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 observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to determine and document what action or intervention was needed for short-term changes of condition, communicate the action or intervention to staff on each shift and document progress through resolution, and failed to monitor residents consistent with evaluated needs for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 3 and 6) who were reviewed for skin issues. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 3 was admitted into the facility in 11/2019 with diagnoses including transient cerebral ischemic attack (stroke) and scabies. The resident's clinical record, including progress notes dated 03/26/26 through 06/22/26, service plan addendums (SPAs), and facility incident reports were reviewed, observations were made, and interviews with facility staff were conducted between 06/22/26 and 06/25/26. a. From 05/01/26 to 06/10/26, Resident 3 was identified to have a significant weight loss of 27.9 pounds or 17.73% of his/her total body weight in one month. On 06/24/26 at 9:01 am, Staff 2 (RN/Health Services Director) reported she had seen a decline in the resident’s weight. There was no documented evidence the facility determined and documented what action or intervention was needed for the weight loss, communicated the action or intervention to staff on each shift and monitored the resident with documented progress at least weekly through resolution. b. On 05/21/26 the resident was diagnosed with scabies and throughout the survey, Resident 3 was observed to have a raised red rash on his/her arms, legs, and stomach, and was noted itching his/her arms. On 06/24/26 at 9:25 am, Staff 3 (LPN/Health Services Assistant) reported the resident had a history of reoccurring scabies and currently s/he was at baseline and therefore staff were not directed to monitor the resident’s skin. There was no documented evidence the facility monitored the resident consistent with evaluated needs for the recurrent scabies. c. The resident experienced multiple falls from 05/21/26 to 06/19/26 and the record lacked documented evidence actions or interventions were determined, documented, and communicated to staff and the changes were monitored with weekly progress noted to resolution, for the following: * 05/21/26 – unwitnessed injury fall in the front parking lot; * 06/04/26 – unwitnessed injury fall in the resident’s room; * 06/11/26 – unwitnessed non-injury fall in the resident’s room; * 06/17/26 – unwitnessed non-injury fall in the resident’s room at 12:00 am; * 06/19/26 – unwitnessed non-injury fall in the resident’s room at 12:00 am; * 06/19/26 – unwitnessed non-injury fall in the resident’s room at 7:30 am; and * 06/19/26 – unwitnessed non-injury fall in the resident’s room at 9:50 am. The resident’s service plan instructed staff to remind the resident to use his/her pendant to call for assistance, to use his/her four wheeled walker when ambulating, and to check on the resident at routine intervals throughout the day and night. Documented facility SPAs, dated 06/17/26 and 06/19/26, noted for staff to check on the resident at routine intervals and to remind the resident how to use the call system. On 06/24/26 at 8:28 am, Resident 3 was observed ambulating unsteadily in his/her apartment with a four wheeled walker. On 06/24/26 at 1:50 pm, Staff 3 confirmed there was no additional documentation related to the resident’s multiple falls. d. On 06/24/26 at 8:28 am, Staff 10 (MT) reported Resident 3 had a change in cognition recently and had been exhibiting more behaviors including hallucinations, talking to self, and had been found wandering in the facility’s front and back parking lots. Staff documented the following: * 06/13/26 - Staff saw Resident 3 in the back parking lot and re-directed him/her safely to his/her apartment; * 06/14/26 - Resident appears to be agitated this shift and was mumbling to self; * 06/15/26 - Resident has been very confused this morning; * 06/18/26 - Resident “not at baseline” and “[S/he] was tired and having hallucinations talking to the wall very moody”; and * 06/19/26 - Resident seems a bit confused. There was no documented evidence the facility determined actions or interventions, communicated them to staff, and monitored the above changes with weekly progress noted to resolution. On 06/24/26 at 9:01 am, Staff 2 acknowledged the lack of documentation. The need to ensure the facility determined and documented what action or intervention was needed, communicatee the action or intervention to staff on each shift, and documented progress at least weekly through resolution was reviewed with Staff 1 (Interim ED), Staff 2, and Staff 3 on 06/25/26 at 11:20 am. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 6 was admitted into the facility in 10/2025 with diagnoses including dementia. The resident's clinical record, including progress notes dated 03/23/26 through 06/22/26, service plan addendums (SPAs), and facility incident reports were reviewed, observations were made, and interviews with facility staff were conducted between 06/22/26 and 06/25/26. Resident 6 was seen by an outside provider once weekly for wound care and the outside provider documented the following: * 04/01/26 – “Back wound remains red and open, 2.5 cm x 3 cm”; * 04/09/26 – “Wound to upper back 7 cm x 6.2 cm”; * 04/30/26 – “Ongoing back wound [with] redness 6 cm x 5 cm”; * 05/07/26 – “Patient had wound to back 7 cm x 5.5 cm, not open, stage 1”; * 05/14/26 – “Dressing changed to mid back, ongoing redness, slightly improving 6 cm x 5 cm”; * 06/04/26 – “Wound to back 6 cm x 4.5 cm”; and * 06/11/26 – “Back wound remains red, scant drainage to dressing. 5 cm x 4.5 cm”. On 06/23/26 at 10:13 am, Staff 2 reported she was unaware the resident had a current and ongoing back wound. On 06/24/26 at 9:40 am, Staff 2 completed a skin assessment and noted the resident had two upper back wounds measuring “3cm x 3cm” and “2cm x 2cm”. There was no documented evidence the facility determined and documented what action or intervention was needed for the skin condition, communicated the action or intervention to staff on each shift, and monitored the resident with documented progress through resolution. The need to ensure the facility determined and documented what action or intervention was needed, communicate the action or intervention to staff on each shift, and documented weekly progress through resolution was reviewed with Staff 1 (Interim ED), Staff 2, and Staff 3 on 06/25/26 at 11:20 am. They acknowledged the findings.
