Nursing homes and other healthcare facilities must provide one or more rooms for resident dining and activities that are well-lit, well-ventilated, adequately furnished, and have sufficient space for all activities. These rooms must be suitable for tasks performed by residents and provide good air circulation and smoke exhaust removal. Furnishings must accommodate different physical and social needs, and the space must be adaptable for all intended uses. Nursing homes and healthcare facilities must also ensure that residents and staff have maximum flexibility in arranging furniture to accommodate residents with mobility aids and that there is no resident crowding. These new requirements will ensure that nursing homes and healthcare facilities provide a safe and comfortable environment for their residents.
