Report 2017-109: Skilled Nursing Facilities: Absent Effective State Oversight, Substandard Quality of Care Has Continued (Release Date: May 2018)
Recommendation for Legislative Action
To ensure that Public Health's oversight results in nursing facilities improving their quality of care, the Legislature should require Public Health to conduct state and federal inspections concurrently by aligning federal and state timelines. Specifically, because federal inspections must occur no later than 15 months since the last federal inspection, the Legislature should require that state inspections occur every 30 months.
Description of Legislative Action
AB 1907 (Chapter 277, Statutes of 2022) would, among other things, extend the maximum period between inspections of skilled nursing facilities from 2 years to 30 months.
