(q) Nursing home means: (1) An independent entity (i.e., not a part of a provider of services or any other facility) or one operated by another medical entity (e.g., under the common ownership, licensure, or control of an entity) that operates for the primary purpose of providing: (i) Skilled nursing care and related services for persons who require medical or nursing care; (ii) Hospice care to the terminally ill; or (iii) Services for the rehabilitation of the injured, disabled, or sick. (2) A nursing home is subject to this regulation regardless of whether it is licensed by a Federal, State, municipal, or local government or whether it is accredited by a recognized accreditation organization. If an adverse event meets the criteria for reporting, the nursing home must report that event regardless of the nature or location of the medical service provided by the nursing home.
