Nursing Home Rule
There are 417 licensed nursing homes in the State and each one must have an administrator licensed by the N.C. Board of Examiners for Nursing Home Administrators to oversee operation of the home. A need was identified to amend the rule to clarify and eliminate ambiguous requirements for the administrator in a Nursing Home. A reference to the N.C. Board of Examiners for Nursing Home Administrators was added to clarify that an administrator must have a license or temporary license issued by the State. The administrator's compliance with the Nursing Home licensure rules was simplified. To satisfy a previous Rules Review Commission objection, language was removed for staff responsibilities for which there was no authority.

The Commission will receive those objections by mail, delivery service, hand delivery, or facsimile transmission.
