Long Term Care Survey

The Maryland Health Care Commission collects annual data from long-term care facilities to support health planning, assess industry performance, and maintain the MHCC Quality Reporting website. Facilities required to participate must have their survey accepted by the specified due date to comply with Maryland law.

About the Survey

The annual Maryland Long Term Care Survey is released during the first quarter of each year, with a collection period of 60 days. Reporting requirements are established under the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR 10.24.03), which requires providers to submit accurate, timely, and complete data. This data informs the State Health Plan, supports capacity planning, and guides assessment of the financial health of the long-term care industry.

How to Complete the Survey

MHCC uses a web-based application to collect survey data. Providers receive a login ID and password to access the portal, submit their survey, and request assistance. All official correspondence about the survey is conducted through the email utility within the application. Providers are required to maintain a valid email address on file with the Commission.
