Cities and counties must use state terms

Starting July 1, 2025, cities and counties use specific state names for certain facility types, like a facility for skilled nursing, group foster home, and recovery house. This is for naming only. Local governments do not have to use the state’s regulatory definitions. They can skip a term if that facility type does not exist locally or their ordinances never refer to it.

New skilled nursing definition; existing sites stay

Beginning July 1, 2025, a “facility for skilled nursing” means an inpatient site that gives continuous skilled nursing and related care a doctor prescribes for patients not in an acute illness. Hospitals are still excluded. Any site that, on June 30, 2025, was treated as a skilled nursing facility, nursing home, or similar under a local ordinance keeps that status under any new local rules after July 1, 2025. This protects existing facilities while new or reclassified sites must meet the updated definition.
