Non-Compliance with Resident Room Size Requirements
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide the required minimum of 80 square feet per resident in multiple occupancy rooms and 100 square feet for single occupancy rooms in 12 out of 22 resident rooms, as determined by observation, interview, and document review. During the survey, it was confirmed that rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 23 were set up to accommodate three residents each, despite not meeting the square footage requirements. A previous waiver for reduced bedroom sizes granted by CMS was reviewed, and there had been no physical expansion of the rooms since the last survey. Residents in these rooms were observed to have reasonable privacy, sufficient space for personal belongings, and no complaints regarding room size were reported.
