Deficiency in Resident Room Space Requirements
Summary
The facility failed to comply with the requirement of providing at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple resident bedrooms, as observed during the annual recertification survey. The Client Accommodations Analysis Form (CAAF) completed by the facility on February 15, 2025, revealed that 83 rooms did not meet the required space per resident. These rooms were identified as having less than 80 square feet per resident, which could potentially impact the quality of care, privacy, and quality of life for the residents. Despite this, during the survey, no immediate concerns or problems with privacy, safety, and residents' care were observed, and the Administrator reported no complaints from residents regarding room crowding or mobility issues. The facility plans to request a room waiver.
