The
Alois Alzheimer Center® of
Cincinnati, part of the
Healthcare ManagementGroup, recently received perfect survey results from the
Ohio Department of Health. This marks an
unprecedented trend among
Ohio
long term care and residential care facilities.
This is Alois’ seventh consecutive year deficiency-free surveys. The Ohio
Department of Health routinely conducts unannounced compliance surveys. These
surveys occur between nine and fifteen months since a facilities last annual
survey. If deemed necessary, other surveys may occur by the Ohio Department’s
discretion.
In 2012 the Ohio Department of Health conducted 728 annual surveys. Of these
only 15% of facilities across
Ohio
were deemed to be in full compliance with all standards of care and services.
In 2011 the number of perfect annual surveys conducted by the Ohio Department
of Health was 877. The percentage of facilities receiving no deficiencies was
only 12%. Of these receiving perfect surveys only Alois has received perfect
surveys over the last seven consecutive years.
The State of
Ohio
used this survey process to determine if Alois satisfactorily meets all
criteria required for operating a skilled nursing facility. Issues covered
evaluating staffing levels, in-depth evaluation of patient care,
appropriateness and competencies of medical services, extent and depth of
employee training, and adherence to resident rights. Also evaluated during the
survey includes the quality of food service operations, thoroughness of
housekeeping and laundry services. Finally, time was spent inspecting overall
compliance with various aspects of resident and facility safety policies and
practices.
