Special Focus Facilities: The Worst Nursing Homes Of All
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:
