During an interview with the Social Worker Staff (SWS) on 1/9/25 at 10:50 a.m., she stated that Resident 1 requested to be moved to another room in the morning of 1/3/25 due to previous roommate who passed away, but the notice of room change was not signed yet by Resident 1 at that time.

During an interview with the Housekeeping Staff (HS) on 1/9/25 at 10:20 a.m., he stated that on 1/3/25 at around between 5:00 to 5:30 p.m., while helping the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and Transportation Staff (TS) to move Resident 1 to another room, Resident 1 become upset, screaming, and crying and telling them she did not want to be moved to another room.

Resident 1 was moved by the above three staff while lying in her bed to another room that time. During an interview with the TS on 1/9/25 at 10:44 a.m., he stated that on 1/3/25 at around between 400 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., while helping the ADON and HS to move Resident 1 to another room, Resident 1 become upset and was screaming and stated she did not want to move to another room.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/10/25 at 2:13 p.m., he stated that the ADON should have not executed the room change on 1/3/25 at around between 5:00-5:30 p.m. when Resident 1 became upset, crying, and screaming and did not want to be moved to another room. DON further stated ADON should have waited for about 10-15 minutes for Resident 1 to calm down, then explained and tried the room change procedure again.
