Unannounced nursing home inspections find widespread deficiencies
Federal health inspectors found major gaps in care at 295 nursing homes across 48 states through unannounced visits from August to November. Findings show 64 percent had fire safety violations, 44.8 percent of patients were given tranquilizers, 15.8 percent lacked dental care, and 74 percent lacked bladder and bowel training. The interim HEW report covers 3,458 patients, 75 percent female, median age 82, with further analyses due in May.
