OAR 411-054-0025 (7) Facility Administration: Policy & Procedure (7) POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. The facility must develop and implement written policies and procedures that promote high quality services, health and safety for residents, and incorporate the community based care principles of individuality, independence, dignity, privacy, choice, and a homelike environment. The facility must develop and implement: (a) A policy on the possession of firearms and ammunition within the facility. The policy must be disclosed in writing and by one other means of communication commonly used by the resident or potential resident in his or her daily living. (b) A written policy that prohibits sexual relations between any facility employee and a resident who did not have a pre-existing relationship. (c) Effective methods of responding to and resolving resident complaints. (d) All additional requirements for written policies and procedures as established in OAR 411-054-0012 (Requirements for New Construction or Initial Licensure), OAR 411-054-0040 (Change of Condition and Monitoring), OAR 411-054-0045 (Resident Health Services), and OAR 411-054-0085 (Refunds and Financial Management). (e) A policy on smoking. (A) The smoking policy must be in accordance with: (i) The Oregon Indoor Clean Air Act, ORS 433.835 to 433.875; (ii) The rules in OAR chapter 333, division 015; and (iii) Any other applicable state and local laws. (B) The facility may designate itself as non-smoking. (f) A policy for the referral of residents who may be victims of acute sexual assault to the nearest trained sexual assault examiner. The policy must include information regarding the collection of medical and forensic evidence that must be obtained within 86 hours of the incident. (g) A policy on facility employees not receiving gifts or money from residents. (h) Protocols for preventing and controlling infection, as described in OAR 411-054-0050. (i) LGBTQIA2S+ Nondiscrimination Notice: “(Name of care facility) does not discriminate and does not permit discrimination, including but not limited to bullying, abuse or harassment, based on an individual’s actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or human immunodeficiency virus status, or based on an individual’s association with another individual on account of the other individual’s actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or human immunodeficiency virus status. If you believe you have experienced this kind of discrimination, you may file a complaint with the Oregon Department of Human Services at (provide current contact information).” (j) ABST Policy for accurate and consistent implementation of the ABST. The policy must explain how a facility evaluates and accounts for both scheduled and unscheduled resident needs. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure effective methods of responding to and resolving resident complaints related to dining services. Findings include, but are not limited to: On 05/13/26 at 9:03 am, an unsampled resident reported being “pre-diabetic” and required a diet that adhered to two milligrams of sodium per day. S/he verbalized wanting, “thirty-two ounces of protein a day” and stated that substituting carbohydrates with that amount of protein would help his/her goal of not becoming diabetic. The unsampled resident stated s/he had talked with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 12 (Dietary Manager) about ensuring s/he received 32 ounces of protein to his/her diet. Staff 12 told the unsampled resident she could provide him/her a “Salisbury steak.” This was not an option for the unsampled resident as a serving of Salisbury steak contained four milligrams of sodium, which exceeded the physician’s prescribed daily sodium amount. The resident stated s/he was not currently receiving the amount of daily protein requested. The unsampled resident identified that there had been a process of resolving resident complaints through the resident council meetings. However, there had not been a note taker for the council meetings since 01/2026. S/he verified that the previous process of resolving complaints from the residents were that after the council notes were typed and accepted, the note taker would take the complaints to the correct department at the facility. At the next meeting, the issues would be reviewed by the residents who would then agree or disagree that the complaint had been resolved. Resident Council minutes, dated 01/20/26, were reviewed. The process of resolving complaints from residents were verified. Staff 1 reported that there had not been a note taker for the meeting since 01/20/26. On 05/13/26 at approximately 3:45 pm, Staff 12 stated that if the resident had any concerns relating to their dietary needs or wants, the system was that the resident told the Administrator, and the Administrator conveyed the message to the Dietary Manager. On 05/13/26 at 3:59 pm, Staff 1 and Staff 2 (RN) verified they had previously communicated the dietary concerns of residents to Staff 12. The need to ensure effective methods of responding to and resolving resident complaints was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2, and Staff 3 (RCC) on 05/13/26 at 2:50 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

OAR 411-054-0027 (1) Resident Rights and Protection - General (1) GENERAL RIGHTS. The facility must implement a residents' Bill of Rights. Each resident and the resident's designated representative, if appropriate, must be given a copy of the resident's rights and responsibilities before moving into the facility. The Bill of Rights must state that residents have the right: (a) To be treated with dignity and respect. (b) To be given informed choice and opportunity to select or refuse service and to accept responsibility for the consequences. (c) To be given informed consent before any nontherapeutic examination, observation or treatment is provided. (d) To participate in the development of their initial service plan and any revisions or updates at the time those changes are made. (e) To receive information about the method for evaluating their service needs and assessing costs for the services provided. (f) To exercise individual rights that do not infringe upon the rights or safety of others. (g) To be free from neglect, financial exploitation, verbal, mental, physical, or sexual abuse. (h) To receive services in a manner that protects privacy and dignity. (i) To have prompt access to review all of their records and to purchase photocopies. Photocopied records must be promptly provided, but in no case require more than two business days (excluding Saturday, Sunday, and holidays). (j) To have medical and other records kept confidential except as otherwise provided by law. (k) To associate and communicate privately with any individual of choice, to send and receive personal mail unopened, and to have reasonable access to the private use of a telephone. (l) To be free from physical restraints and inappropriate use of psychoactive medications. (m) To manage personal financial affairs unless legally restricted. (n) To have access to, and participate in, social activities. (o) To be encouraged and assisted to exercise rights as a citizen. (p) To be free of any written contract or agreement language with the facility that purports to waive their rights or the facility's liability for negligence. (q) To voice grievances and suggest changes in policies and services to either staff or outside representatives without fear of retaliation. (r) To be free of retaliation after they have exercised their rights provided by law or rule. (s) To have a safe and homelike environment. (t) To be free of discrimination in regard to race, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or religion. (u) To receive proper notification if requested to move-out of the facility, and to be required to move-out only for reasons stated in OAR 411-054-0080 (Involuntary Move-out Criteria) and have the opportunity for an administrative hearing, if applicable. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents lived in a home-like environment related to receiving hot meals for multiple sampled and unsampled residents who relied on the facility to prepare and serve their meals. Findings include, but are not limited to: In an interview on 05/13/26 at 9:03 am, an unsampled resident reported the meals were served “cold to lukewarm.” The current system for the residents’ meal service was the meals would be plated in the kitchen, and the kitchen staff would announce over the intercom when it was ready to be picked up by the assisted living staff. The plates of food were covered and set on a cart outside of the kitchen for staff to pick up. The unsampled resident identified that there were no problems with the meals until they “lost the hot table” during the winter of 2025. S/he described the previous system as food was placed in a steam table, which kept everything warm, and residents had a better choice of what they wanted. There was no steam table observed in the dining room during the lunch meal, nor was there any other system observed to be in place to keep the food warm. The menu reflected the following options for lunch on 05/13/26: * Homestyle meatloaf, roasted zucchini, mashed potatoes, poppy seed dinner roll, cherry cheesecake bar; or * Thyme chicken breast, peas and carrots, buttered rice. On 05/13/26 at 12:35 pm, after all of the residents received their lunch, the surveyors requested a sample tray. A covered plate of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and gravy was provided. Staff 12 (Dietary Manager) reported the kitchen had “run out of the rest of the food.” At 12:37 pm, the meatloaf’s temperature was 122.2 degrees F, and the temperature of the mashed potatoes and gravy was 113.5 degrees F. Per the Food Sanitation Rules, in order for food to be palatable, hot food should be served at 140 degrees. The need to ensure residents lived in a home-like environment, which included receiving hot meals, was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (RN), and Staff 3 (RCC) on 05/13/26 at 2:50 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

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 the residents’ care needs, provided clear direction to staff, and were implemented for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1 and 3) whose service plans were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 moved into the assisted living facility in 06/2022 with diagnoses of age-related osteoporosis and a history of fractures. During the acuity interview on 05/11/26, the resident was identified as recently being admitted onto hospice services and having re-occurring skin issues. The resident’s clinical record, including the service plan dated 03/09/26, was reviewed. Resident 3 was observed, and staff were interviewed. The service plan was not reflective of the resident's current needs, lacked clear instruction to staff, or was not being implemented in the following areas: * Placement of recliner remote relating to fall interventions; * Current activity interests; * Beverage preferences; * Behaviors and what they communicated; * Repositioning every two hours; and * Oral hygiene. Resident 3 was observed in a common area, sitting in a recliner, with the television on. Staff checked on the resident often and provided short one-on-one time with him/her while the resident was awake. Resident 3 was observed drinking three beverages, including orange juice, apple juice, and nutritional supplements, throughout the survey. Staff were observed to offer or provide repositioning during Resident 3’s waking hours but were not repositioning the resident when s/he was sleeping. On 05/13/26, between 10:20 am and 4:00 pm, Resident 3 was observed sleeping in the same position in the common area recliner. On 05/13/26 at 11:03 am, Staff 9 (CG) reported the resident enjoyed both the television programs that were observed playing during the survey, Resident 3’s beverage preferences, how the resident communicated pain, and how she was able to brush Resident 3’s teeth. This was not reflected in the resident’s service plan. The need to ensure the resident’s service plan was reflective of their current needs, provided clear direction to staff, and was implemented was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (RN), and Staff 3 (RCC) on 05/13/26 at 2:50 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 1 moved into the assisted living facility in 07/2025 with diagnoses including atrial fibrillation and presence of a cardiac pacemaker. The resident’s 02/10/26 through 05/12/26 clinical record was reviewed, interviews with staff were conducted, and observations were made. The service plan, dated 05/08/26, was not reflective of the resident's current needs or lacked clear instructions to staff in the following areas: * Fall interventions, including use of a cane; * HH service information; and * Ambulation status, including use of a cane. During the survey, the resident was observed to use a wheelchair for ambulation, and on 05/12/26 at 1:05 pm, Staff 5 (MT) and Staff 10 (CG) confirmed the resident used the wheelchair as the primary device for ambulation. The need to ensure residents’ service plans were reflective of their needs and provided clear direction to staff was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (RN) on 05/13/26 at 1:50 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
