Department of Health
 

The Pennsylvania Department of Health helps to ensure that our residents at The Middletown Home Skilled Nursing Facility are provided with the highest practicable level of quality of care. They help ensure that the regulations that have been developed for skilled nursing services are understood and enforced throughout the state. The Department of Health comes by minimally once a year for an annual survey which is unannounced and typically can last 3-4 days. The administration of The Middletown Home openly communicate with the Department of Health throughout the year so that notifications and regulatory changes can be effectively communicated and initiated.

Department of Health site is useful for many different things. The most common use of the Department of Health site by long-term care consumers is the "Find a Health Care Facility". This link on the Department of Health site lists types of healthcare providers.  If you select a health care provider, it will then show a map of Pennsylvania with all the counties. If you click on a particular county, it will list all of the health care provider types that you selected for that particular county. You can then select a particular facility survey results to see how they have done and also compare them with other facilities that you might be considering.
