The Department of Public Health has issued an informational memorandum further clarifying the Department’s December 2018 Circular Letter regarding the process for Long Term Care Facility (LTCF) beds out of service, including the procedures for temporary and permanent removal of beds. The Department in Spring 2019 subsequently issued an FAQ to help clarify some of the most frequently asked questions about the new process for taking beds out of service or reactivating out of service beds in open long-term care facilities.
