Annual State Survey Results
2010
(completed 7-21-10):
No Deficiencies
2009
(completed 5-12-09):
1 Deficiency
(Level D)
Level D means
the deficiency found was NOT a pattern or widespread, instead it
was considered an ISOLATED incident. Level D also means NO
actual harm was caused to any patient.
A nursing
assistant left a patient sitting alone in a shower room for a quick moment
while she grabbed an extra towel from the linen room right next to the
shower room. There was no incident or injury caused to the patient.
Corrective action and re-education was immediately completed with all
nursing staff.
