Summary
A deficiency occurred when a resident was moved to a different room without receiving prior written notice from the facility. The resident, who was alert and oriented, reported that staff entered his room and asked him to move without giving him the opportunity to pack his belongings himself, which was important to him. Review of the clinical records and room change notification confirmed that the room change and the notification were both dated the same day, and the section for providing a written copy to the resident was marked as not applicable. There was no evidence in the records that written notice was provided to the resident before the room change, and the administrator confirmed that written notice was not given.
