Summary
The facility failed to ensure that 11 out of 12 resident rooms met the required minimum of 80 square feet per resident in multiple occupancy rooms, as determined through observation, interview, and record review. The Client Accommodation Analysis and a room waiver request provided by the Maintenance Director and DON confirmed that the majority of rooms were below the required square footage per resident, with calculations showing most rooms ranged from approximately 71.66 to 78.44 square feet per resident. During general observations, it was noted that both residents and staff had enough space to move about freely, and nursing staff were able to provide care with adequate space for beds, side tables, dressers, and care equipment.
