The nursing home must ensure that facilities with outpatient programs provide:

(1) A designated reception and waiting room or area and space for interviewing or counseling individual outpatients and their families;

(2) Adequate space for the program so that disruption to designated resident care units is minimized;

(3) Accessible toilet and shower facilities nearby;

(4) Lockers or a safe place to store outpatient personal belongings;

(5) A separate room or area for hydrotherapy tanks, or the equivalent, if provided; and

(6) In new construction, required access must come from the exterior without passing through the interior of the facility.
