The need to ensure actions or interventions for short-term changes of condition were documented and communicated to staff on each shift, and the changes of condition were monitored weekly through resolution was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Vice President of Operations), Staff 3 (Regional Director of Operations) and Staff 17 (Regional RN) They acknowledged the findings.

4. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 05/2024 with diagnoses including unspecified dementia, urinary tract infections and weakness.

Review of Resident 1’s record indicated the following deficiencies related to changes of condition:

a. On 06/19/24, a home health RN documented the presence of “3 small open areas on the resident’s buttocks” and a “red rash/fungal area” on the upper torso.

The facility’s last documentation on the status of the conditions was on 06/25/24. The facility failed to document on the progress of the conditions at least weekly until resolved.

b. On 09/01/24 Resident 1 triggered for a significant weight loss of 7.68% body weight over the previous 90 days. In an interview on 09/09/24, Staff 7 (RCC) stated she contacted the resident’s daughter and asked her to provide a nutritional supplement. Staff 7 acknowledged the facility failed to document and communicate to staff what actions or interventions were needed for the resident in response to the weight loss and failed monitor whether the supplement had been provided and was being offered to the resident.

The need to ensure the facility determined, documented and communicated to staff what actions or interventions were needed for a resident following a change of condition and that the facility documented monitoring of short term changes of condition at least weekly until the condition resolved was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Vice President of Operations), Staff 3 (Regional Director of Operations) and Staff 17 (Regional RN) on 09/12/24. They acknowledged the findings.

5. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 05/2013 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure, edema and osteoarthritis. The resident had a history of chronic, recurring leg wounds.

Review of Resident 4’s record indicated the following deficiencies related to changes of condition:

a. On 07/16/24 Resident 4 reported swelling and pain to the lower right leg. The resident was sent to the local emergency department and returned with no new diagnosis or treatment recommendations. The facility documented on the status of the condition on 07/17/24. There were no documented actions or interventions provided to staff and the facility failed to document on the progress of the condition at least weekly until resolved.

b. On 07/24/24 a MT documented the observation of a draining wound on the resident’s left big toe. There was no documented evidence the facility determined, documented and communicated to staff what actions or interventions were needed and the facility failed to document on the progress of the condition at least weekly until resolved.

c. On 08/26/24 Resident 4 triggered for a significant weight loss of 8.15% body weight over the previous 90 days. There was no documented evidence the facility determined, documented and communicated to staff what actions or interventions were needed and the facility failed to monitor the condition.

The need to ensure the facility determined, documented and communicated to staff what actions or interventions were needed for a resident following a change of condition and that the facility documented monitoring of short term changes of condition at least weekly until the condition resolved and monitored significant changes of condition was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Vice President of Operations), Staff 3 (Regional Director of Operations) and Staff 17 (Regional RN) on 09/12/24. They 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.

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 interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed for 5 of 5 sampled residents (#s 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6) who experienced a significant change of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to:

1. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 07/2022 with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus, diastolic (congestive) heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

A review of the resident's clinical record dated between 06/13/24 and 08/30/24 identified the following:

* A progress note on 6/14/24 stated “Resident returns to facility from [hospital] at 1605 …Resident does also have chronic wound to the left gluteal fold, open area is circular and is 0.5 cm in size;”
* A skin integrity monitoring form was completed on 06/14/24 for “left buttock pressure” and electronically signed on 06/25/24 by a facility LPN; and
* A skin integrity monitoring form was completed on 06/21/24 for “left gluteal fold open area” and electronically signed on 07/02/24 by a facility LPN.

The noted skin impairment constituted a significant change in condition requiring an RN assessment.

The RN assessment was completed on 09/10/24 while survey team was on site.

The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed for all residents who experienced a significant change of condition was reviewed with Staff 9 (Regional RN) on 09/12/24 at 11:58 am, and Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Vice President of Operations), and Staff 3 (Regional Director of Operations) on 09/12/24. They acknowledged the findings.

2. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 05/2024 with diagnoses including unspecified dementia, urinary tract infections and weakness.

Review of the weight record indicated Resident 1 experienced a loss of 9.8 pounds, or 7.68% body weight, between 06/01/24 and 09/01/24. This represented a significant change of condition for which an RN assessment of the weight loss was required.

There was no documented evidence a facility RN completed an assessment which included findings, resident status and interventions made as a result of the assessment.

They acknowledged no RN assessment had been completed.

3. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 05/2013 with diagnoses including congestive heart failure, edema and osteoarthritis. The service plan noted the resident’s weight fluctuated due to edema in the lower legs.

Review of the weight record indicated Resident 4 experienced a loss of 14.6 pounds, or 8.15% body weight, between 05/31/24 and 08/26/24. This represented a significant change of condition for which an RN assessment of the weight loss was required.

There was no documented evidence a facility RN completed an assessment which included findings, resident status and interventions made as a result of the assessment.

During the survey, the resident was observed to request room trays for meals as s/he preferred to eat in his/her apartment. In an interview on 09/10/24 at 2:10 pm, Resident 4 acknowledged eating less for two reasons: his/her dentures did not fit well which sometimes made chewing difficult and the meals were often unappetizing because the resident had been placed on an “easy to chew” texture diet following a choking incident at a meal.

Resident 4’s current weight, requested on 09/11/24, was 165.8. This represented an increase of 1.4 pounds from the last weight that was recorded on 08/26/24.

The need to ensure an RN conducted and documented an assessment of a resident's significant change of condition was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Vice President of Operations), Staff 3 (Regional Director of Operations) and Staff 17 (Regional RN) on 09/12/24.

Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed timely for 2 of 3 sampled resident (#s 5 and 8) who experienced weight loss. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to:

1. Resident 8 moved into the facility in 03/2021 with diagnoses including prostate cancer.

The resident’s progress notes, dated 12/31/24 through 03/16/25, and weight records, dated 10/29/24 through 01/23/25, were reviewed. Resident 8 and staff were interviewed.

The following weights were recorded by the facility:

* 10/29/24: 169 pounds;
* No weight documented for 11/2024;
* 12/19/24: 157 pounds;
* 01/23/25: 154.8 pounds; and
* No weight documented for 02/2025.

The facility weighed the resident during the survey. On 03/19/25 at 1:34 pm, Resident 8 weighed 158.2 pounds.

Between 10/29/24 and 01/23/25, the resident had a 14.2 pound weight loss, or an 8.4% loss in total body weight. The weight loss represented a significant change of condition.

There was no documented evidence the facility RN conducted a timely assessment which included documentation of findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment.

An interview with Staff 17 (Vice President of Clinical Services) on 03/20/25 at 10:07 am confirmed an RN assessment had not been completed when the weight loss was identified in the electronic system on 12/19/24.

The need to ensure a timely RN assessment was completed for residents who experienced a significant change of condition was discussed with Staff 3 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 17, and Staff 22 (ED) on 03/21/25 at 1:11 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

* 11/11/24: 305.2 pounds;
* 02/04/25: 305 pounds;
* 02/18/25: 302 pounds; and
* 03/04/25: 288.4 pounds.

The resident had a weight gain following significant weight loss and did not lose further weight.

Between 02/04/25 and 03/04/25, the resident had a 16.6 pounds weight loss, or an 5.44% loss in total body weight. The weight loss represented a significant change of condition.

The facility completed a significant change in condition assessment on 03/04/25. The assessment noted the resident experienced weight loss. However, there was no documented evidence of the assessment findings, resident’s status and interventions implemented as a result of the assessment.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by:

Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents who chose to self-administer their medications were evaluated upon move-in and at least quarterly thereafter to assure the residents’ ability to safely self-administer medications for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 3 and 5) who were reviewed for self-administration. Findings include, but are not limited to:

1. Resident 5 was admitted to the facility in 07/2022 with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus, diastolic (congestive) heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

During the acuity interview on 09/09/24, Resident 5 was identified as self-administering some of his/her medications. During the interview on 09/10/24 the resident indicated s/he was administering oxygen as needed overnight for shortness of breath, eye drops and insulin subcutaneously sometimes under the supervision of the MT. This was confirmed by Staff 12 (MT) in an interview on 09/10/24 and observed by the surveyor on 09/11/24.

Review of Resident 5’s medical records revealed there was no documented evaluation of Resident 5's ability to safely self-administer medications. In an interview on 09/10/24 at 12:35 pm, Staff 2 (Vice President of Operations) was unable to locate a copy of the self-administration evaluation, and an evaluation was completed on 09/10/24 by the facility RN.

The need to ensure residents who chose to self-administer their medications were evaluated upon move-in and at least quarterly thereafter to assure the residents’ ability to safely self-administer medications was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2, and Staff 3 (Regional Director of Operations) on 09/12/24. They acknowledged the findings.

2. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 07/2022 with diagnoses including chronic heart failure.

On 09/10/24 at 9:15 am, Resident 3 reported s/he managed their own medications with family assistance. During the interview, a pill box was observed in the resident’s room. The resident reported s/he took the medications three times daily.

Review of Resident 3’s record indicated the following:

* There was no current evaluation of the resident’s ability to safely self-administer the medications; and
* The most recent self-administration evaluation was dated 12/06/23 indicating the resident’s ability to safely self-administer had not been evaluated quarterly as required.

On 09/10/24, Staff 2 (Vice President of Operations) confirmed no current evaluation had been completed. Staff 9 (Regional RN) completed an evaluation on 09/10/24.

On 09/12/24, the failure to evaluate the resident's ability to self-administer medications quarterly was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 and Staff 3 (Regional Director of Operations). They acknowledged the findings.

The current facility staffing plan and Acuity Based Staffing Tool (ABST) were reviewed, and interviews with residents were conducted. The following was revealed:

* During an interview on 09/11/2024, Resident 5 stated, “You have to wait for a long time for them to respond”;
* The review of the Call Light response log from 08/25/24 through 09/09/24 indicated during every day shift there was at least one occasion when the response time exceeded 25 minutes, and eight day shifts with at least five occasions when the response time exceeded 25 minutes; and
* The facility’s staffing schedule for the weeks of 08/25/24, 09/01/24, and 09/08/24 did not reflect the amount of direct care staff hours required by the facility’s ABST tool output.

The need for the facility to have sufficient direct care staff to meet the 24-hour scheduled and unscheduled needs of each resident was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Vice President of Operations), and Staff 3 (Regional Director of Operations) on 09/12/24. They acknowledged the findings.

Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to have a sufficient number of direct care staff to meet the 24-hour scheduled and unscheduled needs of each resident including fire evacuation standards. This is a repeat citation. Findings include, but are not limited to:

The current facility staffing plan, and the fire life and safety documentation were reviewed. The following was identified during the entrance conference and acuity interview on 03/19/25:

* The facility was home to 57 residents at the time of survey;
* The facility consisted of a three-story building;
* The second floor had one resident who required two staff members to assist with transfers as needed; and
* The third floor had six residents who required two staff members to assist with transfer, including four residents who needed the use of a Hoyer lift.


The posted facility staffing requirement indicated for the following:

* Day shift: Four direct caregiving staff and two Medication Technicians;
* Evening shift: Four direct caregiving staff and two Medication Technicians; and
* Night shift: Two direct caregiving staff and one Medication Technician.

The facility had multiple residents residing on the second and third floors who regularly required a two staff assist for transfers, posing a potential risk for delayed evacuation during overnight hours due to insufficient overnight staff to meet scheduled and unscheduled care needs in accordance with evacuation standards.

The need for the facility to have sufficient direct caregiving staff to meet the 24-hour scheduled and unscheduled needs of each resident was reviewed with Staff 3 (Regional Director of Operations), Staff 17 (Vice President of Clinical Services) and Staff 22 (ED) on 03/21/25. They acknowledged the findings.
