| INDIANAPOLIS--Only wenty-three Indiana
comprehensive care nursing homes were found to have zero
deficiencies in their annual surveys conducted from October
through December 2004, Indiana state health officials
announced. A total of 117 nursing
homes in Indiana had their annual surveys during this
period.
"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.
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; and
� administration.
