Plain-language summary
During a re-licensure inspection in January 2026, the facility was found to have multiple licensing violations. The facility failed to immediately report suspected abuse to the local SPD office and failed to properly investigate injuries of unknown cause for two residents; failed to develop and implement service plans that reflected residents' needs and were available to staff for five residents; failed to monitor and document progress for three residents with changes in condition; failed to complete a required nurse assessment when one resident gained 11.5 pounds in one month despite having heart failure and kidney disease; and failed to properly document nursing delegation before allowing staff to administer insulin injections to one resident, with one staff member administering insulin before delegation was even completed.
“Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure incidents of abuse or suspected abuse were immediately reported to the local Seniors & People with Disability (SPD) office, injuries of unknown cause were promptly investigated to rule out abuse or reported to the SPD if abuse could not be ruled out, and failed to promptly investigate incidents of abuse or suspected abuse and document all required elements for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 2 and 3) whose incidents and injuries of unknown cause were reviewed. 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 reflective of the resident’s needs, were readily available to staff, provided clear direction regarding the delivery of services, and were implemented, for 5 of 7 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8) whose service plans were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to:”
“Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to determine, document, and communicate to staff what actions or interventions were needed for a resident following a short term change of condition and monitor the resident with weekly progress noted until resolved, for 3 of 6 sampled residents (#s 2, 3, and 8) with short term changes of condition requiring monitoring. Findings include, but are not limited to:”
“Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed for 1 of 2 sampled residents (# 3) who experienced a significant weight gain. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the assisted living facility in 08/2025 with diagnoses including heart failure, dementia and chronic kidney disease. The resident’s clinical record from 09/30/25 to 01/19/26 was reviewed and revealed the following: Resident 3’s weight record was reviewed during the survey and revealed the following: * 09/12/25 – 156.9 pounds; * 10/12/25 – 168.4 pounds; and * 01/11/26 – 176.8 pounds. Review of the weight record indicated Resident 3 experienced a gain of 11.5 pounds, or 7.3 % of his/her body weight, between 09/12/25 and 10/12/25. This represented a significant change of condition for which an RN assessment of the weight gain was required. There was no documented evidence a facility RN completed an assessment which included findings, a description of the resident’s status and interventions made as a result of the assessment. In an interview on 01/23/26 at 5:02 pm, Witness 1 (RN consultant) confirmed that there was no RN assessment of the resident’s significant weight gain. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed for the resident who experienced significant weight changes was discussed with Staff 1 (Associate ED), Staff 2 (Interim ED), Staff 4 (Resident Care Director/RN) and Witness 1 on 01/23/26 at 12:10 pm. They acknowledged the findings.”
“Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the use of an acuity-based staffing tool (ABST) to develop and routinely update the facility’s posted staffing plan and failed to ensure the posted staffing plan contained the date(s) it was effective. Findings include but are not limited to: The facility’s ABST was reviewed on 01/23/26 at 12:30 pm with Staff 1 (Associate ED), Staff 2 (Interim ED), Staff 3 (MCC Director), Staff 4 (Resident Care Director/RN) and Witness 1 (RN Consultant). The following was identified: The ABST for the assisted living floors showed the facility needed to schedule five staff for day shift, five staff for evening shift and two staff for overnight shift. Review of the staffing schedule from 01/18/26 through 01/24/26 indicated the facility was scheduling staff as required. However, the posted staffing plan for the assisted living floors indicated the facility was staffing four staff for day shift, four staff for evening shift and two staff for the overnight shift. The posted staffing plan for the assisted living did not accurately reflect the ABST, and it did not include the date it became effective. The need to ensure the results of an ABST were used to develop and routinely update the facility’s posted staffing plan and the staffing plan contained an effective date was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2, Staff 5 (Human Resources Director) and Witness 1 on 01/23/26 at 3:45pm. They acknowledged the findings.”
“Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure delegation and teaching was provided and documented by a RN in accordance with the Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) adopted by the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) in chapter 851, division 047 for 1 of 1 sampled resident (# 7) who received insulin injections by a facility unregulated assistive person (UAP). Findings include, but are not limited to: Pursuant to OAR chapter 851 division 006, delegation process means the process utilized by an RN to authorize an UAP to perform a nursing procedure for a client, the outcome of which the RN retains accountability for. The RN must document all delegation process decisions, actions and outcomes pursuant to OAR 851-045 including comprehensive assessment, reasoned conclusions that identify client problems and risks, educate the UAP and evaluate their learned knowledge, and provide a one-on-one education and evaluation experience with the UAP and the client. Resident 7 was admitted to the assisted living facility in 10/2024 with diagnoses including dementia and type 2 diabetes. During the acuity interview on 01/20/26, Resident 7 was identified to be administered insulin via injection multiple times daily by a facility UAP. Resident 7's MARs from 09/01/25 through 10/31/25 and 12/01/25 through 01/23/26 revealed insulin injections had been given by Staff 8 (MT/CG), Staff 9 (MT/CG), Staff 22 (MT/CG), and Staff 23 (MT/CG). Staff 23 was no longer employed at the facility. Review of the nursing delegation binder and the MAR revealed the following: * There was no documented evidence the initial nursing delegation was completed for Staff 22 and 23; * The initial nursing delegation for Staff 8 was dated 09/17/25. However, the MAR showed Staff 8 signed as having administered insulin to the resident on 09/11/25, 09/14/25, 09/15/25 and 09/16/25, which occurred prior to completion of the initial delegation; * The initial nursing delegation for Staff 9 was dated 10/17/25. However, the MAR showed Staff 9 signed as having administered insulin to the resident on 09/30/25, which occurred prior to completion of the initial delegation; and * The initial delegation for Staff 8 and 9 lacked documentation of the skills and abilities of each UAP, and did not include documentation of the rationale for deciding the task could be safely delegated to the UAP or whether the RN had previously authorized the same UAP to perform the same procedure or for how long the RN had worked with the UAP. The need to ensure nursing delegation and teaching to facility UAPs was provided and documented by an RN in accordance with the OARs adopted by the OSBN in chapter 851, Division 047 was reviewed with Staff 4 (Resident Care Director/RN) on 01/23/26 at 5:40 pm. She acknowledged the findings. No further information was provided.”
“Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to coordinate on-site health services with outside service providers and failed to ensure outside service providers left written information in the facility that addressed the on-site services being provided to the resident and any clinical information necessary for facility staff to provide supplemental care for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#4) who received home health services. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 4 was admitted to the assisted living facility in 02/2025 with diagnoses including Parkinsonism, Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis, and anxiety disorder. The resident’s clinical record, reviewed from 10/27/25 to 01/20/26, indicated the following: * Resident 4 returned to the facility on 12/09/25 following surgery and skilled rehabilitation for a hip fracture; and * Resident 4 was receiving PT and OT services in the facility. This was noted in the resident’s 12/09/25 service plan and confirmed in an interview on 01/22/26 with Witness 2 (Family). There was no documented evidence the outside service provider had left written information about the progress of the resident’s on-site services, including any clinical information necessary for facility staff to provide supplemental care. The need to coordinate on-site health services with outside service providers and ensure outside service providers left written information in the facility regarding the resident’s progress was reviewed with Staff 1 (Associate ED), Staff 2 (Interim ED), Staff 4 (Resident Care Director/RN), and Staff 5 (Human Resources Director) on 01/23/26 at 12:36 pm. Staff 4 acknowledged the outside provider had not provided the facility with any written reports of Resident 4’s therapy and progress. Michael Farrell1.

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 reflective of the resident’s needs, were readily available to staff, provided clear direction regarding the delivery of services, and were implemented, for 5 of 7 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8) whose service plans were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to determine, document, and communicate to staff what actions or interventions were needed for a resident following a short term change of condition and monitor the resident with weekly progress noted until resolved, for 3 of 6 sampled residents (#s 2, 3, and 8) with short term changes of condition requiring monitoring. Findings include, but are not limited to: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed for 1 of 2 sampled residents (# 3) who experienced a significant weight gain. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the assisted living facility in 08/2025 with diagnoses including heart failure, dementia and chronic kidney disease. The resident’s clinical record from 09/30/25 to 01/19/26 was reviewed and revealed the following: Resident 3’s weight record was reviewed during the survey and revealed the following: * 09/12/25 – 156.9 pounds; * 10/12/25 – 168.4 pounds; and * 01/11/26 – 176.8 pounds. Review of the weight record indicated Resident 3 experienced a gain of 11.5 pounds, or 7.3 % of his/her body weight, between 09/12/25 and 10/12/25. This represented a significant change of condition for which an RN assessment of the weight gain was required. There was no documented evidence a facility RN completed an assessment which included findings, a description of the resident’s status and interventions made as a result of the assessment. In an interview on 01/23/26 at 5:02 pm, Witness 1 (RN consultant) confirmed that there was no RN assessment of the resident’s significant weight gain. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed for the resident who experienced significant weight changes was discussed with Staff 1 (Associate ED), Staff 2 (Interim ED), Staff 4 (Resident Care Director/RN) and Witness 1 on 01/23/26 at 12:10 pm. They acknowledged the findings. Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure delegation and teaching was provided and documented by a RN in accordance with the Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) adopted by the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) in chapter 851, division 047 for 1 of 1 sampled resident (# 7) who received insulin injections by a facility unregulated assistive person (UAP). Findings include, but are not limited to: Pursuant to OAR chapter 851 division 006, delegation process means the process utilized by an RN to authorize an UAP to perform a nursing procedure for a client, the outcome of which the RN retains accountability for. The RN must document all delegation process decisions, actions and outcomes pursuant to OAR 851-045 including comprehensive assessment, reasoned conclusions that identify client problems and risks, educate the UAP and evaluate their learned knowledge, and provide a one-on-one education and evaluation experience with the UAP and the client. Resident 7 was admitted to the assisted living facility in 10/2024 with diagnoses including dementia and type 2 diabetes. During the acuity interview on 01/20/26, Resident 7 was identified to be administered insulin via injection multiple times daily by a facility UAP. Resident 7's MARs from 09/01/25 through 10/31/25 and 12/01/25 through 01/23/26 revealed insulin injections had been given by Staff 8 (MT/CG), Staff 9 (MT/CG), Staff 22 (MT/CG), and Staff 23 (MT/CG). Staff 23 was no longer employed at the facility. Review of the nursing delegation binder and the MAR revealed the following: * There was no documented evidence the initial nursing delegation was completed for Staff 22 and 23; * The initial nursing delegation for Staff 8 was dated 09/17/25. However, the MAR showed Staff 8 signed as having administered insulin to the resident on 09/11/25, 09/14/25, 09/15/25 and 09/16/25, which occurred prior to completion of the initial delegation; * The initial nursing delegation for Staff 9 was dated 10/17/25. However, the MAR showed Staff 9 signed as having administered insulin to the resident on 09/30/25, which occurred prior to completion of the initial delegation; and * The initial delegation for Staff 8 and 9 lacked documentation of the skills and abilities of each UAP, and did not include documentation of the rationale for deciding the task could be safely delegated to the UAP or whether the RN had previously authorized the same UAP to perform the same procedure or for how long the RN had worked with the UAP. The need to ensure nursing delegation and teaching to facility UAPs was provided and documented by an RN in accordance with the OARs adopted by the OSBN in chapter 851, Division 047 was reviewed with Staff 4 (Resident Care Director/RN) on 01/23/26 at 5:40 pm. She acknowledged the findings. No further information was provided. Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to coordinate on-site health services with outside service providers and failed to ensure outside service providers left written information in the facility that addressed the on-site services being provided to the resident and any clinical information necessary for facility staff to provide supplemental care for 1 of 2 sampled residents (#4) who received home health services. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 4 was admitted to the assisted living facility in 02/2025 with diagnoses including Parkinsonism, Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis, and anxiety disorder. The resident’s clinical record, reviewed from 10/27/25 to 01/20/26, indicated the following: * Resident 4 returned to the facility on 12/09/25 following surgery and skilled rehabilitation for a hip fracture; and * Resident 4 was receiving PT and OT services in the facility. This was noted in the resident’s 12/09/25 service plan and confirmed in an interview on 01/22/26 with Witness 2 (Family). There was no documented evidence the outside service provider had left written information about the progress of the resident’s on-site services, including any clinical information necessary for facility staff to provide supplemental care. The need to coordinate on-site health services with outside service providers and ensure outside service providers left written information in the facility regarding the resident’s progress was reviewed with Staff 1 (Associate ED), Staff 2 (Interim ED), Staff 4 (Resident Care Director/RN), and Staff 5 (Human Resources Director) on 01/23/26 at 12:36 pm. Staff 4 acknowledged the outside provider had not provided the facility with any written reports of Resident 4’s therapy and progress. Michael Farrell1. Resident 4: Hospice Services were initiated and resident's Service Plan was updated indicating coordination of care with Hospice Provider on 2/12/26. Hospice provided updated orders and progress notes 2/13/26. 2. Facility will identify all residents receiving third party services through medical record review by RN, Program Director, or designee. All residents receiving third party services will have their Service Plan updated. 3. Third party providers will be educated that progress notes are required to be completed after services are rendered and prior to leaving Facility. Progress notes are to be left with the Program Director in-person or designated mailbox. The facility will conduct a weekly audit of third party Progress Notes for residents receiving services for the next three months. 4. The Nurse, Program Director or designee will monitor for ongoing compliance. OAR 411-054-0045(2) Res Hlth Srvc: On- and Off-Site Health Srvc (2) ON-SITE AND OFF-SITE HEALTH SERVICES. The facility must assist residents in accessing health care services and benefits to which they are entitled from outside providers.

This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure a safe medication and treatment administration system. Findings include, but are not limited to: During the re-licensure survey, conducted 01/20/26 through 01/23/26, professional oversight of the facility's medication and treatment administration system was found to be ineffective based on deficiencies in the following areas: * C282: RN Delegation and Teaching; and * C302: Systems: Tracking Controlled Substances. Failure to ensure a safe medication system and to ensure adequate professional oversight based on deficiencies related to medication and treatment administration was discussed with Staff 1 (Associate ED), Staff 2 (Interim ED), Staff 3 (MCC Director), Staff 5 (Human Resources Director), and Witness 1 (RN Consultant) on 01/23/26 at 3:20 pm. They acknowledged the findings. Please refer to citation 282 for plan of correction. OAR 411-054-0055 (1)(a) Systems: Medications and Treatments (1) MEDICATION AND TREATMENT ADMINISTRATION SYSTEMS. The facility must have safe medication and treatment administration systems in place that are approved by a pharmacist consultant, registered nurse, or physician.(a) The administrator is responsible for ensuring adequate professional oversight of the medication and treatment administration system. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to have a system in place for accurately tracking controlled substances administered by the facility for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 3 and 8) whose MARs and Controlled Substance Disposition Logs were reviewed for accuracy. Findings include, but are not limited to: Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the facility RN, a PT, or an OT conducted a thorough assessment of a device with restraining qualities, the use of the device was included in the resident service plan, and the facility instructed caregivers on the correct use and precautions related to the use of the device, for 3 of 4 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, and 4) with devices with restraining qualities. Findings include, but are not limited to: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the use of an acuity-based staffing tool (ABST) to develop and routinely update the facility’s posted staffing plan and failed to ensure the posted staffing plan contained the date(s) it was effective. Findings include but are not limited to: The facility’s ABST was reviewed on 01/23/26 at 12:30 pm with Staff 1 (Associate ED), Staff 2 (Interim ED), Staff 3 (MCC Director), Staff 4 (Resident Care Director/RN) and Witness 1 (RN Consultant). The following was identified: The ABST for the assisted living floors showed the facility needed to schedule five staff for day shift, five staff for evening shift and two staff for overnight shift. Review of the staffing schedule from 01/18/26 through 01/24/26 indicated the facility was scheduling staff as required. However, the posted staffing plan for the assisted living floors indicated the facility was staffing four staff for day shift, four staff for evening shift and two staff for the overnight shift. The posted staffing plan for the assisted living did not accurately reflect the ABST, and it did not include the date it became effective. The need to ensure the results of an ABST were used to develop and routinely update the facility’s posted staffing plan and the staffing plan contained an effective date was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2, Staff 5 (Human Resources Director) and Witness 1 on 01/23/26 at 3:45pm.
