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.

Facilities submit plans of correction separately to their state survey agency and those responses may not appear in CMS public data at the time of release. The absence of a plan of correction in this report does not mean one was not filed.
