"Nursing home" shall be defined in accordance with the terms of G.S. 131E-101(6).
"Nursing home" means a facility, however named, which is advertised, announced, or maintained for the express or implied purpose of
providing nursing or convalescent care for three or more persons unrelated to the licensee. A "nursing home" is a home for chronic or
convalescent patients, who, on admission, are not as a rule, acutely ill and who do not usually require special facilities such as an operating
room, X-ray facilities, laboratory facilities, and obstetrical facilities. A 'nursing home' provides care for persons who have remedial ailments or
other ailments, for which medical and nursing care are indicated; who, however, are not sick enough to require general hospital care. Nursing
care is their primary need, but they will require continuing medical supervision.
All providers of services, including "skilled nursing facility", "extended care facility", "intermediate care facility", "convalescent nursing home
", "personal care facility", and "home care agency", shall be defined in relation to the services and facilities required to be available and the
licensure or degree status of those providing or supervising the services. The definition may require that the provider be appropriately licensed
or certified.
"Nursing facility" means an institution or a distinct part of an institution established to provide health care under the supervision of a licensed
health care practitioner and continuous nursing care for twenty-four or more consecutive hours to two or more residents who are not related to
the licensee by marriage, blood, or adoption; and who do not require care in a hospital setting.
