreational activities based upon individual and group interests, and physical, mental, and psychosocial needs for multiple sampled and unsampled residents. Findings include, but are not limited to: During the re-licensure survey from 05/04/26 through 05/06/26, observations showed there was a lack of scheduled and unscheduled activities provided for residents living in the MCC. Throughout each day of the survey, care staff turned on cartoon/animated movies in the common area of the unit - only one or two residents appeared to watch or pay attention to what was on the television. Review of the 05/2026 activity calendar showed the following activities were scheduled on Monday 05/04/26: 8:30 am Keep Out Challenge in Ranch House; 9:15 am Keep Out Challenge in Tuscan House; 10:00 am Bingo (Rose Arbor Dining); 1:00 pm Kentucky Derby Bingo in Ranch House; 2:00 pm Kentucky Derby Bingo in Tuscan House; 3:00 pm Hidden Birds Game (Rose Arbor); and 3:45 pm Kentucky Derby Horse Race (Rose Arbor). During an interview on 05/05/26 from 2:30 pm to 3:08 pm, Staff 7 (Activity Director) and Staff 8 (Activities Assistant) reported Bingo was the only activity that happened in the Tuscan House on Monday 05/04/26. On 05/05/26 the following activities were scheduled: Tequila Karaoke and Cinco De Mayo Trivia with “no set scheduled time for activities”. In the Tuscan House on 05/05/26 from 10:38 am to1:05 pm, there were no activities observed. Residents were observed sitting in the dining room, in their rooms, or watching television in the common area. In the Ranch House unit on 05/05/26 from 10:00 am to 2:30 pm, there were no activities observed. Residents were observed sitting in the dining room, in their rooms, or watching television in the common area. During an observation and interview on 05/05/26 from 2:30 pm to 3:08 pm, with Staff 7 and Staff 8, the following was identified: • Staff 7 and Staff 8 were seen in the assisted living gathering paper crossword printouts and drinks for residents, which was not the scheduled Tequila Karaoke activity in the MCC. • Staff 7 reported on Tuesdays and Thursdays, she and the other activity staff were scheduled to take residents to medical appointments. “When we have appointments, we can’t provide activities for the other residents.” Staff 7 reported there was one medical appointment scheduled for 05/05/26. • Staff 7 further reported there were no activity staff scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays. She stated, “I expect caregivers to do the activities.” During an interview on 05/05/26 at 1:50 pm Staff 11 (CG) and Staff 14 (CG), stated they were given no instructions to conduct activities with the MCC residents. The staff members were shown an activity book on the unit with ideas for group or individual activities. The staff members identified activity items kept in a cabinet but re-stated they were given no instructions to use the activity book or activity items available. Staff 11 stated sometimes they played music but mostly had movies playing for the residents. The need to ensure the facility provided a daily program of social and recreational activities based upon individual and group interests, and physical, mental, and psychosocial needs was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (RN) and Staff 3 (LPN) on 05/06/26 at 1:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. During activity staff absences the floor staff will be given activity tasks to be completed during their shifts. These activities will be on the care giver task list. Included on the task list will be activity ideas and where to find needed supplies for each activity choice. 2. Re-education will be given to current employees and education on the task list additions. New hires will go through an activity orientation where the importance of activities is emphasized along with training on the task list and location of activity supplies. 3. The activity director, the activity assistant and the administrator will meet weekly to monitor the progress of the POC. 4. The activity director and administrator are responsible for seeing that the POC is being followed.

Implemented: ORS 441.111, 441.114, 443.400-443.455, 443.991 This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the initial resident evaluation contained all required elements for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#1) whose move-in evaluation was reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 1 was previously living in the assisted living facility, experienced a change of condition related to cognitive decline, and was transferred to the MCC in 03/2026 with diagnoses including vascular dementia. The 03/23/26 to 05/04/26 clinical record was reviewed. The following was identified: The facility used a change of condition evaluation rather than an initial evaluation for Resident 1’s admission into the MCC, therefore, the evaluation failed to address the following required elements: * Preferred name, pronouns, and gender identity; * Visits to health practitioners, emergency room, hospital, or nursing facility in the past 12 months; * Effective non-drug interventions for mental health issues; * Personality: including how the person copes with change or challenging situations; * Complex medication regimen; * History of dehydration; * Recent losses; and * Unsuccessful prior placements. The need to ensure the initial evaluation contained information addressing all required elements was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (RN), and Staff 3 (LPN) on 05/06/26 at 4:15 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. The LN will ensure that a completely new move in evaluation is completed for all admissions. Including residents moving from the on-campus AL to memory care prior to the move. 2. A clinical team admission or move to on-campus memory care flow chart has been developed for all clinical staff to follow. Clinical staff will also follow our current admissions policy. 3. Microsoft Teams will be utilized for each new resident to keep track of each admission task and assigned to each LN as well as reviewing each new resident’s file at their 30-day evaluation. 4. The RN and Administrator will be responsible for ensuring that the policy will be followed and all evaluations will be completed prior to admission.

(B) An individualized activity plan must be developed for each resident based on their activity evaluation. The plan must reflect the resident ' s activity preferences and needs. (C) A selection of daily structured and non-structured activities must be provided and included on the resident ' s activity service or care plan as appropriate. Daily activity options based on resident evaluation may include but are not limited to: (i) Occupation or chore related tasks; (ii) Scheduled and planned events (e.g. entertainment, outings); (iii) Spontaneous activities for enjoyment or those that may help diffuse a behavior; (iv) One to one activities that encourage positive relationships between residents and staff (e.g. life story, reminiscing, music); (v) Spiritual, creative, and intellectual activities; (vi) Sensory stimulation activities; (vii) Physical activities that enhance or maintain a resident ' s ability to ambulate or move; and (viii) Outdoor activities. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to develop individual activity plans that were based on activity evaluations for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 2 and 3) whose service plans were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 1 and 2’s service plans were reviewed, and observations were made of the residents. The following was identified: Though the service plans included some information about activity preferences, there was no documented evidence of an evaluation that addressed the following required elements: * Current abilities and skills; * Emotional and social needs and patterns; * Physical abilities and limitations; * Adaptations necessary for the resident to participate; and * Identification of activities for behavioral interventions. On 05/05/26 at 2:30 pm, Staff 7 (Activities Director) verified neither she nor her staff had evaluated the residents that included all of the above listed requirements. She also confirmed that an individual activity plan had not been developed for each resident. The need to develop individualized activity plans that were based on an evaluation of the resident's activity interests, abilities, and needs was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (RN), and Staff 3 (LPN) on 05/06/26 at 1:00 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. The activity director has been educated on how to complete the activity evaluation/ life story upon admission. We are exploring the ability to create a separate activity plan for each resident as part of our current system. 2. The activity director will meet with residents upon admission to review their current life story obtained a part of the admission process. 3. The activity director will review upon the 30 day review and every 90 days. 4. The activity director and administrator will ensure compliance.
