Obtain a state survey for a skilled nursing facility.

You can do this by downloading the survey from the web or by visiting the facility and obtaining the survey from the administrator. State surveys are public information and have to be available for anyone that asks for them.

Please write a paper that critiques their survey.Do you think the deficiencies were valid?If their plan of correction is indicated,do youagree that their plan of correction would prevent the same deficiencies from happening in the future?What types of incidents that may be litigated could come from a result of those deficiencies and how would attorneys exploit the survey and use it to their advantage in court?Please do not be confined to these questions as you explore the survey process.Prior surveys are also available through the website given above.You can use surveys from prior years as a basis of comparison to see if the facility improved its ratings.
