Honor the resident's right to share a room with spouse or roommate of choice and receive written notice
before a change is made.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled
resident's (Resident 3's) rights were exercised when the resident was moved to another room without
advance notice.
This failure resulted in a violation of Resident 3's rights and left the resident confused.
Findings:
Review of Resident 3's medical record, admission RECORD, indicated the resident was admitted to the
facility in the spring of 2024 with diagnoses that included heart problems. The admission Record indicated
Resident 3 was his own responsible party (RP).
In an interview on 8/6/24 at 11:15 a.m., Resident 3 was in his wheelchair near the door of a room in the
hallway. Resident 3 stated he was being moved to the room at that time and stated he did not know why he
was moving. Resident 3 stated someone came in his room that morning and said, You're moving, while
clapping his hands. Resident 3 said he did not receive any notification regarding the room change, did not
know where his new room was, or who the new roommate would be and still had not met the roommate.
Resident 3 stated, I did not give my consent to the room change and indicated staff were packing his stuff
while he was waiting outside his new room to be moved in. Resident 3 stated that he might be being moved
because he did not get along well with one of the staff.
Review of the facility's May 2027 revised policy and procedure, Room Change/Roommate Assignment,
stipulated, Prior to changing a room or roommate assignment all parties involved in the change/assignment
(e.g., residents and there representatives (sponsors)) will be given advance notice of such change
.Advance notice .will include why the change is being made and any information that will assist the
roommate in becoming acquainted with his or her new roommate.
In an interview on 8/6/24 at 12:30 p.m., in the conference room, the Administrator stated Resident 3 was
moved to another room with a male resident at the request of the facility for a new female resident
admission. The Administrator stated the room change should have been discussed with the resident and
consent obtained from the resident prior to the room change. The Administrator stated the room change for
Resident 3 was discussed during the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) stand up meeting that morning. The
Administrator stated resident's room changes were handled by the Social Services and verified that
Resident 3 had no history of false accusation.
In a concurrent interview and record review on 8/6/24 at 1:05 p.m. in the conference room, the Social
Service Director (SSD) stated it was the facility policy to ask the resident or the resident

representative for verbal consent before or upon a room change. The SSD indicated the facility did not use
any consent form for the resident/RP to sign but the SSD documented regarding the room change notice,
RP consent and the follow up notes of the resident's room change adjustment in the resident medical
record. In a concurrent review of Resident 3's medical record, there was no documented evidence that the
facility provided a written or verbal notice of the room change to Resident 3. There was no documented
evidence that the SSD explained why the room change was required or offered the resident an opportunity
to see his new room and/or to meet his roommate and to ask questions about the move. There was no
documentation whether Resident 3 had consented to the room change. The SSD verified the record review
findings for Resident 3 and stated the room change for the resident was first discussed that morning during
the IDT meeting. The SSD stated the IDT meeting started at 9:30 a.m. that morning.
