OAR 411-054-0045 (1)(a-f)(A)(C-F) Resident Health Services Resident Health Services (1) RESIDENT HEALTH SERVICES. The facility must provide health services and have systems in place to respond to the 24-hour care needs of residents. The system must:(a) Include written policies and procedures on medical emergency response for all shifts.(b) Include an Oregon licensed nurse who is regularly scheduled for onsite duties at the facility and who is available for phone consultation.(c) Assure an adequate number of nursing hours relevant to the census and acuity of the resident population. IICs must meet contract requirements concerning nursing hours.(d) Ensure that the facility RN is notified of nursing needs as identified in OAR 411-054-0034 (Resident Move-In and Evaluation) or OAR 411-054-0036 (Service Plan - General).(e) Define the duties, responsibilities and limitations of the facility nurse in policy and procedures, admission, and disclosure material.(f) Licensed nurses must deliver the following nursing services:(A) Registered nurse (RN) assessment in accordance with facility policy and resident condition. At minimum, the RN must assess all residents with a significant change of condition. The assessment may be a full or problem focused assessment as determined by the RN. A chart review or phone consultation may be performed as part of this assessment. The RN must document findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of this assessment. The assessment must be timely, but is not required prior to emergency response in acute situations.(C) Monitoring of Resident Condition. The facility must specify the role of the licensed nurse in the facility's monitoring and reporting system.(D) Participation on Service Planning Team. If the resident experiences a significant change of condition and the service plan is updated, the licensed nurse must participate on the Service Planning Team, or must review the service plan with date and signature within 48 hours.(E) Health Care Teaching and Counseling. A licensed nurse must provide individual and group education activities as required by individual service plans and facility policies.(F) Intermittent Direct Nursing Services. If a resident requires nursing services that are not available through hospice, home health, a third-party referral, or the task cannot be delegated to facility staff, the facility must arrange to have such services provided on an intermittent or temporary basis. Such services may be of a temporary nature as defined in facility policy, admission agreements and disclosure information. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed timely and documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#2) whose weights were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 04/2008 with diagnoses including traumatic brain injury. Weight records, dated 01/02/26 through 07/02/26, progress notes dated 04/27/26 through 07/20/26, and meal monitoring records dated June 2026 and 07/01/26-07/30/26 indicated the following: * A 12-pound weight gain between 03/02/26 and 04/02/26, which constituted a 7.36% significant gain in one month. * A 23-pound weight loss between 04/02/26 and 06/02/26, which constituted a 13.14% significant weight loss in three months. * A 10-pound weight gain, between 06/02/26 and 07/02/26, which constituted a 6.57% significant weight gain in one month. A current weight at the time of survey was requested but not obtained. The service plan, dated 06/01/26, indicated the resident was independent with meals. The resident was provided with regular textures with some cut up items for easy chewing and swallowing. S/he could eat and drink on his/her own with minimal staff reminders. The resident used a scoop/high sided bowl for meals, and s/he required reminders to use utensils for non-finger food items. The resident had ongoing memory issues, with some intermittent confusion related to his/her diagnoses, but could make needs known, could state likes/dislikes, and could request seconds when s/he was still hungry. Multiple daily observations of the resident at meals and in the common areas between 07/28/26 and 07/30/26 showed the resident seated in his/her wheelchair in the living room or dining room for large chunks of the day. The resident was assisted to use the restroom and was able to wheel himself/herself to the dining room for meals. The resident was observed to eat 100% of food and fluids provided at meals and snacks, and the resident requested a second helping at two meals which s/he received and ate 100% of the seconds. Interviews with staff and the resident between 07/28/26 and 07/30/26 showed the following: Resident 2 indicated s/he received plenty to eat and drink and loved his/her snacks. The resident enjoyed the food that was served and had no complaints. Staff 1 (Administrator) indicated she had not noticed any decline in the resident’s intake, any increased swelling in extremities, any loose clothing, and the resident had had no illnesses. Staff 1 believed the weights that were recorded were not correct. She had calibrated the scale a few times but was unsure the last time the scale had been serviced. Staff 3 and 6 (Universal Workers) indicated the resident ate meals in the dining room. The staff further indicated the resident had a great appetite, rarely ate less than 100%, and would frequently ask for seconds when still hungry. Staff 3 and 6 stated the resident could eat on his/her own once items were delivered. The resident preferred to eat with his/her fingers but could use utensils without issues. The staff further indicated the resident had not had any major changes and had been eating and behaving as his/her usual self. Neither of the staff noticed any change in how the resident’s clothes fit, any change in appearance, or signs of weight loss or gain. Staff 7 (RN) indicated she was aware of the weight changes that were documented but did not believe they were accurate. The resident had not had any acute issues, no swelling or diagnoses that would affect his/her weight. There were no changes to the resident’s intake; s/he was routinely eating 100%. Staff 7 believed the scale was not giving accurate information and also that staff might not be using it properly. Staff 7 was confident the loss and gain noted with the resident’s recorded weights was not an actual change. No RN assessment could be located for the significant weight loss or significant weight gain. The facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed for the resident’s significant weight changes, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made were discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 7 (RN) on 07/30/26. The staff acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. Forest Meadows had an established Weight Monitoring and Significant Weight Change Policy in place at the time of survey and provided it to the surveyor. Resident #2 will be reweighed using the facility's established procedure and a verified scale. The RN will complete and document a current nursing assessment, resident status, findings, and any indicated interventions/follow-up. Management has checked the facility scales, and professional calibration of both scales has been arranged; calibration/service records will be retained. 2. The facility determined that the existing policy was not consistently followed when significant weight changes were identified. Care staff are required to report abnormal findings, and the RN is responsible for weight-trend review, determination of clinical significance, assessment, interventions, provider communication when appropriate, and follow-up. The policy in effect during the survey used a 3-pound one-week verification threshold; the current policy strengthens that trigger to 2 pounds. Unexpected or significant changes will be rechecked promptly using consistent technique and the same calibrated scale, and the RN will complete and document the required assessment and follow-through. Staff and the RN will be re-educated on these requirements. 3. The RN will review all resident weights at least monthly. Significant or unexpected changes will be reviewed when identified, and residents with a significant change will be weighed weekly until stable and reassessed by the RN. The Administrator will review weight records and corresponding RN follow-up monthly for 90 days and quarterly thereafter. 4. The facility RN is responsible for weight-trend review, nursing assessment, clinical follow-up, documentation, interventions, and provider communication when indicated. The Administrator is responsible for ensuring the weighing schedule is followed, equipment is maintained/calibrated, staff training is completed, and the policy is followed.

OAR 411-054-0090 (1-2) Fire and Life Safety: Safety (1) FIRE DRILLS. All fire drills shall be conducted according to the Oregon Fire Code (OFC). (a) Unannounced fire drills must be conducted and recorded every other month at different times of the day, evening, and night shifts. (b) Fire and life safety instruction to staff must be provided on alternate months. (c) The Fire Authority may develop an alternative fire drill plan for the facility. Any such plan must be submitted to the Department. (d) A written fire drill record must be kept to document fire drills that include: (A) Date and time of day; (B) Location of simulated fire origin; (C) The escape route used; (D) Problems encountered and comments relating to residents who resisted or failed to participate in the drills; (E) Evacuation time period needed; (F) Staff members on duty and participating; and (G) Number of occupants evacuated. (e) Alternate exit routes must be used during fire drills to react to varying potential fire origin points. (f) The evacuation capability of the residents and staff is a function of both the ability of the residents to evacuate and the assistance provided by the staff. (g) Staff must provide fire evacuation assistance to residents from the building to a designated point of safety as determined by the Fire Authority having jurisdiction. Points of safety may include, outside the building, through a horizontal exit, or other areas as determined by the Fire Authority having jurisdiction. (h) The fire alarm system shall be activated during each fire drill, unless otherwise directed by the Fire Authority having jurisdiction. (2) If the facility is unable to meet the applicable evacuation level, the facility must make an immediate effort to make changes to ensure the evacuation standard is met. Changes must include, but not be limited to: (a) Increasing staff levels, (b) Changing staff assignments, (c) Requesting change in resident rooms, and (d) Arranging for special equipment. After making necessary changes, if the facility fails to meet the applicable evacuation level, the facility must issue an involuntary move-out notice to the residents in accordance with OAR 411-054-0080. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure fire drills were conducted in accordance with the Oregon Fire Code on alternate months, on alternating shifts, and other fire life safety training was completed on the alternating, non-drill months. Findings include, but are not limited to: Fire and life safety records, reviewed between 01/2026 and 07/29/2026, showed: * One drill was documented as completed in the last seven months; * Fire drills were not conducted on alternating months with fire life safety training; and * Drills were not conducted on alternating shifts to include all three shifts. The need to ensure fire drills were conducted on alternating months from life safety training and conducted on alternating shifts, was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) on 07/29/26. She acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. Forest Meadows will continue its established fire-safety activities but will clearly distinguish and document qualifying fire drills from staff fire/life-safety instruction. The next required unannounced fire drill and the required alternate-month staff instruction will be completed and documented. Each drill record will include the date/time, simulated fire origin, escape route used, problems encountered, evacuation time, staff on duty/participating, number of occupants evacuated, and other required information. 2. A 12-month fire/life-safety compliance calendar will be used. Unannounced fire drills will be conducted every other month and rotated among the facility's day (6 a.m.-2 p.m.), evening (2 p.m.-10 p.m.), and night (10 p.m.-6 a.m.) shifts. Staff fire/life-safety instruction will be completed on the alternating non-drill months. Alternate exit routes will be used as appropriate, and the fire alarm will be activated during drills unless otherwise directed by the Fire Authority. The facility's additional monthly fire-safety practice may continue but will not be counted as a required drill unless all required drill elements are completed and documented. 3. The Administrator will review the fire/life-safety calendar and supporting documentation each month and sign the annual compliance tracker when that month's required activity and documentation are complete. Any missed or incomplete item will be corrected promptly. 4. The Administrator is responsible for scheduling, conducting or assigning, and documenting required fire drills and staff fire/life-safety instruction, maintaining the annual compliance tracker, and assuring required records are retained.

OAR 411-054-0090 (5) Fire and Life Safety: Training for Residents (5) TRAINING FOR RESIDENTS. Residents must be instructed about the facility's fire and life safety procedures per OFC. (a) Each resident must be instructed within 24 hours of admission and re-instructed, at least annually, in general safety procedures, evacuation methods, responsibilities during fire drills, and designated meeting places outside the building or within the fire safe area in the event of an actual fire. This requirement does not apply to residents whose mental capability does not allow for following such instruction. (b) A written record of fire safety training, including content of the training sessions and the residents attending, must be kept. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents were instructed in fire and life safety procedures within 24 hours of admission and at least annually. Findings include, but are not limited to: Fire and life safety records were reviewed and discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) on 07/29/26. There was no documentation that residents were provided fire training within 24 hours of admission and again at least annually, related to general fire and life safety procedures, evacuation methods, responsibilities, and designated meeting places inside or outside the building in the event of an actual fire. In an interview on 07/29/26, Staff 1 indicated she had talked to residents about fire training but did not have documentation of the discussion for the newest resident or for annual training. Staff 1 acknowledged the need to provide the residents with fire and life safety training and to document the training.

Plan of Correction

1. What actions will be taken to correct the rule violation for each example/resident? 1. The Administrator will audit the records of all current residents to verify documentation of required fire/life-safety instruction. If documentation cannot be located, the resident will be re-instructed, when cognitively able to participate, and the training will be documented. The newest resident's record will be specifically reviewed and corrected as needed. Residents whose mental capability does not allow them to follow the instruction will have that limitation documented. 2. Forest Meadows' normal admission practice includes showing new residents the exits, evacuation procedures, and designated meeting location. A standardized New Resident Fire & Life Safety Orientation Checklist will now be required to document completion within 24 hours of admission. The checklist records the date/time, topics reviewed, resident understanding/assistance needs, and staff completing the orientation. Annual resident fire/life-safety training will be tracked on a master calendar and documented on a training record showing content and attendance. A completed copy of each new-resident admission checklist will be sent to the Licensee/Owner as confirmation that the checklist was completed. 3. Admission fire/life-safety orientation will be completed and documented within 24 hours of each admission. The Administrator will review the annual resident training calendar monthly to identify upcoming or overdue annual training and correct missing documentation immediately. 4. The Administrator is responsible for assuring resident fire/life-safety instruction and documentation are completed within 24 hours of admission and at least annually, and for maintaining the admission checklist and annual training records. The Licensee/Owner's role is limited to receiving the completed new-resident checklist as confirmation of completion. 09/28/26

Plan of Correction

1. The urine-affected back patio/ramp/AC area has been pressure washed and the odor, residue, and visible mess removed. New outdoor patio carpet has been purchased for replacement, and replacement cushions have been ordered for the patio chairs with cigarette-burn damage. Cited indoor carpet areas will be cleaned. Wheelchair-damaged/splintered doorways, walls, and bathroom/shower-area surfaces will be sanded, repaired, sealed/painted as appropriate, and left smooth, intact, and cleanable; deteriorated caulking/grout and damaged bathroom shelving will be repaired or replaced as needed. The smoking-porch area and sprinkler-head areas will be cleaned of cobwebs, dust, and debris. Cited furniture will be cleaned, repaired, or replaced as needed. A qualified outside upholstery/vinyl service is being sought for the sectional; if it cannot be satisfactorily repaired, it will be replaced. All cited cleaning and repairs will be completed no later than 09/28/26. 2. A practical environmental cleaning/repair system will be used for this 15-bed facility. The housekeeper will complete routine housekeeping duties, and all staff will report odors, spills, damaged surfaces, torn upholstery, or other cleaning/repair concerns when observed. If the housekeeper is unavailable or unable to safely perform a specific task, the Administrator will reassign the task to an available staff member who can safely perform it or arrange an outside service. The Administrator will keep a simple open-item repair/cleaning log until each item is completed. 3. Resident and common-use areas will be observed during routine daily housekeeping and caregiving duties. The Administrator will review the condition of common areas, bathrooms, doors/walls, furniture, carpets, and smoking/patio areas weekly until all cited corrections are completed and monthly thereafter. Odors, sanitation concerns, or damaged surfaces/furniture will be addressed promptly when identified. 4. The Administrator is responsible for assuring environmental cleaning and repairs are completed and for monitoring open items to completion. The housekeeper and other assigned facility staff are responsible for tasks within their abilities and job assignments; outside contractors or vendors will be used when specialized repair or cleaning is required.
