Summary
The facility failed to ensure that resident rooms met the required minimum square footage, as observed during an initial tour and confirmed through interviews and record review. Specifically, one room certified for four residents provided only 74 square feet per resident, falling short of the 80 square feet requirement, while another room certified as a private room measured only 81 square feet instead of the required 100 square feet. At the time of the survey, neither of these rooms was occupied by residents, and one was being used as a staff break room. The Administrator acknowledged that these rooms still required waivers and confirmed the square footage deficiencies during the interview.
