“Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to document sufficient number of caregiving staff to meet the 24-hour scheduled and unscheduled needs of residents to compensate for staff duties beyond direct resident care, and failed to have an accurate and effective Acuity Based Staffing Tool (ABST) that included all required components and defined an appropriate number of caregivers and general staff based on resident acuity and service needs. Findings include, but are not limited to: The facility was home to 19 residents at the time of the re-licensure survey. During the acuity interview on 08/07/23, the facility identified multiple residents with high ADL care needs, two of which required two direct care staff to assist with transfers. The facility's Uniform Disclosure Statement (UDS) was reviewed 08/07/23. The UDS staffing plan showed: * Day shift: one MT and two CGs; * Swing shift: one MT and two CGs; and * Night shift: one MT and one CG. Observations and interviews conducted during the survey 08/07/23 through 08/09/23 identified the following: * The staff were not direct caregivers but universal workers. In addition to providing resident care, staff duties included serving food and beverages, cleaning up after meals, doing residents' laundry and assisting with activities and snacks . The regulation requires that if universal workers are used, the facility must increase the number of staff to maintain adequate resident care and services. The number of staff was not increased to meet resident needs. During an interview on 08/09/23 Staff 2 (Associate ED) stated there was an error on the UDS. At 10:45 am an updated copy of the UDS was provided. Care giving staff were changed to universal workers, but the staffing numbers remained the same.

The staffing schedule for 08/01/23 through 08/10/23 identified only two staff scheduled during the night shift. Some of the staff scheduled at night were not on the MCC staff list and were identified to the survey team as ALF staff. Through interviews with multiple MTs and CGs 08/08/23 and 08/09/23 staff stated the MCC only had two staff working at night, one MT and one CG. They stated the MT would at times float over to the ALF and pass medication or help ALF staff, leaving only one direct care staff member on the floor of the MCC for at least part of the night shift. During an interview on 08/11/23, Staff 1 and Staff 2 acknowledged staff scheduled to work the MCC also worked on the ALF during the overnight shift and verified there were times on the overnight shift where only one direct care staff was present in the MCC. The need to ensure the facility provided a sufficient number of direct care staff to meet the 24 hour scheduled and unscheduled needs of residents to include a minimum of two direct care staff who were scheduled and available at all times when a resident required the assistance of two direct care staff, was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 2 on 08/11/23.

Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the delegation and supervision of special tasks of nursing care were completed in accordance with the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) Division 47 Rules, for 1 of 1 sampled resident (# 1) who received insulin injections by unlicensed facility staff. Resident 1 was at risk for harm related to potential medical complications from the lack of an RN assessment of the resident's condition, unlicensed staff training and supervision to ensure safety and accuracy of insulin administration. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 06/2023 with diagnoses including diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Review of the 07/01/23 through 07/31/23 MAR noted the resident received routine insulin multiple times every day. The MAR noted Staff 8 (MT), Staff 10 (MT) and Staff 12 (MT) administered insulin to the resident during the month of July. During an interview with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Associate ED) and Staff 5 (LPN) on 08/10/23 at 12:48 pm, they stated the memory care community had one resident that received insulin and the facility RN had recently completed delegation. Staff 9, the facility RN, was not present and available during the survey. Review of the delegation binder for Resident 1 revealed no documented evidence the resident's condition had been assessed by the RN to determine if s/he was stable and predictable or determine the frequency the resident should be reassessed, including rationale. The records also revealed there was no documented evidence Staff 12 had been delegated by an RN including: * Rationale why the task could be safely delegated; * Skills, abilities and willingness of non-licensed staff to complete the task; * Task was taught to the non-licensed staff and they were competent to safely perform task; * Written instructions available including risks, side effects, response, and risk factors; * Non-licensed staff were taught the task was client specific and not transferable; * Determination of frequency the non-licensed staff should be supervised and reevaluated, including rationale; and * RN takes responsibility for delegating task and ensures supervision will occur for as long as RN was supervising performance. On 08/10/23, the need to ensure all staff who administered insulin injections were appropriately delegated and supervised in accordance with OSBN Administrative Rules was discussed with Staff 1, 2 and 5. They acknowledged the above findings. The surveyor requested an immediate plan to ensure insulin was administered by licensed or delegated staff in accordance with OSBN Division 47 Rules. On 08/10/12 at 5:00 pm, a plan to address the delegation issue which included licensed staff administering insulin until delegation was completed was accepted and the situation was abated. Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the delegation and supervision of special tasks of nursing care were completed in accordance with the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) Division 47 Rules, for 1 of 1 sampled resident (# 1) who received insulin injections by unlicensed facility staff. Resident 1 was at risk for harm related to potential medical complications from the lack of an RN assessment of the resident's condition, unlicensed staff training and supervision to ensure safety and accuracy of insulin administration. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 06/2023 with diagnoses including diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Review of the 07/01/23 through 07/31/23 MAR noted the resident received routine insulin multiple times every day. The MAR noted Staff 8 (MT), Staff 10 (MT) and Staff 12 (MT) administered insulin to the resident during the month of July. During an interview with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Associate ED) and Staff 5 (LPN) on 08/10/23 at 12:48 pm, they stated the memory care community had one resident that received insulin and the facility RN had recently completed delegation. Staff 9, the facility RN, was not present and available during the survey. Review of the delegation binder for Resident 1 revealed no documented evidence the resident's condition had been assessed by the RN to determine if s/he was stable and predictable or determine the frequency the resident should be reassessed, including rationale. The records also revealed there was no documented evidence Staff 12 had been delegated by an RN including: * Rationale why the task could be safely delegated; * Skills, abilities and willingness of non-licensed staff to complete the task; * Task was taught to the non-licensed staff and they were competent to safely perform task; * Written instructions available including risks, side effects, response, and risk factors; * Non-licensed staff were taught the task was client specific and not transferable; * Determination of frequency the non-licensed staff should be supervised and reevaluated, including rationale; and * RN takes responsibility for delegating task and ensures supervision will occur for as long as RN was supervising performance. On 08/10/23, the need to ensure all staff who administered insulin injections were appropriately delegated and supervised in accordance with OSBN Administrative Rules was discussed with Staff 1, 2 and 5. They acknowledged the above findings. The surveyor requested an immediate plan to ensure insulin was administered by licensed or delegated staff in accordance with OSBN Division 47 Rules. On 08/10/12 at 5:00 pm, a plan to address the delegation issue which included licensed staff administering insulin until delegation was completed was accepted and the situation was abated. Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to establish and maintain effective infection prevention and control protocols. Findings include, but are not limited to: Observations made during the survey on 08/07/23 and 08/08/23 determined the facility failed to adhere to universal precautions for infection control in the following areas: 1. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 07/2021 with diagnoses including dementia. Observations and interviews with staff during the survey identified s/he relied on staff for incontinent care needs. On 08/08/23 at 10:25 am, Staff 9 (CG) provided ADL incontinent care for Resident 2. Staff 9 donned gloves without first performing hand hygiene. Staff 9 removed the soiled brief and threw it into the trash. Staff 9 then used a wipe and performed pericare without first doffing soiled gloves, performing hand hygiene, and donning clean gloves. The need to establish and maintain effective infection prevention and control protocols was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (Associate ED) on 08/10/23. They acknowledged the findings.

The requirement to ensure adequate professional oversight of the medication and treatment administration system was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 27 (MCC Director) on 12/07/23. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 01/2021 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease and Type II diabetes. During the acuity interview on 12/05/23, the resident was noted to received insulin administration by staff. The resident was in the hospital at the time of survey. The resident's physician orders and 11/01/23 through 11/27/23 MAR was reviewed and revealed the following: a. The MAR had multiple blanks on it regarding insulin administration. b. On multiple occasions the insulin orders were not carried out as prescribed. Refer to C303 example 3a and 3b. c. The MAR instructed staff to hold insulin administration when the resident's CBG [blood sugar level] was 70 or less and there were 20 occasions staff did not measure the CBG result to determine the amount of insulin to administer or hold. d. Review of the 10/10/23 to 11/27/23 insulin administration records and delegation records showed the following: * Staff 30 (MT) documented on the MAR she administered Resident 1's insulin injection on 10/28/23. There was no evaluation by the facility RN for Staff 30's skills and ability. Staff 30 was no longer working in the facility. * Staff 31 (RCC Supervisor) documented on the MAR she administered Resident 1's insulin injection on multiple occasions. There was no current evaluation by the facility RN for Staff 31's skills and ability. The last evaluation for Staff 31's skills and ability was completed on 08/17/23 and scheduled for re-evaluation "approx. [approximately] on 10/16/23." The need to ensure a safe medication system and to ensure adequate professional oversight including injectable delegated tasks was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 27 (MCC Director) on 12/07/23. The findings were acknowledged. 3. Administrative oversight of the medication administration system was found to be ineffective based on deficiencies identified in the following areas: * C303 Systems: Treatment Orders; * C305 Systems: Resident Right to Refuse; * C310 Systems: Medication Administration; and * C330 Systems: Psychotropic Medication. The requirement to ensure adequate professional oversight of the medication and treatment administration system was discussed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 27 (MCC Director) on 12/07/23.

The resident had a physician order for olanzapine 2.5 mg which stated "1 tablet by mouth every evening after dinner for dementia". Review of the MAR showed that the medication had not been administered to the resident at all during the dates reviewed. During an interview with Staff 5 (LPN) and Staff 27 (MCC Director), they stated it appeared the pharmacy had put in the medication incorrectly as a PRN instead of a scheduled medication when it was prescribed in June 2023. They acknowledged the facility's current system for reviewing MARs did not find the discrepancy, and the resident had not been receiving the medication. b. Resident 5 had a physician's order dated 11/24/23 stating "may crush pills for difficulty swallowing". Multiple facility MTs stated they had been trained that that meant to crush all medications, including opening capsules which had bottles stating "do not crush". On 12/07/23, Staff 1 (ED) provided a copy of the facility's "Med 15- Crushing/Breaking Medications" policy dated 12/14/20 which noted "capsule may not be opened unless designed and ordered as a "sprinkle" medication." During an interview on 12/07/23, Staff 1, Staff 5, and Staff 27 acknowledged they were unaware of the MT's current practice as described above. c. Multiple medications had been initialed as provided by "A1" which correlated with "agency staff". Surveyors were provided with conflicting information as to who administered the medications.

" C 350: OAR 411-054-0065 (1-3) Administrator Qualification and Requirements Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to document sufficient number of caregiving staff to meet the 24-hour scheduled and unscheduled needs of residents to compensate for staff duties beyond direct resident care, and failed to have an accurate and effective Acuity Based Staffing Tool (ABST) that included all required components and defined an appropriate number of caregivers and general staff based on resident acuity and service needs. Findings include, but are not limited to: The facility was home to 19 residents at the time of the re-licensure survey. During the acuity interview on 08/07/23, the facility identified multiple residents with high ADL care needs, two of which required two direct care staff to assist with transfers. The facility's Uniform Disclosure Statement (UDS) was reviewed 08/07/23. The UDS staffing plan showed: * Day shift: one MT and two CGs; * Swing shift: one MT and two CGs; and * Night shift: one MT and one CG. Observations and interviews conducted during the survey 08/07/23 through 08/09/23 identified the following: * The staff were not direct caregivers but universal workers. In addition to providing resident care, staff duties included serving food and beverages, cleaning up after meals, doing residents' laundry and assisting with activities and snacks . The regulation requires that if universal workers are used, the facility must increase the number of staff to maintain adequate resident care and services. The number of staff was not increased to meet resident needs. During an interview on 08/09/23 Staff 2 (Associate ED) stated there was an error on the UDS. At 10:45 am an updated copy of the UDS was provided. Care giving staff were changed to universal workers, but the staffing numbers remained the same. The ABST was reviewed with Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 on 08/09/23 at 1:45 pm. The tool lacked some of the 22 required components used to determine staffing levels. The staffing schedule for 08/01/23 through 08/10/23 identified only two staff scheduled during the night shift. Some of the staff scheduled at night were not on the MCC staff list and were identified to the survey team as ALF staff. Through interviews with multiple MTs and CGs 08/08/23 and 08/09/23 staff stated the MCC only had two staff working at night, one MT and one CG. They stated the MT would at times float over to the ALF and pass medication or help ALF staff, leaving only one direct care staff member on the floor of the MCC for at least part of the night shift. During an interview on 08/11/23, Staff 1 and Staff 2 acknowledged staff scheduled to work the MCC also worked on the ALF during the overnight shift and verified there were times on the overnight shift where only one direct care staff was present in the MCC. The need to ensure the facility provided a sufficient number of direct care staff to meet the 24 hour scheduled and unscheduled needs of residents to include a minimum of two direct care staff who were scheduled and available at all times when a resident required the assistance of two direct care staff, was discussed with Staff 1 and Staff 2 on 08/11/23.
