Waterford Grand Memory Care

Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure injuries of unknown cause were promptly investigated to rule out abuse and reported to the local SPD office as required for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#4) whose incidents were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to:

Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 06/2024 with diagnoses including dementia.

Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's 11/01/24 service plan, 10/22/24 through 01/17/25 progress notes, physician communications, and incident investigations were completed.

The resident was noted to have behaviors related to entering other residents’ rooms, invading others space and exit seeking often later in the day. The resident required one staff assistance for ADL care and was able to independently ambulate around the facility with a walker. The resident could make some needs known and had poor safety awareness.

Review of the resident's records showed the following:

* An incident investigation dated 12/05/24 indicated the resident was found to have discoloration to the right hand. The resident was unable to say what had caused the injury. Staff had no further information on the injury of unknown cause. The investigation indicated abuse and neglect was ruled out but contained no information on how that was done.

The facility was asked to report the incident to the local SPD office and provided confirmation of the report prior to exit.

The need to ensure all incidents were promptly investigated to rule out abuse and reported when required, was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 3 (Wellness Director) on 01/22/25 and 01/23/25. 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 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 (#3) who experienced significant changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to:

Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 03/2021 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease and edema.

Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, review of the service plan, dated 01/17/25, 10/17/24 through 01/20/25 progress notes, physician communications and hospice communications, and 09/02/24 through 12/19/24 weight records were completed.

The resident required full assistance of 2-3 staff with his/her ADLs related to resistance to care. The resident was independent with meal intake and able to eat and drink without physical assistance from staff. The resident did intermittently require encouragement with his/her meals. The resident had significant confusion and was unable to consistently communicate needs. The resident’s dementia had progressed along with increased pain, care needs and behaviors. The resident was admitted to hospice services on 01/15/25.

Multiple observations of the resident between 01/21/25 and 01/23/25 showed the resident seated in a chair in his/her apartment or laying in his/her bed. The resident spoke in word salad with intermittent full sentences and ate less than 50% of the meals observed. S/he was offered fluids throughout the day and attempts at snacks. The resident was in significant pain on 01/22/25 and 01/23/25, was provided prn medication for pain and was able to rest comfortably. S/he did not awaken for breakfast or lunch on 01/22/25.

Weight records for 09/2024 through 12/2024 showed the following:

* A weight of 125.8 pounds on 08/27/24 and a weight of 136.4 pounds on 12/19/24. This represented a 10.8-pound weight gain between 09/02/24 and 12/19/24, which constituted a 7.91% gain in three months.

There were no weights recorded between September and December 2024 related to resident refusals and behaviors. The facility was no longer attempting to obtain weights on the resident since his/her admission to Hospice on 01/15/25. A weight at the time of survey was not attempted due to resident behaviors, decline and pain.

The resident was not interviewed related to his/her dementia.

In interviews between 01/21/25 and 01/23/25, Staff 9 (MT), Staff 10 (CG) and Staff 14 (CG) indicated the resident required multiple staff to complete ADL care due to cognitive impairment, resistance to care and refusals. The resident could eat and drink on his/her own once items were delivered. The staff stated the resident did need some encouragement with his/her meals and the resident’s intake was fair. The staff further indicated the resident was offered French toast whenever s/he would not eat much. The resident was almost always willing to eat the French toast.

In interviews between 01/21/25 and 01/22/25, Witness 1 (Private CG) and Witness 2 (Family) indicated the resident’s meal intake varied; there were some days that were better than others. The resident loved French toast so that was always available to offer. They indicated the resident could eat and drink on his/her own but did need encouragement to eat and drink at meals and throughout the day. Witness 2 stated the resident received plenty of food and fluids within the context of what s/he would accept. The resident would not be forced to do anything or take anything s/he did not want.

In an interview on 01/23/25, Staff 3 (Wellness Director) indicated she had made a note about the resident’s weights on 12/24/24. She did not note a significant gain between the September and December weights. Staff 3 stated she noted the resident had red swollen legs, had been refusing weights, and would not allow the LPN to check his/her lungs. Witness 4 further indicated there was no assessment completed by the RN.

The current facility RN was brand new to the facility and had no further information to offer regarding the resident’s weight changes.

The facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed for the weight gain which documented findings, 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 as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 3 (Wellness Director) on 01/23/25. The staff acknowledged the findings.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by:

Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure they had been consistently staffing to the posted staffing plan and failed to have a sufficient number of caregiving staff to meet the 24-hour scheduled and unscheduled needs of residents. Findings include, but are not limited to:

During the acuity interview on 01/21/25, the following was identified:

* The facility was home to 26 residents in two segregated (North Shore and South Shore) secured units;
* Eight residents (four residents each on the North Shore and South Shore units) required a two-person assist for transfers and/or ADL care;
* Three residents required cueing, set-up, or feeding assistance; and
* Ten residents were identified as having behavioral symptoms requiring staff assistance when having behaviors.

On 01/23/25 at 10:15 am, the facility's Acuity Based Staffing Tool (ABST) entries, staff schedule, calculated staffing hours, and posted staffing plans were reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 3 (Wellness Director) and Staff 7 (Resident Services Director).

The staffing plans posted by the facility “as of 01/18/25” was as follows:

North Shore

Day Shift:
6:00 am to 2:00 pm: One MT and three and a half CGs.

Swing Shift:
2:00 pm to 10:00 pm: One MT and two and a half CGs.

NOC Shift:
10:00 pm to 6:00 pm: Half MT and one CG.

South Shore

Day Shift:
6:00 to 2:00 pm: One MT and one and one and a half CGs.

Swing Shift:
2:00 pm to 10:00 pm: One MT and One and a half CGs.

NOC Shift:
10:00 pm to 6:00 am: A half MT and one CG.

The staff schedule, dated 01/14/25 through 01/20/25, was reviewed. On 13 out of 42 shifts, the facility did not meet the posted staffing plan; in addition, the NOC shift failed to have a minimum of two direct care staff scheduled and available at all times whenever a resident required the assistance of two direct care staff for scheduled and unscheduled needs.

During interviews conducted on 01/21/25 through 01/23/25 identified the following:

* Staff 13 (CG) reported there was not enough staff on the floor to take care of all the residents.

*In an Interview on 01/21/25, Witness 2 (Resident 3 Visitor) and Witness 3 (Resident 3 Visitor) indicated staffing has been an issue. Witness 2 and 3 both visited multiple times a day, at all times of day, along with the resident’s spouse. They both stated night shift was a big concern, but the other shifts also did not have enough staff to meet all the resident needs. Witness 3 indicated there had been more than one occasion when there was only one staff on night shift covering the entire unit. The Witnesses both stated the staff available tried their best but there weren’t enough of them. The resident required at least two-person assistance for ADL care and could be resistive to care. Witness 3 further indicated a private caregiver was hired to help care for Resident 3 due to concerns with his/her ADL care.

On 01/22/25 at 10:50 am Staff 1, Staff 2 (MC Administrator) via phone, Staff 3, Staff 4 (RN) and Staff 7 acknowledged the care minutes in facility’s ABST for one sampled Resident (#3), and three unsampled residents who required two person assistance was not accurate, and that the NOC shift staffing did not meet the minimum of two direct staff scheduled and available for residents requiring the assistance of two caregivers.

The need to have a sufficient number of staff on all shifts to meet all scheduled and unscheduled needs of residents was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2, Staff 3, Staff 4, and Staff 7 on 01/22/25. They acknowledged the findings.

The findings of the second revisit to the kitchen inspection of 08/09/24, conducted 01/02/25, are documented in this report. It was determined the facility was in substantial compliance with the OARs 411-054-0030 for Residential Care and Assisted Living Facilities for Resident Services- Meals, and Oregon Health Service Food Sanitation Rules OARs 333-150-0000.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure each resident's dignity with dining was maintained by failing to ensure resident likes and preferences with meals were honored, along with ensuring wait times for meals were reasonable for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#1). Findings include but are not limited to:Resident #1 was admitted to facility on 11/09/17 with diagnoses including major depressive disorder and Alzheimer's disease.The resident's diet order, dated 09/27/23, was regular/general/house diet, mechanical dental soft: ground texture, and thin/regular consistency. The resident face sheet indicated his/her spouse was his/her Power of Attorney for financial and care decisions and listed the resident's daughter as emergency contact number two.The resident's service plan was reviewed and documented the following:* Eating/Meals - Initiated 08/16/22, revised 01/09/24: "[Resident name] requires staff assistance in ordering or choosing menu items...[Resident name] enjoys soft foods...due to missing teeth. serve milk with every meal per family request. [Resident] enjoys breakfast foods such as scrambled eggs, French toast, and pancakes..."* Diet - Initiated 08/16/22, revised 04/04/24: "Diet - Mechanical Soft Diet: Ground. Daughter would like input in [his/her] menu Choices, Make this available to her. High protein choices when she is not available. Breakfast choose eggs and sausage, NO pancakes, french toast or syrup on [his/her] plate. Lots of meat few carbs and make sure vegetables are bite size portions."Progress notes documented on 04/04/24, "Care conference held today with daughter. Daughter does not want syrup or pancakes, high protein. Meats should be chopped more..."On 08/08/24, during the facility's annual kitchen inspection, the lunch meal was observed. The meal cart from the kitchen arrived to the South unit, where Resident 1 resided, at approximately 11:10 am. At 11:35 am, caregivers began dishing out resident meals. Surveyor observed staff dish out three plates of pureed menu choices. Surveyor asked how many residents received altered texture diets. The staff response was one puree and two mechanical soft. Surveyor asked why three plates of puree were dished out, and the staff member replied that there were no mechanical soft items sent from the kitchen that meal. Staff decided not to serve the pureed texture to Resident 1, but stated they would contact the kitchen for a mechanical soft meal. Resident 1 was sitting at the table with beverages at this time. At 12:25 pm, the resident was observed still at the table with beverages, but no food. Surveyor asked care staff if kitchen had provided any mechanical soft food items yet, to which they replied, "No, not yet."Surveyor went to main kitchen and observed three containers of mechanically altered food items sitting on the warming line ready for service. Surveyor observed line cook asking another kitchen staff to take the mechanically altered items to memory care. Surveyor followed food items to South unit. Care staff immediately began dishing up a serving of finely chopped carrots, mashed potatoes, and finely diced/ground BBQ meat into one bowl. Staff was then observed to open a container of applesauce and pour over meal items and mix entire content of bowl together. Surveyor asked care staff if that was how Resident 1 preferred his/her meals. Staff replied, "No, this is what [his/her] daughter wants us to do." Surveyor asked staff if they knew why, and they replied, "No, but it's gross. [Resident] doesn't eat it. Maybe [his/her] daughter wants [him/her] to have more fruit?" Staff then stated that the daughter "makes" them serve all the resident's meals like this with all food items mixed together with applesauce. Staff also indicated they are not allowed to give the resident pancakes or French toast at breakfast, which the resident likes. Per the resident's daughter, they were to serve only "scrambled eggs, bacon, and/or sausage with apple sauce mixed in. It's so gross, [s/he] never eats it." Resident 1 was served his/her lunch at 12:35 pm, an hour after other residents were served their meal.On 08/08/24 at 12:45 pm, Staff 2 (Dining Services Director) was interviewed regarding the extended time for mechanical soft to be provided to Resident 1. Staff 2 stated that one hour was definitely too long and not typical. Staff 2 was not sure why pureed items were originally sent for all mechanically altered residents and agreed that was not appropriate. Staff 2 indicated that the line cook that usually takes care of the mechanically altered items was "slammed" that meal service and acknowledged that the kitchen should have gotten the right textured food to the resident more quickly.Staff 1 (Executive Director) and Staff 5 (Memory Care Administrator) were interviewed on 08/09/24 at 11:10 am. Both acknowledged that Resident 1 waiting an hour to receive their mechanically altered food items was unacceptable. Neither Staff 1 nor Staff 5 were aware that staff were combining all of the resident's food items and mixing in applesauce at all meals. Both Staff 1 and Staff 5 acknowledged that practice was not appetizing, with a high potential for the food to not be palatable for most individuals.Staff 1 and Staff 5 were asked to provide documentation that Resident 1's daughter was power of attorney to make care decisions for him/her. No documentation could be located prior to survey exit. Both Staff 1 and Staff 5 acknowledged that the resident had a right to eat foods that they liked and in a way that they liked/preferred. Staff 1 acknowledged that Resident 1 did not have any medical diagnoses that would indicate the need for a reduced carbohydrate and high protein diet. Staff 1 acknowledged there was no diet order to indicate that a carbohydrate restricted diet would be appropriate for the resident.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure each resident's dignity with dining was maintained by failing to ensure resident likes and preferences with meals were honored, along with ensuring meals were appetizing/palatable for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#1). This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to:Resident 1 was admitted to facility on 11/09/17 with diagnoses including major depressive disorder and Alzheimer's disease. Resident 1 was non-interviewable.A Faxed copy of "health care provider's orders" dated 09/11/24 documented: "Please confirm the diet we have on file: Mechanical soft, decreased carbs, increased protein. Food in bowl & (and) apple sauce added. Regular thin, liquids...Do you agree?" The box of "yes" was marked and the statement, "agree to above," was documented.The resident's service plan was reviewed and documented the following:* Eating/Meals - Initiated 08/16/22, revised 01/09/24: "[Resident name] requires staff assistance in ordering or choosing menu items...[Resident name] enjoys soft foods...due to missing teeth. serve milk with every meal per family request. [Resident] enjoys breakfast foods such as scrambled eggs, French toast, and pancakes..." A addition on 08/22/24 documented "Resident requires hands on assistance to complete meal (Specify:)."* Diet - Initiated 08/16/22, revised 04/04/24: "Diet - Mechanical Soft Diet: Ground. Daughter would like input in [his/her] menu Choices, Make this available to her. High protein choices when she is not available. Breakfast choose eggs and sausage, NO pancakes, french toast or syrup on [his/her] plate. Lots of meat few carbs and make sure vegetables are bite size portions."On 10/10/24 at 11:45 am Resident 1 was observed with lunch meal served. The resident had a large bowl of ground food products in front of her that she was feeding herself. The food products were all of similar color and texture. Care staff were interviewed and stated that they were directed to put all food items in one bowl and mix in a container of applesauce for all meals. Staff were asked if that was the resident's preference and they stated it was not, that it was directed from the resident's daughter. On 10/10/24 at 12:45 pm, Staff 2 (Dining Services Director) was interviewed and was asked why all food items for Resident 1 were served in the same bowl, mixed all together with applesauce. Staff 2 indicated to her knowledge it was related to the wishes and direction of the resident's daughter. Staff 2 acknowledged that serving foods all blended together with applesauce would not be appealing/palatable to most people. Staff 2 verified to their knowledge that was not a preference for the resident to have her meals delivered in this way. Interview with Staff 3 (Business office manager) and Staff 4 (Resident services director) at 1:00 pm revealed the reason staff combined all meal/food items together was related to the daughter insisting the meals be served that way. Staff were not able to provide any documentation or other evidence to support the mixing of food items was the residents choice. They acknowledged that they themselves would not wish to consume their meals in this manner. Staff 3 and Staff 4 were asked why there was a carbohydrate restriction for the resident. They confirmed it was at the request of the daughter. Staff 1 (Executive Director) and Staff 5 (Memory Care Administrator) were interviewed 10/11/24 at 10:00 am. Both acknowledged that they were aware that staff were combining all of the resident's food items and mixing in applesauce at all meals. Both Staff 1 and Staff 5 acknowledged that practice was not appetizing, with a high potential for the food to not be palatable for most individuals. Staff 1 and 5 confirmed the facility had not attempted alternatives to the mixing food together for meals to increase independence with eating. Staff 1 and 5 acknowledged the facility continued to restrict access to carbohydrate rich foods including those identified per resident likes that the resident enjoyed at the request of the resident's daughter. The facility failed to ensure Resident 1's right to eat the foods they enjoy/liked by restricting carbohydrates as well as, the right to receive food in a way that was appetizing and palatable.

Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to maintain the kitchen in good repair and in a sanitary manner in accordance with Food Sanitation Rules, OAR 333-150-000.
