Resident Room Size Below Regulatory Standards
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to meet the regulatory requirement to provide at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple occupancy rooms. A review of the Client Accommodation Analysis form dated 5/5/2025 revealed that multiple rooms, each housing three residents, measured only 210 square feet, which is less than the required 240 square feet for three residents. This deficiency was identified through documentation review and was further confirmed during room observations conducted by surveyors. During interviews, the facility administrator acknowledged the deficiency and requested a continuance of a previously granted waiver for room size requirements. Despite the room size shortfall, observations conducted over several days did not reveal any adverse effects on residents' privacy, health, or safety that could be directly attributed to the room dimensions at the time of the survey.
