Insufficient Room Size in A-Wing Single Resident Rooms
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that 13 single resident rooms on the A-wing had at least 100 square feet of usable floor space for 6 residents who were occupying those rooms, including A24, A25, A27, A33, A35, and A36. During the entrance conference, the DON confirmed the rooms in hallway A did not meet the required square footage. During the initial screening on the A-wing, those rooms were observed to be occupied by residents. In interviews, one resident stated that staff care was not inhibited by the room size, and an RN reported she was not aware of any resident complaints related to room size. The Administrators stated they had no requests for room moves or complaints that rooms were too small from current residents, and they reported they would accommodate any resident request for more space as allowed. The facility also reported that it had previously moved a resident to a larger room at family request so a large family could visit together. A policy on room size was requested but not received.

Summary
The facility failed to provide single resident rooms with at least 100 square feet of living space, as required. During a survey, it was confirmed through interview with the Administrator and review of the space/occupancy certification waiver that six single rooms, each occupied by a resident, measured less than the required 100 square feet. The specific room sizes ranged from 91.50 to 97.75 square feet. This deficiency affected six residents who were residing in these undersized single rooms at the time of the survey.
