Two Southwest Florida nursing homes are designated with the abuse icon. But it's not their only problem. ManorCare Health Services in Fort Myers and Lakeside Pavilion in Naples are rated two-stars, indicating that they are "below average." Both are on Florida's nursing home "watch list" of troubled homes and both received citations in 2018 for not protecting a patient from being abused. "The government should be saying this (facility) meets our standards and is acceptable for licensure." "I do not believe the government should be in the business of ranking nursing homes and hospitals," Goetz said.
Martin Goetz, chief executive of River Garden Senior Services, whose nursing home facility received Medicare's five-star rating in every category, is no fan of the system. The site also provides a one-to-five star rating of nursing homes in four categories: health inspection reports, staffing, quality measures and overall quality.īut the star rating is also not without criticism by some in the industry.
They could have also received an icon if they had "potential harm" violations during that time and another between Oct. The nursing homes that received the icon Wednesday were cited with a violation in which a patient was harmed between Oct.
