For Resident 1 who was moved from Room A to Room B on 10/11/24, the facility failed to inform Resident 1 ' s responsible party (RP) and the reason for the change of rooms before moving Resident 1 on 10/11/24.

Findings: During a review of the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral infarction (when the blood supply to the part of the brain is blocked or reduced) affecting the right side and developmental disorder of speech and language.

During a review of the Social Service Note dated 10/14/24 at 4:08 p.m., the notes indicated Resident 1 ' s room was changed from Room A to Room B on 10/11/24. The notes did not indicate Resident 1 ' s RP was notified nor indicated the reason why Resident 1 was transferred from Room A to Room B. During a telephone interview on 11/8/24 at 11:24 a.m., the social service designee (SSD) stated before moving the resident, the resident and the family should be notified.
