The commissioner may approve modifications or deletions in space requirements set forth in this Subpart when nursing home services or facilities are permitted to be shared. The sizes of the various departments will depend upon program requirements and organization of services within the facility. Some functions requiring separate spaces or rooms may be combined, provided that the resulting plan will not compromise the best standards of safety and of medical and nursing practices.
