State Licensed Long-Term Care Facilities in Arizona

ADHS Division of Licensing Mission Statement: To protect the health and safety of Arizonans by providing information, establishing standards, and licensing and regulating health and child care services. The Arizona Department of Health Services-Bureau of Long-Term Care Licensing licenses and inspects Arizona nursing homes facilities. Long-Term Care staff also perform Medicaid certification inspections for Arizona's Intermediate Care Facilities for the Developmentally Disabled (ICFDD). Records are created and maintained by Bureau of Long-Term Care Licensing staff in the licensing division, while the GIS Team extracts the data and creates GIS layers and shares them publicly. Each month, an extract from the ADHS Division of Licensing SQL database is geocoded using ADHS's internal geocoder, and post-processed using a Python script to create and publish feature classes by facility type, including long-term care facilities. Last Updated: February 2025 Updated frequency: Monthly Data FAQs: Some records have “license_expiration” earlier than the “rundate” while the “OPERTION_STATUS” is “ACTIVE”, should we treat all records with “OPERATION_STATUS” of “ACTIVE” as open at the time the data is released? Answer: Yes - ACTIVE is all the current licenses. In 2019 there was a perpetual rule change that affected certain facilities so in lieu of an expiration date, we began tracking the annual fee due date in the "license_expiration" field. Per rule, these facilities can submit annual requirements up to 30 days after the fee due date (aka license expiration in the provider database) so we do expect some to be earlier than the run date. Is the FACID of the same facility maintained unique and same throughout all releases? If a facility is purchased by a different company or has it’s name changed, is the FACID changed? Answer: The FACID represents a licensed premise - in many cases the facility ID is maintained when purchased by a different owner but under federal rule, certain facilities may choose to have a new CMS certification number which would require a new FACID be issued for that premise. What’s the unit type of capacities for different categories? Answer: This varies - it can be child capacity, bed count, dialysis station, etc. For Group_Home_for_Individuals_with_a_Developmental_Disability and Residential_Facility, how to tell if the employer’s office is at the facility VS the employer’s office is somewhere else and employees are sent to those facilities? Also is there a way to tell if a facility only has part time workers (Like workers only need to be at the residential facility less than 8hr per day or less than 5 days a week )? Answer: This is not currently available on the public database The data contains a 'COUNTY' field and a "N_County' field - which one should I use to filter results? Answer: N_County - this is the county that's assigned when a record is geocoded using the physical street address, vs one that is assigned manually during the licensing process.亚利桑那州卫生服务部（Arizona Department of Health Services, ADHS）执照司使命宣言：通过提供信息、制定标准、核发执照并监管医疗与儿童护理服务，保障亚利桑那州民众的健康与安全。亚利桑那州卫生服务部长期护理执照局负责对亚利桑那州的养老院设施进行执照核发与检查。长期护理部门工作人员还会为亚利桑那州发育障碍者中间护理设施（Intermediate Care Facilities for the Developmentally Disabled, ICFDD）开展医疗补助认证检查。执照司下属长期护理执照局的工作人员负责创建并维护相关记录，而地理信息系统（Geographic Information System, GIS）团队则会对该数据进行提取、生成地理信息图层并对外公开共享。每月，从亚利桑那州卫生服务部执照司的结构化查询语言（Structured Query Language, SQL）数据库中提取的数据，会使用亚利桑那州卫生服务部内部的地理编码工具进行地理编码，随后通过Python脚本进行后处理，按设施类型创建并发布要素类，其中涵盖长期护理设施。最后更新时间：2025年2月；更新频率：每月。数据集常见问题解答：部分记录中，当"OPERATION_STATUS（运营状态）"为"ACTIVE（有效）"时，"license_expiration（执照有效期）"早于"rundate（数据运行日期）"，是否应将所有"运营状态"为"有效"的记录视为数据发布时处于开放状态？答：是的——"ACTIVE"代表所有当前有效的执照。2019年出台了一项永久性规则变更，影响了部分设施，因此我们不再追踪原有效期，转而在"license_expiration"字段中记录年度费用缴纳截止日期。根据规则，此类设施可在费用缴纳截止日期（即供应商数据库中的执照有效期）后30天内提交年度合规材料，因此确实会出现部分记录的该字段早于数据运行日期的情况。同一机构的设施标识号（FACID）在所有数据发布版本中是否保持唯一且一致？若某机构被其他公司收购或更名，其FACID是否会发生变更？答：FACID代表获得执照的经营场所。在多数情况下，机构易主后其设施标识号仍可保持不变，但根据联邦规则，部分设施可申请新的联邦医疗保险与医疗补助服务中心（Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, CMS）认证编号，此时需为该经营场所核发新的FACID。不同类别的容量单位类型是什么？答：该类型并不固定，可指代儿童容纳量、床位数量、透析工位数量等。针对"Group_Home_for_Individuals_with_a_Developmental_Disability（发育障碍者团体之家）"与"Residential_Facility（住宿设施）"两类，如何区分雇主办公室位于设施内，与雇主办公室位于其他地点、员工被派往该设施工作这两种情况？此外，是否可通过数据判断某设施仅雇佣兼职员工（例如员工每日在住宿设施工作时长不足8小时，或每周工作天数不足5天）？答：目前公开数据库中暂无此类信息。数据中包含"COUNTY（县）"与"N_County"两个字段，我应使用哪个字段进行结果筛选？答：请使用N_County字段。该字段是根据设施实际街道地址进行地理编码时分配的县名，而"COUNTY"字段是在执照审批流程中手动分配的县名。
