Is your loved one in a nursing home? Here’s why you should be alarmed. Davidlaz writes:
A congressional report has revealed the names of nearly 400 nursing homes — including 28 in California — cited for substandard care that had not been publicly identified.
“You’d like to think you could expect high-quality care, but that’s not the case,” said Eric Carlson, an attorney with Justice in Aging, a nonprofit organization focused on senior poverty. Lori Smetanka, executive director of the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care, an advocacy group, said it shouldn’t have taken congressional action for the names of questionable nursing homes to be revealed.
Nevertheless, Dr. Kate Goodrich, director of Medicare’s Center for Clinical Standards and Quality, issued a statement last week insisting that “improving safety and quality in America’s nursing homes is one of CMS’ top priorities.”
