§ 7112. Classification of Homes; Administrators and Nurses.
COL120106
(a) The Department of Public Health and Social Services shall classify
nursing homes according to character, size and range of services provided.
Wherever it considers distinction to its standards, rules and regulations to be
appropriate as among different classes of nursing homes, it may make such
distinctions.
(b) No administrator of a nursing home, and no registered nurse who
plans and directs the nursing care in a home, shall function as either
administrator or one who plans and directs the nursing care for more than
one nursing home, unless the homes involved are of a class or classes found
by the Department of Public Health and Social Services to be of a character,
size and type of operations making it reasonable for a single administrator
or registered nurse to perform such functions effectively for more than one
(1) nursing home. As part of the classifications made pursuant to this
Section, the Department of Public Health and Social Services shall
determine and fix specific limits on the number of homes of particular
classes which may be served by the same individual acting as administrator
or registered nurse responsible for planning and directing nursing care. No
such administrator or nurse shall accept employment in violation of such
limitations; nor shall the owner or administrator of a nursing home
knowingly employ any person in violation thereof. The Department of
Public Health and Social Services shall not issue or renew any nursing
home license bearing the name of an administrator, if the name of such
administrator already appears on the maximum number of nursing home
licenses permitted by its standards, rules and regulations.
