Lack of Private Closet Space for Residents
Penalty
Summary
During an extended recertification survey, it was observed that a four-person resident room on the North Two Unit lacked adequate private closet space for each resident. Specifically, there were only three freestanding wardrobes available for four residents, resulting in one wardrobe being shared between two individuals. One resident reported that the room was originally designed for three people, but an additional person was added after staff took measurements, leading to the need to share closet space. The survey further identified a total of six four-person occupancy rooms on the unit, raising concerns about the adequacy of private storage for residents' clothing. These findings indicate that the facility did not ensure each resident had private closet space to keep their clothing separate from that of their roommates, as required by regulations.
