Summary
The facility failed to provide the required minimum square footage per resident in all 48 resident rooms, as determined by direct measurement during a survey. Specifically, rooms with two beds measured between 149 and 156.5 square feet, and rooms with three beds measured between 220.1 and 220.9 square feet, which does not meet the regulatory requirement of at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple occupancy rooms. This deficiency was identified through observations, interviews, and record reviews, including a review of the facility's bed classification documentation. The administrator confirmed that no changes had been made to the rooms and provided a letter requesting a waiver for the room size requirement for all affected rooms.
