The policy must explain how a facility evaluates and accounts for both scheduled and unscheduled resident needs. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to implement effective methods of responding to and resolving resident complaints. Findings include, but are not limited to: A review of Resident Council Meeting Notes dated 10/15/24, 12/10/24, and 01/07/25 identified the following resident concerns: On 10/15/24, staff documented residents stating: * "We are bored, we need more socialization”; * “We want family outings and hotdogs”; * “We want more poker nights and play cards”; * “We would like a pizza night and [non-alcoholic] mai tais”; * “We need to get out more and do, we need models and tinker toys to keep us busy”; * “More movie nights”; * “Ladies would like to put together paper flowers, go Christmas shopping”; * “All residents stated they would like to incorporate food into an activity so they can make things they like instead of hoping they get it on the menu”; * “Need books, such as westerns, mystery, and romance”; * “Need more music and dances”; * “We would like soup of the day not just at dinner time”; * “Residents stated they would like more options with food, they would like hot dogs instead of hamburgers all the time”; * “Memory care said they are not getting their snacks”. Staff documentation on 12/10/24 was as follows: * “Staff need to sanitize hands prior to entering rooms and upon leaving rooms”; * “Hand sanitizer wall mounts are empty; residents want to remain healthy as possible and would like to get the wall mounts filled so staff can utilize them”; and * “Bus needs to be painted or rewrapped as you can still see Farmington Square as the community”. On 01/07/25, staff documented the following concerns: * “A resident brought to the attention that when ringing for assistance no one comes. [S/He] said [s/he] thinks the system is broken and what can we do to be able to get the assistance that the residents need”; * “It was stated the [call] system wasn’t working for a week and they had an interim plan of 15-minute round checks to visually lay eyes on each resident.” * “A resident pressed [his/her] wrist pendant to see how long it would take care staff to respond, this was at the beginning of the meeting [2:00 pm] at the end of the meeting [3:00 pm] a [CG] came.” “[CG] was informed that the pendant had been activated since the beginning of the meeting and that it was not appropriate to take so long to respond.” “[CG] reported the phone was dead, so it was charging”; * “Residents feel they are forgotten by staff when they are sick and trying to minimize exposing others by remaining in rooms”; * “Cottage A is upset as they are not getting their snacks, often times snacks are not furnished or available”; and * “Residents stated laundry is challenging and items don’t always make it back to the residents”. There was no documented evidence the above concerns identified during the Resident Council Meetings had been addressed, responded to, or resolved. In an interview on 01/28/25 at 12:28 pm, Staff 1 (ED) acknowledged the lack of documented follow-up response to complaints or suggestions from Resident Council Meetings. She stated her plan moving forward was to document resident complaints and how the facility attempted to resolve complaints. The need to improve the facility's method for responding to and resolving resident complaints was reviewed with Staff 1 and Staff 2 (Regional Director of Operations) on 01/28/25. They acknowledged the findings. ED will review all Resident Council Notes within 24 hours after monthly Resident Council Meetings ED will identify concerns and note them in Grievance Binder ED will address concerns with appropriate Team Member within 48 hour of Resident Council Meeting ED will follow up with Team Member daily to during Stand Up Meeting to ensure concerns are resolved ED will file completed Grievance form in Completed Grievance binder OAR 411-054-0025 (7) Facility Administration: Policy & Procedure (7) POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.

The policy must explain how a facility evaluates and accounts for both scheduled and unscheduled resident needs. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure incidents were investigated and when abuse could not be immediately ruled out, reported to the local SPD (Seniors and People with Disabilities) office for 4 of 5 sampled residents (#s 1, 3, 4, and 5) who were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to provide a daily program of social and recreational activities based upon individual and group interests, physical, mental, and psychosocial needs, and opportunities for active participation in the community at large. Findings include, but are not limited to: During the survey, conducted 01/27/25 through 01/30/25, observations were made in all three resident-occupied buildings (Cottages A, B, and C). Residents in Cottages A, B, and C were observed staying in their rooms, sitting in chairs sleeping, looking around, and/or exit seeking throughout the survey. The only scheduled activity observed during survey was on 01/29/25 at 1:00 pm, when Bingo was played in Cottage A, with multiple residents in attendance. The survey team did not consistently observe a daily program of social and recreational activities, which created opportunities for participation for the community at large. On 01/29/25, the need to ensure a daily activity program of social and recreational activities that were based on individual and group interests, physical, mental and psychosocial needs, and created opportunities for active participation in the community at large was discussed with Staff 1 (ED). She acknowledged the findings.

Findings include, but are not limited to: Based on the resident evaluation performed before move-in, an initial service plan must be developed before move-in that reflects the identified needs and preferences of the resident. (b) The initial service plan must be reviewed within 30-days of movein to ensure that any changes made to the plan during the initial 30- days, accurately reflect the resident's needs and preferences. (c) Staff must document and date adjustments or changes as applicable. (4) QUARTERLY SERVICE PLAN REQUIREMENTS. (a) Service plans must be completed quarterly after the resident moves into the facility. (b) The quarterly evaluation is the basis of the resident's quarterly service plan. (c) If the resident's service plan is revised and updated at the quarterly review, changes must be dated and initialed, and prior historical information must be maintained. 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 updated at least quarterly, reflective of residents' current care needs and preferences, provided clear direction regarding the delivery of services, and/or were implemented for 6 of 9 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 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 determine and document what action or intervention was needed for a resident following a short-term change of condition, document on the progress of the condition at least weekly until resolution and ensure documentation of interventions was made part of the resident record for 9 of 9 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9) with changes of condition or who required monitoring. Findings include, but are not limited to: Based on interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure non-pharmacological interventions were attempted and documented as unsuccessful prior to PRN psychotropic medication being administered for 1 of 2 sampled residents (# 3) who were prescribed as needed psychotropic medications. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 11/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease and dementia with psychosis. The resident's 12/01/24 through 01/27/25 MARs and physician’s orders were reviewed. Staff were interviewed and the following was identified: Resident 3 had a physician’s order for PRN quetiapine (for hallucinations, agitation, and dementia with behaviors). The resident received the PRN medication four times between 12/01/24 and 01/27/25. On 01/29/25 at 9:35 am, Staff 1 (ED) was requested to check the computer medication system for direction relating to non-drug interventions to try with Resident 3 prior to administering the PRN psychotropic. Staff 1 confirmed there were no interventions listed for staff to try prior to administration in 01/2025’s MAR and staff failed to document non-drug interventions tried and failed prior to giving the PRN to the resident. Although there were non-drug interventions listed to try prior to administrating the PRN on the 12/2024 MAR, there was no documented evidence staff attempted non-drug interventions prior to the administration of the medication. The need to ensure non-pharmacological interventions were documented as attempted and failed prior to the administration of PRN psychotropics was discussed with Staff 1 on 01/30/25 at 12:33 pm. She acknowledged the findings. ED(Executive Director)/HSD(Health Services Director)/Designee will reeducate all med techs/staff on using non-pharmcological interventions and documenting the use of all non-pharmcological interventions prior to administration of psychotropics. Resident #3 had interventions in place on the MAR, the medication techs were identified and re-educated on documentation requirements by the Health Services Director on 2/21/2025. HSD/Designee will audit all PRN psychotropic medications ordered to ensure accuracy, and that each prn psychotropic has listed resident specific non-pharmacological interventions that staff are to attempt prior to the administration The Health Services Director/Executive Director/Designee will audit PRN psychotropic medication administration during clinical huddle to verify that non-pharmacological interventions are attempted and documented. The ED/HSD/Designee will spot check at least 3 x's/week x 4 weeks and then and then monthly at the Continuous Quality Improvement meeting.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to have a sufficient number of caregivers to meet the 24-hour scheduled and unscheduled needs of each resident, including sufficient staff to meet the fire safety evacuation standards. Findings include, but are not limited to: The facility was licensed as a Memory Care with a capacity of 66 beds. a. On 01/27/25 during the entrance conference, survey requested a facility staffing policy or a tool to determine number of caregiving staff needed to provide scheduled and unscheduled residents' care needs. The facility acuity-based staffing tool (ABST) for all residents was reviewed during the survey in addition to the facility’s staffing plan. During the acuity interview on 01/27/25 and subsequent resident record reviews, the following care needs were identified: * The facility had a census of 43 residents that resided in three cottages; * Nine residents were identified as requiring two-person transfers or assistance with care; and * Two cottages were locked units and the residents who resided in them (18 residents living in Cottage A and 10 residents living in Cottage B) required the minimum of a one-person assistance for emergency evacuations. The facility ABST was not accurately being used to determine the correct staffing minutes in all cottages relating to the residents who required two staff members for transfers or care. b. The facility's staffing plan, posted during the survey, showed the following: * Cottage A - Day shift: 2 Caregivers and 1 Med Tech; - Swing shift: 2 Caregivers and 1 Med Tech; and - NOC [Night] shift: 1 Caregiver and 1 Med Tech. * Cottage B - Day shift: 2 Caregivers and 0.5 Med Tech; - Swing shift: 2 Caregivers and 0.5 Med Tech; and - NOC shift: 1 Caregiver and 0.5 Med Tech. * Cottage C - Day shift: 2 Caregivers and 0.5 Med Tech; - Swing shift: 2 Caregivers and 0.5 Med Tech; and - NOC shift: 1 Caregiver and 0.5 Med Tech. The facilities schedule did not include a minimum of two care staff present on night shift in cottages B and C, both that had residents requiring two-person assist with transfers and/or care. The facility's failure to ensure staff adequate in number to meet the scheduled and unscheduled needs of the residents was shared with Staff 1 (ED) on 01/30/25 at 12:33 pm. She acknowledged the findings. HSD/ED/Designee will update the ABST tool prior to a resident moving in, with quarterly service plan updates and with any change of condition. ED/Designee will audit 10% of resident evaluations/service plans per month to ensure accuracy of services provided and time of care provided. ED/Designee will ensure that staffing meets or exceeds the ABST tool to meet resident's scheduled and unscheduled needs OAR 411-054-0070 (1) Staffing Requirements and Training: Staffing (Amended 6/9/21)(1) STAFFING REQUIREMENTS. Facilities must have qualified awake direct care staff, sufficient in number to meet the 24-hour scheduled and unscheduled needs of each resident. Direct care staff provide services for residents that include assistance with activities of daily living, medication administration, resident-focused activities, supervision, and support.(a) If a facility employs universal workers whose duties include other tasks (e.g., housekeeping, laundry, food service), in addition to direct resident care, staffing must be increased to maintain adequate resident care and services.(b) Prior to providing care and services to residents, direct care staff must be trained as required in sections (2) - (4) of this rule.(c) The following facility employees are ancillary to the caregiver requirements in this section:(A) Individuals whose duties are exclusively housekeeping, building maintenance, clerical, administrative, or food preparation.(B) Licensed nurses who provide services as specified in OAR 411-054-0045 (Resident Health Services).(C) Administrators.(d) The Department retains the right to require minimum staffing standards based on acuity, complaint investigation or survey inspection.(e) Based on resident acuity and facility structural design there must be adequate direct care staff present at all times, to meet the fire safety evacuation standards as required by the fire authority or the Department.(f) The licensee is responsible for assuring that staffing is increased to compensate for the evaluated care and service needs of residents at move-in and for the changing physical or mental needs of the residents.(g) A minimum of two direct care staff must be scheduled and available at all times whenever a resident requires the assistance of two direct care staff for scheduled and unscheduled needs.(h) In facilities where residents are hosed in two or more detached buildings, or if a building has distinct and segregated areas, a designated caregiver must be awake and available in each building and each segregated area at all times.(i) Facilities must have a written, defined system to determine appropriate numbers of direct care staff and general staffing based on resident acuity and service needs. Such systems may be either manual or electronic.(A) Guidelines for systems must also consider physical elements of a building, use of technology if applicable and staff experience.(B) Facilities must be able to demonstrate how their staffing systems work. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to have accurate care minutes included on the acuity-based staffing tool (ABST) for 4 of 5 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 3, and 4) and two unsampled residents. Findings include, but are not limited to: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to update the acuity-based staffing tool (ABST) before a resident moved into the facility for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 3 and 6) and for nine unsampled residents, and no less than quarterly for 1 of 1 unsampled resident. Findings include, but are not limited to: Review of the ABST on 01/27/25 revealed the following: * Resident 3 admitted to the facility in 11/2024. The ABST reflected care minutes were entered three days after the resident moved in; * Resident 6 admitted to the facility in 11/2024. The ABST reflected care minutes were entered two days after the resident moved in; * The ABST reflected that nine unsampled residents had their care minutes entered between one and twelve days after admitting to the facility; and * One unsampled resident’s ABST had not been updated since 09/2024. The need to ensure residents' ABST was updated prior to move-in and at least quarterly was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED) on 01/30/25 at 12:33 pm. She acknowledged the findings. ED will educate Resident Care Coordinator (RCC)/HSD on ABST update requirements to include: prior to move in, quarterly service plans and with any change of condition. Regional Director of Health Services completed an audit of the ABST tool on 2/6/2025 and on 2/12/2025 on all residents to ensure that all residents had been updated quarterly and with change of conditions, any time that was not reflective of needs was updated. ED/HSD and/or Designee will audit ABST prior to any new resident move in to ensure that care time is reflected accurately. Health Services Director/Executive Director/Designee will update the ABST tool prior to a resident moving in, with quarterly service plan updates and with any change of condition. ED educated the Resident Care Coordinator on 2/19/2025 on how time is to be entered into the ABST based on the evaluation, actual time of resident care. ED/Designee will audit 10% of residents each week x 4 weeks utilizing evaluations/service plans, timing resident care, and staff interviews to ensure accuracy of services provided and time of care provided and update the ABST as required. ED/Designee will audit the ABST one time per month to ensure ABST is updated prior to move in, at least quarterly and with change of condition and report to the Continuous Quality Improvement meeting.
