Boston reports that 850 Social Security offices nationwide will act as centers for complaints about substandard nursing home care. Commissioner Robert M. Ball said the move, at Secretary Elliot Richardson’s request, aims to upgrade elder care and feed issues to proper authorities. The plan foreshadows ombudsmen in states to handle complaints and advise on alternatives to nursing homes. Medicare surveys have prompted facility improvements, with over 100 extended care facilities losing Medicare approval and 43 more warned. Medicaid enforcement is pursued with state cooperation, as federal authority is limited.
