Facility Fails to Meet Minimum Room Size Requirements
Summary
The facility failed to provide the required minimum square footage per resident bed in multiple resident bedrooms for 13 out of 80 residents. Specifically, seven resident bedrooms were found to provide only 77.1 square feet per resident bed, with each room measuring 15 feet 2 inches by 10 feet 2 inches. These rooms, numbered 105, 106, 107, 117, 118, and 119, are two-bed rooms certified for Medicaid/Medicare. Additionally, three other resident bedrooms provided only 74 square feet per resident bed, with room dimensions of 15 feet 3 inches by 21 feet, and included wardrobes measuring 23 inches by 63 inches and 24 inches by 94 inches. These rooms, numbered 225, 227, and 228, are also certified for Medicaid/Medicare. The Director of Nursing (DON) stated that the facility considers room size and bed size when assigning rooms to residents upon admission, ensuring a safe and clutter-free environment. Despite the undersized rooms, there were no complaints from residents regarding room size, nor were there any infection control concerns related to the room size.
