Abstract
The care given in the nursing facility takes place as part of the continuum of long-term care and the broader healthcare system. This section provides background on the nursing facility industry and information on several of the laws of which the administrator must be aware while operating a facility. The nursing facility is part of a continuum of caregiving. The section provides information about other providers in the healthcare field. The everyday life of the facility takes place within the rules set by Medicare and Medicaid, labor laws, occupational safety laws, the Life Safety Code, and the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for facilities. The nursing facility resident population is heavily dependent on the nursing facility staff, especially the nursing assistants. The section details some of the outside groups and organizations that may directly or indirectly impact the lives of nursing facility administrators.
