Rehabilitation facilities shall be constructed to maintain a safe and functional physical environment for all services that the licensed operator of the rehabilitation facility provides. The sizes of the various departments shall depend upon the program requirements and the organization of services within the facility. Some functions allotted separate spaces or rooms in these minimum requirements may be combined if the best standards of safety and patient care are not compromised. Some of the areas may be omitted from the facility if the necessary services are conveniently available elsewhere.
