Inadequate Living Space in Resident Bedrooms
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate living space in resident bedrooms, as required by regulations. During an observation, it was found that multiple resident bedrooms, each housing three residents, did not meet the minimum space requirement of 80 square feet per resident. Specifically, rooms 6, 7, and 8 were measured at 12 feet and 5 inches by 18 feet and 3 inches, resulting in only 75.5 square feet per resident after excluding the space occupied by movable wardrobes. This issue was consistent across 29 multiple resident bedrooms in the facility. Interviews with family members of residents occupying these rooms revealed concerns about the limited personal space available to the residents. Family members expressed that the space was tight and that residents needed more personal space to live comfortably.
