Room Size Deficiency in Resident Accommodations
Summary
The facility failed to meet the minimum room size requirements for resident accommodations in Building 1 and Building 2. Specifically, six out of twenty-four resident rooms did not comply with the mandated space of at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple occupancy rooms. In Building 1, four rooms with two residents each provided only 75 square feet per resident, totaling 150 square feet per room. In Building 2, two rooms with four residents each provided 64.5 and 66.75 square feet per resident, totaling 258 and 267 square feet respectively. Despite these deficiencies, the variations in room size did not adversely affect the residents' health, safety, quality of care, or quality of life during the survey. A continuance of the room size waiver for all affected rooms was recommended.
