What can be done if an ACF resident does require skilled nursing care?
The rules allow for that skilled care to be given on a part-time, intermittent basis for not more than a total of 120 days in any 12-month period. However, this care can only be provided by certified home health agency personnel coming into the facility; by a licensed hospice care program; by a nursing home under certain conditions; or a qualified professional employed by a mental health board or agency where the resident involved is a mentally-ill person referred by that agency. Persons requiring continuous skilled nursing care and those physically or mentally incapable of administering their own medications should not be in an adult care facility. 5. Where do I find the regulations that apply to adult care facilities? Adult care facilities are licensed and regulated under Chapter 3722. of the Revised Code and Chapter 3701-20. of the Ohio Administrative Code.
