Single Resident Rooms Below Minimum Size Requirement
Penalty
Summary
Two single resident rooms, specifically Rooms 17 and 18, did not meet the minimum required size of 100 square feet for single occupancy as mandated by regulations. Facility-provided documentation confirmed that these rooms measured 93.2 and 92 square feet, respectively. The facility census indicated that these rooms were occupied at the time of the survey. During interviews and observations, one resident expressed no concern about the room size, while another stated a preference for a larger room but did not report any negative impact from the current size. Staff interviews, including with the Plan Operations Director and the Administrator, confirmed that there had been no changes to the square footage of these rooms since the last recertification survey. Both staff members acknowledged that the rooms in question did not meet the regulatory requirements for single resident room size. The deficiency was identified through observation, interview, and record review, with no evidence of negative impact on the residents at the time of the survey.
