OAR 411-054-0028 (1-3) Reporting & Investigating Abuse-Other Action (Amended 12/15/21)(1) The facility must have policies and procedures in place to assure the prevention and appropriate response to any incident. In the case of incidents of abuse, suspected abuse, or injury of unknown cause, policies and procedures must follow the requirements outlined below. In the case of incidents that are not abuse or injuries of unknown cause where abuse has been ruled out, the facility must have policies and procedures in place to respond appropriately, which may include such things as re-assessment, monitoring, or medication review. (2) ABUSE REPORTING. Abuse is prohibited. The facility employees, agents and licensee must not permit, aid, or engage in abuse of residents who are under their care. (a) STAFF REPORTING. All facility employees are required to immediately report abuse and suspected abuse to the local SPD office, or the local AAA, the facility administrator, or to the facility administrator's designee. (b) FACILITY REPORTING. The facility administrator, or designee, must immediately notify the local SPD office, or the local AAA, of any incident of abuse or suspected abuse, including events overheard or witnessed by observation. (c) LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY. The local law enforcement agency must be called first when the suspected abuse is believed to be a crime (e.g., rape, murder, assault, burglary, kidnapping, theft of controlled substances, etc.). (d) INJURY OF UNKNOWN CAUSE. Physical injury of unknown cause must be reported to the local SPD office, or the local AAA, as suspected abuse, unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably concludes and documents that the physical injury is not the result of abuse. (3) FACILITY INVESTIGATION. In addition to immediately reporting abuse or suspected abuse to SPD, AAA, or the law enforcement agency, the facility must promptly investigate all reports of abuse and suspected abuse and take measures necessary to protect residents and prevent the reoccurrence of abuse. Investigation of suspected abuse must document: (a) Time, date, place and individuals present; (b) Description of the event as reported; (c) Response of staff at the time of the event; (d) Follow-up action; and (e) Administrator's review. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to report a physical injury of unknown cause to the local Department office as suspected abuse unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably concluded and documented that the physical injury was not the result of abuse, for 1 of 1 sampled residents (#2) with a documented injury of unknown cause. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 02/2022 with diagnoses of Alzheimer’s disease and edema. Staff documented in a progress note dated 04/11/26, “Resident has a big bruise on [his/her] left outer arm below [his/her] elbow. Not sure where or when it came.” The bruise represented an injury of unknown cause for which the facility was required to either immediately investigate and document that it reasonably concluded the bruise was not the result of abuse or neglect or report the bruise to the local Department office as suspected abuse. There was no documented evidence the facility investigated the injury and documented it was not the result of abuse. The facility did not report the injury to the local Department office as suspected abuse. On 06/23/26, staff were observed providing personal care to the resident. No bruise was observed on the resident’s left arm. In an interview on 06/24/26, Staff 2 (LPN) confirmed the facility had not conducted an investigation of the injury or reported the injury to the local Department office. She was not able to provide any additional documentation about the injury. The need to ensure the facility either immediately investigated an injury of unknown cause and documented that it reasonably concluded the injury was not the result of abuse or neglect, or reported the injury to the local Department office as suspected abuse, was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2, Staff 3 (RN) and Witness 1 (Consultant) on 06/25/26 at 12:55 pm. They acknowledged the findings.
- Plan of Correction
-
Staff will be trained on appropriate reporting policies and procedures, and will be specifically trained on reporting any injury of unknown origin to the med tech to conduct an incident report and appropriate supporting documentation. Administrator and RN will actively review incident reports, fall monitor footage, and staff documentation daily during the weekdays to ensure that any injury of unknown origin is reported appropriately and timely. Investigations will be completed within 24 hours of incident. IR's will be completed weekly.

- Plan of Correction
-
1. Resident 1's record will be updated to include all missing information. RN will include detailed, patient-centered move-in evaluations ensuring mandatory fields are completed for preferred name/pronouns/gender identity, explicit bathing routines (type, frequency, time of day), cultural preferences/traditions, and dental status. RN will also integrate critical historical context—such as tracking unexplained weight loss/gain and identifying triggers from unsuccessful prior placements—into the standard evaluation process. 2.All corrections will be made going forward on all new admits and then RN and RCC will review within 48 hours and make corrections as needed. All corrections will be made on all new admits and then RN and RCC will review new admits to make sure all information is present.

(c) If the resident's service plan is revised and updated at the quarterly review, changes must be dated and initialed, and prior historical information must be maintained. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure resident service plans reflected the resident’s needs and provided clear direction regarding the delivery of services for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 2 and 3) whose service plans were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 02/2022 with diagnoses of Alzheimer’s disease and edema. Observations were made of the resident, interviews were conducted with care staff and records were reviewed. Except for meals, the resident spent his/her time in his/her room in bed. The resident used an alternating pressure air mattress that was scooped on the sides. Staff floated the resident’s heels with a pillow, positioned another pillow between his/her feet and put heel protectors on both the resident’s feet. Staff positioned a vinyl fall mat next to the resident’s bed. The resident’s TV was on during the day. When staff escorted the resident to meals in his/her manual wheelchair, because the resident did not bend his/her knees, the resident’s feet did not fit on the footrests but, rather, rested on the top of them. In an interview on 06/24/26 at 11:00 am, Staff 6 (CG) reported staff used the fall mat and lowered the resident’s bed to prevent falls and injuries. She reported hospice staff provided all bathing for the resident; the facility staff no longer provided bathing services. She said the family told her Resident 2 liked Disney movies and “lighter” [lighthearted] TV shows and movies. Resident 2’s current service plan, dated 05/07/26, was not reflective or lacked clear direction for staff in the following areas: * There was no information about the air mattress, use of pillows to float and cushion the resident’s feet or use of the heel protectors; * There was no information about the use of the fall mat and lowering the resident’s bed; * The service plan still indicated facility staff assisted with showers; * There was no information regarding the resident’s preferred TV programs; and * There were no instructions for staff about safely positioning the resident’s feet on the wheelchair footrests. The need to ensure service plans were reflective of the resident’s care needs and provided clear direction regarding the delivery of services was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (LPN), Staff 3 (RN) and Witness 1 (Consultant) on 06/25/26 at 12:55 pm. They acknowledged the information lacking from the current service plan. 2. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 07/2022 with diagnoses including multiple sclerosis and cellulitis. Observations were made of the resident, interviews were conducted with care staff and records were reviewed. During the survey, the resident wore a hip abductor orthotic on his/her upper thighs. The resident wore eyeglasses. The resident had a bedrail, approximately 24 inches wide, on the exit side of the bed, positioned securely near the head of the bed. In an interview on 06/24/26 at 11:00 am, Staff 6 (CG) reported the resident returned from rehab recently with the brace following a fall and fractured hip. She confirmed the resident wore the eyeglasses routinely, rather than just for reading. She explained the resident sometimes spoke quickly, making him/her difficult to understand. Staff were instructed to be patient and ask the resident to repeat him/herself and to speak slower. Staff 6 reported Resident 3 preferred to eat breakfast in his/her room rather than in the dining room. Resident 3’s current service plan, dated 06/16/26, was not reflective or lacked clear direction for staff in the following areas: * There was no information in the service plan, in the section titled “My Story,” about the resident’s preferred activities and hobbies, favorite foods, family connections, etc;. * The service plan directed staff to assist with applying the hip abductor brace but lacked instructions for how it was to be applied; * The service plan did not indicate the resident preferred to eat breakfast in his/her room; * Information in the service plan was contradictory about the resident’s ability to communicate with others; * The service plan did not indicate if the resident wore eyeglasses routinely or for reading; and * The use of the bed rail was noted, but there were no instructions for staff for monitoring the bed rail for safety. The need to ensure service plans were reflective of the resident’s care needs and provided clear direction regarding the delivery of services, was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (LPN), Staff 3 (RN) and Witness 1 (Consultant) on 06/25/26 at 12:55 pm. They acknowledged the information lacking from the current service plan.

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, document and communicate to staff what action or intervention was needed for a resident following a change of condition, ensure the instructions or interventions were resident-specific, note weekly progress of the condition until resolved and monitor the resident consistent with his or her evaluated needs and service plan for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#2) with multiple short term changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 02/2022 with diagnoses of Alzheimer’s disease and edema. The resident’s current service plan, dated 05/07/26, and progress notes, incident reports and temporary service plans (TSPs) from 03/12/26 through 06/22/26 were reviewed. The following was identified: a. On 03/12/26 and 03/13/26 the resident was found on the floor in his/her room; the facility identified these as falls. No injuries were observed or reported. Following each event, the facility failed to determine, document and communicate to staff what actions or interventions were needed for the resident, other than to place the resident on “alert charting.” Following the first fall, the facility did not monitor whether the existing fall interventions were effective or new interventions needed to be developed to try to prevent future falls. Following the second fall, the facility documented in the incident report that staff were not to leave the resident unattended in his/her wheelchair. However, this new intervention was not added to the resident’s service plan. In an interview on 06/24/26 at 12:00 pm, Staff 2 (LPN) stated she had verbally instructed staff not to leave the resident in the wheelchair unattended but was unaware that the intervention had not been added to the resident’s service plan. b. Staff documented in a progress note dated 04/11/26 that Resident 2 had a big bruise on the left outer arm. There was no documented evidence the facility determined, documented and communicated to staff what action or intervention was needed for the resident or documented weekly progress of the condition until it resolved. On 06/23/26, staff were observed providing personal care to the resident. No bruise was observed on the resident’s left arm. In an interview on 06/24/26 at 12:00 pm, Staff 2 (LPN) confirmed there was no additional documentation about the bruise. She stated the staff should have completed an incident report which would have triggered the nurses to evaluate the injury and implement interventions, including monitoring of the bruise. The need to ensure the facility consistently determined, documented and communicated to staff what action or intervention was needed for a resident following a change of condition, ensured the instructions or interventions were resident-specific, noted weekly progress of the condition until resolved and monitored the resident consistent with his or her evaluated needs and service plan was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2, Staff 3 (RN) and Witness 1 (Consultant) on 06/25/26 at 12:55 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 02/2022 with diagnoses of Alzheimer’s disease and edema. During the acuity interview on 06/22/26, Resident 2 was identified as needing 2-person full assistance with ADLs, including toileting and incontinence care. On 06/23/26 at 12:34 pm, the surveyor obtained permission to observe personal care to determine adherence to universal precautions for infection control. During the observation, Staff 6 (CG) and Staff 7 (CG) provided incontinence care to Resident 2 while the resident was in his/her bed. Both staff donned gloves, lowered the resident’s pants, removed the soiled brief and wiped the resident’s bottom. Then, without changing the soiled gloves, the staff applied a clean brief, adjusted the resident’s pants, positioned pillows under the resident’s legs, put heel protectors on the resident’s feet, covered the resident with a comforter and put the resident’s oxygen cannula on him/her. The staff did not follow basic universal precautions for infection control by neglecting to change their gloves between clean and dirty tasks. The need to ensure staff adhered to infection prevention and control protocols during the provision of personal care was reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (LPN), Staff 3 (RN) and Witness 1 (Consultant) on 06/25/26 at 12:55 pm. They acknowledged the staff did not follow proper infection control practices.
