Golden LivingCenter earns high rating on survey
WAYNESBURG – Golden LivingCenter in Waynesburg has earned a “deficiency-free” survey from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and Pennsylvania Department of Health.
According to the latest CMS Nursing Home Data Compendium report and compiled statistics, 9.2 percent of 15,671 nursing homes participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs received a deficiency-free report, accounting for 1,441 nursing homes.
“This survey represents a significant accomplishment for our LivingCenter while we continue to work diligently to meet the level of regulatory compliance set out by CMS,” said Jackie Hainer-Weaver, executive director.
Hainer-Weaver said, “I’d like to thank our clinical and support staff for all they do to make our LivingCenter a skilled nursing facility that is one of a select few in the country that have received a deficiency-free survey.”
“The results of the survey measure and demonstrate how our LivingCenter team has come together to meet the more than 400 requirements set forth by CMS,” said James Palmer, area vice president. “We work together to provide quality care to each and every patient and encourage families to visit our LivingCenter when considering a place for their loved one as there is no substitute for personal experience.”
CMS contracts with state health departments to survey skilled nursing facilities between every 12 to 15 months to ensure these healthcare providers are meeting stringent state and federal regulation and clinical standards.
The surveys are conducted unannounced any time of day to get a glimpse at the everyday operation of a skilled nursing facility. The survey team completes a comprehensive review of quality and safety including the care of residents, the interaction between residents and staff, and the nursing home environment.
Golden LivingCenter provides quality health care for up to 44 Alzheimer’s patients and 64 residents including those needing skilled nursing and rehabilitative care. Golden LivingCenter – Waynesburg is proud to be part of the Waynesburg.
