Question

Long-term care facilities provide both medical and personal support services to patients who are unable to live independently. Thus, independent living and group homes or assisted living communities are long-term care organizations but not healthcare organizations. For example, assisted living communities may offer coordination of healthcare-relevant services such as medication administration, incontinence program or physical therapy. When preparing your post, address the following: Identify one federal, state or local regulation affecting a long-term care facility regulated by the Department of Health and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Pick a real community. Apply the identified regulations to that organization. Discuss the importance of facility compliance with the regulations and the impact of non-compliance on this facility operations.
