Paradise Valley Nursing Home Abuse Attorney Law Firm

Congress has set certain standards that nursing homes must meet in order to be part of the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) handle the health and fire safety inspections of the nursing homes involved in these programs.

The health inspection of a nursing home is done by a group that includes at least one nurse and they are responsible for over 180 regulatory standards created to protect the nursing home residents. Generally the health inspections are annually unless the nursing home is rated poorly, in which case they are inspected more often. The health inspection includes: the care of residents and the processes used to give that care, how the staff and residents interact, and the nursing home environment.

After the inspection the nursing home may receive a deficiency standard, where the Federal government could impose penalties. One example would be Medicare may deny payment to the nursing home if the problems are not corrected within a given period of time. Nursing homes accused of abuse or neglect are not generally in a hurry to admit they have engaged in either and our Paradise Valley nursing home abuse lawyer has a long history of using the standards to show that their procedures are deficient.

Arizona nursing home residents should have quality care and nursing homes who choose to
neglect their elderly residents should be held accountable. If you believe that a loved one might
