NAC449.9988. Purpose and scope of ban.

     1. A ban on admissions may be imposed by the Bureau on a residential or nonresidential facility to safeguard the health, safety and well-being of recipients receiving care, treatment or services and to prevent the admission of persons who cannot adequately be served by the facility. If a ban is imposed, it applies to all new admissions, regardless of the source of payment.

     2. An immediate family member of a resident of a residential facility is not a new admission for the purposes of a ban on admissions unless the deficiencies are such that the health, safety or well-being of the immediate family member will be directly jeopardized.
