Deficiency in Resident Room Size Requirements
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that bedrooms measured at least 80 square feet per resident in five of the 18 resident rooms reviewed for required square footage. Specifically, rooms numbered 300, 306, 308, 309, and 310 did not meet the required space per resident. This deficiency was identified through observation, interview, and record review. During an interview, the Administrator acknowledged that no structural changes had been made to the building and mentioned a previous waiver granted for these rooms. The facility's bed classification worksheet and census report confirmed that these rooms were part of the secured unit, which housed eight residents, although the specific rooms in question were not occupied at the time of the survey.
