Comprehensive Safety Solutions
Prevent, Control, and Eliminate Hazards
Historically, skilled nursing facilities have had a higher incidence of work-related accidents. Between 2021 and 2022, Indiana healthcare workers missed 38,330 days of work due to injuries, according to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health's Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Liability in nursing homes often arises from inadequate safety training, neglect of safety equipment --such as wheelchairs, walkers, or beds -- and unsafe facility conditions that put residents at risk for falls, contusions, fractures, and broken bones. Nursing homes may face legal responsibility for injuries to residents, especially in negligence cases (CDC, 2024).

Code-Keepers' Commentary
Strive for the Stars
Medicare rates Nursing homes on a scale of 1-5 based on Health and safety inspections, Quality measures, Staffing, and Abuse. Its convenient locater website allows consumers to find and compare skilled nursing facilities based on star ratings. A quality rating of 3 is average and a "5- Star" is above average. Alert symbols replace stars when nursing homes have had poor past performance or abuse. Medicare closely monitors these facilities, which can result in additional inspections, penalties, and payment restrictions. Strive for the stars by allowing Code-Keepers, LLC Safety and Health Compliance Specialists to provide your staff with the required safety training.
