Summary
The facility failed to ensure that seven resident rooms (107, 108, 110, 302, 305, 306, and 307) met the required minimum square footage per resident, as specified by regulatory standards. Observations and record reviews confirmed that each of these rooms contained two beds, but the measured square footage for each room ranged from 142 to 154 square feet, which is below the required 160 square feet for double occupancy rooms (80 square feet per resident). The facility census confirmed that these rooms were occupied by two residents each during the survey period. Staff interviews revealed that an exemption had been requested from the state for these rooms, but it had not been granted at the time of the survey.
