Deficiency in Resident Room Size
Summary
The facility was found to have 34 resident rooms with multiple beds that did not meet the required minimum of 80 square feet per resident. The rooms in question included numbers 100, 102, 104, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 116, 118, 200, 202, 204, 208, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, and 225. The square footage per resident in these rooms ranged from 71.18 to 79.06 square feet, which is below the regulatory requirement. This deficiency was identified through observations conducted between July 15 and July 18, 2024. Despite the deficiency in room size, observations during the same period indicated that there was sufficient space for the provision of care, and no heavy equipment was present in the rooms that could interfere with resident care. Each resident had adequate personal space and privacy, and there were no complaints from residents regarding insufficient space for their belongings. Additionally, there were no negative consequences or safety concerns reported as a result of the decreased space in these rooms.
