5 A.G. RHODES HOME WESLEY WOODS 115002 1819 CLIFTON ROAD, N.E. ATLANTA GA 30329 2017-03-23 247 D 0 1 6QM511 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview with facility staff, review of the electronic records, and review of the policy titled Room Change/Roommate Assignment, revised (MONTH) 2006, the facility failed to ensure that written notification of room change was provided before moving a resident from the third floor to the fourth floor for one of 32 sampled residents (R) (R#194). Findings include: Review of a Social service assessment dated [DATE]; the resident is coded as independent for decision making skills and understanding the need for placement and participated in the placement decision. Review of the Room Change/Roommate assignment policy, revised in (MONTH) 2006 includes in part; Prior to changing a room or roommate assignment all parties involved in the change assignment (e.g.) Residents and their representatives (sponsors) will be given a 2-day advanced notice of such change. The notice of a change in room or roommate assignment may be oral or in writing, or both, and will include the reason(s) for such change. On 3/20/2017 at 1:00 p.m., R#194 was interviewed and he reported that he was very upset at the time that he was moved to this room from the third floor. He stated this happened about three months ago and no one prepared him for a room change. The resident said, they came to me after I finished my breakfast and moved me the same day. The resident stated, They told me I had to be moved because I no longer needed therapy and I became long term care. If they do it again I will speak up for myself because that really upset me. Review of the Shift Charting Notes dated 1/16/2017 at 9:49 a.m., the resident was transferred to (a room on the fourth floor) per staff. Medications and personally belongings transferred, report given as well. Review of a General Social Services Note dated 1/12/2017 at 3:18 p.m, documents the resident is to remain for long term care. MSW left a message on voice mail of his daughter to discuss room change to the 4th floor- traditional long term care unit. Advised bed is available a telephone service would need to be established if they desire a land line, needs a dresser and TV. Requested a return call to discuss this further. Planning for change to a fourth floor room, if agreeable. On 3/22/2017 at 11:03 a.m., during interview with the Social Service Associate he confirmed that he did not receive a return call from R#194's daughter and he did not call her back, nor did he document any conversation with the resident regarding any room changes. He stated that he was off for the weekend holiday and returned on 1/17/2017 and was then notified the resident had been moved from the fourth floor on 1/16/2016. He provided the surveyor with a room change notification form dated 1/17/2017 at 9:11 a.m., the form included new room number on the fourth floor and the residents' daughters' name as being notified a day after the move occurred. 2020-09-01
