RecommendationsRegarding Nursing Homes Permit the Commissioner to suspend one or more of the bed closure incentive programs on a regional or statewide basis, if and when the supply of beds approaches the projected need for nursing home beds, and to re-activate those incentive programs in the event that the surplus of beds begins to grow. Revise the hardship county exception to the moratorium to allow construction of new beds in counties with the lowest beds/1,000 persons age 65+ ratios.
Recommendations (cont.) • Develop refinements to the Minnesota Nursing Home Report Card to include an environmental assessment or a measure of family satisfaction. • Extend the quality add-on payment. • Implement the Performance Incentive Payment Program.
