Special Focus Facilities: The Worst Nursing Homes Of All

Picture-912

I get a large number of questions from nursing home patients and families regarding focused on finding the ‘best’ facilities available.  For some reason, I get an even larger number of people who ask me who the ‘worst’ facilities are.  Maybe there’s some sport associated with identifying these facilities? But for to today, let’s feed the need to identify the poor performing nursing homes– the Special Focus Facilities.

If you are a nursing home operator or employee the Special Focus Facility (SFF) is definitely a club you want no part of.  Rather, the SFF was created by The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) as an assemblage of facilities that deserve special recognition for the inadequate care they typically provide to their patients.

A facility typically earns a spot on this list primarily after the both federal and state inspectors survey reports on the facility come to light. SFF typically have:

  • More general problems than your average facility
  • More safety and injury-related problems than your typical facility
  • A pattern of serious problems that have persisted over a long period of time

No doubt, event the best facilities have episodes where the care they provide can be characterizes as abusive or neglectful.  However, these SFF have more than their share and at the very least patients and families should be aware if they have a loved one who is a patient at a facility on this dubious list.

Below is a compilation of all nursing homes currently on the SFF list organized by state.

Here are some observations from the SFF list:

  1. Miss my mother very much says:

    I have a wrongful death lawsuit against Countryside healthcare in Lawrenceburg,Tennessee.
    They let my mother lay in bed for more than 3 days unresponsive, they never informed any family member or her doctor of her condition. At the time I was at a hospital out of town with my husband he had been diagnosed with cancer. I had a very strong urge to visit my mother and I left the hospital where my husband was being treated and came to the nursing home to visit with my mother when I went into her room MY MOTHER WAS UNRESPONSIVE there was a C.N.A. shoveling food into her mouth . I ask her what ARE you doing the C.N.A. told me she had to feed her so she could get her blood sugar up, that it was 18, I told her to stop and I asked her how long has mother been like this and the Occupational therapist came in at that time and told me my mother passed out in the dinning room 3 days before and they carried her to her room and put her to bed. I told the C.N.A. to stop feeding my mother because I was scared she would choke,The C.N.A. TOLD ME MY MOTHER WAS GIVEN AN INSULIN SHOT EARLIER I asked to speak with the charge nurse and was told she wasn’t on the floor I told the C.N.A. if mothers blood sugar was that low she needed to be sent to the hospital and she should be given something very sweet. I asked her to get some candy the C.N.A. told me she couldn’t leave the floor. I went to another hall and bought a 3 musketeer candy bar and a regular coke and stopped by the dinning room and asked for a cup of orange juice and 3 packets of regular sugar. I feed mother little pieces of the candy and after about 30 minutes mother started coming around . I got her to drink the juice and coke. By that time the nurse was back I asked her to send mother to the hospital she told me it had to be mothers doctor to order it,so I told the nurse to call him. i WAS TOLD MOTHERS DOCTOR WAS OUT TO LUNCH AND HE DIDN’T LIKE TO BE BOTHERED DURING LUNCH. I told the nurse to check her blood sugar again . The nurse did and reported her level was 87 and I asked her again to call or page mothers doctor the charge nurse refused, I told mother I loved her and I would go to see her doctor and get her help. I left Countryside and went to mothers doctors office and requested to see him the receptionist took me to an exam room and mothers doctor talked to me .He asked me how long mother had been in that condition . I told him I was told over 3 days, he explained he WASN’T informed by the nursing home of her condition. HE TOLD ME HE WOULD CALL THEM AND ORDER HER TO BE SENT TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TEST AND TREATMENT. I heard him call the nursing home and tell them, I left his office and called the nursing home and asked how mother was I was told they were sending her and she was some better. Then I received a call from the hospital where my husband was at he had gotten worse I was told they needed me there as fast as I could get there.The nursing home waited 27 hours later before they sent mother to the hospital she lived another 15 hours and passed away of severe sepsis. The doctor at the hospital that treated mother told the family if mother had been sent to the hospital when she first passed out in the dinning room earlier in the week, SHE WOULD HAVE HAD A REALLY GOOD CHANCE OF LIVING LONGER. I hired an attorney 4 months after mother passed away, and the wrongful death lawsuit was filed 7 months later in July 2009 . Then in September 2009 the state of Tennessee cites Countryside and suspends them from accepting new patients . But because Countryside has their residents sign an arbitration paper they believe they can treat the resident anyway they want and they won’t be held responsible even if they cause the resident to die. I MISS MY MOTHER VERY MUCH. Countryside took her from me
