Description of Data Displayed on

For each facility
displayed on the page, the following information will be provided:
| Element |
Description |
| Name/Address/Phone |
The facility’s legal name will appear in bold. If
the facility also has other common or community known names, these
will appear above the legal name within parenthesis and in
italics. |
| Type of Ownership |
Indicates how the facility
reported to the department when completing ownership information,
such as profit, nonprofit, county, state owned or other. An example
of "other" ownership might be a facility that is owned by the
federal government. |
| Licensure Status |
Represents the current status of the Facility’s
state license. Regular means the facility has a full
license. Provisional I, Provisional II, Provisional III,
Provisional IV designate lesser status due to deficiencies
cited during the inspection process. |
| Last Inspection |
This is the date of the last
completed inspection for which the Survey Results can be found via
this web site. The survey results are placed on the web site
approximately 45 days after the conclusion of the onsite from the department. |
| Size of Facility |
Facilities are categorized based on the number of
beds each contains. Small is 0 to 119,
Medium is 120 to 269, Large is 270 or
more beds. |
| Number of Beds |
The number of currently licensed beds in the
facility. |
| Payment Options |
The methods of payment accepted by the
facility. Payment mechanisms include Private Payment

of the three payment types. |
| Nursing Hours Per Resident Per
Day |
The number of direct care staff
provided per resident each day. The state regulations
require that each facility provide 2.7 hours of direct care from the
nursing staff each day per resident. If the residents require more than the minimum number of
hours designated by the regulations, the facility is expected
to provide care based on those needs. That may be why some facilities have a
higher number of nursing hours than
others. |
