Termination and Closure of Poor Quality Nursing Homes What Are the Options

This and Related Reports

Nursing homes can be terminated from participation in Medicaid and Medicare when they pose the risk of "immediate jeopardy" to residents or when they have been out of substantial compliance with federal nursing home regulations for six months.
