Deficiency in Resident Room Size
Summary
The facility failed to provide the required 80 square feet of floor space per resident bed for 50 residents in a sample of 63. Observations and interviews revealed that rooms in A Hall, B Hall, C Hall, and D Hall, which are all Medicaid certified, only provide 75 to 77 square feet per bed. This deficiency was confirmed by the Maintenance Director, who measured the rooms and verified the inadequate space. Despite the deficiency, no concerns or complaints were vocalized by residents regarding the room size during the survey period. The Vice President of Operations confirmed that there have been no changes to the historical measurements and accuracy of the facility's waivered resident room numbers and certifications.
