Inspection Results
Each year, an inspection is carried out by the Regional Liaison Officers to ensure that the services offered by a nursing home meet the official requirements. The Department of Social Development brings in the inspecting officers. The examinations are usually a surprise, and their completion can take a couple of days. Besides yearly evaluations from the Department of Social Development, they can also make an extra visit if there are contentions about the well-being of nursing home residents. For evaluating the situation and taking suitable action, a follow-up visit can be made.
Moreover, yearly inspections are performed by the Department of Health Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health (Public Health) and the Department of Public Safety inspection services, including the Office of the Fire Marshal as well. As the checks take place annually, they should always be updated before the issuance or renewal of licenses of nursing homes.

Popular questions at Preferred Care At Absecon
What happens when one spouse goes to a nursing home?
Medicaid has spousal protection rules in place, which vary from state to state. These rules are in place to ensure that the spouse can keep the assets and income they need to live comfortably. In most cases, spouses can continue to use the entirety of their own income. They may be able to access a portion of their spouse’s income, depending on the situation. The spouse will also be able to keep 50 percent of the couple’s total joint assets.
How much does nursing home cost?
There are many factors that determine the cost of a nursing home, such as location and specific services. The average yearly cost for a semi-private room in a nursing home is $89,297, while a private room is $100,375. The costs for assisted living and retirement communities tend to be much more affordable as they do not provide extensive medical services. The average cost of an assisted living facility is $43,200 per year.
How much does it cost to stay in a veterans nursing home?
Every state has state veterans’ homes, which are nursing homes that are subsidized by the state government and the VA. These homes are priced on a sliding scale depending on the veteran’s current income. The VA also offers stipends for long-term care costs. These stipends are often over $100 per day.
How much does Medicare pay for nursing home?
Medicare does not cover the full cost of staying in a nursing home. Medicare does cover the first 100 days in any skilled nursing facility, but after that point you will need to rely on savings, long-term care insurance, Medicaid, or another solution to pay your nursing home expenses.
How can I pay my nursing home expenses with Social Security?
If you’re a senior who is receiving Social Security income, you can use it to help pay for your nursing home expenses. However, it’s important to note that Social Security usually isn’t enough to cover the cost of living in a nursing home. You’ll need to use another form of income, whether that’s long-term care insurance or savings you may have, to pay for Social Security in its entirety. It’s also important to note that if you are using Medicaid to pay for your nursing home costs, you may need to forfeit some or all of your Social Security income, depending on how much you receive.
Please don’t send your loved ones here! My father was a resident in Byron Hall because of his dementia. Your just a number there! Profit over care! It’s horrible. If my father was able to express his feelings he would have been so mad! But do to his dementia and being medicated he was subdued. He was only there for 2 short months. We had no choice in the facility that we could send him to due to his form of dementia. He was sent out to the hospital twice,the second time he was critical upon entering the ER! CRITICAL! No one noticed!
!About a week earlier he had to have his meds increased because of agitation. Then a week later they called me and said he was acting more sedated than usual and they reduced the meds. They did nothing else. Did not check his urine to see if he had a UTI nor did they do bloodwork. He was sent out to the hospital 4 days later with a severe UTI and Severe sepsis. He passed in the hospital 6 days later! The staff did not even reach out to me to see how he was doing! I am furious,they neglected him and he suffered and I had to watch my father slowly slip away! His urine was brown! No one noticed! With that being said,this place is the pits! They wouldn’t even let him use the restroom when he had the urge. Too much trouble for them. He didn’t even have a toothbrush! Things were stolen from his room! Right down to a box of dam tissues! The sink was falling off the wall and the director of nursing told me it posed no threat to him since he would be in his wheelchair! The wall in his room was falling apart. His dirty laundry basket was full to the top with urine soaked clothes! It was horrid! He was hungry every time I visited! One time he ate all three bananas I brought for him. I had no choice,there was no where else to send him. This is the fate of seniors with dementia who have no voice and the system is horrible for them! Poor hygiene practices and lack of care! At the hospital my fathers face was shaved but his neck was not! His fingernails were filthy! I feel ashamed that this happened to my father and there was nothing I could do about it as his care was then out of my hands! These people are so disorganized that they couldn’t even keep a care plan meeting appointment that they made with me and the main players never showed up and I was never notified! Stay away!
