Facility Fails to Meet Required Room Size for Multiple Resident Bedrooms
Summary
The facility failed to meet the required 80 square feet per resident in multiple resident bedrooms for 11 of 23 resident rooms. The affected rooms included rooms 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, and 16, each measuring 224.40 square feet, which is insufficient for the number of residents they housed. This deficiency was identified through a record review of a room waiver letter dated 4/27/2024, in which the Administrator had requested a waiver for the room sizes. During an interview on 4/28/2024, the Administrator acknowledged that 22 residents were affected by the inadequate room sizes but stated that the room size did not negatively impact the residents and that there was sufficient room for the provision of nursing services for these residents.
