Summary
The facility failed to follow its room-to-room transfer policy by not notifying the resident's power of attorney prior to a room change. According to the facility's policy dated April 2014, the resident, their roommate, and the resident's representative are to be informed before any room transfer occurs. On September 16, 2025, a resident was moved to a different room, but there was no documentation in the electronic record that the resident's power of attorney was notified. This was confirmed by the Social Service Director, who stated that the notification did not occur, and by a review of the resident's power of attorney paperwork and the facility's records.
