Overview

Marquis Newberg has a Trust Grade of B+, which indicates that it is recommended and performs above average compared to other facilities. It ranks #15 out of 127 nursing homes in Oregon, placing it in the top half, and #2 out of 6 in Yamhill County, meaning only one local option is better. The facility is improving, with the number of issues decreasing from 6 in 2023 to just 3 in 2024. Staffing is rated 4 out of 5 stars, but the turnover rate is 52%, which is about average for the state. There have been no fines, which is a positive sign, and the RN coverage is average, meaning residents may not receive as much specialized care as in some other facilities. However, there have been some concerns noted during inspections. For example, there was a medication error where a resident received another resident’s medication, which could have resulted in serious health issues. Additionally, there was a situation where a staff member failed to notify a family member about a resident's change in condition for several hours, potentially delaying necessary medical care. While the home has strengths, such as its overall high ratings and no fines, these incidents highlight areas that need attention to ensure resident safety and communication.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to notify a resident's representative timely of a change of condition for 1 of 3 (#3) sampled residents reviewed for resident rights. This placed residents at risk for delayed treatment. Findings include: Resident 3 admitted to the facility in 7/2023 with diagnoses including Pleural Effusion (a buildup of fluid between the tissues that line the lungs and chest). Resident 3's 7/13/23 facility admission form indicated Witness 1 (family member) was the primary emergency contact. On 2/13/24, a concern was received which alleged Witness 1 was not nofified about a change of condition for Resident 3 on 11/24/23 until after 1:00 PM when the resident exhibited symptoms for several hours prior. The complainant further stated Staff 5 (CNA) had repeatedly asked Staff 7 (LPN) to contact Witness 1 but Staff 7 said she didn't want Witness 1 to come to the facility and panic. On 2/16/24 at 7:58 AM, Witness 1 stated she was very involved in the daily activities of Resident 3 and was her/his emergency contact. She stated after Resident 3 was hospitalized , she was informed by Staff 5 the resident's change of condition was known much earlier in the day. Staff 7 was made aware of the change of condition by Staff 5 early in the shift but did not contact Witness 1 until after 1:00 PM. Witness 1 stated she would have immediately requested Resident 3 be sent to the hospital if she had been contacted in the morning. On 2/16/24 at 12:45 PM Staff 5 stated she observed Resident 3 on 11/24/23 shortly after her shift started at 6:00 AM. She stated Resident 3 was off - staring at the ceiling, and was unable to talk, which Staff 5 said was off her/his baseline. Staff 5 took the resident's vital signs and noticed the resident's blood pressure was higher than her/his baseline readings. She reported the changes to Staff 7 but nothing was done. Later in the morning a new skin condition was identified and assessed by Staff 7. Staff 5 said she was concerned enough to ask Staff 6 (CNA), who also was very familiar with Resident 3's care needs, to check on her/him as well. Staff 5 stated she continued to check the resident every half hour and made more than one request for Staff 7 to contact Resident 3's family but this wasn't done until after 1:00 PM. On 2/26/24 at 9:35 AM Staff 6 stated he saw Resident 3 earlier in the morning on 11/24/23, noted she/he recognized and smiled at him but couldn't talk, which was not typical for her/his baseline. Staff 6 stated he saw Resident 3 two hours later, the resident no longer recognized Staff 6 and her/his condition had deteriorated. He confirmed he and Staff 5 informed Staff 7 of the resident's change in condition. He wasn't aware when the resident was assessed by Staff 7. Efforts to contact Staff 7 on 2/22/24 were unsuccessful, so no interview was completed. Resident 33's clinical record was reviewed and a progress note dated 11/24/23 at 1:18 PM revealed Resident 3 was observed by Staff 5 at the beginning of her shift to have experienced a change in mental status, which included a dazed affect, slurring of her/his speech and the inability to speak. Resident 5's mentation continued to deteriorate and she/he was sent to the hospital at approximately 1:15 PM. A skin report dated 11/24/23 at 10:15 AM revealed Resident 3 had a new skin condition. The physician and Witness 1 were contacted at or after 1:00 PM, several hours after she/he exhibited signs and symptoms of a change in her/his mental status and skin condition. On 2/26/24 at 1:15 PM AM Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (DNS) were informed of the investigative findings and provided no further information.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure staff had the appropriate skills and competencies necessary to care for resident needs related to external catheter devices for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#3) reviewed for incontinence care. This placed residents at risk for unmet needs. Findings include: Resident 3 was admitted to the facility in 7/2023 with diagnoses including Pleural Effusion (a buildup of fluid between the tissues that line the lungs and chest). Resident 3's Care Plan dated 7/13/23 revealed she/he used a Purewick system (an external urine collection system which used suction and a wick to draw urine away from the body). The device instructions directed the device was to be placed in the groin area adjacent to the urethral opening and had to be correctly placed in order to wick the urine into the tubing and deposit in the attached canister. On 2/13/24 a concern was received stating staff who provided incontinence care did not know how to use the Purewick system, placed it too low in the groin area, which caused the resident's tailbone to hurt and the device to suction fecal matter into the canister. On 2/16/24 at 12:45 PM Staff 5 (CNA) stated Resident 3 was the only resident in the facility who used the Purewick system. She stated CNAs provided incontinence care and were responsible for using the Purewick system. Staff 5 stated Resident 3 was very particular about where the device was placed and wanted it placed to the side (of the urethral opening, rather than the middle) and the off centered device may have caused sores in the resident's groin area. Staff 5 stated she had not received training on how to use the device. On 2/26/24 at 9:35 AM Staff 6 (CNA) stated he was familiar with Resident 3's care needs and she/he was care planned for the Purewick system. He stated the staff providing inontinence care for the resident did not know how to use it, had overheard staff talking about the catch basin which contained feces rather than urine due to the incorrect placement of the catheter. Staff 6 stated there were a lot of agency staff working in the facility and if training were provided, agency staff would stay on the floor during staff meetings. On 2/26/24 at 10:30 AM Staff 4 (CNA 2) stated she was familiar with the Purewick system due to working in hospitals. She stated she told CNAs how to place the device but several times she would come on shift, provide incontinence care to Resident 3 and the device would be placed too low. As a result, Resident 3 had indentations on the skin surrounding the groin/buttock area and the device would suction fecal matter. Staff 4 stated the Purewick system was primarily used in hospitals and at home so facility staff were unfamiliar with the system. She stated the placement of the device couldn't be too high or it would not extract urine and if the device were too low, fecal matter would be caught in the tubing and clog the device. On 2/22/24, Staff 2 (Acting DNS) provided notes from a CNA meeting held on 12/20/23. The form indicated a notation Purewick video but no staff signatures were attached to the meeting notes. Staff 2 also provided incontinence training records for several staff but the list did not contain dates of completion. On 2/26/24 at 11:29 AM, Staff 2 stated no competencies or assessments had been completed with CNA staff regarding the use of the Purewick system.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to accurately document in the medical record for 1 of 5 sampled residents (#18) reviewed for medication. This placed residents at risk for inaccurate medical records and unmet needs. Findings include: Resident 18 was admitted to the facility 12/2018 with diagnoses including end stage renal disease and diabetes. a. A 5/28/19 physician order indicated the physician was to be notified if Resident 18's blood sugars were below 60 mg/dl. Resident 18's 6/2019 MAR indicated on the following dates her/his blood sugar levels were below the physician ordered parameter: -6/2/19, 47 mg/dl, signed by Staff 7 (LPN) -6/3/19, 44 mg/dl, signed by Staff 6 (LPN) -6/5/19, 55 mg/dl, signed by Staff 5 (LPN) Review of Resident 18's medical record for 6/2019 indicated no documentation of the physician being notified on the dates when the resident's blood sugars were below parameter.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 4. Resident 20 was admitted to the facility on 10/2018 with diagnosis including an open wound on her/his right foot and peripheral vascular disease (PVD) (blood circulation disorder). The 11/21/18 admission MDS indicated the resident was not cognitively intact and was at risk for pressure ulcers. Review of Resident 20's 3/7/19 Skin and Wound Care Evaluation indicated a new right lateral calf unstageable wound measuring 4.3 cm long and 3.9 cm wide with eschar (hard plaque covering an ulcer, implying extensive tissue necrosis) covering the wound bed. The wound was further described as a Medical Device Related Pressure Injury. Review of Resident 20's 3/7/19 Skin Event indicated a new skin impairment was discovered during a skin check in the shower. The preliminary cause was determined to be pressure from the wheelchair leg rest. The facility added a cushion to the wheelchair leg rests. It further indicated Resident 20 was only able to make minor shifts in position without staff assistance. The resident spent most of her/his day alternating between her/his bed and the wheelchair. Resident 20 continued to be at high risk for skin impairments due to her/his PVD and thin, dry and fragile skin. A physician's order note dated 3/7/19 directed staff to find cause of pressure and eliminate please. Review of Resident 20's 5/1/19 quarterly nursing summary indicated the resident had multiple interventions in place for pressure prevention which included additional padding added to the wheel chair legs. The following observations were made of Resident 20: -6/24/19 at 9:00 AM the resident was up in a chair in sun room with padded leg protection on the wheelchair legs. -6/26/19 at 1:44 PM the resident was resting in bed with her/his eyes closed and her/his wheelchair next to the bed with the legs removed and placed on floor. The wheelchair leg padding was also on the floor leaning on the wall. -6/26/19 at 11:15 PM the resident was resting in bed with her/his eyes closed and her/his wheelchair was next to the bed with the legs removed and placed on floor. The wheelchair leg padding was also on the floor. The resident's care plan and [NAME] were reviewed and they were not updated to reflect the use of padding. The padding applied to the wheelchair was observed to be removable and needed to be replaced each time. Resident 20 was transferred from her/his bed to the wheelchair each time. On 6/26/19 at 1:36 PM Staff 14 (RNCM) stated Resident 20's left lateral calf wound was discovered 3/7/19. She confirmed the wheel chair leg padding was not added to the care plan or [NAME]. 3. Resident 18 was admitted to the facility 12/2018 with diagnoses including end stage renal disease and diabetes. Review of Resident 18's current care plan, initiated 12/4/18, and [NAME] (CNA Care Plan) indicated the resident went out of the facility for dialysis treatment two times a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays. A Nephrology Consultation document dated 1/8/19 indicated Resident 18 received dialysis three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. On 6/20/19 at 11:36 AM Resident 18 stated she/he received dialysis three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. On 6/26/19 at 8:53 AM Staff 2 (DNS) acknowledged Resident 18 no longer received dialysis two times a week and the care plan was not updated to reflect she/he received dialysis three times a week. Based on observation, interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to revise resident care plans for 4 of 10 sampled residents (#s 4, 11, 18 and 20) reviewed for pressure ulcers, medications and dialysis. This placed residents at risk for unmet needs. Findings include: 1. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 2019 with a diagnosis of a pressure ulcer. Review of the resident's 2/26/19 care plan indicated the resident was at risk for pressure ulcers. The care plan did not indicate the use of protective boots. Review of Residents 4's current [NAME] (CNA Care PLan) did not indicate the use of the protective boots. A 5/8/19 discontinued order indicated the resident had placement of boots for protection to lower extremities. The following observations were made of Resident 4: -6/21/19 at 9:32 AM the resident was in bed wearing pressure reducing protective boots. -6/24/19 at 1:55 PM the resident was up in her/his wheelchair wearing sneakers. -6/26/19 at 8:46 AM the resident was in bed wearing protective boots. On 6/24/19 Staff 13 (Charge Nurse) stated Resident 4 was wearing the protective boots but the last couple of days was just wearing her/his sneakers. On 6/25/19 at 10:04 AM Staff 3 (CNA) stated Resident 4 wore the protective boots in and out of bed. He stated the resident had always worn the boots. Staff 3 stated he would refer to the care plan and [NAME] to verify the resident's care needs. Staff 3 confirmed the use of the protective boots for Resident 4 was not on the care plan or [NAME]. On 6/26/19 at 8:57 AM Staff 2 (DNS) indicated there were no current orders for the use of the protective boots for Resident 4. She stated the resident wore both sneakers and the protective boots. She stated the resident sometimes preferred to wear the protective boots. Staff 2 confirmed the resident's preference for the use of protective boots was not on the care plan or [NAME]. 2. Resident 11 was admitted to the facility in 2017 with diagnoses including depression. A review of Resident 11's orders indicated the use of escitalopram (antidepressant) with a start date of 9/4/18 and an end date of 11/13/18. A 12/10/18 Behavior/Psychotropic meeting indicated there were no psychotropic medications ordered. The resident's 4/11/19 care plan indicated the resident used psychotropic medication related to anxiety and depression. On 06/26/19 at 8:53 AM Staff 2 (DNS) confirmed Resident 11's care plan was not updated to reflect the discontinuation of the antidepressant.
