Deficiency in Room Size Requirements
Summary
The report identifies that several multi-resident rooms in the facility provided less than the required 80 square feet per resident. Specifically, rooms in [NAME] Hall and [NAME] Hall were found to have square footage per bed ranging from 72 to 75 square feet, which is below the regulatory requirement. Despite this deficiency, it was observed that the staff and residents were able to move freely within the rooms, and both parties stated that the room sizes were not a concern. The report recommends the continuance of the room waiver based on these observations.
