Summary
The facility failed to ensure that one of its multiple resident rooms, Room A, met the minimum square footage requirement of 80 square feet per resident. During an observation, Room A was found to house three residents, each with their own bed, bedside table, nightstand, and wheelchair, but the total room size was only 223 square feet, which is less than the required 240 square feet for three residents. Interviews with residents and staff revealed no complaints about the room size, and all residents appeared comfortable at the time of observation. Documentation reviewed confirmed the room's measurements and current occupancy.
