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 interview and record review, the facility failed to notify the Responsible Party, (RP- a person selected to make medical and financial decisions on the resident's behalf), of room changes for one of three residents, (Resident 1), reviewed for resident rights. As a result, the resident and RP were not given the opportunity to accept or decline the facility-initiated room change.
Findings: On 3/16/23, an interview was conducted with Resident 1's RP. The RP stated Resident 1's room had been changed about seven times, and the RP was never notified or asked if the room change was alright with them. The RP stated Resident 1 was moved one time, due to a Covid-19 outbreak (a highly contagious virus) and she was told about it after the fact, which she could accepted, but the other moves were unacceptable because they were never informed. On 3/27/23, and on 4/3/23, unannounced visits were made to the facility. Resident 1 had been discharged on 3/22/23, prior to the unannounced visits. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included aftercare for joint replacement of the right femur head (right hip), and fracture of lumbar 1-4 vertebra (lower spine) [NAME] the facility's admission Record.

On 4/3/23 at 1:55 P.M., an interview and record review was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) regarding Resident 1's room change list. The DON reviewed Resident 1's room change list, and stated the resident was moved to five different room during February and March 2023, excluding the room change due to a COVID outbreak. The DON reviewed Resident 1's Progress Notes and stated she could not find any documentation indicating the resident or the RP were notified of the room changes, which goes against their policy. The DON stated the facility divided the notifications of room changes among the licensed nurses, the case managers, and the social services workers. The DON stated it was important to notify residents and their RPs of pending room changes, so they had the right to decline or refuse the room change. The DON stated if the RP had been notified, it would have been documented in the Progress Notes, that they agreed or declined the room change. The DON stated based on her review, the room notifications were not done, which violated the resident's right.

On 4/3/23 at 1 P.M., an observation and interview was conducted with licensed nurse 1 (LN 1), inside Resident 2's room. LN 1 observed the medication left unattended on Resident 2's bedside table. LN 2 stated she administered the medication to Resident 2 earlier and was unaware he had not taken it. LN 2 believed the medication to be Gabapentin (medication for nerve pain). LN 2 stated she should have stayed with the resident to ensure it was ingested. LN 2 stated by leaving the medication unattended on the bedside table, others could have taken the medication, or it could have fallen onto the floor and would never have been administered. On 4/3/23 at 1:17 P.M., an interview was conducted with LN 2. LN 2 stated it was never acceptable to leave medication at a resident's bedside unattended. LN 2 stated anyone could have accessed the medication and taken it, which might be harmful to them. LN 2 stated medication was always to be locked up or administered with a LN present, to ensure it was swallowed. On 4/3/23 at 1:19 A.M., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated medication should never be left unattended by a LN. The DON stated anyone could pick up the medication, or it could be dropped on the floor, and the resident would never receive their medication, both of which could cause injury. On 4/3/23, Resident 2's clinical record was reviewed: According to physician's order sheet, dated April 2023, Resident 1 was not prescribed Gabapentin medication. According to the medication administration record, dated 4/3/23, Resident 1 was administered variety of medications at 9 A.M., and one tablet of Sodium Bicarbonate (an antacid) at 1 P.M.
