Download Home Report ((BETTER))

A seller or selling agent must give you a Home Report within nine days of you asking for it. If they don't give you the report within nine days, you can contact your local council's trading standards services.

If you feel you can cope with the repairs, you should get estimates for how much they'll cost before proceeding. If you don't think you can cope with the repairs and don't want to buy the home any more you can walk away at this stage without penalty.

What is needed is something called 'degree-days'. That is the number of degrees in difference between average inside temperature (settable, e.g. 18 degrees, or calculated by the scheme of inside temperatures by the Nest thermostate) and the hourly or average outside temperature per day. In the history display and monthly report should be detailed how many hours of heating are needed per 'degree-day'. In case of modulating heaters controlled by the OpenTherm protocol, the hours of heating should be adjusted by the level of modulation. If the maximum power of the heater is known, the hours of heating can be calculated into the number of kWh's of energy. This is only what can be used to judge energy savings over time, independent of the outside temperature. See the website www.mindergas.nl, on how this is reported by readings from the gas meter.

I agree: the monthly report has apparently been dumbed down for scientifically illiterate Americans. Energy is NOT measured in hours. Energy is measured in joules, calories, ergs or electron-volts, but most commonly and usefully, in this case, kilowatt-hours. Kilowatt-hours are what we buy from the provider and the only metric of interest here. Reporting energy consumption in hours is a meaningless waste of time. Either give me a useful report or don't bother.

In the report, the Office makes recommendations to fix longstanding structural problems, address fundamental flaws related to oversight, and strengthen management and accountability. The legislative recommendations include:

We carried out a review of the Home Report to look at how it worked in its first five years. This included a Home Report public consultation held in December 2013 and a Home Report research report published in January 2015.

The New York State Department of Health, Division of Quality and Surveillance for Nursing Homes and ICFs/MR, licenses and conducts surveys and investigations of the quality of care and life for the approximately 117,000 people residing in nursing homes in the State. Nursing home residents include the frail elderly with chronic disabilities; infants with multiple impairments; young adults suffering from traumatic brain injury, or other physical disabilities; and those individuals with short-term rehabilitation or sub-cute treatment needs.

The Department conducts Certification Surveys, with the time between surveys ranging from 9 months to 15 months at each nursing home. The Department also conducts Post-Survey Revisits to ensure that any deficiencies cited during a survey are corrected. Complaint Surveys also are conducted as a result of complaints and incidents received by the Department.

Survey teams conduct unannounced surveys that are conducted on weekdays, nights weekend, and holidays. The survey teams are comprised of trained health care professionals in nursing, nutrition, social work, pharmacy and sanitation. A report is sent to the facility after each survey regarding the results. Survey results include Standard Health Inspection and Life Safety Code Inspection as described below.

During a Standard Health Inspection the survey team will review the quality of the care provided by the facility. The survey team will observe resident care, staff/resident interaction, and environment; they also review medical records and other documentation during the survey process. Using established protocols, the team interviews a sample of residents and family members about their life within the nursing home, and interviews caregivers and administrative staff. Trained inspectors will determine whether the wide range of regulatory standards is met.

Since actual survey results can be technically or medically complex and sometimes difficult to interpret, the Department has created Inspection Reports to present this information in a manner that is more understandable to the general public. These reports will help consumers compare, evaluate and choose a nursing home. For each nursing home, information is presented in a Summary and Detail section. All information is updated on a monthly basis to reflect the most three recent Certification Surveys, and the last three years of Complaint Surveys.

The following sections of this document provide important general background information: Understanding Inspection Reports describes the structure of the report; whereas, the Summary and Detail sections describe the content of the report in easy to understand terms.

The Inspection Report provides a snapshot of the compliance status of a nursing home at a particular point in time. Its status may have improved or declined since this posting. The nursing home is required to post the results of its most recent Certification Survey in a location within the facility that is readily accessible to residents and their families. When visiting the home the actual survey results will be available for review.

This section of the Inspection Report lists all citations issued in the reporting period for Certification, Complaint, and COVID-19 Surveys. The citation details are displayed by severity, number of resident affected, and when the citation was corrected. The related Standard Health Inspection and Life Safety Code Inspection results are shown for each survey.

A Plan of Correction is required by the Nursing Home Administrator to demonstrate how the facility will correct any deficiencies cited within the facility. Each nursing home is required to post their plan of correction, statement of deficiencies, and any enforcement actions taken against their facility in a place readily accessible to residents and designated representatives without staffing assistance.

The New York State Department of Health, Nursing Home and ICF/MR Surveillance is responsible for investigating complaints and incidents for nursing homes in New York State, which are related to State and/or Federal regulatory violation. A complaint against a nursing home should be submitted in writing by the complainant.

All complaint and incidents received about nursing homes are reviewed by the Department through the Centralized Complaint Intake Unit with appropriate action taken. The most serious complaints and incidents require Department investigators to conduct interviews, review medical records and other facility documentation, and perform other activities onsite at the nursing home.

Some complaints and incidents contain more than one allegation. If an investigation determines that any of the allegations did occur, then the allegation is sustained. Further, the investigation will determine whether a facility has failed to meet federal and/or state requirements. In cases where the Department determines the nursing home violates regulation, the Department will issue a citation to the nursing home. The facility then must submit a plan of correction that is acceptable to the Department and correct the deficient practice.

Section 12 of the Public Health Law allows the Department of Health to assess fines against nursing homes that have been cited for noncompliance with federal or state regulations that resulted in harm to residents, represents substandard quality of care, or place residents at immediate risk for harm.

The maximum fine allowed under law is $2,000 per violation. The Enforcement Summary Report presents a history, starting on January 1, 2002, of fines assessed against each nursing home. The information includes:

In 2020, Chairman Casey secured a one-time $100 million funding boost for nursing home oversight in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which is set to expire in September 2023. Thirty-two states and Puerto Rico reported concern that the sunsetting of CARES Act funds will have a negative impact on their ability to complete their work.

The Vacation Home Counties 2021 Report seeks to analyze and contribute information on how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the demand for vacation homes as government orders and advisories led to working from home, virtual schooling, and online meetings.

The share of vacation homes increased to 5.5% in 2020 and to an average of 6.7% during January-April 2021. Vacation home sales rose by 16.4% to 310,600 in 2020, outpacing the pace of total existing home sale of 5.6%. Sales are up 57.2% year- over-year during January-April 2021 compared to the 20% year-over-year change in total existing home sales. Vacation home sales averaged 412,500 during the first four months measured on a seasonally adjusted annual basis.

Overall, the housing market made a sharp rebound in the second half of 2020 that wiped out the losses in the first half of the year. However, the market was even hotter in what NAR delineated as vacation home counties, which are counties where vacant seasonal, occasional, or recreational use housing account for at least 20% of the housing stock.

Based on data from 1,205 counties (145 vacation home counties and 1,060 non- vacation home counties), existing home sales rose by 24.2% on average in vacation home counties, more than double the 11.2% annual pace in non-vacation home counties.

Properties typically stayed longer on the market in vacation home counties at 59 days compared to 30 days in non-vacation home counties in 2020. However, the time to sell a home in vacation home counties has speeded up more than in non- vacation home counties. In 2020, properties in vacation home counties typically sold more quickly by 13 days compared to 8 days in non-vacation home counties. Vacation home buyers are more likely to pay all-cash. During January-April 2021, all-cash sales rose to 53% of all vacation home purchases, a higher share compared to less than 50% in past years. In comparison, 22% of all existing-home sales in January-April 2021 were cash sales. ff782bc1db
