MEDICARE BENEFITS LOSS OFTEN FINAL STRAW FOR FOR STRUGGLING SENIOR CENTERS
Government payments are typically the lifeblood for nursing homes to continue operating. But what happens if facilities aren’t keeping up with quality care and record-keeping practices?
“The federal government considers termination of Medicare and Medicaid a “last resort,” implemented only after “all other attempts” fail to resolve health and safety deficiencies.”
CHUG stays up-to-date on the latest from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) so that either before inspections occur or after citations are issued, nursing homes have the ability to get back on track with a partner they can trust.
“Problems have plagued the for-profit nursing home in recent years, inspections records suggest.”
Sadly, as a last resort effort to get a facility to turn things around, Medicare benefits are terminated. For nursing homes that have endured irreconcilable damage, this often doesn’t prevent closure leaving patients displaced and their families scrambling for alternative care for loved ones.
If your facility is struggling to keep up with the evolving landscape of senior care, you’re not alone. Contact CHUG today to consult with industry experts.
