Find Care & Housing
Absolutely move her. Accept that the falls are going to happen no matter where she lives. But not informing you isn’t acceptable. My mother spent 4 years in NH care. We were never asked for banking info and had regular care conferences where any issues were addressed

Yes for her physical safety and financial safety move her.
Have as many failiar things with her like placement of the room and items so that she will feel more familiar with the new place.

I don't know if changing would be a good idea however it would seem that this NH should be reported for everything you say has happened, sorry I don't know who to report to other than the state abudsman (?) . Let the NH you are reporting the issues at hand and that if things continue you may have to take legal action which no one really wants to do cause they never know what could happen to their loved one. IF nothing changes, contact a lawyer to find out what your options are to help others that are possibly also having the same issues but no one has handled. Then you might have to and should remove your mom from this facility........but maybe only change after the abudsman(?) hasn't provided any help...then move your mom and then file charges against the home, but make sure you document EVERYTHING..........wishing you luck.

Get in touch with your state's LTC ombudsman and report what you have stated here. They will investigate. What you describe here should not be happening.

I have found the Medicare website our Medicaid website to be a wealth of information. (https://www.cms.gov)
Here's a link to get you started. Find your state & file a complaint.

And here is a list of her (and your) rights. https://downloads.cms.gov/medicare/your_resident_rights_and_protections_section.pdf
