“Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure reasonable precautions were implemented to ensure a resident received sufficient assistance with bed mobility, during incontinent care, to maintain their health and safety for 1 of 1 sampled resident who was dependent for care (#3). Resident 3 expressed distress and anxiety during care related to how staff were moving the resident in bed. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2014 with diagnoses including dementia. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's 11/15/24 service plan, 09/17/24 through 11/26/24 observation notes, physician communications, and incident investigations were completed. The resident was noted to be dependent with all ADLs. The resident required two staff assistance for transfers and dressing and a Hoyer lift for transfers. The resident was nonverbal. The resident’s muscles and limbs were very tight to move, straighten and bend fully. The resident was noted to have anxiety and behaviors with ADL cares due to his/her confusion. Staff were instructed to tell the resident step by step what was occurring during care to help alleviate any distress. Observations of ADL care including incontinent care, bed mobility, Hoyer transfer and dressing were completed between 12/17/24 and 12/19/24 and showed the following: Afternoon incontinence care on 12/17/24: * The resident was assisted by two staff and a Hoyer from his/her wheelchair into his/her bed. * The resident required incontinence care and a clothing change during the observation. * The resident was turned side to side to remove and replace his/her brief, provide cleaning and change the resident’s pants. * The resident was positioned too close to the outer edge of the mattress during multiple rolls side to side. * On two occasions Staff 18 (CG) put a hand on the side of the resident’s head and used his/her head as leverage to help turn the resident, while the other hand was at the resident’s hip. Staff 18 was told by Staff 9 (CG) and by the surveyor not to use the resident’s head to help turn him/her. * When rolled to the right, the resident’s entire upper body and arms were observed hanging off the bed. Staff were standing on the right side of the bed near the resident’s waist. The resident’s torso was dangling off the bed when staff were asked by the surveyor, to adjust the resident. * When the resident was rolled to the right while lying on the very outer edge of the bed, s/he began to yell out, grab at staff and/or flail his/her arms. * The resident was not placed in the center of the bed, or his/her placement readjusted prior to providing care or rolling. Start of day dressing, incontinence care and mid-morning incontinence care on 12/18/24: * The resident was dressed for the day and his/her brief changed as part of his/her morning routine. * The resident’s position in bed was not checked or adjusted prior to rolling the resident for clothing and brief changes. * The resident was rolled to the left side with his/her head landing extremely close to the wall. The resident’s head did not contact the wall. The resident was making noises, yelling and moaning during care. The resident was not told what was occurring before it happened. * The resident was rolled to the right side but was extremely close to the edge. The resident showed signs of distress when turned to the right, was unstable and grabbing at staff clothing and bodies. The resident was heard moaning, yelling, and observed flailing his/her arms. * The resident was rolled so far to the right s/he was partially on his/her stomach. The resident’s face was pressed closely to the staff’s pants/leg and his/her yelling/crying out was muffled. * Staff 12 and 18 (CGs) were again asked by the surveyor to readjust the resident’s position to keep him/her away from the edge when rolling and to ensure the resident’s face was not up against the bedding or staff clothing/legs. * The side of the resident’s head was used to assist in a roll as previously observed on 12/17/24. Additionally, the back of the resident’s head/upper neck was used to help lift the resident up to adjust his/her shirt placement. * Staff 18 (CG) was told by the surveyor not to use the side of the resident’s head or the back of his/her neck for any position adjustments as it could cause injury. * Neither of the two staff taking care of the resident provided him/her information on what was occurring with care or spoke to the resident to try and soothe him/her when showing signs of distress and being upset during most of the care. * While agitated and calling out, the resident was grabbing at staff, his/her brief and putting hands near peri area. Staff 12 (CG) was observed to pull the residents sweatshirt up over the resident’s now crossed arms and place her own hand on top of the sweatshirt over the resident’s arms. The resident pulled his/her arms free, and staff did not attempt a similar move during the remainder of care. In an interview on 12/18/24, Staff 12 and Staff 18 indicated they understood the resident should be positioned away from the edge of the bed before rolling. In an interview on 12/18/24, Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 5 (RCC) were provided with information on the observations of care for Resident 3. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated the care staff should not be talking over the resident and should be telling the resident what was going on during care to help with distress. Staff 1 and Staff 5 acknowledged that the resident should not be rolled so closely to the edge of the bed, or any attempt made to restrain arms or hands with clothing. Staff 1 indicated additional training was required. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated they would be reviewing proper care of the resident with the staff observed as well as the staff normally assigned to the house. In an additional interview on 12/19/24, Staff 1 indicated they reviewed transfers and resident care at the staff meeting on 12/18/24 as well as working on individual trainings. An additional observation of morning care was completed on 12/19/24 with improvement in some areas of the transfer and provision of care. A draw sheet was utilized, and the resident was adjusted in bed prior to rolling side to side. The need to ensure staff took reasonable precautions to provide appropriate care to ensure the safety and well-being of a dependent resident, during ADL care, was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health Services Director/LPN) and Staff 5 (RCC) on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24. The staff acknowledged the findings. Refer to C 200. All staff will be educated by the ED and HSD on resident rights and dignity, including language,dignity with dining, and privacy/dignity with cares. Staff educated on providing care for resident #3 to minimize unpleasent feelings when providing care and transfers. All staff will receive this education at time of hire, and at least annually.

“Based on observation, interview, and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure a resident was treated with dignity and respect and maintained a safe and homelike environment during ADL care for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#3). Resident 3 experienced distress and abrupt handling during ADL care. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2014 with diagnoses including dementia. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's 11/15/24 service plan, 09/17/24 through 11/26/24 observation notes, physician communications, and incident investigations were completed. The resident was noted to be dependent with all ADLs. The resident required two staff assistance for transfers and dressing and a Hoyer lift for transfers. The resident was nonverbal. The resident’s muscles and limbs were very tight to move, straighten and bend fully. The resident was noted to have anxiety and behaviors with ADL cares due to his/her confusion. Staff were instructed to tell the resident step by step what was occurring during care to help alleviate any distress. Observations of ADL care including incontinence care, bed mobility, Hoyer transfer and dressing were completed between 12/17/24 and 12/19/24. a. The resident was dressed/undressed, had a brief change, cleaned and rolled side to side with minimal to no interaction from staff. Additionally, the resident required a Hoyer lift for transfers out of his/her bed and wheelchair. During several observations, the resident was moved with the lift without interaction from staff or verbal reassurance before or during transfers. Multiple instances of bed mobility showed the resident dangling off the bed, rolled over the edge of the bed with marginal support of torso, turned so far to the right that s/he was close to being on his/her stomach and/or the resident pulled so far to the right while at the edge that s/he was pointed towards the floor. The resident would flail around for something to hold onto and yell. One of these observations the resident’s face was so close to Staff 18’s pant leg and thigh that the resident’s yells were muffled, and his/her hands were unable to move due to the position of the resident’s body. The surveyor instructed staff to adjust the resident’s positioning to keep him/her away from the edge of the bed and to keep his/her face away from clothing, staff legs and bedding. b. The resident was abruptly turned and moved around the bed for care. Multiple occasions the side of the resident’s head was used as a contact point to try to move the resident. Staff were advised by the surveyor not to use the side of the resident’s head as a transfer point. c. The resident’s soiled brief was removed, and the resident left uncovered while additional wipes were located for clean-up. d. The resident was aggressively and abruptly cleaned after a bowel movement. The resident was not told what was happening, not advised wipes might be cold and not prepared for the next bit of care. The resident startled and made sounds when the wipes first touched his/her skin. e. The resident showed signs of distress during care. The resident was calling out and hitting out at staff. The resident’s sweatshirt was pulled up over his/her arms and briefly held in place before the resident pulled an arm free. There were no further attempts to restrain the resident. f. The resident was observed during three meals. Staff provided the resident with his/her pureed diet and thickened liquids. The staff provided bites that were larger than indicated by the service plan, had minimal to no interaction with the resident during the meal, rushed fluid intake and were task oriented rather than person oriented. g. The resident showed signs of pain and discomfort during his/her breakfast meal on 12/18/24. Soon after the resident began crying out a strong odor appeared around the resident. The resident ate less than 25% of his/her meal, would not take any additional bites and was wheeled near the living room and parked. The fecal odor around the resident was very strong. The surveyor informed the MT of the odor around the resident and that it began while the resident was having breakfast. Staff did not assist the resident with incontinence care until approximately 60 minutes after the odor first appeared and approximately 30 minutes after the MT was informed. When Staff 12 (CG) and Staff 18 (CG) transferred the resident to bed, it was determined the resident’s pants were soiled and required changing along with his/her brief. The resident’s pants were forcefully removed, and, in the process, fecal matter was flung about the resident’s bed. The resident required numerous turns and wipes to get all areas sufficiently clean. The resident was distressed throughout the process with some flailing of arms, grabbing at staff and vocalization of sounds. The staff continued to talk over the resident in English and Spanish but rarely to the resident himself/herself. In an interview on 12/18/24, Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 5 (RCC) were provided with information on the observations of care for Resident 3. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated the care staff should not be talking over the resident and should be telling the resident what was going on during care to help with distress. Staff 1 and Staff 5 acknowledged that the resident should not be rolled so closely to the edge of the bed, or any attempt made to restrain arms or hands with clothing. Staff 1 indicated additional training was required. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated they would be reviewing proper care of the resident with the staff observed as well as the staff normally assigned to the house. In an additional interview on 12/19/24, Staff 1 indicated they reviewed transfers and resident care at the staff meeting on 12/18/24 as well as working on individual trainings. An additional meal observation and care observation on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24 showed staff were seated in front of the resident and speaking with him/her about the meal. Smaller bites were offered more slowly, and single sips of fluids were offered one at a time. Staff were interacting with the resident more efficiently during ADL care and ensuring the resident was positioned away from the edge of the bed. The resident showed less distress with this observation of ADL care. The need to ensure staff treated residents with dignity and respect and provided a safe and home like environment when providing care was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (Health Services Director/LPN) and Staff 5 on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24. The staff acknowledged the findings. Refer to C160. All staff will be educated by the ED and HSD on resident rights and dignity, including language,dignity with dining, and privacy/dignity with cares.

“Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed timely and documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#3) who experienced significant changes of condition. Resident 3 experienced continued severe weight changes without intervention. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2014 with diagnoses including dementia. Review of the resident’s service plan dated 11/15/24, observation notes, physician communications, RN notes and weight records dated 09/17/24 through 11/26/24 were completed. The resident required full assistance from staff for all ADL care. The resident required one staff assistance for all food and fluid intake. The resident received a pureed diet and nectar thick liquids for all snacks and meals. Multiple daily observations of the resident between 11/17/24 and 11/19/24 showed the resident up in his/her wheelchair and reclined back approximately 45 degrees. The resident was dependent for all care. Staff would assist the resident to his/her wheelchair after providing ADL care. The resident was observed during two breakfast meals, two lunch meals and part of a dinner meal. The resident did not initiate any intake on his/her own. Staff provided total assistance with all intakes. The resident received pureed food in a three-compartment plate with raised sides. The staff were observed to offer the resident bites without much interaction. Fluids were alternated with bites of food. The resident took single sips from the cups offered. The resident did not appear able to complete successive sips. The resident ate between 25% and 50% of the meals offered. One meal staff reported the resident ate 100%, the dishes were cleared before an observation was made. The resident was not observed to receive snacks in the morning or afternoon during survey. The resident was brought to breakfast later in the morning, not long before the scheduled snack time, and provided his/her breakfast meal. Weight records reviewed from 07/22/24 through 12/19/24 were reviewed and showed the following: * A weight of 133.2 pounds on 07/22/24 and a weight of 126.2 pounds on 08/19/24. This constituted a seven pound, 5.25% severe weight loss in one month. * A weight of 133 pounds on 09/23/24 and a weight of 123 pounds on 10/21/24. This constituted a 10 pound, 7.5% severe weight loss in one month. * A weight of 123 pounds on 10/21/24 and a weight of 130 pounds on 11/04/24. This constituted a seven pound, 5.69% severe increase in less than two weeks. * The resident’s weight on 11/25/24 was documented as 125.6 pounds. * A current weight was requested from the facility. The resident’s weight on 12/19/24 was observed and documented as 118.2 pounds. This constituted a 7.4 pound, 5.89% severe loss from the last recorded weight. The resident received Boost health shakes which were held and no longer administered on 09/23/24 due to swallowing concerns related to the thin consistency. The resident was noted to be placed on weekly weights prior to June 2024. The weekly weights were discontinued on 11/25/24. In interviews on 12/17/24 and 12/18/24, Staff 9 (CG), Staff 18 (CG) and Staff 22 (CG) indicated the resident required full staff assistance to eat. The resident could not feed himself/herself due to cognition, confusion, and physical limitations. The staff indicated the resident did not generally have very good intake, but it did vary. Staff 22 indicated the resident ate 100% of his/her lunch meal on 12/18/24 but had not eaten well for breakfast. In an interview on 12/19/24, Staff 4 (Regional Director of Health Services) indicated the current RN was not made aware of the resident’s changes in weight. Reports were normally pulled near the beginning of the month for monthly weight review. Staff 4 stated Staff 2 (Health Services Director/LPN) would be responsible for pulling additional reports for the weekly weights, checking weights and reporting any issues or significant changes to the current facility RN. In an interview on 12/19/24, Staff 3 (RN) indicated she was not aware of the significant changes in the resident’s weights over the last few months. The reports she had reviewed looked only at the beginning of the month so other weights during the month were not on her radar. Staff 3 assisted to get a current weight on the resident, restarted weekly weights and would look into nutritional supplements once she was able to get a baseline for the resident’s weight. Staff 3 wanted to observe the weights as they were completed to ensure proper technique and calculations were being completed. The resident was not interviewable due to cognitive impairment and non-verbal status. The facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed for the severe weight changes from July 2024 to November 2024 which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 3, Staff 4 and Staff 5 (RCC) on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24. The staff acknowledged the findings. ED and HSD will take the Change of Condition courses on NurseLearn. RN assessed resident #3 on 12/19/2024 and weekly after that with additional monitoring. The RDHS will educate the ED and HSD on referral of change of conditions to the RN. Direct care staff will be inserviced by the ED/HSD on reporting change of condition. ED, HSD and RCC's will review the observation notes at least 5 days per week, any short term or significant change of condition will be referred to the RN by the HSD and/or ED and documentation will reflect that referral.

“Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure reasonable precautions were implemented to ensure a resident received sufficient assistance with bed mobility, during incontinent care, to maintain their health and safety for 1 of 1 sampled resident who was dependent for care (#3). Resident 3 expressed distress and anxiety during care related to how staff were moving the resident in bed. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2014 with diagnoses including dementia. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's 11/15/24 service plan, 09/17/24 through 11/26/24 observation notes, physician communications, and incident investigations were completed. The resident was noted to be dependent with all ADLs. The resident required two staff assistance for transfers and dressing and a Hoyer lift for transfers. The resident was nonverbal. The resident’s muscles and limbs were very tight to move, straighten and bend fully. The resident was noted to have anxiety and behaviors with ADL cares due to his/her confusion. Staff were instructed to tell the resident step by step what was occurring during care to help alleviate any distress. Observations of ADL care including incontinent care, bed mobility, Hoyer transfer and dressing were completed between 12/17/24 and 12/19/24 and showed the following: Afternoon incontinence care on 12/17/24: * The resident was assisted by two staff and a Hoyer from his/her wheelchair into his/her bed. * The resident required incontinence care and a clothing change during the observation. * The resident was turned side to side to remove and replace his/her brief, provide cleaning and change the resident’s pants. * The resident was positioned too close to the outer edge of the mattress during multiple rolls side to side. * On two occasions Staff 18 (CG) put a hand on the side of the resident’s head and used his/her head as leverage to help turn the resident, while the other hand was at the resident’s hip. Staff 18 was told by Staff 9 (CG) and by the surveyor not to use the resident’s head to help turn him/her. * When rolled to the right, the resident’s entire upper body and arms were observed hanging off the bed. Staff were standing on the right side of the bed near the resident’s waist. The resident’s torso was dangling off the bed when staff were asked by the surveyor, to adjust the resident. * When the resident was rolled to the right while lying on the very outer edge of the bed, s/he began to yell out, grab at staff and/or flail his/her arms. * The resident was not placed in the center of the bed, or his/her placement readjusted prior to providing care or rolling. Start of day dressing, incontinence care and mid-morning incontinence care on 12/18/24: * The resident was dressed for the day and his/her brief changed as part of his/her morning routine. * The resident’s position in bed was not checked or adjusted prior to rolling the resident for clothing and brief changes. * The resident was rolled to the left side with his/her head landing extremely close to the wall. The resident’s head did not contact the wall. The resident was making noises, yelling and moaning during care. The resident was not told what was occurring before it happened. * The resident was rolled to the right side but was extremely close to the edge. The resident showed signs of distress when turned to the right, was unstable and grabbing at staff clothing and bodies. The resident was heard moaning, yelling, and observed flailing his/her arms. * The resident was rolled so far to the right s/he was partially on his/her stomach. The resident’s face was pressed closely to the staff’s pants/leg and his/her yelling/crying out was muffled. * Staff 12 and 18 (CGs) were again asked by the surveyor to readjust the resident’s position to keep him/her away from the edge when rolling and to ensure the resident’s face was not up against the bedding or staff clothing/legs. * The side of the resident’s head was used to assist in a roll as previously observed on 12/17/24. Additionally, the back of the resident’s head/upper neck was used to help lift the resident up to adjust his/her shirt placement. * Staff 18 (CG) was told by the surveyor not to use the side of the resident’s head or the back of his/her neck for any position adjustments as it could cause injury. * Neither of the two staff taking care of the resident provided him/her information on what was occurring with care or spoke to the resident to try and soothe him/her when showing signs of distress and being upset during most of the care. * While agitated and calling out, the resident was grabbing at staff, his/her brief and putting hands near peri area. Staff 12 (CG) was observed to pull the residents sweatshirt up over the resident’s now crossed arms and place her own hand on top of the sweatshirt over the resident’s arms. The resident pulled his/her arms free, and staff did not attempt a similar move during the remainder of care. In an interview on 12/18/24, Staff 12 and Staff 18 indicated they understood the resident should be positioned away from the edge of the bed before rolling. In an interview on 12/18/24, Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 5 (RCC) were provided with information on the observations of care for Resident 3. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated the care staff should not be talking over the resident and should be telling the resident what was going on during care to help with distress. Staff 1 and Staff 5 acknowledged that the resident should not be rolled so closely to the edge of the bed, or any attempt made to restrain arms or hands with clothing. Staff 1 indicated additional training was required. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated they would be reviewing proper care of the resident with the staff observed as well as the staff normally assigned to the house. In an additional interview on 12/19/24, Staff 1 indicated they reviewed transfers and resident care at the staff meeting on 12/18/24 as well as working on individual trainings. An additional observation of morning care was completed on 12/19/24 with improvement in some areas of the transfer and provision of care. A draw sheet was utilized, and the resident was adjusted in bed prior to rolling side to side. The need to ensure staff took reasonable precautions to provide appropriate care to ensure the safety and well-being of a dependent resident, during ADL care, was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health Services Director/LPN) and Staff 5 (RCC) on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24. The staff acknowledged the findings. Refer to C 200. All staff will be educated by the ED and HSD on resident rights and dignity, including language,dignity with dining, and privacy/dignity with cares.

“Based on observation, interview, and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure a resident was treated with dignity and respect and maintained a safe and homelike environment during ADL care for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#3). Resident 3 experienced distress and abrupt handling during ADL care. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2014 with diagnoses including dementia. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's 11/15/24 service plan, 09/17/24 through 11/26/24 observation notes, physician communications, and incident investigations were completed. The resident was noted to be dependent with all ADLs. The resident required two staff assistance for transfers and dressing and a Hoyer lift for transfers. The resident was nonverbal. The resident’s muscles and limbs were very tight to move, straighten and bend fully. The resident was noted to have anxiety and behaviors with ADL cares due to his/her confusion. Staff were instructed to tell the resident step by step what was occurring during care to help alleviate any distress. Observations of ADL care including incontinence care, bed mobility, Hoyer transfer and dressing were completed between 12/17/24 and 12/19/24. a. The resident was dressed/undressed, had a brief change, cleaned and rolled side to side with minimal to no interaction from staff. Additionally, the resident required a Hoyer lift for transfers out of his/her bed and wheelchair. During several observations, the resident was moved with the lift without interaction from staff or verbal reassurance before or during transfers. Multiple instances of bed mobility showed the resident dangling off the bed, rolled over the edge of the bed with marginal support of torso, turned so far to the right that s/he was close to being on his/her stomach and/or the resident pulled so far to the right while at the edge that s/he was pointed towards the floor. The resident would flail around for something to hold onto and yell. One of these observations the resident’s face was so close to Staff 18’s pant leg and thigh that the resident’s yells were muffled, and his/her hands were unable to move due to the position of the resident’s body. The surveyor instructed staff to adjust the resident’s positioning to keep him/her away from the edge of the bed and to keep his/her face away from clothing, staff legs and bedding. b. The resident was abruptly turned and moved around the bed for care. Multiple occasions the side of the resident’s head was used as a contact point to try to move the resident. Staff were advised by the surveyor not to use the side of the resident’s head as a transfer point. c. The resident’s soiled brief was removed, and the resident left uncovered while additional wipes were located for clean-up. d. The resident was aggressively and abruptly cleaned after a bowel movement. The resident was not told what was happening, not advised wipes might be cold and not prepared for the next bit of care. The resident startled and made sounds when the wipes first touched his/her skin. e. The resident showed signs of distress during care. The resident was calling out and hitting out at staff. The resident’s sweatshirt was pulled up over his/her arms and briefly held in place before the resident pulled an arm free. There were no further attempts to restrain the resident. f. The resident was observed during three meals. Staff provided the resident with his/her pureed diet and thickened liquids. The staff provided bites that were larger than indicated by the service plan, had minimal to no interaction with the resident during the meal, rushed fluid intake and were task oriented rather than person oriented. g. The resident showed signs of pain and discomfort during his/her breakfast meal on 12/18/24. Soon after the resident began crying out a strong odor appeared around the resident. The resident ate less than 25% of his/her meal, would not take any additional bites and was wheeled near the living room and parked. The fecal odor around the resident was very strong. The surveyor informed the MT of the odor around the resident and that it began while the resident was having breakfast. Staff did not assist the resident with incontinence care until approximately 60 minutes after the odor first appeared and approximately 30 minutes after the MT was informed. When Staff 12 (CG) and Staff 18 (CG) transferred the resident to bed, it was determined the resident’s pants were soiled and required changing along with his/her brief. The resident’s pants were forcefully removed, and, in the process, fecal matter was flung about the resident’s bed. The resident required numerous turns and wipes to get all areas sufficiently clean. The resident was distressed throughout the process with some flailing of arms, grabbing at staff and vocalization of sounds. The staff continued to talk over the resident in English and Spanish but rarely to the resident himself/herself. In an interview on 12/18/24, Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 5 (RCC) were provided with information on the observations of care for Resident 3. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated the care staff should not be talking over the resident and should be telling the resident what was going on during care to help with distress. Staff 1 and Staff 5 acknowledged that the resident should not be rolled so closely to the edge of the bed, or any attempt made to restrain arms or hands with clothing. Staff 1 indicated additional training was required. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated they would be reviewing proper care of the resident with the staff observed as well as the staff normally assigned to the house. In an additional interview on 12/19/24, Staff 1 indicated they reviewed transfers and resident care at the staff meeting on 12/18/24 as well as working on individual trainings. An additional meal observation and care observation on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24 showed staff were seated in front of the resident and speaking with him/her about the meal. Smaller bites were offered more slowly, and single sips of fluids were offered one at a time. Staff were interacting with the resident more efficiently during ADL care and ensuring the resident was positioned away from the edge of the bed. The resident showed less distress with this observation of ADL care. The need to ensure staff treated residents with dignity and respect and provided a safe and home like environment when providing care was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (Health Services Director/LPN) and Staff 5 on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24. The staff acknowledged the findings. Refer to C160. All staff will be educated by the ED and HSD on resident rights and dignity, including language,dignity with dining, and privacy/dignity with cares. ED educated the caregivers on resident rights and providing personal care with dignity on 12/18/2025 All staff will receive this education at time of hire and at least annually. ED will ensure the corrections are completed and monitored. OAR 411-054-0027 (1) Resident Rights and Protection - General (1) GENERAL RIGHTS. The facility must implement a residents' Bill of Rights.

“Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed timely and documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#3) who experienced significant changes of condition. Resident 3 experienced continued severe weight changes without intervention. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2014 with diagnoses including dementia. Review of the resident’s service plan dated 11/15/24, observation notes, physician communications, RN notes and weight records dated 09/17/24 through 11/26/24 were completed. The resident required full assistance from staff for all ADL care. The resident required one staff assistance for all food and fluid intake. The resident received a pureed diet and nectar thick liquids for all snacks and meals. Multiple daily observations of the resident between 11/17/24 and 11/19/24 showed the resident up in his/her wheelchair and reclined back approximately 45 degrees. The resident was dependent for all care. Staff would assist the resident to his/her wheelchair after providing ADL care. The resident was observed during two breakfast meals, two lunch meals and part of a dinner meal. The resident did not initiate any intake on his/her own. Staff provided total assistance with all intakes. The resident received pureed food in a three-compartment plate with raised sides. The staff were observed to offer the resident bites without much interaction. Fluids were alternated with bites of food. The resident took single sips from the cups offered. The resident did not appear able to complete successive sips. The resident ate between 25% and 50% of the meals offered. One meal staff reported the resident ate 100%, the dishes were cleared before an observation was made. The resident was not observed to receive snacks in the morning or afternoon during survey. The resident was brought to breakfast later in the morning, not long before the scheduled snack time, and provided his/her breakfast meal. Weight records reviewed from 07/22/24 through 12/19/24 were reviewed and showed the following: * A weight of 133.2 pounds on 07/22/24 and a weight of 126.2 pounds on 08/19/24. This constituted a seven pound, 5.25% severe weight loss in one month. * A weight of 133 pounds on 09/23/24 and a weight of 123 pounds on 10/21/24. This constituted a 10 pound, 7.5% severe weight loss in one month. * A weight of 123 pounds on 10/21/24 and a weight of 130 pounds on 11/04/24. This constituted a seven pound, 5.69% severe increase in less than two weeks. * The resident’s weight on 11/25/24 was documented as 125.6 pounds. * A current weight was requested from the facility. The resident’s weight on 12/19/24 was observed and documented as 118.2 pounds. This constituted a 7.4 pound, 5.89% severe loss from the last recorded weight. The resident received Boost health shakes which were held and no longer administered on 09/23/24 due to swallowing concerns related to the thin consistency. The resident was noted to be placed on weekly weights prior to June 2024. The weekly weights were discontinued on 11/25/24. In interviews on 12/17/24 and 12/18/24, Staff 9 (CG), Staff 18 (CG) and Staff 22 (CG) indicated the resident required full staff assistance to eat. The resident could not feed himself/herself due to cognition, confusion, and physical limitations. The staff indicated the resident did not generally have very good intake, but it did vary. Staff 22 indicated the resident ate 100% of his/her lunch meal on 12/18/24 but had not eaten well for breakfast. In an interview on 12/19/24, Staff 4 (Regional Director of Health Services) indicated the current RN was not made aware of the resident’s changes in weight. Reports were normally pulled near the beginning of the month for monthly weight review. Staff 4 stated Staff 2 (Health Services Director/LPN) would be responsible for pulling additional reports for the weekly weights, checking weights and reporting any issues or significant changes to the current facility RN. In an interview on 12/19/24, Staff 3 (RN) indicated she was not aware of the significant changes in the resident’s weights over the last few months. The reports she had reviewed looked only at the beginning of the month so other weights during the month were not on her radar. Staff 3 assisted to get a current weight on the resident, restarted weekly weights and would look into nutritional supplements once she was able to get a baseline for the resident’s weight. Staff 3 wanted to observe the weights as they were completed to ensure proper technique and calculations were being completed. The resident was not interviewable due to cognitive impairment and non-verbal status. The facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed for the severe weight changes from July 2024 to November 2024 which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 3, Staff 4 and Staff 5 (RCC) on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24. The staff acknowledged the findings. ED and HSD will take the Change of Condition courses on NurseLearn. RN assessed resident #3 on 12/19/2024 and weekly after that with additional monitoring. The RDHS will educate the ED and HSD on referral of change of conditions to the RN. Direct care staff will be inserviced by the ED/HSD on reporting change of condition. ED, HSD and RCC's will review the observation notes at least 5 days per week, any short term or significant change of condition will be referred to the RN by the HSD and/or ED and documentation will reflect that referral.

Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's 11/15/24 service plan, 09/17/24 through 11/26/24 observation notes, physician communications, and incident investigations were completed. The resident was noted to be dependent with all ADLs. The resident required two staff assistance for transfers and dressing and a Hoyer lift for transfers. The resident was nonverbal. The resident’s muscles and limbs were very tight to move, straighten and bend fully. The resident was noted to have anxiety and behaviors with ADL cares due to his/her confusion. Staff were instructed to tell the resident step by step what was occurring during care to help alleviate any distress. Observations of ADL care including incontinent care, bed mobility, Hoyer transfer and dressing were completed between 12/17/24 and 12/19/24 and showed the following: Afternoon incontinence care on 12/17/24: * The resident was assisted by two staff and a Hoyer from his/her wheelchair into his/her bed. * The resident required incontinence care and a clothing change during the observation. * The resident was turned side to side to remove and replace his/her brief, provide cleaning and change the resident’s pants. * The resident was positioned too close to the outer edge of the mattress during multiple rolls side to side. * On two occasions Staff 18 (CG) put a hand on the side of the resident’s head and used his/her head as leverage to help turn the resident, while the other hand was at the resident’s hip. Staff 18 was told by Staff 9 (CG) and by the surveyor not to use the resident’s head to help turn him/her. * When rolled to the right, the resident’s entire upper body and arms were observed hanging off the bed.

The resident showed signs of distress when turned to the right, was unstable and grabbing at staff clothing and bodies. The resident was heard moaning, yelling, and observed flailing his/her arms. * The resident was rolled so far to the right s/he was partially on his/her stomach. The resident’s face was pressed closely to the staff’s pants/leg and his/her yelling/crying out was muffled. * Staff 12 and 18 (CGs) were again asked by the surveyor to readjust the resident’s position to keep him/her away from the edge when rolling and to ensure the resident’s face was not up against the bedding or staff clothing/legs. * The side of the resident’s head was used to assist in a roll as previously observed on 12/17/24. Additionally, the back of the resident’s head/upper neck was used to help lift the resident up to adjust his/her shirt placement. * Staff 18 (CG) was told by the surveyor not to use the side of the resident’s head or the back of his/her neck for any position adjustments as it could cause injury. * Neither of the two staff taking care of the resident provided him/her information on what was occurring with care or spoke to the resident to try and soothe him/her when showing signs of distress and being upset during most of the care. * While agitated and calling out, the resident was grabbing at staff, his/her brief and putting hands near peri area.

In an interview on 12/18/24, Staff 12 and Staff 18 indicated they understood the resident should be positioned away from the edge of the bed before rolling. In an interview on 12/18/24, Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 5 (RCC) were provided with information on the observations of care for Resident 3. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated the care staff should not be talking over the resident and should be telling the resident what was going on during care to help with distress. Staff 1 and Staff 5 acknowledged that the resident should not be rolled so closely to the edge of the bed, or any attempt made to restrain arms or hands with clothing. Staff 1 indicated additional training was required. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated they would be reviewing proper care of the resident with the staff observed as well as the staff normally assigned to the house. In an additional interview on 12/19/24, Staff 1 indicated they reviewed transfers and resident care at the staff meeting on 12/18/24 as well as working on individual trainings. An additional observation of morning care was completed on 12/19/24 with improvement in some areas of the transfer and provision of care. A draw sheet was utilized, and the resident was adjusted in bed prior to rolling side to side. The need to ensure staff took reasonable precautions to provide appropriate care to ensure the safety and well-being of a dependent resident, during ADL care, was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health Services Director/LPN) and Staff 5 (RCC) on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24.

“Based on observation, interview, and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure a resident was treated with dignity and respect and maintained a safe and homelike environment during ADL care for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#3). Resident 3 experienced distress and abrupt handling during ADL care. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2014 with diagnoses including dementia. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's 11/15/24 service plan, 09/17/24 through 11/26/24 observation notes, physician communications, and incident investigations were completed. The resident was noted to be dependent with all ADLs. The resident required two staff assistance for transfers and dressing and a Hoyer lift for transfers. The resident was nonverbal. The resident’s muscles and limbs were very tight to move, straighten and bend fully. The resident was noted to have anxiety and behaviors with ADL cares due to his/her confusion. Staff were instructed to tell the resident step by step what was occurring during care to help alleviate any distress. Observations of ADL care including incontinence care, bed mobility, Hoyer transfer and dressing were completed between 12/17/24 and 12/19/24. a. The resident was dressed/undressed, had a brief change, cleaned and rolled side to side with minimal to no interaction from staff. Additionally, the resident required a Hoyer lift for transfers out of his/her bed and wheelchair. During several observations, the resident was moved with the lift without interaction from staff or verbal reassurance before or during transfers. Multiple instances of bed mobility showed the resident dangling off the bed, rolled over the edge of the bed with marginal support of torso, turned so far to the right that s/he was close to being on his/her stomach and/or the resident pulled so far to the right while at the edge that s/he was pointed towards the floor. The resident would flail around for something to hold onto and yell. One of these observations the resident’s face was so close to Staff 18’s pant leg and thigh that the resident’s yells were muffled, and his/her hands were unable to move due to the position of the resident’s body. The surveyor instructed staff to adjust the resident’s positioning to keep him/her away from the edge of the bed and to keep his/her face away from clothing, staff legs and bedding. b. The resident was abruptly turned and moved around the bed for care. Multiple occasions the side of the resident’s head was used as a contact point to try to move the resident. Staff were advised by the surveyor not to use the side of the resident’s head as a transfer point. c. The resident’s soiled brief was removed, and the resident left uncovered while additional wipes were located for clean-up. d. The resident was aggressively and abruptly cleaned after a bowel movement. The resident was not told what was happening, not advised wipes might be cold and not prepared for the next bit of care. The resident startled and made sounds when the wipes first touched his/her skin. e. The resident showed signs of distress during care. The resident was calling out and hitting out at staff. The resident’s sweatshirt was pulled up over his/her arms and briefly held in place before the resident pulled an arm free. There were no further attempts to restrain the resident. f. The resident was observed during three meals. Staff provided the resident with his/her pureed diet and thickened liquids. The staff provided bites that were larger than indicated by the service plan, had minimal to no interaction with the resident during the meal, rushed fluid intake and were task oriented rather than person oriented. g. The resident showed signs of pain and discomfort during his/her breakfast meal on 12/18/24. Soon after the resident began crying out a strong odor appeared around the resident. The resident ate less than 25% of his/her meal, would not take any additional bites and was wheeled near the living room and parked. The fecal odor around the resident was very strong. The surveyor informed the MT of the odor around the resident and that it began while the resident was having breakfast. Staff did not assist the resident with incontinence care until approximately 60 minutes after the odor first appeared and approximately 30 minutes after the MT was informed. When Staff 12 (CG) and Staff 18 (CG) transferred the resident to bed, it was determined the resident’s pants were soiled and required changing along with his/her brief. The resident’s pants were forcefully removed, and, in the process, fecal matter was flung about the resident’s bed. The resident required numerous turns and wipes to get all areas sufficiently clean. The resident was distressed throughout the process with some flailing of arms, grabbing at staff and vocalization of sounds. The staff continued to talk over the resident in English and Spanish but rarely to the resident himself/herself. In an interview on 12/18/24, Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 5 (RCC) were provided with information on the observations of care for Resident 3. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated the care staff should not be talking over the resident and should be telling the resident what was going on during care to help with distress. Staff 1 and Staff 5 acknowledged that the resident should not be rolled so closely to the edge of the bed, or any attempt made to restrain arms or hands with clothing. Staff 1 indicated additional training was required. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated they would be reviewing proper care of the resident with the staff observed as well as the staff normally assigned to the house. In an additional interview on 12/19/24, Staff 1 indicated they reviewed transfers and resident care at the staff meeting on 12/18/24 as well as working on individual trainings. An additional meal observation and care observation on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24 showed staff were seated in front of the resident and speaking with him/her about the meal. Smaller bites were offered more slowly, and single sips of fluids were offered one at a time. Staff were interacting with the resident more efficiently during ADL care and ensuring the resident was positioned away from the edge of the bed. The resident showed less distress with this observation of ADL care. The need to ensure staff treated residents with dignity and respect and provided a safe and home like environment when providing care was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (Health Services Director/LPN) and Staff 5 on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24. The staff acknowledged the findings. Refer to C160. All staff will be educated by the ED and HSD on resident rights and dignity, including language,dignity with dining, and privacy/dignity with cares.

The resident was observed during two breakfast meals, two lunch meals and part of a dinner meal. The resident did not initiate any intake on his/her own. Staff provided total assistance with all intakes. The resident received pureed food in a three-compartment plate with raised sides. The staff were observed to offer the resident bites without much interaction. Fluids were alternated with bites of food. The resident took single sips from the cups offered. The resident did not appear able to complete successive sips. The resident ate between 25% and 50% of the meals offered. One meal staff reported the resident ate 100%, the dishes were cleared before an observation was made. The resident was not observed to receive snacks in the morning or afternoon during survey. The resident was brought to breakfast later in the morning, not long before the scheduled snack time, and provided his/her breakfast meal. Weight records reviewed from 07/22/24 through 12/19/24 were reviewed and showed the following: * A weight of 133.2 pounds on 07/22/24 and a weight of 126.2 pounds on 08/19/24. This constituted a seven pound, 5.25% severe weight loss in one month. * A weight of 133 pounds on 09/23/24 and a weight of 123 pounds on 10/21/24. This constituted a 10 pound, 7.5% severe weight loss in one month. * A weight of 123 pounds on 10/21/24 and a weight of 130 pounds on 11/04/24. This constituted a seven pound, 5.69% severe increase in less than two weeks. * The resident’s weight on 11/25/24 was documented as 125.6 pounds. * A current weight was requested from the facility. The resident’s weight on 12/19/24 was observed and documented as 118.2 pounds. This constituted a 7.4 pound, 5.89% severe loss from the last recorded weight. The resident received Boost health shakes which were held and no longer administered on 09/23/24 due to swallowing concerns related to the thin consistency. The resident was noted to be placed on weekly weights prior to June 2024. The weekly weights were discontinued on 11/25/24. In interviews on 12/17/24 and 12/18/24, Staff 9 (CG), Staff 18 (CG) and Staff 22 (CG) indicated the resident required full staff assistance to eat. The resident could not feed himself/herself due to cognition, confusion, and physical limitations. The staff indicated the resident did not generally have very good intake, but it did vary. Staff 22 indicated the resident ate 100% of his/her lunch meal on 12/18/24 but had not eaten well for breakfast. In an interview on 12/19/24, Staff 4 (Regional Director of Health Services) indicated the current RN was not made aware of the resident’s changes in weight. Reports were normally pulled near the beginning of the month for monthly weight review. Staff 4 stated Staff 2 (Health Services Director/LPN) would be responsible for pulling additional reports for the weekly weights, checking weights and reporting any issues or significant changes to the current facility RN. In an interview on 12/19/24, Staff 3 (RN) indicated she was not aware of the significant changes in the resident’s weights over the last few months. The reports she had reviewed looked only at the beginning of the month so other weights during the month were not on her radar. Staff 3 assisted to get a current weight on the resident, restarted weekly weights and would look into nutritional supplements once she was able to get a baseline for the resident’s weight. Staff 3 wanted to observe the weights as they were completed to ensure proper technique and calculations were being completed. The resident was not interviewable due to cognitive impairment and non-verbal status. The facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed for the severe weight changes from July 2024 to November 2024 which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 3, Staff 4 and Staff 5 (RCC) on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24. The staff acknowledged the findings. ED and HSD will take the Change of Condition courses on NurseLearn. RN assessed resident #3 on 12/19/2024 and weekly after that with additional monitoring. The RDHS will educate the ED and HSD on referral of change of conditions to the RN. Direct care staff will be inserviced by the ED/HSD on reporting change of condition. ED, HSD and RCC's will review the observation notes at least 5 days per week, any short term or significant change of condition will be referred to the RN by the HSD and/or ED and documentation will reflect that referral.

Resident 3 expressed distress and anxiety during care related to how staff were moving the resident in bed. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2014 with diagnoses including dementia. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's 11/15/24 service plan, 09/17/24 through 11/26/24 observation notes, physician communications, and incident investigations were completed. The resident was noted to be dependent with all ADLs. The resident required two staff assistance for transfers and dressing and a Hoyer lift for transfers. The resident was nonverbal. The resident’s muscles and limbs were very tight to move, straighten and bend fully. The resident was noted to have anxiety and behaviors with ADL cares due to his/her confusion. Staff were instructed to tell the resident step by step what was occurring during care to help alleviate any distress. Observations of ADL care including incontinent care, bed mobility, Hoyer transfer and dressing were completed between 12/17/24 and 12/19/24 and showed the following: Afternoon incontinence care on 12/17/24: * The resident was assisted by two staff and a Hoyer from his/her wheelchair into his/her bed. * The resident required incontinence care and a clothing change during the observation. * The resident was turned side to side to remove and replace his/her brief, provide cleaning and change the resident’s pants. * The resident was positioned too close to the outer edge of the mattress during multiple rolls side to side. * On two occasions Staff 18 (CG) put a hand on the side of the resident’s head and used his/her head as leverage to help turn the resident, while the other hand was at the resident’s hip. Staff 18 was told by Staff 9 (CG) and by the surveyor not to use the resident’s head to help turn him/her. * When rolled to the right, the resident’s entire upper body and arms were observed hanging off the bed. Staff were standing on the right side of the bed near the resident’s waist. The resident’s torso was dangling off the bed when staff were asked by the surveyor, to adjust the resident. * When the resident was rolled to the right while lying on the very outer edge of the bed, s/he began to yell out, grab at staff and/or flail his/her arms. * The resident was not placed in the center of the bed, or his/her placement readjusted prior to providing care or rolling. Start of day dressing, incontinence care and mid-morning incontinence care on 12/18/24: * The resident was dressed for the day and his/her brief changed as part of his/her morning routine. * The resident’s position in bed was not checked or adjusted prior to rolling the resident for clothing and brief changes. * The resident was rolled to the left side with his/her head landing extremely close to the wall. The resident’s head did not contact the wall. The resident was making noises, yelling and moaning during care. The resident was not told what was occurring before it happened. * The resident was rolled to the right side but was extremely close to the edge. The resident showed signs of distress when turned to the right, was unstable and grabbing at staff clothing and bodies. The resident was heard moaning, yelling, and observed flailing his/her arms. * The resident was rolled so far to the right s/he was partially on his/her stomach. The resident’s face was pressed closely to the staff’s pants/leg and his/her yelling/crying out was muffled. * Staff 12 and 18 (CGs) were again asked by the surveyor to readjust the resident’s position to keep him/her away from the edge when rolling and to ensure the resident’s face was not up against the bedding or staff clothing/legs. * The side of the resident’s head was used to assist in a roll as previously observed on 12/17/24. Additionally, the back of the resident’s head/upper neck was used to help lift the resident up to adjust his/her shirt placement. * Staff 18 (CG) was told by the surveyor not to use the side of the resident’s head or the back of his/her neck for any position adjustments as it could cause injury. * Neither of the two staff taking care of the resident provided him/her information on what was occurring with care or spoke to the resident to try and soothe him/her when showing signs of distress and being upset during most of the care. * While agitated and calling out, the resident was grabbing at staff, his/her brief and putting hands near peri area. Staff 12 (CG) was observed to pull the residents sweatshirt up over the resident’s now crossed arms and place her own hand on top of the sweatshirt over the resident’s arms. The resident pulled his/her arms free, and staff did not attempt a similar move during the remainder of care. In an interview on 12/18/24, Staff 12 and Staff 18 indicated they understood the resident should be positioned away from the edge of the bed before rolling. In an interview on 12/18/24, Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 5 (RCC) were provided with information on the observations of care for Resident 3. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated the care staff should not be talking over the resident and should be telling the resident what was going on during care to help with distress. Staff 1 and Staff 5 acknowledged that the resident should not be rolled so closely to the edge of the bed, or any attempt made to restrain arms or hands with clothing. Staff 1 indicated additional training was required. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated they would be reviewing proper care of the resident with the staff observed as well as the staff normally assigned to the house. In an additional interview on 12/19/24, Staff 1 indicated they reviewed transfers and resident care at the staff meeting on 12/18/24 as well as working on individual trainings. An additional observation of morning care was completed on 12/19/24 with improvement in some areas of the transfer and provision of care. A draw sheet was utilized, and the resident was adjusted in bed prior to rolling side to side. The need to ensure staff took reasonable precautions to provide appropriate care to ensure the safety and well-being of a dependent resident, during ADL care, was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 2 (Health Services Director/LPN) and Staff 5 (RCC) on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24.

Resident 3 experienced distress and abrupt handling during ADL care. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2014 with diagnoses including dementia. Observations of the resident, interviews with staff, and review of the resident's 11/15/24 service plan, 09/17/24 through 11/26/24 observation notes, physician communications, and incident investigations were completed. The resident was noted to be dependent with all ADLs. The resident required two staff assistance for transfers and dressing and a Hoyer lift for transfers. The resident was nonverbal. The resident’s muscles and limbs were very tight to move, straighten and bend fully. The resident was noted to have anxiety and behaviors with ADL cares due to his/her confusion. Staff were instructed to tell the resident step by step what was occurring during care to help alleviate any distress. Observations of ADL care including incontinence care, bed mobility, Hoyer transfer and dressing were completed between 12/17/24 and 12/19/24. a. The resident was dressed/undressed, had a brief change, cleaned and rolled side to side with minimal to no interaction from staff. Additionally, the resident required a Hoyer lift for transfers out of his/her bed and wheelchair. During several observations, the resident was moved with the lift without interaction from staff or verbal reassurance before or during transfers. Multiple instances of bed mobility showed the resident dangling off the bed, rolled over the edge of the bed with marginal support of torso, turned so far to the right that s/he was close to being on his/her stomach and/or the resident pulled so far to the right while at the edge that s/he was pointed towards the floor. The resident would flail around for something to hold onto and yell. One of these observations the resident’s face was so close to Staff 18’s pant leg and thigh that the resident’s yells were muffled, and his/her hands were unable to move due to the position of the resident’s body. The surveyor instructed staff to adjust the resident’s positioning to keep him/her away from the edge of the bed and to keep his/her face away from clothing, staff legs and bedding. b. The resident was abruptly turned and moved around the bed for care. Multiple occasions the side of the resident’s head was used as a contact point to try to move the resident. Staff were advised by the surveyor not to use the side of the resident’s head as a transfer point. c. The resident’s soiled brief was removed, and the resident left uncovered while additional wipes were located for clean-up. d. The resident was aggressively and abruptly cleaned after a bowel movement. The resident was not told what was happening, not advised wipes might be cold and not prepared for the next bit of care. The resident startled and made sounds when the wipes first touched his/her skin. e. The resident showed signs of distress during care. The resident was calling out and hitting out at staff. The resident’s sweatshirt was pulled up over his/her arms and briefly held in place before the resident pulled an arm free. There were no further attempts to restrain the resident. f. The resident was observed during three meals. Staff provided the resident with his/her pureed diet and thickened liquids. The staff provided bites that were larger than indicated by the service plan, had minimal to no interaction with the resident during the meal, rushed fluid intake and were task oriented rather than person oriented. g. The resident showed signs of pain and discomfort during his/her breakfast meal on 12/18/24. Soon after the resident began crying out a strong odor appeared around the resident. The resident ate less than 25% of his/her meal, would not take any additional bites and was wheeled near the living room and parked. The fecal odor around the resident was very strong. The surveyor informed the MT of the odor around the resident and that it began while the resident was having breakfast. Staff did not assist the resident with incontinence care until approximately 60 minutes after the odor first appeared and approximately 30 minutes after the MT was informed. When Staff 12 (CG) and Staff 18 (CG) transferred the resident to bed, it was determined the resident’s pants were soiled and required changing along with his/her brief. The resident’s pants were forcefully removed, and, in the process, fecal matter was flung about the resident’s bed. The resident required numerous turns and wipes to get all areas sufficiently clean. The resident was distressed throughout the process with some flailing of arms, grabbing at staff and vocalization of sounds. The staff continued to talk over the resident in English and Spanish but rarely to the resident himself/herself. In an interview on 12/18/24, Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 5 (RCC) were provided with information on the observations of care for Resident 3. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated the care staff should not be talking over the resident and should be telling the resident what was going on during care to help with distress. Staff 1 and Staff 5 acknowledged that the resident should not be rolled so closely to the edge of the bed, or any attempt made to restrain arms or hands with clothing. Staff 1 indicated additional training was required. Staff 1 and Staff 5 indicated they would be reviewing proper care of the resident with the staff observed as well as the staff normally assigned to the house. In an additional interview on 12/19/24, Staff 1 indicated they reviewed transfers and resident care at the staff meeting on 12/18/24 as well as working on individual trainings. An additional meal observation and care observation on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24 showed staff were seated in front of the resident and speaking with him/her about the meal. Smaller bites were offered more slowly, and single sips of fluids were offered one at a time. Staff were interacting with the resident more efficiently during ADL care and ensuring the resident was positioned away from the edge of the bed. The resident showed less distress with this observation of ADL care. The need to ensure staff treated residents with dignity and respect and provided a safe and home like environment when providing care was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2 (Health Services Director/LPN) and Staff 5 on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24. The staff acknowledged the findings. Refer to C160. All staff will be educated by the ED and HSD on resident rights and dignity, including language,dignity with dining, and privacy/dignity with cares. ED educated the caregivers on resident rights and providing personal care with dignity on 12/18/2025 All staff will receive this education at time of hire and at least annually. ED will ensure the corrections are completed and monitored. OAR 411-054-0027 (1) Resident Rights and Protection - General (1) GENERAL RIGHTS. The facility must implement a residents' Bill of Rights. Each resident and the resident's designated representative, if appropriate, must be given a copy of the resident's rights and responsibilities before moving into the facility. The Bill of Rights must state that residents have the right: (a) To be treated with dignity and respect. (b) To be given informed choice and opportunity to select or refuse service and to accept responsibility for the consequences. (c) To be given informed consent before any nontherapeutic examination, observation or treatment is provided. (d) To participate in the development of their initial service plan and any revisions or updates at the time those changes are made. (e) To receive information about the method for evaluating their service needs and assessing co Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to report incidents of abuse to the local Seniors and People with Disabilities (SPD) office and failed to report injuries including injuries of unknown cause as suspected abuse to the local SPD office unless an immediate facility investigation reasonably concluded and documented the injuries were not the result of abuse for 4 of 5 sampled residents (#s 1, 3, 4 and 7) whose records 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 residents' needs and preferences, provided clear direction to staff regarding the delivery of services, or was implemented for 6 of 6 sampled residents (#s 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7) 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 ensure actions or interventions were determined, documented, and communicated with staff on all shifts for changes of condition and failed to ensure changes were monitored, with progress noted at least weekly until resolution, and/or referred to the facility nurse for a significant change of condition for 6 of 6 sampled residents (#1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7) who experienced changes of condition. Findings include, but are not limited to: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed timely and documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#3) who experienced significant changes of condition. Resident 3 experienced continued severe weight changes without intervention. Findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 01/2014 with diagnoses including dementia. Review of the resident’s service plan dated 11/15/24, observation notes, physician communications, RN notes and weight records dated 09/17/24 through 11/26/24 were completed. The resident required full assistance from staff for all ADL care. The resident required one staff assistance for all food and fluid intake. The resident received a pureed diet and nectar thick liquids for all snacks and meals. Multiple daily observations of the resident between 11/17/24 and 11/19/24 showed the resident up in his/her wheelchair and reclined back approximately 45 degrees. The resident was dependent for all care. Staff would assist the resident to his/her wheelchair after providing ADL care. The resident was observed during two breakfast meals, two lunch meals and part of a dinner meal. The resident did not initiate any intake on his/her own. Staff provided total assistance with all intakes. The resident received pureed food in a three-compartment plate with raised sides. The staff were observed to offer the resident bites without much interaction. Fluids were alternated with bites of food. The resident took single sips from the cups offered. The resident did not appear able to complete successive sips. The resident ate between 25% and 50% of the meals offered. One meal staff reported the resident ate 100%, the dishes were cleared before an observation was made. The resident was not observed to receive snacks in the morning or afternoon during survey. The resident was brought to breakfast later in the morning, not long before the scheduled snack time, and provided his/her breakfast meal. Weight records reviewed from 07/22/24 through 12/19/24 were reviewed and showed the following: * A weight of 133.2 pounds on 07/22/24 and a weight of 126.2 pounds on 08/19/24. This constituted a seven pound, 5.25% severe weight loss in one month. * A weight of 133 pounds on 09/23/24 and a weight of 123 pounds on 10/21/24. This constituted a 10 pound, 7.5% severe weight loss in one month. * A weight of 123 pounds on 10/21/24 and a weight of 130 pounds on 11/04/24. This constituted a seven pound, 5.69% severe increase in less than two weeks. * The resident’s weight on 11/25/24 was documented as 125.6 pounds. * A current weight was requested from the facility. The resident’s weight on 12/19/24 was observed and documented as 118.2 pounds. This constituted a 7.4 pound, 5.89% severe loss from the last recorded weight. The resident received Boost health shakes which were held and no longer administered on 09/23/24 due to swallowing concerns related to the thin consistency. The resident was noted to be placed on weekly weights prior to June 2024. The weekly weights were discontinued on 11/25/24. In interviews on 12/17/24 and 12/18/24, Staff 9 (CG), Staff 18 (CG) and Staff 22 (CG) indicated the resident required full staff assistance to eat. The resident could not feed himself/herself due to cognition, confusion, and physical limitations. The staff indicated the resident did not generally have very good intake, but it did vary. Staff 22 indicated the resident ate 100% of his/her lunch meal on 12/18/24 but had not eaten well for breakfast. In an interview on 12/19/24, Staff 4 (Regional Director of Health Services) indicated the current RN was not made aware of the resident’s changes in weight. Reports were normally pulled near the beginning of the month for monthly weight review. Staff 4 stated Staff 2 (Health Services Director/LPN) would be responsible for pulling additional reports for the weekly weights, checking weights and reporting any issues or significant changes to the current facility RN. In an interview on 12/19/24, Staff 3 (RN) indicated she was not aware of the significant changes in the resident’s weights over the last few months. The reports she had reviewed looked only at the beginning of the month so other weights during the month were not on her radar. Staff 3 assisted to get a current weight on the resident, restarted weekly weights and would look into nutritional supplements once she was able to get a baseline for the resident’s weight. Staff 3 wanted to observe the weights as they were completed to ensure proper technique and calculations were being completed. The resident was not interviewable due to cognitive impairment and non-verbal status. The facility failed to ensure an RN assessment was completed for the severe weight changes from July 2024 to November 2024 which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment. The need to ensure an RN assessment was completed which documented findings, resident status, and interventions made as a result of the assessment was discussed with Staff 1 (ED), Staff 3, Staff 4 and Staff 5 (RCC) on 12/18/24 and 12/19/24. The staff acknowledged the findings. ED and HSD will take the Change of Condition courses on NurseLearn. RN assessed resident #3 on 12/19/2024 and weekly after that with additional monitoring. The RDHS will educate the ED and HSD on referral of change of conditions to the RN. Direct care staff will be inserviced by the ED/HSD on reporting change of condition. ED, HSD and RCC's will review the observation notes at least 5 days per week, any short term or significant change of condition will be referred to the RN by the HSD and/or ED and documentation will reflect that referral.
