Overview

Stanley Post Acute in Milwaukie, Oregon, has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating it is slightly above average but not exceptional. It ranks #46 out of 127 nursing homes in Oregon, placing it in the top half of facilities statewide, and #7 out of 13 in Clackamas County, meaning there are only six local options considered better. The facility is improving, with issues decreasing from 14 in 2024 to 9 in 2025. Staffing is a concern, rated 3 out of 5 stars, with a high turnover rate of 62%, significantly above the state average. While there have been no fines, which is positive, the facility has less RN coverage than 99% of Oregon facilities, which could impact resident care. Specific incidents of concern include the failure to properly clean reusable medical equipment and a lack of hand hygiene during medication passes, which could expose residents to infections. Additionally, there were issues with incomplete assessments for residents with specific needs, potentially affecting their treatment. Overall, while there are some strengths, including a good overall rating and no fines, the facility has significant areas needing improvement, particularly in infection control and staffing practices.

2. Resident 26 was admitted to the facility in 1/2024 with diagnoses including paraplegia. The 1/15/24 admission MDS revealed Resident 26 was cognitively intact. On 5/17/24 at 10:42 AM Resident 26 stated she/he kept a prescription medication, ipratropium bromide nasal spray (used for rhinitis), at her/his bedside in a locked box. Resident 26's comprehensive care plan, last revised on 3/25/24, revealed the resident self-administered certain prescription medications including ipratropium bromide nasal spray. A review of Resident 26's health record indicated a self-administration of medication evaluation was completed on 2/23/24, however, Resident 26 was not assessed to self-administer ipratropium bromide nasal spray. On 5/17/24 at 11:14 AM Staff 36 (Agency RN) stated Resident 26 had self-administered ipratropium bromide nasal spray and reported to the charge nurse when she/he self-administered the medication and if the dose was effective.

On 5/20/24 at 1:57 PM Staff 12 (LPN Resident Care Manager) confirmed the resident was not assessed to self-administer ipratropium bromide nasal spray. Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to assess self-administration of a medication for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 8 and 26) reviewed for self-administration of medication. This placed residents at risk for unsafe medication administration. Findings include: The facility's Self-Administration Medication policy last revised on 3/2020, specified the following: -Upon admission the resident's desire to self-administer is ascertained. -During the 14-day admission assessment period the RCM (Resident Care Manager) evaluates the resident's ability to self-administer medications. -If the resident has the cognitive, physical, and emotional ability to self-administer their own medications in a safe and prudent manner a plan for self-administration is established with the resident. -A physician order is obtained indicating the specific medications that the resident is able to self-administer. -The self-administration is on the resident's care plan to include location of drugs, documentation procedure, place of administration and specific medications. -The resident is reevaluated for continued ability to self-administer their medications annually and with significant change in condition. 1. Resident 8 was admitted to the facility in 4/2024 with diagnoses including a stroke and heart disease. A Physician Order dated 4/29/24 revealed Resident 8 was to receive Artificial Tears ophthalmic solution and to instill one drop in both eyes as needed for dry eyes daily. A 4/30/24 admission MDS indicated Resident 8 had a BIMS score of 14 and she/he was cognitively intact.

Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to protect resident identifiable information and ensure records were accurate for 2 of 4 sampled residents (#s 41 and 42) reviewed for record management and insulin. This placed residents at risk for unauthorized use of their personal information and inaccurate treatment. Findings include: 1. A review of the facility's 12/2023 HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Compliance policy indicated the facility was to safeguard all forms of PHI (Protected Health Information) for each resident. On 5/17/24 at 12:33 PM resident identifiable information including Resident 41's name, medication type, prescription number, and the resident's physician's name was observed inside a clear plastic garbage bag with no lid located on the side of a nurse treatment cart. The treatment cart was in the hallway close to the front entrance of the facility and available for anyone in the facility to see. Other items observed in the garbage bag with the resident identifiable information included used gloves and an opened alcohol wipe packet. On 5/17/24 at 12:36 PM Staff 27 (Corporate RN) acknowledged the garbage bag contained resident identifiable information and further acknowledged resident identifiable information was not to be placed in any garbage. Staff 27 stated the expectation was for staff to place any resident identifiable information in a secure confidential shred bin located inside the facility. 2. Resident 42 was admitted 2/2024 with a diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes. A 3/5/24 Significant Change of Condition MDS indicated Resident 42 was cognitively intact. a. The 3/11/24 at 9:48 AM progress note indicated Resident 42 was Hypoglycemic with glucose readings of 61 and 91 before breakfast. Post breakfast it was reported to the licensed nurse that Resident 42 refused breakfast, had a blood glucose level of 37, was diaphoretic and was arousable but was not completely conscious or awake. The Licensed Nurse documented giving 15oz of juice, an intramuscular shot of glucagon, and gel applied to gums (a substitute for oral tablets when swallowing capability is in question). The 3/2024 Diabetic administration record indicated the Glucagon emergency kit, Glucose Oral tablet Chewable 4gm (to be given if blood glucose reading was below 70), and the Hypoglycemia protocol (to be initiated for a blood glucose reading below 70 and patient is showing symptoms) was not administered. On 5/17/24 at 10:17 AM Staff 2 (DNS) stated the progress note which indicated Resident 42's blood glucose reading was 61 before breakfast was incorrect and should not have been in the progress note. Staff 2 stated the actions taken by the licensed nurse in the same progress note were documented correctly. Staff 2 confirmed the diabetic administration record did not show the interventions administered to Resident 42 on 3/11/24. b. The 5/16/24 progress note indicated Resident's blood sugar dropped to 67, [orange juice] given, and provider notified. A review of the 5/2024 Diabetic Administration Record (DAR) revealed the record did not reflect the interventions documented in the progress note. On 5/17/23 at 11:16 AM Staff 33 (LPN) confirmed the DAR did not reflect the actions taken by Staff 34 (LPN) to remedy Resident 42's low blood glucose levels. Staff 33 stated Resident 42 had PRN orders for low blood glucose, and interventions were to be documented in the DAR. On 5/17/24 at 10:17 AM Staff 2 (DNS) was provided with these findings. Staff 2 confirmed the DAR was blank for 5/16/24.

Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to prepare and store foods in a manner to prevent cross contamination and spoilage for 1 of 1 kitchen reviewed for sanitary practices and 1 of 1 resident (#31) reviewed for food service and storage. This placed residents at risk of foodborne illness. Findings include: 1. On 3/20/23 at 9:10 AM during the initial tour of the facility's kitchen, the main prep island between the stove and dishwashing room was observed to have an open bag of chopped lettuce, an open container of sliced pickles, an open bin of sliced tomatoes and an open bin of sliced onions. Staff 8 (Dietary Aide) was observed scraping food debris from dishes into a garbage container. He reported the cook who was working with these items was on his break. No one else was observed working in the kitchen at that time. On 3/20/23 at 3:38 PM, Staff 7 (Food Service Manager) reported he was aware the cook left the items on the island to go to the bathroom. He reported he expected the items to be covered and stored in the refrigerator when they were not actively being used for meal preparation. 2. On 3/20/23 at 9:18 AM an observation was made of two glasses of milk covered with plastic tops dated 3/18 on Resident 31's overbed table. The milk was room temperature with what appeared to be small and large chunks of curdled milk floating in the top of both glasses. The facility's Outside Food and Safety Tips Policy indicated the following: -Discard any food left out at room temperature for more than two hours, or one hour if the temperature is above 90 degrees. On 3/20/23 at 3:21 PM Staff 12 (CNA) stated he did not like to leave resident trays in their rooms over 45 minutes with uneaten food or drinks. Staff 12 stated he would not leave milk or other dairy products out for extended periods of time due to how quickly they can go bad. On 3/20/23 at 3:57 PM Staff 2 (DNS) stated the facility would not typically allow milk to sit out for extended periods of time. Staff 2 stated it was her expectation CNAs should have taken the milk out of Resident 31's room in a timely manner. On 3/21/23 at 10:59 AM Staff 9 (LPN) stated she talked to Resident 31 regarding the glasses of milk. Staff 9 stated Resident 31 did not like to waste food and was planning on drinking the milk until she/he was shown the milk was curdled. Staff 9 stated the CNAs should have removed the glasses from Resident 31's room with the meal tray or soon after.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to thoroughly investigate a potential medication error for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#10) reviewed for medications. This placed residents at risk for receiving another residents medications. Findings include: Resident 10 was admitted to the facilty in 2021 with diagnoses including hypertension. The 11/25/21 Incident Note revealed Resident 10 possibly received the incorrect medications on 11/14 PM [11/24/21 was date of incident]. Resident 10 remembered double checking with the nurse about the medications because she/he had never taken a magnesium tablet before, she/he did not take a red pill or a puffer. The nurse double checked the surrounding rooms' medications where it was noted the room next door had a magnesium, apixaban (blood thinner/pinkish colored pill) and an Advair inhaler (respiratory medication). The physician was notified of the possible medication error and ordered Resident 10 to be monitored for any change in level of consciousness or bleeding. [Resident 10 was prescribed Lovenox (blood thinner).] The 11/24/21 Facility Investigation revealed Resident 10 asked the nurse if she was sure she had the correct medications, the nurse told Resident 10 she already double checked in the computer so Resident 10 took the medications because the nurse told her/him they were hers/his and Resident 10 believed she/he should trust the nurse. The investigation did not include a statement from the nurse if she did or did not administer the medications and did not include reviewing the other residents medications to verify if the other resident medications had the correct number of doses left for the medications in question. The investigation did not determine if Resident 10 was administered another residents medications or not. On 11/2/22 at 11:55 AM Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (DNS) verified the facility investigation was not thorough as it did not conclude if a medication error occurred and did not review the other residents medications for missing medications.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure pressure ulcer assessments were completed accurately and treatment was implemented timely for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#5) reviewed for skin conditions. This placed residents at risk for worsening pressure injury and infection. Findings include: The facility's 9/2020 Skin at Risk/Skin Breakdown Policy indicated: -Full body skin evaluations were to be completed weekly and completion is documented. No indicated no new skin impairment and yes indicated new skin impairment. -Upon discovery of newly identified skin impairment (abrasion, skin tear, etc.) the licensed nurse would: *Document skin impairment that includes measurements of size, color, presence of odor and exudates. The National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel utilizes the follow pressure ulcer staging guidelines: * Stage 2: Partial-thickness skin loss with exposed dermis. * Stage 3: Full-thickness skin loss. Adipose (fat) tissue is visible, slough (yellow/white material/dead cells that accumulate in wound bed) and/or eschar (dead tissue) may be visable. * Stage 4: Obscurred full-thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of the tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it is obscurred by slough or eschar. If slought or eschar is removed, a Stage 3 or 4 pressure injury wil be reviewed. Resident 5 admitted to the facility in 2015 with diagnoses including multiple sclerosis (a disease affecting the central nervous system) and bilateral leg fractures. The 8/25/22 Significant Change MDS indicated Resident 5 did not have any skin breakdown but was at risk for developing pressure ulcers. A review of Resident 5's medical record starting 8/2022 revealed no evidence of weekly skin checks prior to 9/3/22. Resident 5's 9/3/22 Equipment Assessment indicated the resident was required to wear a tightly fit brace to her/his right leg related to a fracture. An exam of the skin under the brace showed a red area under the strap just below the inner knee. A hydrocolloid (moisture-retentive dressing) was applied, and a pad was placed between the brace and the resident's knee. There were no measurements or other descriptions of the wound. Resident 5's Skin Wound Evaluations were reviewed from 9/2022 through 10/2022 indicated the following: - 9/8/22: Right inner knee abrasion measuring 2.3 cm x 2 cm x 0 cm. the wound was noted to have 100% granulation. It was noted the wound was on the inner knee where the brace fit against the skin and appeared to be friction caused. This was noted to be the first evaluation of the wound and the wound was not present on admission. -9/15/22: Right inner knee Stage 2 pressure ulcer measuring 2.6 cm x 2.5 cm x 0 cm. The wound was noted to have 75% slough and 25% granulation with serous drainage. It was noted the resident saw an outside wound provider today to obtain measurements and photos. [The description described a Stage 3 or unstageable pressure ulcer.] -9/22/22: Right inner knee Stage 2 pressure ulcer measuring 2.6 cm x 2.5 cm x 0 cm. The wound was noted to have 75% slough and 25% granulation with serous drainage. It was noted the resident saw an outside wound provider today to obtain measurements and photos. The 9/22/22 evaluation had the same wording and measurements as the 9/15/22 evaluation. [The description described a Stage 3 or unstageable pressure ulcer.] -9/29/22: Right inner knee Unstageable pressure ulcer measuring 8.5 cm x 3.5 cm x 0 cm. The wound was beefy red with 25% slough, 50% granulation, and 10% epithelization. The wound was noted as improved. -10/6/22: Right inner knee Unstageable pressure ulcer measuring 1.1X1.2/ x 3.5 cm x 0 cm. The wound was beefy red with 100% granulation and moderate serosanguineous (watery fluid containing blood) drainage. [Does not meet definition to be staged as unstageable.] A 9/22/22 outside would provider note indicated Resident 5 had an Unstageable right medial lower leg pressure wound measuring 8.5 cm x 3.5 cm x 0 cm. The note indicated 9/22/22 was the initial assessment of Resident 5's right medial lower leg pressure ulcer. The pressure ulcer had 0-10% epithelialization, 26-50% granulation, 11-25% slough, and no eschar. Treatment orders included: 1. clean wound with wound cleanser. 2. apply skin prep to peri-wound and allow to dry. 3. apply xeroform (wound dressing) to base of wound. 4. cover with bordered foam. Place additional ABDS (cushion dressing) if necessary for extra padding. 5. change three times per week and prn for accidental removal, saturation and/or soiling. The 9/2022 TAR indicated the 9/22/22 identified treatment order from the outside wound provider was not implemented until 9/29/22. A 10/27/22 outside wound provider note indicated Resident 5's right medial lower leg pressure ulcer had resolved. On 11/7/22 at 11:51 AM Staff 3 (LPN Resident Care Manager) stated the weekly skin assessments were expected to be completed by staff but were not documented in Resident 5's medical record. Staff 3 stated Resident 5's right medial lower leg wound was a pressure ulcer due to a medical device and was unstageable as of 9/8/22. Staff 3 acknowledged the inconsistencies in the wound assessments for 9/8/22 and 9/15/22 and confirmed the 9/22/22 had the same wording as the 9/15/22 assessment. Staff 3 acknowledged the 9/22/22 facility skin evaluation was inconsistent and inaccurate compared with the outside wound provider's 9/22/22 wound assessment.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facilty failed to ensure residents were free from significant medication errors for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#7) reviewed for medications. This placed residents at risk for receiving another residents medications. Findings include: Resident 7 admitted to the facility in 2021 with diagnoses including diabetes. A 7/12/22 Progress Note revealed Resident 7 was administered another residents medications which included oxycodone (narcotic pain medication), Seroquel (antipsychotic medication), melatonin (supplement), Senna (bowel medication), multiple Parkinson's medications and gabapentin (nerve pain medication). The physician was notified and instructed the facility to transfer the resident to the hospital for monitoring due to Resident 7's low tolerance for that many high-power medications and the risk for respiratory depression and adverse drug reactions. A 7/13/22 Progress Note revealed Resident 7 returned to the facility in the afternoon. A 7/14/22 Physician Note revealed the blood tests were completed in the hospital were essentially unremarkable and the resident was stable since her/his return to the facility. On 11/7/22 at 12:05 PM Staff 2 (DNS) verified Resident 7 received another residents medications, was transferred to the hospital for overnight monitoring and acknowledged this was a significant medication error.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Stanley Post Acute?

Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate.

Is Stanley Post Acute Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, STANLEY POST ACUTE has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 4-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Oregon.

Do Nurses at Stanley Post Acute Stick Around?

Staff turnover at STANLEY POST ACUTE is high. At 62%, the facility is 16 percentage points above the Oregon average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 80%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?

Was Stanley Post Acute Ever Fined?

STANLEY POST ACUTE has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections.

STANLEY POST ACUTE is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
