Deficiency in Resident Room Space Requirements
Summary
The facility was found to have seven resident rooms with multiple beds that did not meet the required space of at least 80 square feet per resident. Each of these rooms had three beds with a total area of 238 square feet, resulting in only 79.33 square feet per bed. This deficiency was identified through observation, interview, and record review. Despite the insufficient space, observations from 10/21/24 through 10/24/24 indicated that there was adequate space for the provision of care, no heavy equipment was present that could interfere with care, and residents had sufficient personal space and privacy. There were no complaints from residents about space for their belongings, and no negative consequences or safety concerns were noted due to the decreased space in these rooms.
