An empty open box was observed in the room, and multiple papers were stacked on top of one another on the floor under the curtain. The call light cord was observed underneath the bedside table on the floor to the right of Resident 2's bed and was not within the resident's reach. During an interview with Resident 2 on 12/30/2025 at 10:31 a.m. in Resident 2's room, Resident 2 stated, the facility will not help her with placing the boxes in her storage unit or give her additional boxes to place items in and get ready to move them out of the room.
