The Ohio Department of Health Approves Certificates of Need for Contiguous County Long-Term Care Bed Relocations
May 2010

As of May 11, 2010, the Ohio Department of Health has approved seven (7) applications for Certificate of Need for the relocation of long-term care beds from a contiguous county to an existing health care facility:

Each application for Certificate of Need for contiguous county bed relocation may only request up to 30 long-term care beds. The Department has determined that they cannot accept an application for a contiguous county bed relocation that would result in the existing health care facility receiving more than 30 long-term care beds through this method. Applicants for both University Park Nursing and Rehab Center and Shepherd of the Valley – Howland filed two applications for contiguous county relocations. The Ohio Department of Health accepted only one application each. The second application was returned to the applicant because it would have resulted in the facility receiving more than 30 beds from a contiguous county.
