Space Deficiency in Resident Rooms
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that each resident bedroom provided the required 80 square feet of usable living space per resident. During the survey period, it was observed that four different rooms, specifically rooms 106, 108, 110, and 119, housed four residents each, with each resident having less than the mandated 80 square feet of space. Room 106 provided 79.5 square feet per resident, room 108 provided 73.7 square feet, room 110 provided 75 square feet, and room 119 provided 79.2 square feet per resident. Despite the space deficiency, the rooms were noted to meet the residents' needs in terms of privacy, storage, and accessibility for nursing care and mobility. The report suggests that the health and safety of the residents were not adversely affected by the space limitations, and a waiver for the space requirement was recommended to continue.
