Summary
The facility failed to provide written notice of a room change for one resident with severe cognitive impairment, as required by facility policy. The policy states that residents and their legal representatives or interested family members must be notified in writing within 48 hours of a change in room or roommate assignment. Record review showed that the resident was moved to a different room, but there was no documentation in the medical record indicating that the resident or their representative received written notification of this change. During an interview, the DON confirmed that there was no documentation of written notice being given.
