INDIANAPOLIS-Fifteen Indiana comprehensive-care nursing homes had zero deficiencies in their annual surveys conducted from January through March 2008, state health officials announced today.
A total of 129 nursing homes in Indiana had their annual surveys during this period.
"We're always happy to let the public know when nursing home facilities have an outstanding annual survey," said Terry Whitson, assistant commissioner for Health Care Regulatory Services at the Indiana State Department of Health.
"We have a very rigorous and thorough inspection process, so we want to congratulate the managers and staffs of the fifteen facilities that had zero deficiencies," Whitson said.
For each annual survey of a long-term care facility, a team of three or four professional surveyors performs detailed inspections that last from four days to two weeks. The team members are registered nurses or social workers.
The annual surveys cover these areas:
· residents' rights, including admission, transfer, and discharge;
· residents' behavior and facility practices (how the facility protects
its residents);
· quality of life;
· resident assessment (how the facility determines the appropriate
care for each resident);
· quality of care;
· nursing services;
· physician services;
· dental services;
· infection control;
· physical environment; and
· administration.
