Plain-language summary
During a change of ownership inspection on April 15–16, 2026, the facility was found to have failed to conduct fire drills every other month in the memory care unit as required by the Oregon Fire Code; only two fire drills were conducted from November 2025 through March 2026, and one of those was held in a separate assisted living building rather than the memory care unit. The facility also failed to provide fire and life safety instruction to staff on alternate months, with only one training session documented on March 16, 2026. Management acknowledged these findings and stated the facility has since reviewed and implemented its Fire Drill & Life Safety Policy to ensure compliance.

Plain-language summary
During a re-licensure inspection conducted January 6–8, 2025, inspectors observed that residents in the memory care unit were being served beverages in disposable cups rather than reusable cups during meal services, which violated the requirement to provide a safe and homelike environment. The facility had adequate reusable cups available but staff were not using them; the food services director confirmed he had been requesting staff use reusable cups for months. The facility immediately prohibited disposable cups, educated staff on using reusable cups, and committed to maintaining an adequate supply of various sizes and colors in each house.
“Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure a homelike environment for multiple sampled and unsampled residents who received beverages in disposable cups during meal service. Findings include, but are not limited to: Meal observations were made between 01/06/25 and 01/08/25 in the Lily, Iris and Rose houses of the MCC and revealed beverages were delivered to residents in disposable cups. During an interview on 01/07/25 at 11:46 am, Staff 10 (MCC CG) was asked why the facility was using disposable cups, she stated, “the [reusable] plastic cups are so small we use disposable.” She also reported, “the larger cups are sparse…” Staff 10 then counted the plastic cups within the Rose kitchenette and said, “but it looks like we have enough for everyone right now.” On 01/08/25 at 9:25 am, Staff 4 (Food Services Director) reported the MCC had “red” reusable cups that kitchen staff delivered to the MCC three times a day, and the facility expected caregivers to serve drinks in the reusable cups. Additionally, Staff 4 stated he had been “harping” on facility staff to use the reusable cups “for months.” At 9:35 am on 01/08/24, observations were made of the red reusable cups in the three kitchenettes in the MCC. The Lily house had 12 red reusable cups available, the Iris house had over 21 reusable cups, and the Rose house had 12 reusable cups. The MCC’s census at survey entrance was 29; therefore, there were enough cups for all residents to receive a reusable cup. The need to ensure a homelike environment during meal service was discussed with Staff 2 (MC Administrator) on 01/08/25 at 1:23 pm. She acknowledged the findings. Immediate action has been taken to prohibit the use of disposable cups during meal service for residents. We have an ample amount of reusable, plastic cups in each of the three Houses in Memory Care. The care staff and Life Enrichment staff have been educated on solely using reusable cups when serving drinks to residents. The Food Services Director has placed an order for more reusable cups in different colors and sizes. To ensure this violation does not happen again, the Administrator and the Food Services Director will routinely do a count of all cups in each House and will purchase three times the number of cups needed in various sizes and colors so they are accessible to care staff at all times. The caregivers at each meal (three times daily) will ensure there are enough reusable cups in the House they are working in. OAR 411-054-0027 (1) Resident Rights and Protection - General (1) GENERAL RIGHTS. The facility must implement a residents' Bill of Rights.

“Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure garbage was stored in a covered refuse container and the grounds were kept orderly and free of litter and refuse. Findings include, but are not limited to: On 01/08/25 facility grounds were toured, and the following was identified: a. Approximately 90-feet to the right of the memory care main entrance a fenced area was identified with broken and used equipment and furniture. The fenced area was not equipped with a cover. b. The fenced garbage area was surrounded with broken equipment and furniture, wood planks, metal bars, broken ladders, torn and broken assistive devices, garbage cans, a meat smoker, and a large unclean and broken flattop stove that was removed from the facility kitchen. On 01/08/25 at 1:28 pm, Staff 28 (Maintenance Staff) stated the fenced area was the “junk” area where staff throw away “stuff that residents leave behind” and confirmed most of the “junk” inside and around the fenced area had been there for “quite some time” but some of it has “only been there a month or so.” c. The memory care had a small courtyard that had an overflowing garbage can with empty boxes and bags of garbage surrounding the garbage can. On 01/09/25 at 10:12 am, Staff 13 (MCC CG) was observed to leave a bag of soiled cleaning supplies next to the overflowing garbage can in the courtyard. On 01/09/25 at 10:47 am, Staff 2 (MC Administrator) confirmed she was aware of the “junk” area and stated the small courtyard was being used for garbage because they did not have another place to store it. The need to ensure garbage was stored in a covered refuse container and facility grounds were kept orderly and free of litter and refuse was reviewed with Staff 2 on 01/09/25 at 11:24 am. She acknowledged the findings. The fenced area referred to in the rule violation is not subject to be covered due to what is stored inside the fenced area. The disposed of items that are staged inside the fenced area are items that cannot be recycled and are not biodegradables and cannot be put in the trash compactor. All items outside of the fenced area will be immediately moved inside of the fence to maintain safe walkways around the building. The items staged inside the fenced area will remain staged until we have enough to complete and schedule a junk truck run via the junk truck company. This will be evaluated by the Facilities Director and the Administrator, and will continue to be monitored on an ongoing monthly basis. The trash can in Memory Care has immediately been moved into a locked utility closet that is accessible by care staff. The care staff will be educated on ensuring the trash can does not become overflowing. If a care staff member is the last one to be able to fit a trash bag into the trash bin with the lid fitting correctly, it is that individual's responsibility to immediately take all the trash bags to the trash compactor. Then, at the end of each shift the trash can will be emptied into the trash compactor again. The Administrator will ensure compliance with this correction and will evaluate this on an ongoing basis.

The need to ensure laundry facilities had a separate area to ensure the separate storage and handling of soiled linens and clothing that had closed containers, had space to handle soiled linen and clothing processing separate from regular linen and clothing, and was arranged in a way that provided a one-way flow of soiled linen and clothing was reviewed with Staff 2 on 01/09/25 at 11:24 am. She acknowledged the findings. Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure laundry facilities had a separate area with closed containers to ensure the separate storage and handling of soiled linens and soiled clothing. Findings include, but are not limited to: On 01/08/25 and 01/09/25, the memory care laundry area was toured, and the following was revealed: a. The laundry room had multiple open containers that were overflowing with linen and clothing, and multiple clear garbage bags were piled on the floor with clothing and linen. Direct-care and housekeeping staff were interviewed and stated they did not handle soiled linen or clothing and did not know the facility system for soiled linen processing. b. The laundry room was not used in a way that provided a one-way flow of soiled linen and clothing and was not arranged in a way to keep soiled linen processing separate from regular linen. On 01/08/25, Staff 5 (Resident Care Manager), Staff 9 (MCC CG), and Staff 11 (MCC CG) stated the laundry attendant was on vacation and they did not know who was responsible for handling soiled laundry and linen. Additionally, they stated they did not know the process relating to soiled laundry. On 01/09/25 at 10:55 am, Staff 2 (MC Administrator) confirmed the facility did not have a system for soiled linen and laundry when the laundry attendant was not on shift. The need to ensure laundry facilities had a separate area to ensure the separate storage and handling of soiled linens and clothing that had closed containers, had space to handle soiled linen and clothing processing separate from regular linen and clothing, and was arranged in a way that provided a one-way flow of soiled linen and clothing was reviewed with Staff 2 on 01/09/25 at 11:24 am. She acknowledged the findings. The laundry system in the Memory Care is clearly designed for natural flow to ensure that soiled laundry, unsoiled laundry, and clean laundry are kept separate and there is a one-way flow. The Administrator and Housekeeping Supervisor will implement signage and care staff training on laundry procedure to ensure all care staff understand the one-way flow of soiled linen and clothing in the laundry process. Outside the locked utility room where the hopper sink is located, there will be a sign put outside the door for care staff to read that says "Dirty". This is where staff are to bring soiled laundry to rinse in the hopper sink and then transfer to the laundry room via the connecting door from the locked utility closet to the laundry room. Outside the locked laundry room there will be a sign put outside the door for care staff to read that says "Clean". This is where staff can bring all unsoiled laundry and complete the laundry process. The med techs, caregivers, laundry aides and housekeepers will be trained on the correct laundry process, how to handle soiled linens in the hopper sink and how to keep the laundry flow throughout the shift. It will be made clear to them through this training who's responsibility it is to complete laundry on any given shift, when the laundry aid is present or not. The Administrator will ensure this area needing correction is completed and monitored routinely to ensure compliance.

“Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure a homelike environment for multiple sampled and unsampled residents who received beverages in disposable cups during meal service. Findings include, but are not limited to: Meal observations were made between 01/06/25 and 01/08/25 in the Lily, Iris and Rose houses of the MCC and revealed beverages were delivered to residents in disposable cups. During an interview on 01/07/25 at 11:46 am, Staff 10 (MCC CG) was asked why the facility was using disposable cups, she stated, “the [reusable] plastic cups are so small we use disposable.” She also reported, “the larger cups are sparse…” Staff 10 then counted the plastic cups within the Rose kitchenette and said, “but it looks like we have enough for everyone right now.” On 01/08/25 at 9:25 am, Staff 4 (Food Services Director) reported the MCC had “red” reusable cups that kitchen staff delivered to the MCC three times a day, and the facility expected caregivers to serve drinks in the reusable cups. Additionally, Staff 4 stated he had been “harping” on facility staff to use the reusable cups “for months.” At 9:35 am on 01/08/24, observations were made of the red reusable cups in the three kitchenettes in the MCC. The Lily house had 12 red reusable cups available, the Iris house had over 21 reusable cups, and the Rose house had 12 reusable cups. The MCC’s census at survey entrance was 29; therefore, there were enough cups for all residents to receive a reusable cup. The need to ensure a homelike environment during meal service was discussed with Staff 2 (MC Administrator) on 01/08/25 at 1:23 pm. She acknowledged the findings. Immediate action has been taken to prohibit the use of disposable cups during meal service for residents. We have an ample amount of reusable, plastic cups in each of the three Houses in Memory Care. The care staff and Life Enrichment staff have been educated on solely using reusable cups when serving drinks to residents. The Food Services Director has placed an order for more reusable cups in different colors and sizes. To ensure this violation does not happen again, the Administrator and the Food Services Director will routinely do a count of all cups in each House and will purchase three times the number of cups needed in various sizes and colors so they are accessible to care staff at all times. The caregivers at each meal (three times daily) will ensure there are enough reusable cups in the House they are working in.

“Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure garbage was stored in a covered refuse container and the grounds were kept orderly and free of litter and refuse. Findings include, but are not limited to: On 01/08/25 facility grounds were toured, and the following was identified: a. Approximately 90-feet to the right of the memory care main entrance a fenced area was identified with broken and used equipment and furniture. The fenced area was not equipped with a cover. b. The fenced garbage area was surrounded with broken equipment and furniture, wood planks, metal bars, broken ladders, torn and broken assistive devices, garbage cans, a meat smoker, and a large unclean and broken flattop stove that was removed from the facility kitchen. On 01/08/25 at 1:28 pm, Staff 28 (Maintenance Staff) stated the fenced area was the “junk” area where staff throw away “stuff that residents leave behind” and confirmed most of the “junk” inside and around the fenced area had been there for “quite some time” but some of it has “only been there a month or so.” c. The memory care had a small courtyard that had an overflowing garbage can with empty boxes and bags of garbage surrounding the garbage can. On 01/09/25 at 10:12 am, Staff 13 (MCC CG) was observed to leave a bag of soiled cleaning supplies next to the overflowing garbage can in the courtyard. On 01/09/25 at 10:47 am, Staff 2 (MC Administrator) confirmed she was aware of the “junk” area and stated the small courtyard was being used for garbage because they did not have another place to store it. The need to ensure garbage was stored in a covered refuse container and facility grounds were kept orderly and free of litter and refuse was reviewed with Staff 2 on 01/09/25 at 11:24 am. She acknowledged the findings. The fenced area referred to in the rule violation is not subject to be covered due to what is stored inside the fenced area. The disposed of items that are staged inside the fenced area are items that cannot be recycled and are not biodegradables and cannot be put in the trash compactor. All items outside of the fenced area will be immediately moved inside of the fence to maintain safe walkways around the building. The items staged inside the fenced area will remain staged until we have enough to complete and schedule a junk truck run via the junk truck company. This will be evaluated by the Facilities Director and the Administrator, and will continue to be monitored on an ongoing monthly basis. The trash can in Memory Care has immediately been moved into a locked utility closet that is accessible by care staff. The care staff will be educated on ensuring the trash can does not become overflowing. If a care staff member is the last one to be able to fit a trash bag into the trash bin with the lid fitting correctly, it is that individual's responsibility to immediately take all the trash bags to the trash compactor. Then, at the end of each shift the trash can will be emptied into the trash compactor again. The Administrator will ensure compliance with this correction and will evaluate this on an ongoing basis.

On 01/08/25, Staff 5 (Resident Care Manager), Staff 9 (MCC CG), and Staff 11 (MCC CG) stated the laundry attendant was on vacation and they did not know who was responsible for handling soiled laundry and linen. Additionally, they stated they did not know the process relating to soiled laundry. On 01/09/25 at 10:55 am, Staff 2 (MC Administrator) confirmed the facility did not have a system for soiled linen and laundry when the laundry attendant was not on shift. The need to ensure laundry facilities had a separate area to ensure the separate storage and handling of soiled linens and clothing that had closed containers, had space to handle soiled linen and clothing processing separate from regular linen and clothing, and was arranged in a way that provided a one-way flow of soiled linen and clothing was reviewed with Staff 2 on 01/09/25 at 11:24 am. She acknowledged the findings. Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure laundry facilities had a separate area with closed containers to ensure the separate storage and handling of soiled linens and soiled clothing. Findings include, but are not limited to: On 01/08/25 and 01/09/25, the memory care laundry area was toured, and the following was revealed: a. The laundry room had multiple open containers that were overflowing with linen and clothing, and multiple clear garbage bags were piled on the floor with clothing and linen. Direct-care and housekeeping staff were interviewed and stated they did not handle soiled linen or clothing and did not know the facility system for soiled linen processing. b. The laundry room was not used in a way that provided a one-way flow of soiled linen and clothing and was not arranged in a way to keep soiled linen processing separate from regular linen.

She acknowledged the findings. The laundry system in the Memory Care is clearly designed for natural flow to ensure that soiled laundry, unsoiled laundry, and clean laundry are kept separate and there is a one-way flow. The Administrator and Housekeeping Supervisor will implement signage and care staff training on laundry procedure to ensure all care staff understand the one-way flow of soiled linen and clothing in the laundry process. Outside the locked utility room where the hopper sink is located, there will be a sign put outside the door for care staff to read that says "Dirty". This is where staff are to bring soiled laundry to rinse in the hopper sink and then transfer to the laundry room via the connecting door from the locked utility closet to the laundry room. Outside the locked laundry room there will be a sign put outside the door for care staff to read that says "Clean". This is where staff can bring all unsoiled laundry and complete the laundry process. The med techs, caregivers, laundry aides and housekeepers will be trained on the correct laundry process, how to handle soiled linens in the hopper sink and how to keep the laundry flow throughout the shift. It will be made clear to them through this training who's responsibility it is to complete laundry on any given shift, when the laundry aid is present or not. The Administrator will ensure this area needing correction is completed and monitored routinely to ensure compliance.

“Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure a homelike environment for multiple sampled and unsampled residents who received beverages in disposable cups during meal service. Findings include, but are not limited to: Meal observations were made between 01/06/25 and 01/08/25 in the Lily, Iris and Rose houses of the MCC and revealed beverages were delivered to residents in disposable cups. During an interview on 01/07/25 at 11:46 am, Staff 10 (MCC CG) was asked why the facility was using disposable cups, she stated, “the [reusable] plastic cups are so small we use disposable.” She also reported, “the larger cups are sparse…” Staff 10 then counted the plastic cups within the Rose kitchenette and said, “but it looks like we have enough for everyone right now.” On 01/08/25 at 9:25 am, Staff 4 (Food Services Director) reported the MCC had “red” reusable cups that kitchen staff delivered to the MCC three times a day, and the facility expected caregivers to serve drinks in the reusable cups. Additionally, Staff 4 stated he had been “harping” on facility staff to use the reusable cups “for months.” At 9:35 am on 01/08/24, observations were made of the red reusable cups in the three kitchenettes in the MCC. The Lily house had 12 red reusable cups available, the Iris house had over 21 reusable cups, and the Rose house had 12 reusable cups. The MCC’s census at survey entrance was 29; therefore, there were enough cups for all residents to receive a reusable cup. The need to ensure a homelike environment during meal service was discussed with Staff 2 (MC Administrator) on 01/08/25 at 1:23 pm. She acknowledged the findings. Immediate action has been taken to prohibit the use of disposable cups during meal service for residents. We have an ample amount of reusable, plastic cups in each of the three Houses in Memory Care. The care staff and Life Enrichment staff have been educated on solely using reusable cups when serving drinks to residents. The Food Services Director has placed an order for more reusable cups in different colors and sizes. To ensure this violation does not happen again, the Administrator and the Food Services Director will routinely do a count of all cups in each House and will purchase three times the number of cups needed in various sizes and colors so they are accessible to care staff at all times. The caregivers at each meal (three times daily) will ensure there are enough reusable cups in the House they are working in.

“Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure garbage was stored in a covered refuse container and the grounds were kept orderly and free of litter and refuse. Findings include, but are not limited to: On 01/08/25 facility grounds were toured, and the following was identified: a. Approximately 90-feet to the right of the memory care main entrance a fenced area was identified with broken and used equipment and furniture. The fenced area was not equipped with a cover. b. The fenced garbage area was surrounded with broken equipment and furniture, wood planks, metal bars, broken ladders, torn and broken assistive devices, garbage cans, a meat smoker, and a large unclean and broken flattop stove that was removed from the facility kitchen. On 01/08/25 at 1:28 pm, Staff 28 (Maintenance Staff) stated the fenced area was the “junk” area where staff throw away “stuff that residents leave behind” and confirmed most of the “junk” inside and around the fenced area had been there for “quite some time” but some of it has “only been there a month or so.” c. The memory care had a small courtyard that had an overflowing garbage can with empty boxes and bags of garbage surrounding the garbage can. On 01/09/25 at 10:12 am, Staff 13 (MCC CG) was observed to leave a bag of soiled cleaning supplies next to the overflowing garbage can in the courtyard. On 01/09/25 at 10:47 am, Staff 2 (MC Administrator) confirmed she was aware of the “junk” area and stated the small courtyard was being used for garbage because they did not have another place to store it. The need to ensure garbage was stored in a covered refuse container and facility grounds were kept orderly and free of litter and refuse was reviewed with Staff 2 on 01/09/25 at 11:24 am. She acknowledged the findings. The fenced area referred to in the rule violation is not subject to be covered due to what is stored inside the fenced area. The disposed of items that are staged inside the fenced area are items that cannot be recycled and are not biodegradables and cannot be put in the trash compactor. All items outside of the fenced area will be immediately moved inside of the fence to maintain safe walkways around the building. The items staged inside the fenced area will remain staged until we have enough to complete and schedule a junk truck run via the junk truck company. This will be evaluated by the Facilities Director and the Administrator, and will continue to be monitored on an ongoing monthly basis. The trash can in Memory Care has immediately been moved into a locked utility closet that is accessible by care staff. The care staff will be educated on ensuring the trash can does not become overflowing. If a care staff member is the last one to be able to fit a trash bag into the trash bin with the lid fitting correctly, it is that individual's responsibility to immediately take all the trash bags to the trash compactor. Then, at the end of each shift the trash can will be emptied into the trash compactor again. The Administrator will ensure compliance with this correction and will evaluate this on an ongoing basis.

“Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure laundry facilities had a separate area with closed containers to ensure the separate storage and handling of soiled linens and soiled clothing. Findings include, but are not limited to: On 01/08/25 and 01/09/25, the memory care laundry area was toured, and the following was revealed: a. The laundry room had multiple open containers that were overflowing with linen and clothing, and multiple clear garbage bags were piled on the floor with clothing and linen. Direct-care and housekeeping staff were interviewed and stated they did not handle soiled linen or clothing and did not know the facility system for soiled linen processing. b. The laundry room was not used in a way that provided a one-way flow of soiled linen and clothing and was not arranged in a way to keep soiled linen processing separate from regular linen. On 01/08/25, Staff 5 (Resident Care Manager), Staff 9 (MCC CG), and Staff 11 (MCC CG) stated the laundry attendant was on vacation and they did not know who was responsible for handling soiled laundry and linen. Additionally, they stated they did not know the process relating to soiled laundry. On 01/09/25 at 10:55 am, Staff 2 (MC Administrator) confirmed the facility did not have a system for soiled linen and laundry when the laundry attendant was not on shift. The need to ensure laundry facilities had a separate area to ensure the separate storage and handling of soiled linens and clothing that had closed containers, had space to handle soiled linen and clothing processing separate from regular linen and clothing, and was arranged in a way that provided a one-way flow of soiled linen and clothing was reviewed with Staff 2 on 01/09/25 at 11:24 am.

She acknowledged the findings. The laundry system in the Memory Care is clearly designed for natural flow to ensure that soiled laundry, unsoiled laundry, and clean laundry are kept separate and there is a one-way flow. The Administrator and Housekeeping Supervisor will implement signage and care staff training on laundry procedure to ensure all care staff understand the one-way flow of soiled linen and clothing in the laundry process. Outside the locked utility room where the hopper sink is located, there will be a sign put outside the door for care staff to read that says "Dirty". This is where staff are to bring soiled laundry to rinse in the hopper sink and then transfer to the laundry room via the connecting door from the locked utility closet to the laundry room. Outside the locked laundry room there will be a sign put outside the door for care staff to read that says "Clean".

Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure a homelike environment for multiple sampled and unsampled residents who received beverages in disposable cups during meal service. Findings include, but are not limited to: Meal observations were made between 01/06/25 and 01/08/25 in the Lily, Iris and Rose houses of the MCC and revealed beverages were delivered to residents in disposable cups. During an interview on 01/07/25 at 11:46 am, Staff 10 (MCC CG) was asked why the facility was using disposable cups, she stated, “the [reusable] plastic cups are so small we use disposable.” She also reported, “the larger cups are sparse…” Staff 10 then counted the plastic cups within the Rose kitchenette and said, “but it looks like we have enough for everyone right now.” On 01/08/25 at 9:25 am, Staff 4 (Food Services Director) reported the MCC had “red” reusable cups that kitchen staff delivered to the MCC three times a day, and the facility expected caregivers to serve drinks in the reusable cups. Additionally, Staff 4 stated he had been “harping” on facility staff to use the reusable cups “for months.” At 9:35 am on 01/08/24, observations were made of the red reusable cups in the three kitchenettes in the MCC. The Lily house had 12 red reusable cups available, the Iris house had over 21 reusable cups, and the Rose house had 12 reusable cups. The MCC’s census at survey entrance was 29; therefore, there were enough cups for all residents to receive a reusable cup. The need to ensure a homelike environment during meal service was discussed with Staff 2 (MC Administrator) on 01/08/25 at 1:23 pm. She acknowledged the findings. Immediate action has been taken to prohibit the use of disposable cups during meal service for residents. We have an ample amount of reusable, plastic cups in each of the three Houses in Memory Care. The care staff and Life Enrichment staff have been educated on solely using reusable cups when serving drinks to residents. The Food Services Director has placed an order for more reusable cups in different colors and sizes. To ensure this violation does not happen again, the Administrator and the Food Services Director will routinely do a count of all cups in each House and will purchase three times the number of cups needed in various sizes and colors so they are accessible to care staff at all times. The caregivers at each meal (three times daily) will ensure there are enough reusable cups in the House they are working in.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure service plans were completed following quarterly evaluations, reflective of residents' needs, provided clear direction to staff regarding the delivery of service or implemented the service plan for 4 of 7 sampled residents (#s 3, 4, 5 and 8) whose service plans were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to monitor the change of condition, at least weekly, until resolved for 4 of 8 sampled residents (#s 3, 5, 6, and 8) who experienced short-term changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN completed a significant change of condition assessment, including findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 2 of 4 sampled residents (#s 1 and 6) who experienced significant changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to coordinate care with outside providers in order to ensure the continuity of care, for 2 of 5 sampled residents (#s 3 and 8) who received outside health services. Findings include, but are not limited to: Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to maintain infection prevention and control protocols to provide a safe, sanitary and comfortable environment for 1 of 1 sampled resident (# 6) who received ADL assistance and multiple unsampled residents during dining services. Findings include, but are not limited to: Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure physician orders were carried out as prescribed for 1 of 1 sampled resident (# 8) who received nutritional supplements. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 8 moved into the facility in 06/2022 with diagnoses including dementia and gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Review of the resident's current orders, signed on 07/15/24, showed Resident 8 was prescribed a liquid nutritional supplement twice a day, scheduled for administration at 10:00 am and 6:00 pm. Observation of the resident on 01/07/25 and 01/08/25, from approximately 9:00 am to 11:00 am, revealed the resident was having breakfast independently in the dining room, eating at a slow pace. The resident was served a cup of coffee and a cup of water with their meal, with no other beverages or supplements provided. On 01/08/25 at approximately 10:10 am, Staff 9 (MCC CG) reported she worked the evening shift and offered the nutritional supplement as needed when the resident was not eating much. Staff 17 (MCC CG) reported she worked in the morning and was unaware of the nutritional supplement but did encourage the resident to eat more food. On 01/09/25 at 10:02 am, Staff 21 (MCC MA) reported she reminded the care staff to give the nutritional supplement to the resident, as it was kept in the refrigerator in the kitchenette. The need to ensure physician orders were followed as prescribed was discussed with Staff 2 (MC Administrator) and Staff 3 (Health Services Director) on 01/08/25 and 01/09/25. Staff acknowledged the findings. All physician order treatments have been moved out of the Houses and into the med room. Going forward all treatments including nutritional supplements will be kept in the med room to ensure they are managed by the med tech. As an order of being in the MAR, the med tech will monitor the process of giving any nutritional supplement such as Ensure, and will document that the provision of the order was completed. This area will be evaluated on an ongoing basis by the Administrator.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure their re-licensure survey plan of correction was implemented and satisfied the Department. Findings include, but are not limited to:? Refer to C231, C260, C270, C420, and C513. OAR 411-054-0105 (2-4) Inspections and Investigation: Insp Interval (Amended 12/15/21)(2) The facility shall not interfere with a good faith disclosure of information by an employee or volunteer concerning abuse or other action affecting a resident's safety or welfare, as described in OAR 411-054-0028(4).(3) Staff of the Department shall visit and inspect every facility at least but not limited to once every two years for a full in-person survey to determine whether the facility is maintained and operated in accordance with these rules.(a) For each year during which a facility does not have a full survey, the Department shall conduct an in-person inspection of the kitchen and other areas where food is prepared for residents.(b) Subsection (a) will not go into effect until July 1, 2022.(c) Facilities not in compliance with these rules must submit, within ten days of receipt of the inspection report, a plan of correction that satisfies the Department.(d) The Department may impose sanctions for failure to comply with these rules.(4) Department staff may consult with and advise the facility administrator concerning methods of care, records, housing, equipment, and other areas of operation. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure garbage was stored in a covered refuse container and the grounds were kept orderly and free of litter and refuse. Findings include, but are not limited to: On 01/08/25 facility grounds were toured, and the following was identified: a. Approximately 90-feet to the right of the memory care main entrance a fenced area was identified with broken and used equipment and furniture. The fenced area was not equipped with a cover. b. The fenced garbage area was surrounded with broken equipment and furniture, wood planks, metal bars, broken ladders, torn and broken assistive devices, garbage cans, a meat smoker, and a large unclean and broken flattop stove that was removed from the facility kitchen. On 01/08/25 at 1:28 pm, Staff 28 (Maintenance Staff) stated the fenced area was the “junk” area where staff throw away “stuff that residents leave behind” and confirmed most of the “junk” inside and around the fenced area had been there for “quite some time” but some of it has “only been there a month or so.” c. The memory care had a small courtyard that had an overflowing garbage can with empty boxes and bags of garbage surrounding the garbage can. On 01/09/25 at 10:12 am, Staff 13 (MCC CG) was observed to leave a bag of soiled cleaning supplies next to the overflowing garbage can in the courtyard. On 01/09/25 at 10:47 am, Staff 2 (MC Administrator) confirmed she was aware of the “junk” area and stated the small courtyard was being used for garbage because they did not have another place to store it. The need to ensure garbage was stored in a covered refuse container and facility grounds were kept orderly and free of litter and refuse was reviewed with Staff 2 on 01/09/25 at 11:24 am. She acknowledged the findings. The fenced area referred to in the rule violation is not subject to be covered due to what is stored inside the fenced area. The disposed of items that are staged inside the fenced area are items that cannot be recycled and are not biodegradables and cannot be put in the trash compactor. All items outside of the fenced area will be immediately moved inside of the fence to maintain safe walkways around the building. The items staged inside the fenced area will remain staged until we have enough to complete and schedule a junk truck run via the junk truck company. This will be evaluated by the Facilities Director and the Administrator, and will continue to be monitored on an ongoing monthly basis. The trash can in Memory Care has immediately been moved into a locked utility closet that is accessible by care staff. The care staff will be educated on ensuring the trash can does not become overflowing. If a care staff member is the last one to be able to fit a trash bag into the trash bin with the lid fitting correctly, it is that individual's responsibility to immediately take all the trash bags to the trash compactor. Then, at the end of each shift the trash can will be emptied into the trash compactor again. The Administrator will ensure compliance with this correction and will evaluate this on an ongoing basis.

A R Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure laundry facilities had a separate area with closed containers to ensure the separate storage and handling of soiled linens and soiled clothing. Findings include, but are not limited to: On 01/08/25 and 01/09/25, the memory care laundry area was toured, and the following was revealed: a. The laundry room had multiple open containers that were overflowing with linen and clothing, and multiple clear garbage bags were piled on the floor with clothing and linen. Direct-care and housekeeping staff were interviewed and stated they did not handle soiled linen or clothing and did not know the facility system for soiled linen processing. b. The laundry room was not used in a way that provided a one-way flow of soiled linen and clothing and was not arranged in a way to keep soiled linen processing separate from regular linen. On 01/08/25, Staff 5 (Resident Care Manager), Staff 9 (MCC CG), and Staff 11 (MCC CG) stated the laundry attendant was on vacation and they did not know who was responsible for handling soiled laundry and linen. Additionally, they stated they did not know the process relating to soiled laundry. On 01/09/25 at 10:55 am, Staff 2 (MC Administrator) confirmed the facility did not have a system for soiled linen and laundry when the laundry attendant was not on shift. The need to ensure laundry facilities had a separate area to ensure the separate storage and handling of soiled linens and clothing that had closed containers, had space to handle soiled linen and clothing processing separate from regular linen and clothing, and was arranged in a way that provided a one-way flow of soiled linen and clothing was reviewed with Staff 2 on 01/09/25 at 11:24 am. She acknowledged the findings.

She acknowledged the findings. The laundry system in the Memory Care is clearly designed for natural flow to ensure that soiled laundry, unsoiled laundry, and clean laundry are kept separate and there is a one-way flow. The Administrator and Housekeeping Supervisor will implement signage and care staff training on laundry procedure to ensure all care staff understand the one-way flow of soiled linen and clothing in the laundry process. Outside the locked utility room where the hopper sink is located, there will be a sign put outside the door for care staff to read that says "Dirty". This is where staff are to bring soiled laundry to rinse in the hopper sink and then transfer to the laundry room via the connecting door from the locked utility closet to the laundry room.
