Honor the resident's right to share a room with spouse or roommate of choice and receive written notice
before a change is made.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to notify a resident's responsible party about
a room change prior to being moved to a new room on a different unit within the facility. This affected one
(R1) of one resident reviewed for resident rights.
Findings include:
R1 was initially admitted to 1st floor nursing unit on 12/03/24 and has diagnosis which includes but not
limited to Neurocognitive Disorder with Lewy Bodies, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Cerebral Infarction, Personal
History of Transient Ischemic Attack, Unspecified Dementia With Other Behavioral Disturbance,
Age-Related Osteoporosis, Unspecified Severe Protein Calorie Malnutrition, Difficulty Walking, Lack of
Coordination, Dysphasia, Generalized Anxiety, Unspecified Psychosis.
R1's MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment dated [DATE] documents in part, resident is rarely/never
understood. BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) was not able to be conducted.
R1's electronic health record (EHR) lists R1's daughter, V16 as R1's Power of Attorney.
Per R1's EHR's Census List indicates R1's room was change from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor on
04/07/25. A nursing note on 04/07/25 time stamped 14:48 documented in part, received resident at 2:30
PM from the first floor . Upon initial review of R1's EHR on 04/15/25 there was no documentation in R1's
record indicating R1's POA was notified about the room change and/or the reason for the room change.
Upon later review of R1's EHR V13 (Social Service Coordinator) entered a late entry progress note time
stamped 04/15/25, 14:45:38 backdated to 04/07/25, 19:20:00 which documented in part, this worker
informed daughter (V16) due to dementia dx (diagnosis) and by (R1) being considered a long-term
resident, is the reason why (R1) was moved to the 2nd floor .
On 04/16/25 at 11:46 AM, via phone interview V16 (R1's Power of Attorney) stated she did not receive any
notification either verbally or in writing about R1 being moved from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor. V16 stated
she found out about the move when another family member came to visit R1 on 04/07/25 around 4:30 PM
and the family member could not find R1 on the 1st floor. V16 stated the residents in the 1st floor day room
are the ones who informed the family member that R1 had been transferred to a different unit, not the staff.
V16 stated on that same day (04/07/25) she had called the facility around 3:15 PM to get an update on her
mom (R1) and the nurse did not mention anything about R1 being moved to a different unit. V16 stated they
transferred my mother (R1) to a new floor, and V16 received no notification about the change which is why
V16 knew nothing about it. V16 stated the 2nd floor is a dementia unit and if the facility had notified her
about their decision to change R1 to

the dementia unit before it happened, she (V16) would have had the opportunity to express her concerns
so the facility could understand her reasoning for why she preferred R1 to stay on the 1st floor. V16 stated
they could have a discussion about it, but the facility made the move without even notifying her (V16) before
they moved R1.
On 04/15/25 at 3:20 PM, V13 (Social Service Coordinator) stated the resident's family/POA/guardian are
notified when a resident will be transferred to a different room or unit and this notification is documented in
the resident's EHR in a progress note section by a social service staff member. V13 stated the facility can
let the family know about the transfer the day before and/or the day of but the family/POA must be notified
prior to when the transfer occurs. V13 stated the only time they do not notify the family is if the resident is
responsible for themselves, and/or they do not have a Power of Attorney or guardian. V13 stated it is
important to notify the POA/guardian about the room change so the family/POA/guardian is aware of the
change. V13 stated on 04/07/25 in the afternoon, R1's family member came in to visit R1 and by that time
R1 had already been transferred to the 2nd floor. V13 stated R1's family member who was visiting then
called V16 (R1's POA) and then V16 called V13. V13 stated V16 was upset that R1 was transferred to the
2nd floor but V13 stated she had educated them when R1 was initially admitted that the 1st floor was not
for long-term placement so V13 felt the family knew this transfer was coming eventually even if they did not
know the specific day/time it was going to happen. V13 stated notification of the transfer was not addressed
prior to the change happening.
On 04/16/25 at 10:00 AM, V14 (Social Service Director) stated we normally figure out the room/unit the
resident will be transferred to and then we notify the POA/guardian/next of kin verbally by telephone before
the transfer occurs and we also notify them in writing by giving them a form called Notification of Room
Change form. V14 stated the Notification of Room Change form specifies the date the notification was given
and the reason for the room change. V14 stated it is important that the facility notify the POA/guardian
ahead of the move when a change is going to be made so that they are aware that their loved one is going
to be moved.
On 04/17/25 at 9:10 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated a resident's POA/guardian or responsive party
should be notified verbally prior to the transfer and written documentation can be provided later when the
POA/guardian is in the building. V2 stated it is important that they are notified ahead of time so they know
where their loved one will be located before they come to visit the resident, so they know where to find
them. V2 stated this is a resident's right and they should be provided with an explanation of why the transfer
will be happening. V2 stated notification should be documented somewhere in the EHR about the verbal
notification to the resident's responsible party about the pending transfer. V2 stated all documentation
should be done in the EHR, the facility does not keep paper records and therefore, if it is not in the EHR
there is no proof that it was done.
On 04/17/25 at 12:59 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated for any resident getting transferred to a different room
the POA/guardian should be notified before the transfer/change happens. V1 stated that is part of resident
rights. V1 stated the notification can be done verbally in which case the conversation should be
documented in the progress note section to prove that it happened. V1 stated if it is not documented in the
resident's EHR there is no proof that it happened. V1 stated it was an oversight that R1's POA was not
called ahead of time and V13 should not be backdating information in the progress notes. V1 stated it is his
expectation that she (V13) enters the information in EHR when it occurs.
R1's Notification of Room/Roommate Change form dated 04/07/25, 12:44 is blank for the section on
