Resident Rooms Below Required Square Footage Standards
Summary
The facility failed to provide the required minimum square footage per resident in six out of fifteen resident rooms, as determined through observation, interviews, and record review. Specifically, rooms were found to have less than 80 square feet per resident in multiple occupancy rooms and less than 100 square feet in single occupancy rooms. The review of facility bed count information with the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that several rooms, including those with two to four beds, did not meet the required space standards. Although residents interviewed did not express specific complaints or health and safety concerns, the deficiency was identified based on the physical measurements and occupancy of the rooms.
