New Hampshire nursing home passes muster
LTC Liability Monitor, March 23, 2006
The Belknap County Nursing Home in Laconia, NH, passed a state inspection this week-its third try-and will thus not be fined nor lose Medicaid reimbursement dollars for previous failed inspections, the Associated Press reported. On an initial inspection earlier this month, state officials reprimanded the SNF after they found that residents were not being properly checked for pressure ulcers, and staff were not properly analyzing medication errors or notifying physicians when they did find errors.
After an initial sanction letter from the Health and Human Services Department, the home failed a second inspection one week later, and inspectors gave it until the end of this week to clean up its act.
