Based on observations, clinical record review, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure the right to receive written notice, including the reason for the change, before the resident's room in the facility is changed for one of one resident reviewed (Resident 6).Findings include: Review of Resident 6's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD - a chronic condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus). Observation conducted of Resident 6 on February 18, 2026, revealed the Resident was residing in the locked dementia unit. Interview conducted with Resident 6 on February 18, 2026, at approximately 1:00 PM, revealed the Resident did not give consent to move rooms and was not provided with a written notice of the room change. Interview conducted with Employee 4 (Social Worker) on February18, 2026, at 1:25 PM, revealed that staff reported to him Resident 6 was going to get his money and car, and was going to leave the facility, so Employee 4 met with Resident 6, and Resident 6's POA (Power of Attorney) and decided to have Resident 6 move to the locked unit due to being an elopement risk. Employee 4 confirmed that Resident 6 had a wander guard on, however, the facility had issues in the past where residents walked out of the facility wearing a wander guard and, at the end of the day, did not want to put anything to chance. Employee 4 revealed that prior to the room change, Resident 6 was not having any issues in the room he was previously in. Review of Resident 6's admission MDS (Minimum Data Set is part of the federally mandated process for clinical assessment of all Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing homes), revealed that Resident 6 has a BIMS (Brief interview of Mental Status) of 15, indicating normal thinking and memory. Review of Resident 6's clinical record revealed a progress note written on February 13, 2026, at 4:03 PM, that the Resident changed rooms. Review of Resident 6's clinical record revealed a progress note written on February 14, 2026, at 8:26 AM, that Resident 6 was upset and did not agree with the room change. During an interview conducted with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on February 18, 2026, at approximately 1:45 PM, it was revealed that it was a late Friday afternoon and Resident 6 was upset and wanted to leave, so they decided to put Resident 6 in a locked unit, so he was not able to do so. NHA confirmed Resident 6 was wearing a wander guard. The facility was unable to provide a room change notification document that was provided to Resident 6 prior to changing rooms on February 13, 2026.
