What is the minimum general storage space required per bed?

The minimum general storage space required per bed is 10 square feet. This standard is established to ensure that there is adequate space for the personal belongings of residents, as well as necessary supplies and equipment that support their care and comfort. Sufficient storage promotes an organized living environment, contributing to the overall quality of life for the residents. Providing at least 10 square feet per bed supports both individual privacy and the efficient operation of the facility, allowing for easy access to items without overcrowding the living space. This requirement reflects a commitment to the proper care of residents and adherence to best practices in nursing home management.
