These figures are posted here because the proposed amendments to Section 709.3 would no longer list the county-specific RHCF bed numbers derived from the RHCF public need methodology. It is also the Department's intention to maintain current RHCF bed numbers on this Web site to facilitate ease of access by the public and to permit the timely distribution of updated county-specific bed need totals as new beds come into service or existing beds close through rightsizing or because of other developments. This practice will result in access to more up-to-date information on RHCF beds by the general public, nursing homes and other interested parties.
