LeadingAge Guidance for Long Term Care Facilities

LA Guidance for Long-Term Care Facilities, created by LeadingAge Michigan, is a new resource tool aimed to assist you in compliance with the Mega Rule and more specifically the SNF Phase 3 changes.  This document is an online edition of the CMS revised Appendix PP, the new Appendix Z and the Life Safety Codes and also includes all federal rules alongside their specific interpretive guidance.  This PDF can be downloaded to mobile devices, like tablets and laptops, and can be searched, annotated and bookmarked.  It is best viewed with a PDF reader such as Adobe.  This is a LeadingAge member benefit and will require you to login for access.

Nursing Home Requirements of Participation (RoP) Tools

LeadingAge and state partners have contracted with Pathway, a consulting firm, to prepare the basic information you will need to understand the new regulations and update your policies and procedures. As tools are developed, states may adopt them, as appropriate, to reference state laws or regulations that may be relevant and will encourage you to do so as well. We will notify you of the availability of these tools through newsletters and listservs. Tools and resources are for LeadingAge members only. You will be required to login to access these documents through the LeadingAge website.
