Product Description
The Long Term Care Survey Manual (April 2025 Edition) is essential for long term care facilities to remain compliant. In November 2024, January 2025, and March 2025, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued revised surveyor guidance and updates to Appendix PP for Long Term Care (LTC) facilities, with implementation beginning April 28, 2025. Adhering to these updates is critical for facilities to maintain compliance and ensure the highest standards of care.
