A survey was conducted on January 24, 2012, by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services to determine compliance with Federal requirements for nursing homes participating in Medicare and/or Medicaid programs. The survey found the facility was not in substantial compliance and posed immediate jeopardy to resident health and safety.
Findings
The facility was found to be in immediate jeopardy due to noncompliance with participation requirements. The immediate jeopardy was addressed before the exit conference, resulting in the deficiency being lowered to a 'D' level on the enforcement grid. Consequently, a denial of payment for new Medicare and Medicaid admissions was imposed effective February 25, 2012, until substantial compliance is achieved.
