Of the latest updates CMS' has made to the survey process, some of the biggest changes involve dementia care.

The updates to the Behavioral Health Services section (§483.40) states that facilities must now ensure that a resident with mental/psychological disorders is receiving appropriate care and, if necessary, receives appropriate services for their condition(s)

By Phase 3 (November 2019), facilities must provide medically related social services to the resident to maintain and enhance their psychological well-being.

Start revamping your processes now to maintain compliance and avoid financial penalties or lower five-star ratings.
