Geropsychiatric facilities
N.D. Cent. Code § 50-24.4-29
in effect50-24.4-29. Geropsychiatric facilities
The department may select skilled nursing facilities within the state to operate a unit that
provides geropsychiatric services. Admission to one of the skilled nursing facilities that provides
geropsychiatric services may be granted only after an individual practicing within the scope of
their practice determines the individual meets the criteria for skilled nursing, and needs
psychiatric behavioral health services. Admissions from the state hospital will be given first
priority for admission to the units. If at any time the department determines that the number of
approved units that provide geropsychiatric services in the state is insufficient to meet the
needs, the department may select additional units based on the experience, qualification, and
capacity of the skilled nursing facilities that propose to provide geropsychiatric services.
