Surveys Time is running out, they will be back and they are looking for more. We can help you thru this process.
We bring a team of experts to your facility that is an independent survey team and has the necessary objectivity, the ability to provide adequately developed plans of correction and an realistic expectation of what will happen with the future State Survey visit. Our survey team can include a Licensed Physician, Registered Nurse, Social Worker, Administrator, Dietary Coordinator, and a Licensed Psychologist. Each individual is selected because of their expertise and service to Long Term Care Facilities. We provide an objective and critical assessment of the performance of each area in your facility. We survey and report with the State Surveyor team in mind--- critiquing and instructing as we go. We discuss our findings with each Department Head individually and point out possible plans of corrections and/or solutions to the problems we have identified. Just as with the State Survey, we provide you with a complete exit interview with the Administrator and Department Heads. You will receive a confidential detailed report of problems and/or deficiencies, including identifying appropriate tags and levels of severity one may expect from the State Survey Team should the problems we identify at your facility fail to be corrected. Our survey process can be tailored to your requirement and budget. We can begin with a simple spot check in one area if you have any specific areas of concern. The survey we suggest takes about two days, but may require as many as three or four days, depending upon the size of the facility and the problems encountered. It is a well established fact that our surveys will make a difference in the results of the State Survey at your facility! We can tailor make the survey to meet your needs and budget. Pennhurst Survey Services include:
During the surveys we do many routine tasks, too numerous to list but outline some below:
