Summary
Facility staff failed to immediately notify the resident, the resident's physician, and a family member about situations that affected the resident, such as injury, decline, or changes in room assignment. This lack of timely communication was observed and documented by surveyors during the review of facility practices and records. The report specifically notes that the required notifications were not made promptly when events impacting the resident occurred, as mandated by regulations.
