Over 4000 Nursing Homes Identified as Substandard

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) today named 4,037 nursing homes with deficiencies related to both pressure sores and/or restraint rates. CMS says these nursing homes' quality measures in at least one of two areas -- physical restraints among long-stay residents and pressure ulcers among long-stay, high-risk residents -- substantially exceed CMS improvement targets. Being a North Carolina nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer, I  suspect that my office will see cases from the nursing homes on tihs list. There are indeed quite a few North Carolina nursing homes that made the list. If you or someone you know/love is having nursing home abuse or neglect problem, check out the list at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/QualityImprovementOrgs/
