In keeping with the spirit of the list contained in the Mitchell Report, the federal government has released a damning list of its own, only this one names the 54 nursing homes in the Unites States that have the most room for improvement.
The 54 names comes from a list of 120 nursing facilities that the federal government's Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has identified as "special focus facilities". From what I have read, I cannot determine why the entire list of names has not been released, but there are several U.S. Senators who are currently calling for exactly that.
The entire list is here. In light of the current problems that the Hartford Courant has highlighted with Haven Health's chain of nursing homes in Connecticut, I was mildly shocked to see that only one Connecticut facility, Wethersfield Health Care Center, is on the list. If/when the rest of the list is released, I will let you know and we might find more Connecticut names turn up.
interesting article
