Deficiency in Resident Room Size Compliance
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate room sizes for residents, as required by regulations. Specifically, the facility did not ensure that resident bedrooms measured at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple-resident rooms and at least 100 square feet in single-resident rooms. This deficiency was observed in 7 out of 50 resident rooms, namely Rooms 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 35. The measurements of these rooms were found to be below the required square footage per resident, with room sizes ranging from approximately 72.84 to 75.43 square feet per resident in two-person rooms, and 73.06 square feet per resident in a three-person room. During an interview, the Administrator acknowledged that the dimensions of the specified rooms were less than the required 80 square feet per resident. The facility expressed a desire to continue with a room size waiver for these rooms and indicated that they would provide the state surveyor with the waiver documentation. The record review showed that a total of 10 residents were living in the affected rooms at the time of the survey.
