The California Department of Public Health has issued a new All Facilities Letter, notifying healthcare facilities, including nursing homes, of the availability of a new website for obtaining Initial or Change of Ownership licensure/certification application forms. The website covers Skilled Nursing Facilities, Nursing Facilities, Intermediate Care Facilities, and other types of healthcare facilities. The website provides the required fee, an application request letter, an instructional checklist, and required forms for each facility category. The forms cannot be saved with data typed in, so facilities must print and copy completed forms for their records. Facilities must submit the required fee, forms, and attachments to the Centralized Application Unit. A new form, CDPH 414, for Health Facility Change of Location has also been developed and is available on the website. Facilities should contact Elena Marquez, Acting Chief of the Centralized Application Unit, with any questions.
