Inadequate Room Size and Space in Facility
Summary
The facility failed to provide the minimum required square footage per resident in multiple resident bedrooms and single resident rooms for 11 out of 20 rooms. Specifically, rooms 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 18, 19, and 20 did not meet the regulatory requirements of at least 80 square feet per resident in shared rooms and 100 square feet in single rooms. This deficiency was identified during an environmental tour with the Maintenance Director. The lack of adequate space had the potential to compromise residents' privacy and space for ambulation and nursing care. Additionally, certain rooms lacked sufficient closet and storage space, and accessibility for wheelchairs and toilet facilities was inadequate in some instances. The report suggests that a waiver should continue except for the room that did not meet the necessary conditions, although specific room numbers were not provided for these exceptions.

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.
