TOPIC: NURSING FACILITY PLACEMENTS
Placement in a nursing facility is appropriate only when the individual’s needs meet minimum standards for admission and when his or her need for treatment does not exceed the level of nursing facility services, either through nursing facility services alone or with additional specialized services.
