Swiss Village gets good report (2/19/05)
Business Roundup
Thirty-four Indiana nursing homes — including one in Adams County — boasted zero deficiencies in their annual surveys conducted from July through September 2004, state health officials announced recently.
A total of 152 nursing homes in Indiana had their annual surveys during this period.
Swiss Village Inc. in Berne was among the nursing homes that had deficiency-free annual surveys in the third quarter of 2004.
“As part of our continuing effort to inform the public about nursing home care in Indiana, we want to let people know when facilities have an outstanding annual survey,” said Terry Whitson, assistant commissioner for Health Care Regulatory Services at the Indiana State Department of Health.
“Our inspection process is rigorous, so we want to congratulate the managers and staffs of these 34 facilities that had zero deficiencies,” Whitson said.
For each annual survey of a long-term care facility, a team of three or four professional surveyors performs detailed inspections that last from four days to two weeks. The team members are registered nurses or social workers.
The annual surveys cover these areas:
•Residents’ rights, including admission, transfer, and discharge
•Residents’ behavior and facility practices (how the facility protects its residents)
•Quality of life
•Resident assessment (how the facility determines the appropriate care for each resident)
•Quality of care
•Nursing services
•Physician services
•Dental services
•Infection control
•Physical environment
•Administration
