Facility Fails to Meet Room Size Requirements
Summary
The facility failed to provide the required 80 square feet of floor space per resident for 38 out of 38 residents reviewed for room size in a sample of 55. The rooms in question, specifically rooms 100-109, 111, 201-209, and 211, are certified as two-bed rooms but measure only 12 feet by 12 feet, equating to 144 square feet, which is approximately 72 square feet per resident bed. This deficiency was confirmed through observations, interviews, and record reviews conducted by the surveyors. Despite the deficiency, several residents, including those in rooms 50, 51, 56, 11, and 35, expressed no concerns regarding the room size and were alert and oriented to person, place, and time. Additionally, the Resident Council Meeting Minutes from July 2024 through January 2025 documented no concerns regarding the size of resident rooms. The facility's daily roster confirmed that the affected residents resided in the rooms that did not meet the required space standards.
