Summary
The facility failed to ensure that 14 resident rooms, each housing two residents, met the required minimum of 80 square feet per resident in multi-bed rooms. On observation, one such room was measured at only 75 square feet per resident. This deficiency was identified through direct observation, interviews, and record review by surveyors. The affected rooms were located in a section of the facility built in 1958, and the Administrator acknowledged that these rooms did not meet the current size requirements. Despite the deficiency, surveyors noted that the room sizes did not compromise the health and safety of the residents at the time of the survey.
