the procedure was to provide guidelines for safely transferring residents from one room to another when
such a transfer has been approved in accordance with facility policies. The policy stated the residents were

the information must include where the room is located, who the resident's new roommate, if any, would be,
who will be providing the resident's care, that his/her family and visitors would be informed of the room
change and why the transfer was taking place. The policy continued to state the following information
should be recorded in the resident's medical record: date/time of room transfer was made, the names and
titles of the individual(s) who assisted in the move, all assessment data obtained during the move, how the
resident tolerated the move, if the resident refused the move and the resident why, and the signature and
title of the person recording the data.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00165133.
