Skilled Nursing Facility Guidance Document – Minimum Staffing Requirements Effective 4/1/22
Disclaimer: This document has been developed in response to minimum staffing regulations found in Public Health Law 2805-b & 10 NYCRR 415.13. On July 6, 2023, the NYS Department of Health held a webinar regarding the process for minimum staffing level compliance reviews. NYSHFA is providing the following tool to assist providers requesting a penalty reduction due to mitigating factors, specifically labor supply shortages. An Acute Labor Supply Shortage in a facility’s location will be determined by the Commissioner of Health and posted on the DOH website. This document is meant to be a resource and does not guarantee a facility’s request for a penalty reduction. Prior to submitting a request for a penalty reduction to the Department it is highly recommended that you consult with your facility’s counsel on this matter. See the attached tool for further guidance. NYSHFA/NYSCAL CONTACTS: Stephen B. Hanse, Esq.
