Summary
The facility failed to provide advanced written notice prior to a room change for one resident. The resident, who was cognitively intact and had difficulty walking, reported experiencing several room changes without prior notification, with staff typically informing her of the move on the same day it occurred. Record review confirmed that the resident had four room changes since admission, but only two written notifications were documented. The social worker confirmed that staff are expected to inform residents and document these conversations, but was unable to locate the missing notifications for two of the room changes.
