AN ACT relating to health care; making a clarification regarding

Legislative Counsel’s Digest:
Existing law provides for the licensing and regulation of medical facilities, 1
which include facilities for skilled nursing. (NRS 449.029-449.240) Existing law 2
defines a “facility for skilled nursing” to mean an establishment, except for a 3
hospital, which provides continuous skilled nursing and related care to a patient 4
who is not in an acute episode of illness and whose primary need is the availability 5
of such care on a continuous basis. (NRS 449.0039) This bill amends the definition 6
of “facility for skilled nursing” to clarify that facilities for skilled nursing provide 7
inpatient care. 8
