I need help on doing research on the long-term care licensure for the state of Maryland

• Where did you find the information about the State of Maryland?
• Does the regulation differentiate between nursing care and skilled care facilities in Maryland?
• What is the length of licensure for the state?
• Are visits unannounced or announced?  Planned or unplanned?
• What do the regulations say about the role of the following healthcare positions.  For each, you need to tell me the level and type of education, certifications if any, and job responsibilities.
  • Administrator
  • Social Services
  • Dietician
  • Activities/recreational therapy
  • Medical director

1. Must medical records be kept?
2. If so, what is the retention period?
3. Give a synopsis of what needs to be in a medical record?
4. What do the regulations say about advance directives?
5. Thanks a lot
