The investigators from the federal government and Wisconsin penalize caregiving facilities identified with severe violations of nursing home rules and regulations by withholding payment for Medicare services or imposing monetary fines. The higher the penalty usually means the worse offense.
Within the last three years, investigators imposed two monetary penalties against Oregon Manor Care Center, citing substandard care. These penalties include a $70,656 fine on August 17, 2017, and a $7,193 fine on November 07, 2016, for a total of $77,849.

According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including two out of five stars concerning health inspections, one out of five stars for staffing issues and four out of five stars for quality measures.
According to state surveyors, the “facility did not ensure [a resident’s representative] was informed of the alteration in medication.” The investigation determined that the resident’s insulin was increased on July 28, 2017, and August 2, 2017. Additionally, their medication was increased on August 2, 2017. However, the resident’s representative “was not notified or consulted.”
The “facility did not ensure a resident having a pressure injury (PI) received the necessary treatment and services to promote healing, prevent infection, and prevent new pressure injuries from developing.” The investigation involved a resident “reviewed for treatment and prevention of pressure injuries.”
The resident “was admitted to the facility without a pressure injury and was identified to be at risk for development.” The resident “developed a facility-acquired unstageable pressure injury; the facility did not assess the pressure injury following current standards of practice and did not notify Hospice nor the Physician timely.”
The nursing home “did not ensure each resident received adequate supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents.” In one case, a resident “had multiple incidents of resident-to-resident altercations with several residents the facility did not provide supervision adequate to prevent further incidents.”
The resident’s “repeated altercations with [another resident] caused her to express fear and indicate that she changed her activity pattern due to the fear of [the resident].” A third resident also had two resident-to-resident altercations with the aggressive resident.”
During another event, a resident “was noted to have bruising on her arm from a resident-to-resident altercation with [the aggressive resident].”
