waivers
A waiver is a formal permission granted by the PA Department of Human Services allowing a facility to deviate from a specific state regulation under defined conditions. Waivers are not penalties — they are approved exemptions, most commonly issued for staff qualification requirements. A higher number of waivers may indicate a facility relies on staff who don't fully meet standard credential requirements, which is worth noting but is common in facilities with diverse or foreign-educated workforces. Waivers are reviewed annually and can be revoked if conditions aren't met.
