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.
Inspection Findings:
Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure resident injuries of unknown cause were immediately investigated to rule out abuse or neglect, and/or reported to the local Seniors and People with Disability (SPD) office for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) who had experienced injuries of unknown cause. Findings include, but are not limited to:

1. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 02/2020 with diagnoses including breast cancer, bilateral hip fractures, and osteoporosis.

Review of Resident 2’s progress notes, dated 10/14/24 through 01/14/25, revealed the resident had experienced the following:

* 12/05/24- Staff discovered a “thumb-sized bruise” on the resident’s right shin. The resident stated s/he did not know how it happened; and

* 12/23/24- A bruise was discovered, with “blood pooling beneath skin on left wrist”. The resident stated s/he was unsure how it occurred.

There was no documented evidence the facility investigated these incidents to reasonably rule out abuse or neglect.

On 01/16/25 at 12:20 pm, Staff 1 (Administrator) verified the incident had not been investigated or reported to the local unit. The surveyor requested the facility report the injuries to the local SPD office.

On 01/16/25 at 2:15 pm, the need to investigate resident injuries of unknown cause immediately and report them to the local SPD office if abuse and/or neglect could not be ruled out, was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 2 (RN). They acknowledged the findings.

On 01/17/25 at 9:20 am, Staff 1 presented the surveyor with confirmation the reports had been completed.

2. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 02/2024 with diagnoses including coronary artery disease, vertigo, and PTSD. The resident’s 10/14/24 through 01/14/25 observation notes were reviewed.
An observation noted dated 11/18/24 documented, “…[s/he] has a fist size bruise on [his/her] right elbow area that is dull yellow and maroon in color…[s/he] reports not knowing how [s/he] got it but said it was a few days old.”

There was no documented evidence the facility completed an immediate investigation that ruled out abuse or neglect for this injury of unknown cause. During an interview on 01/16/25, Staff 2 (RN) and Staff 6 (RCC) confirmed the injury lacked an investigation to rule out abuse and had not been reported to the local Seniors and People with Disability (SPD) office. The survey team requested the injury be reported, and confirmation was received at 9:30 am on 01/17/25.

The need to ensure the facility promptly investigated all injuries of unknown cause to rule out abuse, and reported to the local SPD office when necessary, was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) on 01/17/25 at 10:45 am. She acknowledged the findings.

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.
Inspection Findings:
Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to monitor and document weekly progress for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) who experienced a short-term change of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to:

1. Resident 1 moved into the facility in 02/2024 with diagnoses including coronary artery disease, vertigo, and PTSD. The resident’s observation notes dated 10/14/24 through 01/14/25 were reviewed, and interviews with staff were conducted.

There was no documented evidence the following changes of condition were monitored with weekly progress noted to resolution:

* 11/18/24 – Bruise on right elbow;
* 11/19/24 – Three loose teeth;
* 11/27/24 – Vertigo and falling into a table; and
* 12/22/24 – Right foot pain.

During an interview at 10:30 am on 01/16/25, Staff 2 (RN), Staff 3 (RN), and Staff 6 (RCC) confirmed the above changes of condition were not monitored at least weekly to resolution.

The need to ensure weekly progress was noted to resolution for short-term changes of condition was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) on 01/17/25. She acknowledged the findings.

2. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 02/2020, with diagnoses including breast cancer, bilateral hip fractures, and osteoporosis.

Review of Resident 2’s observation notes, dated 10/14/24 through 01/14/2025, indicated the resident had experienced the following changes of condition:

* 12/05/24- Staff discovered a “thumb-sized bruise” on the resident’s right shin; and

* 12/23/24- A bruise was discovered with “blood pooling beneath skin on left wrist”.

There was no documented evidence the facility monitored these skin issues at least weekly, through resolution.

On 01/16/25 at 2:15 pm, the need to monitor all skin injuries at least weekly, to resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (RN). They acknowledged the findings.

Weight records dated 3/1/21 to 8/10/21, progress notes and RN notes dated 6/3/21 through 8/30/21, indicated the resident experienced the following:A 10.8 pound weight loss from 4/26/21 to 5/24/21. This constituted a 7.34% severe weight loss in one month. The resident's weights were monitored weekly through mid August 2021 when orders were changed to monthly weights. The resident's weight stabilized between 142 pounds and 144 pounds from June 2021 to August 2021.The resident's meal intake remained stable with good intake at all three meals. The resident was able to feed herself/himself without issue and made their own dietary selections throughout the day. Observations of the resident on 8/30/21 and 8/31/21 showed the resident transported herself/himself to the dining room for meals, selected from available options and ate the meal without assistance after delivery. The resident was observed to eat 100% at breakfast and two lunch meals. The resident indicated during an interview on 8/31/21 that s/he received plenty to eat and had a few snacks in her/his apartment. The resident further stated s/he went out three times a week to the gym to complete work outs and work on strengthening, as well as spend time with friends. The resident stated during parts of COVID s/he was unable to go out or go to the gym which affected her/his activity level "significantly." The facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed for the severe weight loss with documented findings, resident status and interventions made as a result of the assessment.The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed related to significant changes in condition which documented findings, resident status and interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 3 (RCC) on 8/31/21 and Staff 2 (RN) on 9/1/21.
