Locating nursing home regulations for your state can be confusing. A new project from the University of Minnesota School of Public Health is compiling the regulations at their site: Nursing Home Regulations Plus. As they explain on their site:
With funding from the
Hulda B. and Maurice L. Rothschild Foundation,
researchers at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health
created this website to make transparent the realities of state nursing
home regulation.This
searchable website will serve as a one-stop location to examine and
compare the content of state regulations related to nursing homes, the
processes of regulation and exceptions to regulations within a state,
recent state changes, innovative nursing-home designs and programs that
were accomplished within existing regulations, and innovative state
regulatory initiative.Use this location in multiple ways:
–learn about regulations governing a particular state
–learn about a particular topic nationwide
–consult federal regulations and related codes
–check out the art of the possible
–the effects of federal and state agencies
–what providers are developing within existing regulations
–coalitions in states
–related publications and research
