Summary
The facility failed to provide a resident with prior written notice regarding a room change, as required. A resident with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes was admitted to the facility and was documented as being in a specific room. However, the resident was moved to a different room over a weekend without any written documentation or notification provided to the resident about the nature or date of the move. This was confirmed through observation, record review, and staff interviews, with the Director of Clinical Services acknowledging the absence of required written notice in the resident's medical record.
