Marianne:
I'd either go to the faciliy and read the actual survey results, or obtain a copy from the state agency (below). The Dept of Health site indicated 26 deficiencies in 2010 - and that's alot. Remember, something that sounds serious might not be horrible so take it all with a grain of salt. On the other hand, there also seems like a lot of complaints, some of which were substantiated.

Thanks Ellie Mae!

My Mom went there for a 10 day IV fluid follow up after an ER visit for a UTI.

She also contracted the following infections while there:

C Diff
Scabies
A second UTI
A wound on her backside

So after being there 2 months and being discharged she is back in the hospital being treated for:
Scabies
UTI
Wound They discharged her in that condition! Unbelievable!

And now the hospital wants to discharged her to another SNF.

Only this time she will be paying out of pocket because of the 60 day eligibility rule...

Does anybody know where the info online is for daily costs of SNF? She might have to stay 1 or 2 weeks and I am going to make sure that I look at the SNF ratings before I choose one.

The hospital is trying to rush me.

Normally, she lives at an Assisted Living Residential Care Home, and I am looking into finding a better one for her because this one has deteriorated in the level of care they provide this past year.
