Civil Penalty Fund dollars can be reinvested in programs to benefit residents of skilled nursing facilities Money is available from the federal government to help nursing homes launch programs that will protect residents’ safety and improve their quality of life.
Monetary penalties collected from skilled nursing facilities for violations of federal regulations are partially reinvested by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to support such activities by facilities or organizations. Examples of activities at Nevada skilled nursing facilities that have received funding include programs addressing antibiotic stewardship and enhancement of memory using music. (These funds cannot be used to fund or supplement funding for anything already required by federal regulations.) To apply for these funds, complete an application available at the Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance’s Skilled Nursing Facility web page. Scroll down to the orange “Apply for Civil Penalty Funds to Improve Patient Care” header where you’ll find more information in addition to a link to the application.
