Summary
The facility failed to provide resident rooms that meet the required minimum square footage, as determined by observation, interview, and record review. Specifically, 58 resident rooms were identified as not meeting the standard of at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple occupancy rooms and 100 square feet for single occupancy rooms. Measurements of the rooms showed that all were intended for two residents, but their sizes varied and consistently fell below the required square footage. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that 18 rooms had two residents, 39 rooms had one resident, and one room was unoccupied, but all were designed for double occupancy and did not meet the regulatory requirements for space.
