The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has ranked 10 of Idaho’s 80 nursing home operators as ‘worst’, and one nursing home has so many violations it didn’t make any ranking!

The CMS looks at data from health inspections, staffing levels, and the vague sounding ‘quality measures’ which I suspect means quality of care.  You can go to the Medicare.gov ‘Find and Compare Providers near you’ website and enter the name and state of the nursing home to see their ‘star rating’, the 11 losers are:

Caldwell Care of Cascadia

Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society – Silver Wood Village

Ivy Court (for abuse)

Coeur d’Alene Life Care Center of Post Falls (for abuse and under Special Focus Facility Program)

Post Falls Prestige Care & Rehabilitation

Lewiston Royal Plaza Health and Rehabilitation of Cascadia

Lewiston Silver Ridge Care

Coeur d’Alene Skyline Transitional Care Center (for abuse)

Boise Twin Falls Transitional Care of Cascadia (for abuse)

Twin Falls Valley View Nursing & Rehabilitation

Boise Valley Vista Care Center of Saint Maries

KREM-2: The rate at which Kootenai County senior citizens are entering into homelessness is on the rise, due to skyrocketing costs of living: “There were a lot of times we couldn’t get food, or a place to eat or anything else. We went to the food bank when we could, but we couldn’t store anything because we didn’t have a fridge.”-Gary Martin, 82 years old, living in his car with his wife and adult daughter
