Summary
The facility failed to provide the required minimum of 80 square feet per resident in a multiple occupancy room, as identified in one of the 34 rooms reviewed. During the entrance conference, the Administrator in Training acknowledged that the room in question required a variance waiver to accommodate three residents, but the waiver had been applied for and not granted. Documentation provided by a Registered Nurse confirmed that the room measured only 70.29 square feet per resident. Additionally, the Regional Consultant stated that the facility did not have a room variance policy and was following federal regulations.
