Summary
The facility failed to provide the required minimum square footage per resident in several rooms, as observed during a survey. Specifically, 7 out of 20 multiple resident rooms did not meet the 80 square feet per resident requirement, and 3 out of 4 single resident rooms did not meet the 100 square feet per resident requirement. Room measurements were documented, showing that some rooms designated for three residents were under the required space, and several single rooms were also below the standard. Despite these deficiencies, interviews with residents indicated that they had no complaints or issues with their room sizes, and there was no evidence that the health and safety of residents were affected by the room dimensions.
