Maryland officials press SNF to close
LTC Liability Monitor, December 22, 2005
Maryland state officials are working to shut down a Hagerstown nursing home and find alternative housing for its 40 residents, the Baltimore Sun reported. Clearview Nursing Home scored poorly on a state review in July 2004, with citations ranging from the failure to provide adequate care to sick residents to various food handling deficiencies to failure to supervise people with swallowing problems, the Sun reported.
State inspectors said a lack of supervision contributed to the choking death of an 83-year-old dementia resident in August. Despite a change of ownership at Clearview in 2005, state inspectors said many of the situations that caused the previous year's deficiencies had worsened.
