Resident 1 stated the facility informed her that she needed to move because they will turn her room as an isolation (apart from others) room. Resident 1 further stated that the facility did not orient her in her new room and Resident 1 was having a hard time to maneuver in the bathroom, room, and keep bumping to her extra dresser because her closet was too small compared to her previous room and she was blind. Resident 1 further stated that she feels that the facility did not care about her by putting her in the farthest room in the very far back of the building because staff know that she was blind.
