There are many resources available for nursing home facility providers to ensure safe and quality care is possible. Review the information below to become familiar with important considerations as you open and operate your nursing home facility.
Our primary data center for the LTC Providers Reporting Portal is relocating to another location within Reston, Virginia.
The servers will be physically moved down the street and then powered up in the new rack. The maintenance will begin at 10:00 PM Pacific on 10/15 (11:00 PM Mountain) and is expected to complete by 6:00 AM Pacific (7:00 AM Mountain) (Friday night to Saturday morning) . The scheduled window is 8 hours, but the team is optimistic that the outage will be limited to a couple of hours.
During this time, all systems will be unavailable.
