On 11/18/24 during the required annual inspection, LPA discussed with licensee providing sufficient space for residents to use for activities and leisure. The facility's living room is currently occupied by licensee's alleged non-resident client and being used as a bedroom.

When LPA opened the door, the alleged non-resident client was present eating a meal in the recliner. The room had not been cleared of the alleged non-resident client belongings or bed. LPA asked licensee why the room had not been cleared out and made for resident use like the plan of correction required be done by 12/9/24.
