F918 Bedrooms Equipped/Near Lavatory/Toilet

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The 2025 updates to Appendix PP, F918, require each resident bedroom in certain facilities to have its own bathroom with at least a sink and commode/toilet. This applies to facilities newly certified, constructed, or changing ownership after November 28, 2016. Only up to two residents per bedroom are allowed, including shared "Jack and Jill" bathrooms for conjoined rooms. During public health emergencies, some requirements may be waived under Section 1135. Facility leaders should review and update policies, ensure staff compliance, and audit rooms for adherence. Additional resources are available via the State Operations Manual and Life Safety Code links provided.
