Nursing homes/healthcare facilities must provide at least one window to the outside in every patient sleeping room. If the building was constructed or certified after July 5, 2016, the window sill must not exceed 36 inches above the floor. This requirement is to help the patient orient to day and night, weather, and their environment outside the facility, and to emphasize a homelike environment. Facilities must confirm the window sill is 36 inches or less above the floor.
