Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on observation, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to honor a resident's right to dignity
(a person's worth as a human being, deserving of respect, honor, and fair treatment, regardless of their
situation, status, or abilities) for one out of one sampled residents (Resident 17) when Certified Nursing
Assistant 1 (CNA 1) stood over Resident 17 while assisting Resident 17 with his lunch on 1/5/2025. This
failure had the potential to cause emotional distress, affect Resident 17's self-esteem (your overall opinion
of yourself-how much you like, value, and respect yourself as a person), cause loss of dignity, and a decline
in psychosocial wellbeing (feeling good and functioning well in your life, covering your mental, emotional,
and social health).Findings: During a review of Resident 17/s admission Record, the admission Record
indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 17 on 6/10/2019 and readmitted Resident 17 on
11/24/2025 with diagnoses that included pneumonitis (swelling of lung tissue) due to inhalation of food and
vomit, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- progressive condition that affects lung function),
Diabetes Mellitus type II (a disease in which your body does not produce enough insulin needed to control
sugar levels in the blood), muscle weakness, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), major depressive disorder (a
mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest) and dementia (impaired
ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities). During a review
of Resident 17's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized resident assessment tool) dated 12/31/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 17 sometimes had the ability to understand others and sometimes had the
ability to make himself understood. The MDS indicated Resident 17 needed substantial/maximal assistance
(helper does more than half the effort and helper lifts or holds chest or arms) for eating. During a review of
Resident 17's Care Plan titled Resident has self-care deficits (unable to fully care for self) related to
generalized weakness, reduced mobility (ability to move around), cognitive (ability to think, read, learn,
remember, reason, express thoughts, and make decisions) impairment dated 11/25/2025, indicated
Resident 17 needed moderate assistance with eating. The care plan indicated an intervention (a specific
action the nursing staff takes to help a resident meet their health goals, like giving medication, repositioning
them, or providing education, all detailed in their personalized care plan to ensure consistent, effective
care) of encourage resident to do as much as possible for himself as much as possible to increase
independence. During a review of Resident 17's Order Summary Report, dated 12/31/2025, the Order
Summary Report indicated Resident 17 had an order for a regular diet pureed-4 (all food is blended,
ground, or strained into a smooth, lump-free, pudding-like consistency, requiring no chewing and making it
easier to swallow), moderately thick-3 consistency. During a review of Resident 17's PT (Physical therapy focused on restoring, maintaining, and improving movement and physical function)/OT (Occupational

Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) in Resident 17's room, CNA 1 was observed standing over Resident
17 while assisting Resident 17 with his meal. CNA 1 stated he (CNA 1) was standing over Resident 17
because the occupational therapist told CNA 1 to assist Resident 17 with eating/feeding himself (Resident
17). LVN 1 stated CNA 1 should have been sitting while helping Resident 17 with his (Resident 17) meal
and not standing over Resident 17 to provide Resident 17 with dignity. During an interview on 1/5/2026 at
11:54 AM with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated CNAs (general) had to assist
residents with their meals and had to be at the same eye level as the residents, to monitor residents for
choking. The ADON stated CNAs needed to be on the same level as the residents when assisting the
residents with their meals to provide the residents with dignity. During an interview on 1/6/2026 at 12:03 PM
with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated CNA 1 should have been at the same eye level as
Resident 17 when assisting with the lunch meal on 1/5/2026, to provide Resident 17 with dignity. The DON
stated when CNA 1 stood over Resident 17, Resident 17 could have felt overpowered (something is too
strong, intense, or dominant) by CNA 1. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/8/2026 at
9:22 AM with the DON, the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled, Assistance with Meals, dated

ability to function.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure one of five sampled residents
(Resident 5) was free from chemical restraints (a form of medical restraint in which a drug is used to restrict
the freedom of movement of a patient or in some cases to sedate the patient) by failing to: -Ensure
Resident 5's Medical Doctor obtained an informed consent (a process where someone voluntarily agrees
after fully understanding the details, including its benefits, risks, and alternatives, ensuring they can make a
free and educated decision) and to include the indication of the use of Seroquel (an antipsychotic
[medications work by altering brain chemistry] used to treat mental health conditions) to Resident 5 or
Resident 5's responsible party. This failure had the potential to restrict Resident 5's mobility
(movement).Findings:During a review of Resident 5's admission Record, the admission Record indicated
the facility admitted the Resident 5 on 6/4/2022 and readmitted Resident 5 on 5/16/2025 with diagnoses
including unspecified dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), unspecified severity,
without behavioral disturbance (acting out, agitated, aggressive or mood/personality changes), psychotic
disturbance(hallucinations or strong delusions), mood disturbance (disruptive sadness, irritability), and
anxiety disorder (excessive worry, fear, and nervousness), unspecified. During a review of Resident 5's
Order Summary Report, the Order Summary Report dated 8/11/2025, indicated Resident 5 had an order
for Seroquel 25 milligrams (mg-unit of measurement), one tablet via gastrostomy tube (G-Tube is a tube
that is placed directly into the stomach through an abdominal wall incision for administration of food, fluids,
and medications) two times a day (BID) related to unspecified dementia, unspecified severity, without
behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety. During a review of
Resident's 5 History and Physical (H&P), dated 8/13/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 5 did not have the
capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 5's Order Summary Report dated
11/14/2025, the Order Summary Report indicated to monitor Resident 5's behavior of unconsolable
screaming/yelling every shift tally (simple way of counting) by hash (strokes or lines) mark. During a review
of Resident 5's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 12/3/2025, the MDS indicated
Resident 5 was rarely/never understood had short-term and long-term memory problems and had no recall
ability. The MDS indicated Resident 5 was dependent on staff for oral and personal hygiene, bathing, rolling
left and right, and dressing. The MDS indicated Resident 5 had no potential indicators of psychosis and had
no verbal symptoms directed toward others (threatening others, screaming at others, cursing at others).
During a review of Resident 5's Facility Verification of Resident Informed Consent dated 8/11/2025, the
Facility Verification of Resident Informed Consent indicated Resident 5, resident's representative or legal
empowered representative (a person who has the legal authority to act on someone else's behalf) did not
receive an informed consent for the use of Seroquel. The Facility Verification of Resident Informed Consent
indicated there was no medical symptom (any feeling or change in your body that tells you something is
wrong) indicated for the use of the chemical restraint (using medication like sedatives or antipsychotics to
control a person's behavior, making them calmer, quieter or less mobile) and the medical doctor had not
verbally indicated informed consent had been obtained. The Facility Verification of Resident Informed
Consent indicated the signature of the medical doctor who obtained informed consent was signed on

informed consent for Seroquel as indicated on Resident 5's Facility Verification of Resident Informed
Consent for Physical Restraints, Psychotherapeutic Drug or [Prolonged Use of a Device]. RN 2 stated the
nurse received the order for Seroquel on 8/11/2025 and the physician signed the informed consent on

Nursing (DON) and RN 2 Resident 5's orders for medication Seroquel 25mg BID and the California
Department of Public Health All Facilities Letter (AFL) dated 2/28/2024 were reviewed. The DON stated
Seroquel for Resident 5 was ordered on 8/11/2025 and Resident 5 was currently on Seroquel. The DON
stated according to AFL 24-07 indicated written informed consent and disclosure (telling someone
important information they need to know to make a good decision). The DON [NAME] stated we could not
get the signature from Resident 5 or their representative. RN 2 stated to have given informed consent the
risks and benefits of medication needed to be given by the doctor. The DON stated if Resident 5 could not
have given informed consent and did not have any family or representative, the facility would have involved
the ombudsman and would have done an IDT meeting for psychotropic medication. The DON stated she
did not know who the doctor received informed consent from or had given informed consent to for Resident
5. The DON and RN2 confirmed Resident 5 was getting psychotropic medication without informed consent.
The DON and RN 2 stated they were advocates for the residents (in general). During a telephone interview

stated Resident 5 was discharged from GACH back to the facility on Seroquel. The MD stated Seroquel
was given to Resident 5 at the GACH in August 2025. The MD stated Resident 5 was given Seroquel
because he was fighting and there was concern about pulling out his G tube. The MD stated Resident 5
was discharged from the GACH with Seroquel, and it would not have been appropriate to stop the
medication upon being discharged because we were unable to get informed consent. The MD stated
Resident 5 could not give informed consent I agree with you but it's the best, it's in the best of his interest
and after discussion with the staff we did this after discussion with the staff is it's not only the physician
we've decided this is the best for the patient given the current situation. The MD stated he did not receive
consent upon admission for Resident 5's Seroquel. The MD stated, The informed consent for psychotropic
medication that it's signed by me yesterday (1/6/2026). The MD stated he's 90 something years old and
there was concern from the team and pulling out the G-tube right and you know sometimes the behavior
may not have been too much of concern but it was If he pulls out the g-tube he is going to end up in going
back to the hospital OK that's the issue we are discussing. The MD stated yesterday 1/6/2026 I signed the
informed consent myself to carry out the order from the hospital but now we can decide whether it would be
appropriate to discontinue the medication. The MD stated the informed consent form was given to him on
1/6/2026 and Seroquel was given to Resident 5 upon his admission to the facility from GACH. The MD
stated he could not explain why he did not sign the informed consent form until 1/6/2026. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 1/7/2026 at 3:35 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON) the
facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Policy and Procedure Informed Consent, dated 7/10/2025 was

first from someone for Resident 5's Seroquel. The DON stated the doctor could not explain why he signed
the informed consent form on 1/6/2026. The DON stated it was the facility's responsibility to obtain informed

Attorney for health Care Purposes, then the facility IDT team will review and make the necessary decision.
During a telephone interview on 1/8/2026 at 1:14 PM with the facility's pharmacist (PH) stated the
medication region review (MRR - a thorough check up of all medicines to make sure they are safe) for
Resident's 5's Seroquel 25mg BID was done on 9/7/2025 when Resident 5 was admitted to the facility with
the medication on 8/12/2025. The PH stated I had noticed that Seroquel 25mg BID was indicated for mood
disturbance, anxiety and dementia. The PH stated I questioned that and left a note for the psychiatrist on
9/7/2025 to address the use of the medication since it was not FDA approved for dementia and had a black
box warning (BBW- a most serious warning for prescription drugs to alert doctors and patients about the
potential life-threatening or permanently disabling risks). The PH stated Seroquel for the use of Alzheimer's
dementia was not indicated by the FDA. The PH stated on 9/7/2025 I had addressed to have clarified
Resident 5's behavior. The PH stated on 12/1/2025, he had left a note for the psychologist for a GDR, and
the reason Resident 5 was on Seroquel 25mg BID from 8/12/2025. The PH stated the DON would have my
monthly review of medication. During a telephone interview on 1/8/2026 at 1:41 PM with Medical Director
(MDIR) stated he was the new medical director. The MDIR stated in his professional history for residents
receiving psychotherapeutic medication (drugs that help managemental health conditions) GDRs were
done and made sure the psychiatrist came frequently and routinely reviewed medications to see if residents
had meet their dose reduction, and had a chance to review the psychotherapeutic medications to have
seen what was the lowest dose that could be given to prevent side effects(unwanted reaction to a
medication). The MDIR stated the best thing to have done, the most appropriate for residents (in general) to
have received psychotherapeutic medications was to have the psychiatric team provide informed consent
rather than the primary care physician. The MDIR stated medical doctors (in general) were not trained in
psychiatry and one of the purposes of the informed consent was to explain the side effects to the residents.
The MDIR stated the whole idea is the word informed, we needed to place emphasis on informed, not just
the residents, the doctor needs to be informed of what they were giving. The MDIR stated it would have
been ideal for the psychiatrist to have been the person to have prescribed Seroquel instead of the primary
care physician. The MDIR stated for Resident 5, it would have been ideal for the physician to have
consulted the psychiatrist, prescribed the medication, and have obtained informed consent if the law
allowed. The MDIR stated if Resident 5 did not have capacity(ability) to have given informed consent the
facility should have brought it up in Utilization Review( a quality check on medical care to ensure
treatments, tests and hospital tests your doctor recommends are necessary) would have been the first step,
or an IDT to have had two physicians, preferably two psychiatrists if the benefits of the medication
outweighed( more important than another) the risks. The MDIR stated If the benefit outweighed the risk,
two psychiatrists could sign the informed consent, and the medical director could have be one of the
doctors. The MDIR stated it had to be two signatures on the informed consent. The MDIR stated the proper
thing to have done would have been to have brought Resident 5's informed consent and medication
Seroquel through the bioethics committee (a diverse group of experts navigate through tough moral
questions in medicine). The MDIR stated he was willing to put aside his time and could do an in -service
(training to improve skills) for the staff since he was new to the facility and could do a policy and procedures
implementation or add an addendum (an addition or supplement to an existing document). During a review
of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Policy and Procedure Informed Consent, dated 7/10/2025,
the P&P indicated This facility shall comply with the requirements as established concerning informed
consent for all of its residents. The P&P indicated It is the policy that the physician has the responsibility to
actually obtain consent, and it is

assessment tool) Assessment for one out of three sampled residents (Resident 1) as indicated in the
facility's policy and procedures titled Resident Assessments, dated 7/31/2025. This failure resulted in the
facility not accurately identifying Resident 1's Brief Interview for Mentals Status (BIMS - an assessment tool
used by facilities to screen and identify memory, orientation, and judgement status of the resident) and
delivery of services.Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record
indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 1 on 4/1/2022 and readmitted Resident 1 on 12/2/2025
with diagnoses that included chronic combined systolic and diastolic congestive heart failure (CHF-a heart
disorder which causes the heart to not pump the blood efficiently, sometimes resulting in leg swelling),
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing), type

asked Resident 1 to recall the words sock, blue, and bed and Resident 1 was not able to recall the words.
The MDSLVN stated she pressed override (to disregard) on the assessment instead of answering the
questions correctly. The MDSLVN stated when she pressed override the questions for recalling sock, blue,
and bed automatically changed the answers to not assessed. The MDSLVN stated Resident 1's BIMS score
of 99 was not correct because the MDSLVN stated she completed Resident 1's BIMS assessment. The
MDSLVN stated she should have marked the form correctly and answered Resident 1 could not recall the
word sock, blue, and bed instead of pressing override. The MDSLVN stated Resident 1's BIMS score

Provide medically-related social services to help each resident achieve the highest possible quality of life.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to provide medically related social services, by
failing to: Advocate for and obtain a public guardian (a court-appointed, government-funded helper or
manager for adults who can't care for themselves because of severe mental or physical disabilities, often
when no family or friends are available) when the one of three sampled residents (Resident 5) was
assessed to not have the capacity to make or understand medical decisions on [DATE]. Ensure the
ombudsman (a neutral, independent advocate to find fair resolutions) was notified prior to updating a
Physician Order for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST: a form that contains written medical orders for
healthcare professionals regarding specific medical treatments that can or cannot be done at the end of
life) as per the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled POLST, updated 12/2025. This failure had the
potential not to follow Resident 5's wishes for medical care and end-of-life.Findings: During a review of
Resident 5's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on [DATE]
and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including gastrostomy (a surgical opening fitted with a device to
allow feedings to be administered directly to the stomach common for people with swallowing problems),
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing),
persistent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart beat), ventricular tachycardia (the heart's lower
chambers[ventricles] beat too fast to pump enough blood to the body), blindness in bilateral(both) eyes,
metabolic encephalopathy (a condition where brain dysfunction occurs due to a chemical imbalance in the
body), bilateral hearing loss, adult failure to thrive (a severe, rapid decline in physical and mental health),
unspecified dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), unspecified severity, anxiety
disorder (excessive worry, fear, and nervousness), unspecified. During a review of Resident's 5 History and
Physical (H&P- physician's examination of a resident, in which the physician obtains a thorough medical
history from the resident or resident representative, performs a physical examination, and then documents
the findings), dated [DATE], the H&P indicated Resident 5 did not have the capacity to understand and
make decisions. During a review of Resident 5's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a standardized resident
assessment tool), dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 5 was rarely/never understood had short-term
and long-term memory problems and had no recall ability. The MDS indicated Resident 5 was dependent
on staff for oral and personal hygiene, bathing, rolling left and right, and dressing. During an observation on
[DATE] at 10:23 AM in Resident 5's room, Resident 5 was observed lying in bed, the bed rails (are
adjustable metal or rigid plastic bars that attach to the bed) were up on both sides of the bed. Resident 5
opened his eyes when voice prompted but did not respond verbally. During an interview on [DATE] at 8:01
AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated an advance directive was a document signed by
the resident for medical care and if the resident was unable to make decisions for health care the document
would let facility staff know the next steps to take for the resident. LVN 1 stated the advanced directive
would speak for the residents if the residents could not speak for themselves. LVN 1 did not know if a
POLST was the same as an advanced directive. LVN 1 stated a referral would have to be made to social
services if a resident did not have an advanced directive. During a review of Resident 5's Resident Care
Conference Record, dated [DATE], the Resident Care Conference Record indicated an interdisciplinary
team meeting (IDT, a collaborative group of diverse health care professionals who work together)
conference was conducted secondary to (resulting from) a Change of Condition (COC- change in a
resident's health or functioning). The Resident Care Conference Record indicated Resident 5 did not attend

impairment. The record indicated Resident 5 was on hospice (compassionate care for people who are near
the end of life provided at the person's home or within a health care facility) and was not to receive CPR
(cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is an emergency life-saving procedure that is done when someone's
breathing or heartbeat has stopped). The record indicated the agent (person) responsible portion section
was blank and the IDT was attended by nursing (unspecified) and the social services director. The Resident
Care Conference Record indicated Discussed with Medical Director resident's current condition and he
concurs with IDT recommendations to discontinue hospice care. During a concurrent interview and record
review on [DATE] at 8:16 AM with the Social Worker (SW) Resident 5's POLST dated [DATE] was reviewed.
The POLST indicated a POLST was to compliment (Support) an Advanced Directive and was not intended
to replace the Advanced Directive. The SW stated a POLST was not the same as an advanced directive.
The SW stated Resident 5's POLST indicated Resident 5 was unable to sign due to cognitive impairment
as indicated on the signature portion of patient or legally recognized decisionmaker. The SW stated if a
resident was unable to sign the POLST, two doctors were supposed to sign the POLST. The SW confirmed
by stating there was only one doctor that signed the POLST on [DATE] for Resident 5. The SW stated if a
resident was incapacitated (unable to function, make decisions, or care for oneself due to illness, injury or
disability) the SSD had to find a public guardian. The SW stated, I filled out the POLST form on [DATE] and
I wrote unable to sign due to cognitive impairment and then I left the doctor to sign the form. During a
concurrent interview and record review on [DATE] at 9:01 with Registered Nurse (RN)1, Resident 5's
POLST dated [DATE] was reviewed. RN 1 stated an advanced directive and POLST were two separate
documents. RN 1 stated there was only one physician signature on the POLST and indicated Resident 5
could not sign the form for himself due to impaired cognition. RN 1 stated Resident 5 could not
communicate and had no family members and no advanced directive. RN 1 did not know if the facility had
an ethics committee (a group of diverse people [nurses, doctors, social workers, clergy, families] who help
sort out tough moral problems or disagreements about resident care, making sure choices respect the
resident's rights, dignity, and best interests, acting as advisors, not bosses, to guide fair and compassionate
decisions, especially for things like end-of-life care or consent). During an interview and record review on
[DATE] at 11:51 AM with the SW, the SW could not provide an answer and remained silent on how the
facility determined Resident 5's code status (medical instructions for facility staff about what to do if a
resident's heart or breathing stops). During an interview on [DATE] at 1:25 PM with RN 1 stated the facility
did have a bioethics committee. RN 1 stated the IDT and the bioethics committee were the same and had
the same members. RN 1 stated there was no IDT done for Resident 5 for not having an advanced directive
and for his POLST being updated on 1/18/ 2024. RN 1 stated the facility did not have a policy for
conservatorship (court appointed person[conservator]to make important decisions for another
adult[conservatee]). RN 1 stated the ombudsman should have been included in the decision to change the
POLST for Resident 5. During a concurrent interview and record review on [DATE] at 12:46 PM with the
Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 5's POLST and the facility policy and procedures (P&P) titled, POLST,
updated 12/2025 was reviewed. The DON stated if a resident did not have any family or elected
representative, the facility would have an IDT meeting and discuss the diagnosis and the plan. The DON
stated if a resident did not have a family member, a friend, or designated representative the facility was to
contact a public guardian or another conservatorship. The DON stated a new POLST was signed for
Resident 5 on [DATE] for CPR and full treatment. The DON stated the facility should have tried to obtain a
public guardian or conservatorship for Resident 5. The DON stated the facility should have also invited the
ombudsman to join and discussed the advanced directive during the care

observation and interviews, the facility failed to ensure 10 out of 18 (room [ROOM NUMBER], 3, 4, 5, 6, 12,
15, 18, 23, and 24) resident rooms met the required 80 square feet per resident.This deficient practice had
the potential to result in inadequate space necessary to provide safe nursing care and privacy for
residents.Findings: During a review of the facility's room wavier letter dated 1/5/2026, the letter indicated
the facility was requesting a room variance (room size different from required amount) for 11out of 18
resident rooms (room [ROOM NUMBER], 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 23, and 24). The room waiver letter
indicated the following rooms had less than 80 square feet per bed:Room NumberFloor AreaCapacityroom

needs of the residents and would not inhibit residents from getting in and out of wheelchairs and affording
sufficient freedom of movement. The space of each room would not have adverse effect on the residents'
health and safety; and would not impede the ability of any resident in the rooms to attain his/her highest
practicable well-being. The room wavier letter indicated all measures would be taken to ensure the comfort
of each resident, staff, and visitor and would not be compromised by the facility's existing room square
footage. During an observation on 1/8/2026 at 12:40PM, the Maintenance supervisor (MS) measured
rooms [ROOM NUMBERS]. The rooms measured as follows:room [ROOM NUMBER].62room [ROOM
NUMBER].12 During multiple observations of nursing care conducted on 1/8/2026 in rooms [ROOM
NUMBERS], nursing staff were observed with adequate space to provide care to the residents in each
resident room [ROOM NUMBER] and room [ROOM NUMBER]. Each resident was observed to have
privacy curtains, working call-lights, storage, and a bedside table with personal belongings stored in each
resident's choice of location. During an interview on 1/8/2026 at 9:51am with Resident 90 in room [ROOM
NUMBER] bed A, Resident 90 stated the room was big enough to accommodate him (Resident 90) and his
wife. The Resident stated the size of the room has never stopped care of services from being completed.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/8/2026 at 9:34am, the surveyor and occupational
therapist (OT) toured the resident rooms listed with room waivers (1,3,5,9,10,11,14,16,17,23, and 24). The
OT stated that she had sufficient space within the rooms that had room waivers to give care and complete
the residents' plan of care. During an Interview on 1/8/2026 at 10:00am with Resident 10 in room [ROOM
NUMBER] the resident stated that she had not noticed that the room was smaller than other rooms. The
resident states that the room is big enough, and nursing care has never been compromised. A review of the
facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled Resident bedrooms revised on 8/2024, the policy indicated
resident bedrooms had to be designed and equipped for adequate nursing care, comfort and privacy of
resident and would measure at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple resident bedrooms The
Department is recommending continuation of the room waiver request.
