How many bathtubs or showers are required for a facility with 3 to 22 residents?

In facilities with a resident capacity of 3 to 22, the regulations specify that a minimum of one bathtub or shower is required. This guideline is designed to ensure that residents have adequate access to bathing facilities while considering the size of the resident population. The intent is to balance the residents' needs with the operational capabilities of the facility.

Having just one bathing facility is typically sufficient for this size range, as it allows for reasonable access without overwhelming usage demands. Also, regulations are tailored to promote safety and accessibility while being mindful of space and resource limitations that smaller facilities may face.

As the number of residents in a facility increases, so do requirements for bathing facilities; but for a small group of 3 to 22 residents, the provision of one bathtub or shower is aligned with these operational standards ensuring both comfort and practicality.
