facility nor given the opportunity to attend an IDT meeting to discuss Resident 4 ' s condition or plan of care
after his fall on 11/22/2024. RP 2 stated she was very angry and frustrated with the facility for not giving her
the opportunity to participate in the IDT meeting and Resident 4 ' s care. RP 2 stated she had questions

should have ensured Resident 4 ' s RPs were included in the IDT meeting and failing to do so caused
confusion and RP 2 to feel distrustful of the facility. The DON stated it was a violation of RP 4 ' s rights by
not including his RPs in the IDT meeting. The DON stated the RPs should have been given the right to be
involved in Resident 4 ' s plan of care.
