Review of Resident #10's progress notes revealed on 07/31/23 the Administrator noted he spoke with Resident #10's daughter about moving Resident #10 to a private room as Resident #10 had not been able to have a roommate for years due to her behaviors and paranoia. Resident #10's daughter was in agreement but wanted a room that was the same as Resident #10's prior room due to Resident #10's vision impairment. Review of Resident #10's Census Information revealed Resident #10 resided in the same room since 2018 and moved rooms two times on 08/03/23.

Interview on 08/29/23 at 2:06 P.M. with Resident #10's family (Family Member #500) verified Resident #10 had a fall resulting in a fracture due to the resident's recent room change. Family Member #500 reported the family requested and had the impression the resident's new room would be the exact same set up as the original room, which is the only reason the family was agreeable to the room change.
