Failure to Meet Minimum Room Size Requirements
Summary
The facility failed to provide the minimum required living space of at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple occupancy rooms for two out of 29 rooms, specifically rooms 14 and 17. During an environmental tour with the Maintenance Supervisor, it was observed that these rooms, each housing four residents, measured 292 and 289 square feet respectively, which is below the regulatory requirement. Despite this, the report notes that variations were made according to the particular needs of the residents, and that privacy, storage, bedside stands, space for nursing care, ambulation, and accessibility to wheelchairs and toilet facilities were adequate at the time of the survey.
