CMS Staffing Compliance with Facility Assessments

The Quality Manager Resident Population Profile refers to each of these as a stay in your building , no matter if it is a short term post-acute stay or a longterm residential stay . A hospital transfer or discharge to the community ends the stay , as would a resident ’ s death . The reason for counting and including all these stays is because the Facility Assessment is intended to identify the capabilities required over the course of time to take care of your residents . On any given day , your census is likely to differ — sometimes with more acutely ill residents , sometimes with more disabled residents , sometimes with short-stay residents requiring specialized care , and sometimes with residents undergoing intense rehabilitation .
