Room Size Deficiency in Multiple Resident Rooms
Summary
The facility failed to provide at least 80 square feet per resident in 52 of 84 resident rooms, as required by federal regulations. Specifically, rooms 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 109, 110, 114, 116, 118, 120, 121, 122, 134, 137, 138, 141, and 142 were found to be deficient in this regard. The rooms in question had varying sizes but did not meet the minimum square footage requirements for the number of residents they housed. For example, rooms with three beds should have at least 240 square feet, but many of these rooms were significantly smaller. This deficiency was identified through observation, interviews, and record reviews during a recertification survey conducted from April 1 to April 4, 2024. Despite the deficiency, resident interviews indicated no concerns regarding the size of the rooms, and observations showed that residents had ample space to move freely and that there was sufficient space for nursing staff to provide care. The facility had submitted a Request for Room Size Waiver, arguing that the room sizes did not impede resident care or safety. During an interview, the administrator confirmed that a written request for the continued room waiver had been submitted. Measurements taken by the Maintenance Supervisor confirmed the room sizes, and it was noted that the measurements did not include any protrusions from the walls. The report recommends the continuation of the room size waiver.

Summary
The facility failed to provide single resident rooms with at least 100 square feet of living space, as required. During a survey, it was confirmed through interview with the Administrator and review of the space/occupancy certification waiver that six single rooms, each occupied by a resident, measured less than the required 100 square feet. The specific room sizes ranged from 91.50 to 97.75 square feet. This deficiency affected six residents who were residing in these undersized single rooms at the time of the survey.
