Reeds Landing Nursing Center Recognized
SPRINGFIELD — Loomis Communities has announced that Reeds Landing Nursing Center in Springfield has received a deficiency-free survey from the Mass. Department of Public Health (DPH).
According to David Scruggs, Loomis Communities president and CEO, “a deficiency-free survey is a top indicator of excellence in a nursing home and difficult to achieve. Approximately 10{06cf2b9696b159f874511d23dbc893eb1ac83014175ed30550cfff22781411e5} of nursing centers receive this designation nationwide.”
The DPH reviews all areas of care practice to make certain that all regulations are followed. Areas include resident rights, facility practices, infection control, quality of life, resident satisfaction, quality of care delivered, culinary services, all nursing and ancillary services, rehabilitation, physical environment, and administration. In addition, Reeds Landing Nursing Center had a deficiency-free life-safety survey, which reviews the physical-plant issues that make a safe living and working environment.
This recognition comes just three months after Loomis House Nursing Center in Holyoke also had a deficiency-free survey and a deficiency-free life-safety survey.
The Loomis Communities Nursing Centers embrace person-centered care, which adapts the way care is delivered to accommodate each resident’s preferences. “This holistic approach to successful aging and self-determination honors and respects the individual,” Scruggs said.
In 2007, Loomis House Nursing Center was the second nursing home in the U.S. to receive certification as a leader in providing person-centered care from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities International, an independent, nonprofit accreditor of health and human-services organizations.
