How often must a facility provide evidence of nondiscriminatory practices?

The requirement for a facility to provide evidence of nondiscriminatory practices every 3 years aligns with federal regulations that aim to ensure equal treatment and access to services for all individuals. This interval allows facilities to periodically review and assess their policies and practices, as well as make necessary updates to ensure compliance with relevant laws. By requiring evidence of nondiscriminatory practices every three years, the focus remains on creating a supportive environment that respects the rights and dignity of all residents, while also providing adequate time to implement and measure the effectiveness of any changes made. This timeframe balances the need for regular oversight with realistic operational capabilities for nursing homes.
