How often are the Long Term Care reports updated?
Under the Facility Need Review rule: " The LTC-2 is issued by the Department in the fourth month following the end of each calandar quarter." For convenience to the public, Health Standards updates all of the other reports at that time as well.
What Facility Need Review reports are posted on the web site?
1)Louisiana Inventory of Licensed, Approved and Enrolled Long Term Care Beds (LTC-1).
2) Louisiana Inventory of Nursing Home Bed Utilization (LTC-2).
3) Louisiana Inventory of intermediate Care Facilities/DD Beds (MR-1)
4) Louisiana Inventory of ICF/DD Bed Utilization (MR-2)
What is the difference between the "Bed Inventory" report and the "Bed Utilization" report?
The "Bed Inventory" report shows the number of licensed, approved, and enrolled beds for each facility and service area. The "Bed Utilization" report shows the average annual occupancy rate for the identified period for facilities and Service Areas.
